Perfect for the holidays
I really liked this dress - it was perfect for the holidays because it has a little sparkle but its also not too formfitting that it shows when you've overdone it on the holiday cookies. Only complaint would be that it's a little short for me, but with black tights it was totally fine.

Just the right amount of sexy
I loved this dress. The longer length and conservative front make it totally appropriate for a wedding but the sheer back adds a hint of sexiness and fun. The front of the dress doesn't have any structure so I wore a nubra with it which was perfect, may not work for bigger busted girls though

Great for tall girls!
I really liked this dress, the only reason I didn't wear it was because I liked my other rental better (the emerald green strapless badgley mischka). Beware the long version of this dress is SUPER long. I am 5'10 and wore 3 inch heels and this was still dragging on the floor. With some higher heels though, I would definitely rent again.

Weird fit
I didn't end up wearing this dress, the fit was very weird and just did not flatter my body shape at all (larger hips & butt). I think this would work best on a stick skinny girl.

Gorgeous color - runs long!!
I wore this to a black tie wedding and got so many compliments on this dress - everyone loved the color. I'm usually between a 4 and 6 and went with the 4L in this dress. Even the 4L was a little big though, I had to pull up the top throughout the night. It probably wouldn't be an issues though for someone with a larger chest. I was also shocked at how long this dress was. I'm 5'10 and was wearing about 3inch heels and i still had to hold the dress up when dancing to avoid tripping all over it. Overall, I probably wouldn't rent this again because the fit wasn't ideal but it was so fun for the night - and the material is great for dancing!

Pretty dress, weird fit
I really loved the style and color of this dress, but the fit was a little off on me. It was snug in the hips but big in the waist. I still ended up wearing it because it was better than my back-up dress but I wouldn't rent it again. If you have bigger hips and a smaller waist, I would not recommend it.

Fun party dress
I rented this as my backup dress for a wedding. I didn't end up wearing it because it was pretty short on me so I didn't think it was appropriate. This would be a great dress for a night out though. Also - the color is more purple than in the picture, which actually made me like it even more.

Good for smaller busts
I wore this to a wedding with a backless dress. I was concerned about it staying on but I was dancing all night and never had an issue! Doesn't offer much support, which wasn't a problem for me but I don't think it would be ideal for someone with a larger bust.

Great party dress! Loved the pockets!
I was so happy with this dress, it was incredibly comfortable and flattering. I would recommend sizing down for your back-up size, because it did run a little larger than I expected. Probably wouldn't have been an issue for me though if I had a larger bust.

Gorgeous Dress!
I absolutely loved this dress! It was comfortable and the ruching was incredibly flattering. The color was even better in real life and the open back was just the right amount of sexy for a wedding. Would definitely recommend this one!

Fun dress, didn't fit well
This dress was really cute and fun, it had more sparkle than I was expecting. I ordered the 4 and 6 and unfortunately both sizes just didn't fit well in the bust. I knew i would be pulling it up all night. I went with my back up dress instead.

Perfect for winter!
I wore this for my company's holiday party and couldn't have been happier with it! It was shorter than I would normally wear to a work event, but looks completely appropriate with black tights. The color was gorgeous, and the dress was so comfortable that I could dance all night!

Great dress, a little worn out
I ordered the S and M in this dress and both looked as though they should be retired. The material was stretched out in places and there were pulls and issues with the zipper. Its too bad because the dress was really beautiful. I ended up wearing my backup dress instead.

Love this dress!!
I absolutely loved this dress! It was a little shorter than I normally wear, but the top was so gorgeous that I didn't even care. I wore this to a Black Tie Optional wedding and it was perfect for the occassion. Would absolutely rent this again

Gorgeous color, I wish I owned this!
I absolutely loved this dress!! it was so flattering and so comfortable. The color was so vibrant and would look great on pretty much every skin tone. I ordered the 4L and the 6L, but the 4L ended up not being available. The 6L fit fine, but the 4L probably would have worked a little better. I even wore heels with this and it was still long enough, which almost NEVER happens! Would definitely rent this again!

Not for tall girls!
I really loved the shape of this dress and it was super flattering.. except that it was WAY too short! I'm 5'10, but I ordered the long version and it was even too short with flats. I wouldn't recommend this if you are over 5'7

Great dress!
The original dress that I ordered ended up being unavailable so RTR offered to send this one to me as well. Unfortunately the only size that they had available in long was XS. It ended up being too tight so I couldn't wear it. The SL probably would have been perfect. I would rent this dress for another formal event, it is gorgeous in person!

Good dress, not right for my occassion
I did not end up wearing this dress. The material makes the dress a lot more casual than I was expecting. It was also pretty short on me (I'm 5'10) so I didn't think it was appropriate for a wedding. I loved the color though and would consider renting again for a more casual event.

Good dress, but not the best fit
I really loved the dress itself, but I had some issues with fit and comfort. It is very tight and there's really no stretch so I would definitely order up for your back-up size, especially if you have larger hips. It made it very difficult to dance, climb steps, etc, but it looks great when you are just standing there! There was no hook and eye at the top of the zipper and the zipper kept sliding down an inch or so. There's also a built in bar that clips in the back that kept showing because the zipper was sliding down. Even though it is part of the dress, it just looks like a normal bra showing. Definitely make sure you have a couple safety pins to fix that.
