I didn't love this because I learned that I hate having the collar around my neck like this one. Now I know... But otherwise it fit great and the length was fine even with bare feet (I'm 5'4"). I wish it was a bit more flowy and I think it may have been more flattering if I'd done the larger size and it was super baggy. But it was great for a dinner on the lake with friends!

I seriously can't wait to rent this again. The waistline felt tight at first, but it is adjustable since it's a wrap dress. The skirt was perfect length on on 5'4" body. I have a bit of a belly and it was not an issue, no shapewear needed. The straps are definitely an inch or 2 too long. I forgot safety pins so I just twisted them around my black bra strap (regular bra with this dress!). Flattering, comfortable, and SO classy looking. LOVE THIS.

Only con - this is VERY long. I am 5'4" and if you look at the hem in the picture, I had to use double-sided tape to take the bottom up a good 6 inches. It's very easy to do though since the fabric is so thin. I wore a regular bra with this. It was super comfortable. Very light, perfect for a beach cocktail party. I was surprised at how flattering this was - the waist was so slimming and the neckline is beautiful. This is a dress I would really like to own.

I ADORE this dress. The structure to the skirt made it extremely flattering - I have a pooch from having kids and it smoothed everything out, no need for shapewear. The length was great on my 5'4" frame with heels and the 10R size. The only real issue is the top. It was somewhat loose, I had to shorten the straps in the back and safety-pin them which made a huge difference. I also absolutely needed tape to keep it from showing everything when I leaned forward. I did wear a sticky-bra but it was more of a pain than it was worth and I took it off. Be prepared for how low-cut this is - it looks extremely classy, but I was a bit self-conscious. That being said, I felt AMAZING in this dress and would absolutely rent it again.

This dress was much more fancy than I had anticipated. I felt a bit overdressed for the event (local movie premiere). But it was very pretty. I wasn't in love with it though. The shape didn't do much to flatter my belly (I'm not big on Spanx), but the pockets and the skirt were amazing. Overall, I liked the dress a lot, but wouldn't get it again. Perfect for a fall event, though. Oh and much more colorful in person.

This is the best dress I've ever rented!! I adore this one. The fit is so flattering and it doesn't seem as if it would be because the fabric is sheer - the pleats are in the perfect spot. It was sexy but modest at the same time (if that's even possible). For sizing, I felt like it may run a size large as I got a different dress and had to wear it at a 10 (it was tight on the waist) but this fit very nicely at an 8. This did everything right to my waist and legs, which is a problem area for me right now. It may have been a bit long, but I am 5'4" and with 3" shoes it was not a problem at all - I like a flowy dress! No need for any bra, the top is fitted well and holds you in plus the black lace has a nude layer under to hide anything. Get this dress, you won't be sorry. I had people asking me about it 2 days later!

I adore this dress. I am 5'4" and it was a perfect length. Really flattering for a pear shape. I do wish that I had a larger size, though, as the waist has no give at all. It was extremely fitted right at the black waistband, but the top was a tiny bit loose. No need to wear a bra, but if your waist is out of proportion to your bust, this may be a bit of a challenge to fit. I would suggest getting your true size and the size larger. I got a lot of compliments and felt wonderful in it, so I would strongly recommend it to anyone for a cocktail party, summer wedding, or fun event. Oh, and there are pockets, which was perfect bc with the flouncy skirt, I was able to carry my phone and lip gloss!

This was for an island cocktail party with a variety of styles and formality levels. I felt like this dress fit in perfectly - easy to dress up or down. The layering wasn't as obvious as I'd feared and it was just overall classy, comfortable and fun. Great color too. (forgot to take a picture at the event, luckily I snapped one wearing it before returning!)

Pros - flowing, nice coverage but still sexy, classy color, the pleating makes for a cool spin! Cons - the waistline rode up all night but in hindsight I think I was just trying to pull it down when it was meant to sit above my true waist. the R was definitely too long - it was very distracting and I wore very high heels. Overall, the pictures were beautiful and the reaction was very positive with tons of compliments, but I never felt fully comfortable in it mainly because of the length and the odd waist.

I wasn't the most comfortable in this dress. There is no give on the fabric and it was VERY tight on my bottom half (true pear-shape body). The defined waist was helpful, but I just didn't think this was the best dress for a somewhat-curvy girl. But, it must be said that I got a LOT of compliments and people kept coming up to me and saying that they heard I got the dress from RTR and asking about it. So, while I may not have been the most comfortable, it certainly looked great!!

I got this dress for a wedding and it was really unflattering. I have a pear shape and a bit of a pooch from recently having kids and the waistline fell directly at my natural waist, which emphasized my lower stomach. I did wear Spanx, but it gave me no shape at all. A friend tried it on, though, and it was beautiful on her. She has a very straight body-type with thin hips. This isn't the dress for a pear-shape. BUT, it has a bra in it, which is really nice! (first picture is me, second is my friend)

This dress was so light and flowy and I felt incredibly sexy in it. Almost too sexy for a wedding, as I got a crazy amount of compliments on it!! It is very secure - I wore it with a NuBra. I can't say enough good about it, in fact I am planning to rent it again for a beach vacation with my husband's work... I don't mind taking on the role of eye candy (self-imposed!) in this dress, especially I am the mom of 2 very young kids so showing off my body is a tough thing right now :-) Lots of fun, extremely flattering and great colors.

I got earrings to go with a dress of an unusual color. I was thrilled with having the accessorizing done for me and everyone really loved the earrings. I'll definitely do this again, it just adds to the overall fun of the rental!

I really loved this dress! I am most definitely not as skinny as the model, but it looked VERY similar on me. The key is the loose-fitting dropped-waist. Very flattering. I typically wear an 8, but the only sizes available were 4 and 10. The 4 fit very well, so that is an idea of how large the dress runs. Also, there are pockets, which I didn't see in the description! Under the pleats at the drop-waist seam. SO cute. I dressed it up with silver shoes for a wedding in the city. Excellent dress, enjoy!

This is definitely more lime than yellow but I loved it. the waist is true to size and there is definitely no give in the hips... I needed shapewear to feel comfortable as a pear shape. But I got a HUGE amount of compliments on it. Wore it with killer black pumps and I felt pretty sexy all night... spans and all!
