The fit was bizarre
I wanted to love this dress, I really did. But a 10 fit like a 4 in some areas and I normally wear a 6. It was just the most bizarre dress I've ever tried to wear. It was super revealing in the chest and super tight in the tummy but totally normal everywhere else. But the fabric is really stunning!

I want to keep it and wear it every second of every day
This necklace is my favorite accessory I've ever rented. It is long and classy and I got more compliments on the necklace than I did on my dress, that's how eye catching it is. Seriously can I just keep it? Too perfect.

GORGEOUS fabric!
The romper is even prettier in person than in the pictures, I'm so sad I forgot to take pictures in it. It's a great length, the waistband is a little tight so if you're insecure about your tummy/hips I would size up just to be safe. It's just overall really really fun to dance in.

A bit awkward
Let me start by saying I'm 5ft tall and don't have a totally flat stomach. So with that being said, the dress was well made, great material and gorgeous fabric - seriously it is stunning in person. However, it was the absolutely wrong dress for my body type. It's super tight and went down to my knees and just looked all wrong. You could see every imperfection and I don't even think that wearing an XXL would help hide them. Really sad that this dress didn't work on me because like I said it's really a beautiful dress.

Not so flattering :/
The last Clover Canyon dress I rented had a really busy pattern so even though it was tight it was distracting from any problem areas. But this was was a bit on the plainer side so you saw every nook and cranny. It's a really great dress if you have a totally flat tummy, but that just wasn't the case for me and I couldn't wear it.

Perfect for James Bond themed formal!
Absolutely stunning dress, I was so upset to return it! The color and fabric are so rich and beautiful, it's a bit thicker fabric than I assumed but I danced the night away in it and it was fine the whole time. I couldn't wear a bra with it because it was pretty tight but it still looked great. The cut is very slimming and the dress itself is so gorgeous that I didn't have to accessorize too much. I would get your second size in a size up instead of down. I would highly recommend this dress to everyone!

Just a bit too snug
The dress itself is a beautiful Herve, the colors are really great and dark. I think I'm just in denial about how much weight I've gained because the dress was just too snug. It's been worn many times before I'm sure so the fabric isn't brand new and doesn't suck you in like a brand new Herve. I wish a medium would have been available but it just didn't work out so I couldn't wear it. Also, the black band in the middle of it is very large and if you are hourglass shaped it hits at a really funny angle. Beautiful dress, definitely would look drop dead gorgeous on someone with an athletic built.

Weird Fit
First, I just want to give a big shout out to RTR customer service they are absolutely incredible! As far as the dress goes I unfortunately didn't get to wear it because the fit was very strange. It was normal size 6 in the hips area but the bust was more for a size 10. I tried wearing two bras to fill it out but it was just too big. It's a beautiful color and the fabric looks very expensive, but the bust is very large.

Made NYE feel really elegant
The pros: This is a great dress, it's color is great and it feels a bit sexy with the nude underlay. It is comfortable, no zipper so it goes right over your head. It runs very true to size, I ordered a 4 and 6, they weren't too different in size but the 6 felt more like a potato sack. I really did love this dress and didn't want to return it. I wore it for New Years Eve, it was perfect for our get-together. The cons: this dress has no shape to it, which would look great on a girl with a smaller bust. For us bustier girls it just pushes the dress out as far as our bust and makes us look a bit larger. To give it more shape it would look lovely with a belt.

Pretty Dress
This dress is very pretty on the hanger, however it was not my favorite dress in the world. The color is much more blue in person, but still very pretty. It was a bit big, I wish I had gotten a size smaller. It photographed really well and I had a great night at my sorority's semi-formal in it, but I don't think I would rent it again.

Photographs well
I rented this for my sorority's semi-formal and this is such a sassy dress! I loved the cut-outs on the side and the bow in the back, it felt classy with a twist. Overall a very pretty dress, fit well, the back stayed tied, I didn't need fashion tape or any kind of extra support. I could not wear a bra with it so I recommend getting an adhesive bra if you need to wear one.

Cost Efficient
This is a great buy, it really adds up saving money on the insurance and shipping fees and I love that I get a free dress on my birthday - it realy helps me feel like a birthday princess. If you're an avid RTR user like I am becoming, I would highly suggest purchasing this.
