26 weeks pregnant!
As most have said, this dress runs LARGE! I was 26 weeks pregnant & up almost 20 lbs but wore a size 2. My regular pre-pregnancy dress size is a 0/2. That said, this was a pregnant girl's dream dress. The material was very thick & stretchy - I felt like it was holding everything in place but still allowed me to move & breath comfortably. The front is a bit low so be prepared to have lots of cleavage & if you have a smaller bust I'm not sure this would work with your body type or if you had a smaller waist. Lots of bonus points for being able to wear a regular bra with this dress. At 5'1 the dress was just a tad longer than I would have preferred but overall was fine. I'm not sure I would rent this not pregnant as the cut may not work with my normal frame but depending on your body type I think this dress could be very flattering. It's a very dark navy color and simple/classic. Very happy I read the reviews & rented this style. And shout out to RTR customer service who was able to get me a smaller size before my event (originally ordered a 4 and was swimming in it!). Did I mention this dress runs LARGE!? Definitely size down at least one dress size but maybe two!

Such a fun dress!
Loved this dress! It does run a little small but not much. I usually fit in to a 0 or 2 and ended up wearing the 2 since I could breathe a bit easier. The fabric is thick so it hides any imperfections and doesn't wrinkle easily. The stitching is at an angle across the chest so I can see how someone with a larger chest may not like the way it sits but it wasn't an issue for me. I loved the skirt/hemline. I tend to wear sheaths or body fitting dresses so this was a fun switch up. It was fun & flirty and perfect to wear to our welcome wedding dinner. I should note that while the fabric is thick it wasn't hot. We had unusually warm 90 degree weather and I was walking through jersey city and was fine. I'm also 5'1 and I thought the length was great - not too long which is normally a fear of mine!

My something borrowed
I was looking for long earrings that would compliment my simple wedding dress and couldn't find anything I liked so I turned to RTR for my something borrowed! I had rented these once before and I couldn't stop thinking that they would go well with my dress, flowers, etc and I couldn't be more happy with how everything looked together. These are large but not heavy and I like that they are a clasp and not the usual earring back (which I'm always afraid will fall off). I love these earrings so much I'm still thinking about just purchasing them. They are timeless and gorgeous. Not too flashy but so beautiful and comfortable to wear.

Gorgeous!
Rented these to wear the night before my wedding with a RTR dress. They were simple, elegant, and super sparkly - everything I wanted! I tend to like simple jewelry and I thought this were simple but still gave a little wow factor.

Gorgeous but small!
Really liked this dress - it was a thicker material which hid any imperfections and the color was a deep red. Like everyone else has said it runs small so I sized up for my back up and wore that - and it was still quite tight on the bottom. Despite being a snug fit on the bottom I thought the top ran a bit large. Regardless I enjoyed the dress but probably wouldn't rent again - i prefer being able to move & dance around comfortably. Although I enjoyed all the compliments I received !!

Such a fun & flattering dress!!
I am obsessed with this dress! The fit was true to size - I usually wear 0 or 2 depending on the style. Both fit but I opted for the 2 since it fit a little looser which I thought was better for dancing. I noticed in some pictures the cut out was quite large but I don't think it's meant to be like that and you can wear it so the cutout is small, which is how I wore it. The fabric was a bit thicker to help hide imperfections without being too heavy or hot. The high neck & modest hemline complemented the cutout. The dress was flirty & fun but still appropriate for a wedding. The flower print - which isn't something I'd normally pick - was great! This dress would really be perfect for an island setting but worked perfect for a spring wedding. You may need some fashion tape if you're larger on top. I was a little nervous the overlay top might shift up a little too much. Luckily I didn't have any problems but I can see how I might be an issue. If you are considering this dress- rent it now!!

Hits in all the right spots!
I love this dress!! The color was gorgeous and the fit was sexy but elegant. I thought this ran pretty true to size. The 0R was a bit long for me at 5'1 but not terrible. I had also rented a 2P but it was pretty large and the ruching gave me the appearance of a flabby belly. I'd recommend ordering your true size and sizing down for a back up. The ruching on the 0R hide any imperfections and accentuated my hourglass shape. The back is open but the high neckline balances out how much skin you show. There is a built in shelf bra but there isn't any padding. I ended up going braless due to lack of time to purchase a backless bra and it was fine but it would have been nice to have a little extra support and some padding. Again, not a deal breaker but if you rent this dress (which you definitely should!) I'd recommend purchasing/using a backless, slightly padded bra - especially in colder months. I love this dress & will probably rent again!

Gorgeous (loud) color!
The dress runs a bit small in the bottom but I thought the top was pretty true to size. I sized up and wore the 4 with a bit of a padded strapless bra since there was some room (the 2 top was perfect but was too tight on the booty). The color is a very loud pink, almost day glow but I mean that in the best possible way. None of the pictures do the dress color any justice. The cutouts were perfect - sexy but still conservative and classy. I received so many compliments all night in this dress and felt great. I gave 4 stars just because I don't think the bottom and top were sized in coordination with eachother, but the thicker fabric plus the bra underneath allowed the 4 to work out for me. It would have been 5 stars if the 2 bottoms were just a bit larger or had more stretch.
