Perfect for Summer wedding
My date couldn't keep his eyes off me. Light and flowy, was great for an outdoor (hot) wedding. Easy to move in to dance the night away!

Cute, but more an "everyday" dress
Cute dress, but too informal for an outdoor wedding. I'd wear this to a company picnic or outdoor date.

Borderline Matronly
What a beautiful dress on the model, but makes me look schlumpy and matronly. I'm 5'9", and I swear the dress made me appear 2 inches shorter. The high neck and high waistline didn't do any favors either. Very disappointing. Great material though, and very well made.

Awesome for Hourglass figures!
I. Loved. This. Dress. Received compliments all night long. Was perfect as my bridesmaid dress. Comfortable and was able to dance all night long -- and get to wear a regular bra -- huge plus. Definitely go with an L if you're over 5'7" - the R runs short and was over my toes.

If you're over 5'7", definitely get the L - the R runs short. Material is very thin.

Not for Ladies with Hips!
This was a back-up dress, thank goodness. The peplum definitely accentuates your hips! I also recommend getting the L if you're over 5'7" - this dress runs very short.

Bust is TIGHT - great for an hourglass figure
Pros: Perfect for an hourglass shape. Very elegant and a bit more conservative if that's the type of event you're going to. Gives you a great shape. Cons: Bust is TIGHT. Could not wear a bra (which is ok, since it comes with a bra lining.) I could barely zip the dress closed at the top, which smushed my boobs down and made look pretty flat. Also, the dress is beginning to look worn - the tulle and lace in the skirt is haggard and snagged, and the tulle along the top no longer hugs the bodice the tightly, but bunches/poofs out. It just comes from wearing/being dry-cleaned. This size needs some attention/sewing love.

Simple Elegance
Loved how beautiful this is and the fit is perfect! Clings in all the right places. Wore a nude bra underneath which you can't see through the sheer back. I wore it to a formal gala, and it was perfect. People were sneaking pictures of me/the dress with their phone - a bit surreal. The only issue I had with this dress was the lining on the inside was coming apart/falling off. (It's just been dry-cleaned too many times.) You couldn't tell from the outside, but the lining would get caught on my heels. RTR just needs to stitch it back up.

Lovely color, TOP IS HUGE
A beautiful and overall flattering dress -- I loved the color! However, did not end up wearing it, as the top is huge, and I kept "slipping out" on the left side. Definitely recommend lots of tape -- or if you're smaller busted, would not recommend. Also, the material felt a bit cheap - but it would be perfect for a hot summer formal affair.

GORGEOUS, Lovely Material -- Perfect for Winter!
The quality of this dress is absolutely outstanding. The material is lush and falls nicely. The lace back is perfection. You will receive compliments all night! One thing to note -- I would not wear this in summer/hot weather, as skirt material is too thick.

Perfect for Winter party, but gathering at waist adds girth
This was a very pretty dress, but it continually rode up on me. I also wasn't a fan of the waistline -- the gathering added inches around, instead of slimming. The L was slightly too big for me, maybe if I had tried it in the M the fit would've been better.

Amazing - but didn't come with the belt!
I LOVE this dress. It was absolutely perfect for my high school reunion. Pretty, flirtatious, effortless. I got so many compliments, AND it's soft - the texture/pattern is great! My only complaint is that both sizes didn't come with the tie belt - at first I thought I misread the dress description, but it's definitely supposed to be there. RTR, put this on sale so I can buy it!

Stunner for Engagement Party
This was a perfect dress for a friend's engagement party - I wanted to stand out but not steal the show. I got a ton of compliments and the colors are amazing! Plus, it was very figure flattering (love the pockets) without being overtly sexy. Will definitely rent again!

Beautiful, but hard to see the details
This dress has some lovely boning in the bodice, and is very flattering for all body types - but it's such a dark navy blue it's hard to see it! I wasn't a huge fan of this dress - the lace aged me about 10 years. You can get away with not wearing a bra, but I need the support of one, so I didn't end up wearing it to my event.

Gorgeous Color!
This was my back-up dress, and while beautiful, I went with my 1st choice. I'm 5'8.5, and the L was WAY too long - even with heels the dress pooled around my feet. The color was absolutely stunning, but the top runs a little big, and I was told I looked flat-chested in it. I'll try this one again for a more formal affair, but definitely getting the 10R and maybe even going a size smaller!

Perfect for work event
I went with my other dress, but this was very flattering. Conservative but fun, so great for a work event. The pink shwoop also cuts right through the midsection so is very flattering for those looking to minimize the tummy!

Great dress, but hard to see the black detailing
This was perfect for a work event/party, but a bit snug. I usually wear a 10, and only the 44 was available, so I took a chance. It fit, but was tight, especially around the hips. I'd also be wary of the cap sleeves - they hit me right in a spot that made my arms look HUGE. I got a lot of compliments, but didn't like any of the photos because of my arms!

My head was spinning from all the compliments!
This was my back-up dress for Valentine's Day, and since my rentals came in a day early (and my first choice worked), I ended up wearing it on a nice day in the city. I went totally casual with a pair of flats and my hair pulled back to meet friends for drinks/dinner and a show, and everyone LOVED this dress - even complete strangers on the street gave me their good opinion. The V in the back is a bit low, and will show a bra strap, and the arm holes are also cut a bit low, so the edge of your bra will show there as well. Like other reviewers said, ribbons are a black/gold. This is a perfect dress for a picnic or outdoor event!

Perfect Dress for Valentine's!
I felt like a million bucks in this dress, and most importantly, the boyfriend loved it. A complete stranger even stopped me at the symphony and said I "looked like a Valentine". Dress is perfect for any formal occasion, nice detailing around the waist, and the sleeves are the perfect length if you want to hide upper arms.

Perfect lady
This dress was awesome and fit like a glove. Love the purple-blue rich color, and the fabric/lining are high-quality. Recommend pairing it with a fun belt, so you have more of a defined waistline.

This did not look good on me at all unfortunately. Per the other reviewers, the slip does smooth everything out nicely, but I just felt like the dress was for a sexy 40s something, not for someone in their 20s.

Love, love, love this dress. I got so many compliments! At first I was a little unsure, because on the hanger it doesn't look that special - but after trying it on, it hugs all the right places (very important for us curvy girls). Will definitely be renting again!

Beautiful material, but lining likes to creep up along the top
The draping was beautiful, and it was very easy to move in. But it looked a little "bridesmaid" - adding a belt definitely helps that problem and to define the waist/side ruching. Also, the inner lining (which is a lighter blue) kept coming up along the top and was obviously noticeable. This one wasn't for me - I went with another dress for the wedding.
