I really loved this dress. The jersey material was comfortable and surprisingly forgiving, and the color was a nice departure from basic black. Despite the jersey material, the dress was more than formal enough for a black tie wedding. I got a ton of compliments, and I felt comfortable yet elegant. The length could not have been more perfect for me - I am 5'3"(5'2" and 3/4 if you want to get technical) and I wore 4 inch heels - the dress hit the floor, but just barely. If you're taller and/or wear taller shoes, you'll definitely want to get the long. As for the fit - both the 8 and 10 fit very well. The dress is true to size. The 8 was just a little smaller across my stomach, so I went with the 10 so that I'd be comfortable even after eating/drinking all night. I used fashion tape to ensure that the shoulder stayed in place - I would recommend doing this, because I could see that the shoulder might otherwise slip down. The top did get a little loose as the night went on, but it was still great. I was a bit worried that the jersey would highlight problem areas, but it actually worked perfectly. The belt helped highlight my curves. Another great rental - I think this dress would work well on most everyone.

I rented this bag for my bridal shower. I was thrilled because yellow looks terrible on me, and I was able to tie in the color in a different way! The bag is the perfect size for a phone, some money and credit cards, and lip gloss (with some room to spare). I was nearly able to squeeze my camera in as well. It was very cute and had an adorable lining. It's nice that you have the option to use the chain or tuck it away.

Gorgeous color, perfect size earring! Not too large but they definitely make a statement. They felt a bit heavy for the first 5 minutes, but then I got used to them and was able to wear them all day long with no problems whatsoever!!

I absolutely loved this dress - I think it wins for my favorite RTR rental ever! It was so comfortable and the colors were amazing - I got so many compliments at my bridal shower. It fits true to size, although it is a teeny bit tighter in the bust than everywhere else. The flare of the skirt gives you extra room if you have a teeny bit of a belly. What I really loved was that the back is a wide open back, but still allows you to wear a regular bra (RTR recommends a strapless, but I got away with my thick strapped bra and it was fine). The neckline is flattering, even with a larger bust. Plus, I really think girls of any height can wear this dress. Loved it, loved it, loved it. (Thanks to Whitney at the showroom for her help in picking it out!!!)

Cute, comfortable dress in a beautiful bright red. The fabric was forgiving and comfortable, and the bow made a great statement (and helps hide your belly). I really liked this dress and it worked well for the occasion, although I definitely don't think it was a WOW dress.

I liked this dress, although I didn't love it. The bright pink was beautiful and eye-catching, and the lace was delicate and feminine. However, the fit was a bit strange - it was much tighter at the top than the bottom. I usually wear size 10, but I chose to wear the 12. The 10 zipped, but it kind of smooshed my whole top; however, the bottom on the 12 was loose. I was grateful for the RTR notes and other comments saying that the dress runs small, because otherwise I would have ordered an 8 and 10 as I usually do. The fabric photographed much more shiny than it looks in person. Cute dress, but might work better for smaller busts.

This dress was very, very comfortable. I ended up not wearing it, as it was my backup, but I would have been very happy to wear this dress. The fabric has great stretch to it and I felt very comfortable moving around in it. It is rather form fitting. It looks very elegant and classy. The regular length was fine with my heels (3 or 4 inches). For reference, I am 143 pounds and I have a very large bust. I rented an 8 and a 10. Both zipped, although I would have worn the 10 had I chosen to wear the gown. The previous posters are correct about the boning, though, which is the only thing stopping me from a 5-star review. It pokes out at the hips and is somewhat visible - I think that's probably why the model's hands are on her hips in the picture. Overall, very nice dress.

I loved this dress. It was comfortable, beautiful, and perfect for the black tie wedding I attended. I weigh 143 pounds and have a very large bust (36DD). I rented an 8R and a 10R. The 8 did not zip all the way, but the 10 was absolutely perfect. I wore a bra, but the top was very supportive and most people could get away without a bra. The boning added a lot of structure to the dress, although it dug into my torso once or twice. The bottom was very flattering and hid my belly while still showing off my figure as a whole. The regular length was a teeny bit too long with my 3-4 inch heels, but nothing I couldn't handle. There was some slight wear on the back of the dress but I'm sure a zillion people rent this dress because it is so pretty. I got so many compliments and I felt great in the dress. This was my first rental and I will definitely be back!

This was a really nice-looking and comfortable dress. It's a classic LBD with a more modern strap and fit. I ordered for a wedding in both the 8 and the 10 - I recently lost about 15 pounds and was hoping to fit into the 8. The 8 fit surprisingly well, even around my chest, but I was nervous with all of the eating and drinking I'd be doing at the wedding, and felt I'd be more comfortable late into the night in the 10. Previous reviews are correct in recommending that you use fashion tape to hold the strap on your shoulder; it began to slip down very quickly. However, I had read all the reviews and so I had tape on hand. The dress itself is clean and elegant, and can either be dressed up or dressed down very easily. That being said, there is a big exposed silver zipper on the back, so make sure you like those kinds of bold details before you order. I have two main gripes. One is probably an issue on every one of these dresses that RTR has - the fabric on the skirt portion of the dress wrinkled very, very easily - luckily I was able to steam it in between the ceremony and reception with some help from the hotel shower! It wrinkled up pretty quickly again, though. Second, in my specific dress, the boning had ripped through the dress and was sticking into my ribs. I almost went back to the 8 for this reason, but I ended up wrapping it in bandaids for the night and I was okay. Overall, a beautiful, comfortable, classy dress.
