"You win best dressed"
LOVED this dress. I wore it for a Knoxville summer wedding. The fit is great, comfortable, and flattering. The color is really fun. It was an outdoor wedding with a barn reception. It was perfect with a pair of wedges. I'd wear it again in a second!

Not for curves
This jumpsuit is adorable but not made for anyone with hips. I was so excited and ultimately so disappointed that this didn't fit. I tried the 0R. It was extremely tight on my hips and upper thighs (I couldn't quite sit down), but fit perfectly up top. The 2R was still extremely tight on my hips and thighs, but was a little too big on top. I still might have worn the 2R if there wasn't so much excess fabric between the waist and crotch. It's either a very high waistline or very low crotch - either way, it's not the right fit if you're short. I recommend this for tall, straight figures without curves. Huge bummer since it's so cute!

Sparkles!
I wore this to a fundraiser/masquerade ball. It has a very low front; maybe not the best for large chests but was great my 32B. I didn't need fashion tape, the top fit snugly. I'd definitely rent it again.

Pockets!
Fabulous dress! I wore this to a black tie wedding. The pattern is beautiful. The bodice is tight, but the back doesn't lay correctly if it's too loose. The skirt is full and hangs perfectly. Pockets! The front is shorter than the back so it wasn't too long with 2-inch heels. But the back did drag on the floor. I made sure to keep it lifted when I was outside. It was a stunning gown that made me stand out just enough.

Not for the vertically challenged.
I wore this for my friend's wedding. In retrospect, it wasn't the best dress for a Labor Day wedding in Arkansas. It has a thicker fabric. However, the dress itself was stunning. It has a slightly higher than natural waistline which was very flattering and hung beautifully. It also has pockets! The bodice has boning which was great for most of the night, but by the end it was digging into my back. The only downside is the length. It was a solid 6 inches too long even when I was in 3 in heels. And that was the regular! Not the best for short girls. BUT, I still felt beautiful.

"You look like Audrey Hepburn"
This dress is fantastic. Lovely silhouette, great color. It isn't the most forgiving fabric, but it hangs well. The sizing was good. It was good for a small chest and even fit my larger hips. I'd definitely rent it again.

"You look like a princess"
This is a really fun dress! I wore it for a black & white gala and definitely stood out in a sea of more standard LBDs. The tutu skirt is really fun and made the look. I will say it doesn't look as polished as it does on the model. The bodice fabric doesn't have much structure to it and on a petite person, sat low. Too low to wear a real bra - I'm lucky to be small-chested so I didn't have to! Other than that, a great dress! Comfortable and chic!

Will definitely try to rent it again!
Sadly, due to UPS, I was not able to wear this dress to a NYE wedding. But I'm giving 5 stars for AMAZING customer service. I spoke with Madison the day before my event and not only did she follow up with UPS, but she also sent me a list of alternative dresses that RTR could overnight to the hotel. And when none of those really fit the bill, I was given a full refund. I've been a huge fan of RTR for years and this just reinforces my love for this company! My one comment - open a show room in Chicago please!!

Perfect sihouette!
I wore this to my cousin's wedidng. It was absolutely beautiful! The color was very similar to the photo. It is very fitted through the waist and a bit bigger in the bust, but tape took care of any gapping. The fabric is high-quality; the dress has a very vintage feel. The bottom came down to the middle of my knees, but I wore very high heels so it didn't mess with my proportions too much, I would rent this again!

Great for dancing!!
I wore this to a winter wedding and it was a fabulous dress! It is loose in the bust, even with some padding I had slipping issues. Besides that, it was perfect. Excellent for dancing and still an appropriate formal wedding length.

Soft and beautiful!
I wore this to a co-worker's wedding in Chicago. I loved it from the second I put it on. It's not itchy at all and looks stunning. It is a bit tight in the shoulders but didn't not fit. Just restricted some movement. It's looser in the waist (all the better for eating). It is poofy, but embrace it! It's part of the charm! Overall, very good rental experience, as always!

The bride said, "You have to buy that dress!"
I received so many compliments on this dress! I wore this dress to a winter wedding in Aspen and it was perfect! The dress was classy and nice enough for the occasion but still fun and easy to dance in. It's hard to see in the photo, but the iridescent green really stands out nicely and gives the look some sparkle. I found it to be true to size and the length was good on a short body. The zipper was definitely troublesome; I couldn't zip it up without help and even with help it was difficult. That said, once it was up, there were no other problems. Another great rental!

Classic, flattering, gorgeous!
I wasn't sure about this dress when it arrived. I'm very short and the proportions were a bit off. The length of the bodice and the skirt on the size 2 were too long. The 0 was still a bit long, but better. The bodice is also better for a straight/narrow body. It was tight on my rib cage but looser on my waist (though not needing a bra was great), and as others have said, the zipper is difficult. All of that said, once I came around it to, I loved it!! The color is spectacular. The skirt flows and camouflages hips very well. It was perfect for showing off my shoulders and arms. For a wedding, I think this was the perfect dress - sexy and stylish without being too tight or revealing.

A night with fabulous women in a fabulous dress.
I wore this dress to my sorority's centennial celebration. It was very flattering and fashionable while also being appropriate for an event with women from 18 to 80. Pros: Comfortable, skims over the body, fits well without fashion tape (no wardrobe malfunctions here). Cons: Because it is not as fitted as some dresses, it can look baggy from certain angles. I ordered a 2 and a 4. The 4 was too big and the 2 fit well enough. I do wish I had erred on the smaller side and ordered the 0 and 2. Overall this is a great dress that received lots of compliments from all ages. I felt sophisticated and sexy all at once.

"Wow, that dress is so beautiful!!!"
I wore this dress for my sorority sister's wedding and it was perfect! It was comfortable and fit well (with a solid pair of spanks underneath). I did encounter the bumpy zipper, but nobody even noticed. The style was appropriate for the event and looked great all night. My body shape is a pear and the skirt, while allowing room for hips, does emphasize them. So not a great pick if you want to minimize those, but if you love your curves, it's perfect!
