Tight at the bust
What a cute design! The floral asymmetric pattern and fabric were nice. The tailored look was well done. But just too tight at the bust. Uniboob flattened look to squeeze my chest into the dress. I had to pass on wearing it to work. So sad!

Too tight and too short
I rented this for the wrong occasion. I was hoping i could work it into a work dress but the size runs a bit smaller and shorter than I was comfortable with wearing. The material is a luxurious thick fabric and I wish it would have fit better because the design otherwise is unique but not a huge overstatement.

Wow what a dress!!
I might have written the wrong review on this dress by accident. In reality this dress was AMAZING! Loved the fit, flare, cut, fabric, design. So feminine but not overwhelmingly so. I didn't want to let this one go.

A little too comfortable
Lots of room at the busy but just not a tailored clean look at the waist and runs a bit larger than size. Great length and detail though!

Talk about under statement. This pair of earrings is truly such an elegant understatement. Worn to a wedding and made me feel glamorous. For dangling earrings, they were lightweight and had a study backing (almost a little too sturdy - harder to take on and off quickly). The studs on it were simple and caught the sunlight and dance floor lights just right. Really love these earrings and I would rent them again and you should, too.

What a color statement!
So - I didn't end up wearing this dress. The reviews said it was true to size. And that is true....around the waist. It was unforgiving around the bust. So, be aware. But, if it had fit around my chest, I definitely would have worn it to the wedding rehearsal and dinner and it would have been a smash hit! just an ADORABLE dress with really vibrant color! Makes me happy just looking at the color of the dress.

Pretty in lace!
I wanted to wear this for my graduation, but ended up choosing a different dress. However, this was just a stunning dress and I couldn't NOT wear it. I took it out for a run at this unforgettably amazing restaurant and it was just beautiful. The ribbing is form fitting so it is a bit tight. And I'd say the dress overall runs just a little smaller than true fit, but I think if you aren't as busty it would be true to fit. Don't have doubts about this gorgeous dress.

just a stunning dress
This dress is phenomenal. It is true to size and forgiving for all those bustier ladies. It is so flattering in all he right places. TONS of complements. I thought the colors might not be perfect for a summer wedding in Portland but it worked out beautifully outdoors with the sun. Paired it with a gold necklace and the best RTR earrings. Truly a must get!

Pretty in pink
I ended up not wearing this dress because the size 12 I ordered was too small for my bust and arms. So bustier ladies, definitely size up! The pink is OH-so-bright and vibrant if that's your style. Wanted to wear it for a summer wedding in Portland, but ended up going with a different dress because of the fit issue.

Unforgettable Residency Graduation
True to fit. A little long, but I'm short. Went with a gold theme - shoes, necklace, earrings. LOVE LOVE LOVE this dress. Really, just made me feel fabulous all night. And I got a ton of compliments. The back is stunning.

Ended up making a great date dress
Excellent fit except a bit tight at the armpits. Very flattering. I rented this for work, but the slit actually rides quite high especially when sitting down, but worked wonderfully for a date. ;)

Great style, just a bit off appliqué
Love the style. The tapered look is great. And for shorties the shorter front is complemented by the floor length back. The model in the picture is tall! The lace back is phenomenally adorable. The fit is almost perfect except right around the armpits - just a bit too tight. The appliqué in the pictures looks fun, but in real life seemed a bit too much. Maybe it just wasn't my style. Good cleavage in the front without being overwhelming.

Perfect fit for busty lady!
Wow what a perfect fit! I was so tempted to just purchase this dress. I can see why others would think that it's a bit big on top, but for bustier ladies, this is the fit we've all been waiting for, seriously. I paired it with a light brown belt and some cute white sandals and my look was complete.

Classy romper!
Rented this for an adorable classy everyday look and it did not disappoint! Fits great for busty people. And I'm short so I think the romper length is fine. The zipper on this particular one was slightly broken though which made it exceptionally hard to get on and off by myself, which is definitely a disadvantage for a romper...

Too busty to wear
True to fit except for the bust! I'm a 36DDD and the zipper would not even close around my chest. Looks like a flattering cut for the chest, but it's very revealing for those busty chested ladies out there. The rest of the dress (though I could not actually wear it) iss fabulous. The color is rich and the fabric is luxurious. Short ladies like myself would definitely need to get the petite length or wear ridiculously high heels with the regular length.
