Gorgeous AND comfortable!
I LOVED this dress. Rented it to wear to a wedding and it was perfect. I would say it runs pretty TTS -- rented a M and a S, and the M was perfect but a close fit just through the lower rib area. (I'm a pretty true M everywhere, large-ish ribcage, 34B.) The fabric is soft, has a little bit of stretch, and the pattern is just stunning. It was a good weight for an early June wedding in Colorado, i.e. 80 during the day and 60 at night. I got tons of compliments on this and had so much fun dancing in it. Was able to wear without a bra or shapewear. It is *quite* low cut -- the deep V showed mostly sternum on me and still felt a little risky, so if you have cleavage or a larger chest this will be a booby vibe for sure. Overall would absolutely rent again but only for an event with a totally different set of people -- this is such a stunner that people would remember you'd already worn it, lol. Definitely rent it!!

This is an odd piece
I'm not sure how to feel about this dress. I didn't end up wearing it. Rented a size 8 but would have been much better off with my usual 4 or 6. As someone else said, this does kind of look like a theatrical costume, but tbh I don't know how much better it would have been if it had fit me properly.

Magical jumpsuit
This jumpsuit is like the pants from the Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants but in jumpsuit form. It looks so flattering in all the photos posted here on RTR and it's just as flattering in real life. Despite the thin, silky fabric, this doesn't highlight lumps and bumps and somehow is just a perfect garment. I got boatloads of compliments, from the hotel bartender to the grandma of the bride at the wedding I attended, and was comfy all night. I will say that this is NOT easy to use the bathroom in -- even more so than a usual jumpsuit, because you have to re-snap the neck and re-tie the tie, so grab a friend to help you after you pee -- but even despite that this is probably one of my favorite wedding outfits I've ever worn. Some notes about fit: As others have mentioned, there was quite a bit of sideboob going on. I'm a B/C cup so was able to just wear pasties and feel okay, but it was definitely more exposed than I'm used to. I also think this item runs large -- I am almost never a S, especially in things with no stretch (and this has no stretch), but the waistband on this fit me perfectly and I had room through the legs (which also uncommon for me because I have muscular thighs and a butt). So, size down for sure. I only got the S because the M was unavailable, but I'm actually glad I ended up with the S. This is definitely a *look*, so not something to wear if you're trying to be modest or tame in your fashion choice, but it is a showstopper.

Runs small but is beautiful
I rented this as a backup item to wear to a wedding. I'm normally a pretty TTS 4 or 6; this didn't zip up all the way in the back for me so I'd say it runs pretty small. The arm holes also seem to be pretty small. The dress is lovely, though -- a really fun color and fit. Classy but still fun.

Cute in theory, but...
I wanted this dress to work so bad! It fit me fine -- pretty TTS medium; I have a butt and thighs and a wide ribcage/muscular shoulders. It was a pretty deep V but wasn't too bad. The pattern and fabric is beautiful and the dress is well made. However, the folds on the skirt and the shoulders are just... not cute. The folds on the skirt make it kind of stiff and lumpy. I didn't notice them in the model photos but was kind of confused by them in person. And the shoulders almost seem like they have shoulder pads in them, which on me gave kind of an inverted triangle aggressive 80s vibe. I wanted this to work so bad but it was just not great on me, so I didn't wear it. I also had a hard time picking what shoes would go with it that I already owned. So.

Chic but professional and modest
I wore this dress to a funeral with tall nude suede heels and it was perfect for that kind of event. It's modest and professional-looking while still being stylish and feminine. I wore a 6 but could have worn the 4 -- went with the 6 so it was less form-fitting, but I would say it runs slightly large. The fabric is not as forgiving/a bit thinner than I would have thought -- undergarment lines will show through if you're not careful about what you're wearing. This might look a little matronly if you wear flats/lower heels because of the length, but I wore high heels and it worked okay. Overall a perfect rental for my needs for this event.

Perfect for a late summer wedding on a beautiful farm!
This dress is really beautiful! I got so many compliments. Just as other users have said -- more of a burnt orange color than in the picture (which is exactly what I wanted); a little faded on the edges from use but nothing noticeable; did have to iron the neckline and shoulders since the lace was curling in. Overall, though, really lovely. A size 6 probably would have been better for me as the bodice ended up being a little too snug (I have a large ribcage and waist compared to my hip size), which did get somewhat uncomfortable, because as others have said there is no stretch to the fabric. While it is a fairly short dress (fell to the upper edge of what I would call mid-thigh -- just about at my fingertips) I felt that, because the neckline is modest and there are no cutouts or anything, it was still appropriate for the wedding I attended. I would NOT call this dress "formal". I thought it was the perfect amount of fancy for a farm wedding. I wore it with Clarks taupe colored heeled suede booties and minimal jewelry, with jean jacket for warmth. Really beautiful dress, great first experience with RTR! Definitely recommend.
