Beautiful, unique dress
Loved this dress - was nervous it would be a bit too flashy but the material and pattern is beautiful and more understated than may seem in the photo (with all the right glimmer in the light!). Fit was great, loved the elastic waistband and length - the top was a bit large around the sides, but nothing that some fashion tape couldn't fix (top halter strap is also very adjustable). Loved it and got great compliments throughout the evening!

Stunning dress!!
Wore the small regular and it fit like a glove. Material is soft and has some give which was really nice. The back is stunning. You might need a little fashion tape in the front depending on the fit but I was totally fine. The straps also held up well, which I was a little worried about. Got compliments on this all night and afterwards - great dress and great value!

Wonderful, comfortable, season-appropriate dress
This dress has been one of my favorites thus far from RTR. The color was beautiful - a peachy blush - and the gold trim was a a fan favorite. I am a S, but the sheath lining underneath didn't have a lot of give and the zipper was a little sticky, so I ended up going with the M just to be a little more comfortable throughout the dancing portion of the evening. The M fit basically exactly the same, just a little looser around the bust. No issues with straps, length or anything else - just a super simple yet elegant piece. I wore it with RTR earrings and got lots of compliments all night long on both. It was the perfect psuedo-bridesmaid dress for a best friend's wedding - highly recommend!

Wonderful classic dress for formal event
This dress fit really well - I wore the backup 4P rather than the 4R because of the length and because the underlying "sheath" in the 4P was a bit more comfortable. I loved the fabric and the color of this dress, as well as the back design. The front design was really pretty and got me lots of compliments, but I did have to tape to keep the ladies from falling out when I bent over or danced around. But overall a great comfortable dress that had a classic but feminine look!

Perfect dress for a formal and fun wedding!
I've rented several dresses now with RTR and I think this one has been my favorite, by far. The lace was so pretty (didn't feel or look cheap) and the overall fit extremely comfortable. I didn't feel "sucked in" around my tummy at all or restricted in my shoulders, which I was kind of worried about. The length was a little longer than I had expected but it actually worked perfectly and didn't restrict my dancing or sitting in any way. Got compliments on it all night long and honestly felt like a rockstar in this dress. Would absolutely recommend!

Wonderful earrings to go with my red dress!
A little heavy, but they stood out against my single color dress and I got compliments all night!

Too tight and small to be comfortable!
I liked the cut, but unfortunately the size 4 I received was just way too small. I had to go with a different dress. The red was also a little "too" red for me, but I thought it was pretty, and the dress is of high quality.

I loved the color and feel of this dress! It was incredibly chic, yet comfortable.
I originally ordered a size 4 and a size 6 - the 4 never made it due to damage from the previous renter, but I was so pleasantly surprised when the 6 was actually the perfect size. The fabric is thick and well made - I'm a 34B and I didn't have to wear a bra. Got compliments on it all night - wore it with nude heels and the sparkly earrings suggested by RTR to complete the look! Was the perfect dress for a fall/summer wedding.

So many compliments, especially on the open back. Totally unique!
I was beyond nervous about the fit of the dress before it arrived. The first time I tried it on, I was disappointed because it fit tightly around the hips and felt a little too short for the event I was going to (really fun/festive/classy company holiday party). BUT, after I tried it on another time, I don't know if it molded or what but it was PERFECT! It fit a little looser and it hit exactly where and how I needed it to. I would still go up a size (I wore the 6 and usually wear a 2 or 4 in dresses) because it is form fitting. The open back is absolutely beautiful and I didn't have any issues with the fabric riding up or looking worn etc. I also didn't have to wear a bra, which is always a plus. The dress has a great thick lining underneath the sheer/sparkly cover so nothing is see through and there are no underwear lines. Styling: Many people had suggested gold shoes so I had originally bought a gold pair, but they didn't match AT ALL. I would suggest silver or black (which ultimately I chose). I also wore my hair up to show off the back. Wish I could have kept this gem!!
