This dress doesn't wrinkle so it was perfect to roll up and throw in a suitcase! Loved the bright colors, cool back cutout, and scalloped skirt. Too short to be full length, too long to be tea (I'm 5'7"), but still loved it so much I'd buy the dress if RTR ever sells it!

The 2 fit well in the waist and bust but the torso was too long for me to comfortably wear this. The crotch seam was a few inches too low but when I pulled it up to what looked right and allowed me to walk, the shoulders lifted up (it's stiff, structured fabric) so there wasn't a great solution. I wonder if a size 0 would have done the trick? I was disappointed because the colors and pattern are great!

Got tons of compliments on this dress, which felt like a longer, more work appropriate fit and flare. The green is rich and warm and everyone loved the polka dots. Definitely runs small. I usually wear a 2 or even a 0 but the 4 was perfect for this brand.

This dress was great for a formal but funky wedding. The silhouette, length, low back, and colors were fun to rock, but the modest neckline kept it feeling classy. The sleeves jut out a little awkwardly from the arm pits (part of the fit seeming large) but not enough to be a dealbreaker. I wish the skirt were flat and fitted to complete the sleek, modern feel, but it had a bit of a bubble cut which was disappointing. Highly recommend pairing with a purple lip!

I rented this a couple days before a black tie wedding as a backup to my original rental (which mysteriously became unavailable). At first I was upset, but as soon as I tried this on I was even happier than I think I would have been in my first choice. This dress is stunning! I was nervous about the tight fit, but it was flattering (and rigid enough to help me suck in a bit!) and I felt wonderful in it. As other reviews said, it ran short (so I'd go with the L instead of the R if you're taller than 5'5) and the straps are a tad long, but I didn't have an issue with it. The color is gorgeous!

This dress is definitely snug. I fit in the size 2, but it didn't leave much to the imagination so I felt more comfortable in the 4. The 4 is still heavy on the cleavage, but if you are looking for something on the sexier side, this is a fun, simple pick with a cool shade of blue! It's a little longer than I expected it to be, but the material is stretchy so it was just fine for dancing and walking!

Modest on top, but really short so with some heels it felt sexy and fun. Fabric is thicker so you'll stay warm at a fall/winter wedding.

The beading on this dress is gorgeous - a cool art deco pattern perfect for the Jazz Age themed party I attended. I was hoping it would be a bit more structured (as it looks in a lot of the pictures) and keep the square, straight neck and waistline, but instead it was pretty pliant and the neckline was more round than square. I would go down a size for your backup - the 0 actually fit better than the 2 but I was going for a less fitted flapper look.

Usually not a fan of straight-across necklines on a strapless dress, but I loved the fit of this one. The color is gorgeous and looks different depending on the light - more fuchsia in pictures and softer pink in person. It was a bit longer than I thought it would be so it wasn't my favorite for dancing, but I'd rent it again!

Loved the top half of this dress: the neckline is classy and different, nice to have sleeves for an early Spring wedding, and it fit snugly so a strapless bra stayed up with no fuss. However, the bottom half of the dress was baggy - I was told by a stylist this is because of the pockets. I would have given up the pockets (which I never used) for a tighter fit in the stomach / thigh area. It felt a bit frumpy and unflattering from the waist down. Still, the color is gorgeous and the dress photographs beautifully.

Very cool and different to wear a party dress with long sleeves. This dress is cut perfectly to flatter your waist and just cover your stomach in a slimming way. The mesh and tight fit felt sexy, but the high-ish neckline and sleeves made it feel less showy or trying too hard. Loved it!

Absolutely loved wearing this dress. May have been able to fit in the XS if it had been available, but that might have been too short (this was for a work event so it's for the best). It felt both modest and sexy at the same time. Dates be warned-- the sequins are scratchy to the touch. True to size, comfortable, and hardly a need for jewelry because of the built-in sequin glamour!
