Stunning dress that photographs like a dream.

Rented this for my 22-year-old daughter's graduation announcement photos. It actually was the backup dress, but the gold lace over the blush base layer was so gorgeous, and fit so well, it wasn't even a tough decision to use this one, instead. My daughter is 5'5", 110 lbs., and wears a 36C bra. The 4R fit well, and the length would have been fine with heels; however, for the photos she wore flat sandals so the hem of the dress would puddle at her feet. We wanted photos that were somewhat editorial, so selected a formal dress for a rustic setting. My daughter felt beautiful in the dress, and that confidence radiates in the photos. I've now had two well-known, professional photographers ask where I get the dresses for our photo shoots. For those sessions, and any special occasion, I always secure dresses (and sometimes jewelry) from RTR. Never have I been disappointed, and sometimes friends wear the backup dresses I've ordered for myself and my daughter.

Absolutely LOVE the look and fit of this dress! SO many different ways to where/style it!

Dress fit true to size and was surprisingly comfortable, given the amount of sequins! I noticed most reviewers have said that it's predominantly green, however, I found mine to be true to the picture. I had found and ordered shoes ahead of time hoping they'd match, and they were PERFECT! (If you're interested - they're Betsey Johnson). I am currently trying to find where/how to purchase this dress, I loved it that much! Truly an eye-catcher. It can easily be styled differently to suit your own taste if you want to throw on a different jacket, or go without, and add the right jewelry and shoes. I'd say it's a TAD bit short, but I'm a bit taller than average (5'10" without heels) so that wouldn't necessarily be fair to say. Either way it's wonderful for any party! Will definitely rent again if I cannot find to purchase! (I rented via a friend's account - I am usually a size 0, 30 yrs old, 5'10" 118lbs, bust size 32DDD).

Glamorous, Conservative & Comfortable

Rented this for an annual holiday party I host for my staff and guests. I typically wear a size 10, but it wasn't available. Received sizes 8 and 12, instead, and was able to wear the 12 although I feel the size 10 would have fit perfectly. Very true to size. Although the description states the fabric is silk, it feels more like a heavier-weight stretch jersey. I had to almost drench the hem with Static Guard to make it hang well. It wrinkled a bit during the course of a long evening, but not excessively. I'm 5'5" and the hem was right at my knee. Very appropriate for my age and the event. There's a sheer mesh lining under the gold lace, so a flesh-colored undergarment is not noticeable. There's a very slight flare from the waist to the hem, which is figure-flattering for those of us who aren't model perfect. I received compliments from all, but not sure I would rent again. It's an elegant, conservative, appropriate dress for a corporate event, but I'm not in love with the silk that feels and looks like a jersey knit (with a sheen).

Stunning dress for petite figure

Everything about this dress is stunning from the color to the fit and length. Very appropriate for a wedding. I am almost 18 years old, 5'5" and weigh 105 lbs. The Size P fits like a glove and looks like it was custom made for me.
