Pretty and comfy for bridal shower
Flattering fit, worn to outdoor bridal shower in very hot weather. I was happy with this dress. Two reasons for 4 not 5 stars: 1. neck is hard to get over your head, as noted in other reviews, but not huge issue. 2. Flaps of fabric around the neck and arms on the interior of the dress kept flipping to the outside/exterior of the dress and I had to tuck it in repeatedly. Another review mentioned this too. Maybe you could fix w fashion tape or safety pins, but this was annoying.

Beautiful fabric
Rented for formal wedding. The fabric was stunning. I was just a few weeks pregnant when worn and it hid my bloating nicely. I felt beautiful in this. True to size

Comfy and elegant for a very pregnant lady
Rented at 8 months pregnant for a black tie wedding. I felt beautiful in this and the fabric was nice and stretchy. Pre pregnancy I was 140 lbs and usually size 6; at the time worn I was about 176 lbs and wore the 10R.

Beautiful fabric and flattering fit
I have rented this dress three times. Once last year for a black tie optional wedding and twice this year for black tie optional weddings. Last year I wore the 6R at 140 lbs; this year I wore the 8R as I am a couple months postpartum and 25 lbs heavier (165 lbs). The skirt is wide and flattering and hid my post baby tummy and I felt elegant and beautiful even though I am not at my most body confident right now. The fabric is beautiful and thick. There is zero give in the fabric though so be mindful when choosing a size. It runs true to size. Zipper was a bit tough to get up and down due to multiple washings (I find this to be the case with all of my RTR rentals). I received compliments from strangers when wearing this. Pockets are a nice touch.

Versatile earrings
Rented to wear with with the navy Jill Jill Stuart Ric Rac dress. The earrings were nice but the pair I got looked worn and some of the gold color was fading from the edges which made them look cheap from up close. It didn't matter much as they were mostly hidden behind my hair - I wore them anyway and they were a nice touch, but this was disappointing. I'd have given them 5 stars if they weren't faded at the edges. They were much larger than I'm used to wearing and I could definitely feel them when I moved, but we're not heavy and was able to wear them all night.

Multicolored lace overlay made the dress special
I am usually between a 4 and 6 and end up wearing the 4. Only the 4 was available for this date and it fit perfectly. The dress has a flattering fit and came in at the waist. The snaps to hold bra straps in were great. The only thing to consider is that the lace has a tendency to catch on items, like the bracelet I rented. The multicolored lace overlay was unique and made the dress special. I got multiple compliments and enjoyed wearing it. I'd rent again for a wedding or rehearsal dinner.

Beautiful bracelet that tied my outfit together
Rented with Nicole Miller confetti flower lace dress. It was beautiful and the fact that I could adjust the size was great. Two cons: 1) it caught on the dress several times. The dress has a lace overlay so I guess this isn't shocking, but something to consider. 2) it was a little dirty, and this was disappointing because I could tell had the crystals been perfectly clear, it would have looked really incredible. That said, it tied my outfit together and was a beautiful bracelet.

Beautiful purse; a little small
I wore for an outdoor wedding ceremony, which meant I wanted to bring sunglasses. I happen to have collapsible sunglasses so it was fine, but I could barely get it to close with the glasses and my phone (iphone 6s). Couldn't fit a lipstick in there, but maybe I could have without the sunglasses. Otherwise it was great - it was very pretty and matched my outfit perfectly and made the outfit more special. Recommend (but if you have a lot of stuff, beware!).

Beautiful necklace
As some other reviewers indicate, it didn't lie perfectly flat at all times, but for the most part was fine. It's a beautiful necklace and really made the outfit special. Wore for a wedding.

Beautiful pattern and flattering fit
I wore this to a friend's wedding and received multiple compliments on the color and pattern. The dress looks like it does in the pictures and is beautiful and fun. I am usually a size 4-6 in dresses and wore the 4; the 6 was enormous. Even the 4 was large in the chest area and I felt a bra was necessary (even though it comes with a built in bra mechanism, I felt it would have been too large on top without a bra underneath). The biggest drawback was that it was large in the chest, and it was ultimately fine- I just wish it would have been a little closer fitting in that area. The rest of the dress fit well and overall it looked great. Recommend.

Flattering and fun
The back and the belt are the distinguishing features of this dress and make it fun. I was a little heavier than I usually am when I wore this dress and it felt and looked great. It came in at a nice place on my waist. Great for the occasion. I often will wear a 4 in dresses that come in at the waist like this one, and the 6 looked better than the 4 (6 is my usual size) so I wore that.
