I ordered this dress as a backup for a wedding. While the length makes it seem formal in the pictures online, it actually has a very casual look to it in person because it's linen (which I didn't realize when I ordered it). The fit is also very boxy, so I recommend going a size down from your normal size. Ultimately, I think this dress would be cuter in a shorter length for a more causal daytime affair. I didn't end up wearing it.

I rented this bag but didn't end up using it because it was so small. I couldn't even fit my iphone and a lip gloss in there at the same time and get it to close. It was really cute, but if you need to take more than some cash/credit cards and maybe a compact, be warned it probably won't fit in this clutch.

I rented this dress for a wedding. It was formal/black tie optional, and my boyfriend was the best man, so I wanted wear something special. This dress was a hit. It felt amazing on - super comfortable and flattering - and I received so many compliments. Plus it was great to dance in with the flowing skirt. The 4 Long allowed me to wear pretty high heals (5 1/4") which was perfect. I wish I had a full-body picture. I almost cried when I had to send it back.

I rented this dress for my company holiday party which is a formal but fun event. I wanted to look festive and sexy, but still professional. This dress was perfect. And as you can see, it was even photo booth jumping tested and approved. The fit and length made it sexy and fun, but the high neckline and long sleeves made it classy and professional so I wasn't uncomfortable sipping a martini with my boss. I'd definitely recommend it for a holiday or winter formal event.

I ordered this dress to wear to the rehearsal dinner for a wedding I was in this spring in Miami. The bright floral color and light flowing fabric was perfect for Miami, and i got tons of compliments on the dress. The cut was very flattering and and was easy to dance all night in. I was between the 4 and the 6, but decided to wear the 6 because i wanted to wear super high heals and the 6 was a bit longer (there wasn't that much difference in the body) If you want to wear with sandals for a beach affair I would recommend the smaller size.

I rented this bag for a wedding weekend in Miami. The bag was perfect. I used it for both the rehearsal dinner and the wedding - it's just the right size and the neutral/metallic color makes it so versatile. I was so sad when I had to send it back!

My best friend bought the summer version of this dress (cotton, bright coral) for her rehearsal dinner and I loved it on her. When I saw it on RTR in the red silk, I knew it would be perfect for my company holiday party. The dress was very flattering, easy to wear, and super comfortable. The elastic strap around the bodice inside the dress kept it perfectly in place though a night of dancing. I loved it.
