Fun Party Accessories
Loved these pair of earrings, especially with the a cozy gray sweater. An unexpected but perfect winter accessory for a going out ensemble.

Size up for wider shoulders
Usually a size 8, but the shoulders run narrow so did not end up wearing. Otherwise a really cute top, just looked funny because the capped sleeves were not hitting in the right spot.

Cute Daily Option
As others mentioned, this dress runs extremely big. I am usually at M, and I could have easily gone S or XS. It's cute and billowy, the fabric felt weighty but still felt airy because it was loose.

Agree with others that the wrinkling is unfortunate. However I still thought the dress was beautiful, fun, and the ruffles allow for you to wear it without a bra, which is a huge plus for me. I really loved it!

Great Garden Wedding Option
Dress had an interesting cut but made for a tight and specific fit. I found the dress to be tight in the rib cage area and the strap just didn't fit my body type. Otherwise i thought it was a pretty dress and loved the color of it. The fabric is non stretch so areas in which it's not a perfect cut for your body type will show puckering.

Daytime Party
Ended up wearing the backup dress, as this dress just didnt work for my long torso. Because it is body con and non stretch, the way it was cut did not fit my body shape. Also the material has some shine to it, which I did not expect.

As some others have mentioned, the underslip kept showing as it was too long. Otherwise, dress does run small, but is a great and conservative look for a daytime party.

Festive Night Out
One of my favorite rentals to date! this dress was so amazing in person, I loved that it had a classic silhouette but with edgy details. The fit was great, did not have any sizing issues. Wore a lacy black bra, and went well with the open back, everyone thought it was part of the dress.

Elegant Dress for Night at the Met
Based on reviews, and limited sizes available, I decided to take a chance with the larger size. However, upon wearing it, it was definitely too big. Overall though I didnt mind, it fit the occasion, was elegant, and very warm (pretty thick material). Was nice to be able to wear regular undergarments and not have to worry about straps, etc. It was also too short for heels btw (and I'm 5'7), so just bear the length in mind with regards to the type of heel you intend to wear. Was a good look for a wintry NY evening at the Met!

New Year's Eve Wedding
Paired with the Marchesa Kiki dress - LOVED these earrings. They are a very sturdy clip on, however they are heavy! By the end of the night, had to take them off. I got so many compliments on the earrings, it paired beautifully with the black dress and top knot up do. A stunning color.

New Year's Eve Wedding
The dress is really fun and flirty, loved it! Thankfully a friend had a steamer, because the dress came very flattened. As other reviewers commented, the dress is really light and dainty. The tulle itself is very light and more crepe-like, so it doesn't necessarily flare outwards like it appears in the model photos. With some steaming I was able to get it to look more voluminous. Fit wise, it did feel tight in the bodice, but overall I did think it was true to size.

Great dress for a bday party!
I usually wear a size 8, but as that wasn't available, picked up the 6 and 10. Since it's a looser shift dress, the 6 fit well enough, although it was quite short on me (I'm 5'7). The 8 probably would have been best, and the 10 was just way too boxy. Did not experience underarm scratching from the sequins at all - in fact I found the dress to be very comfortable and easy to move around in. I love the black eyelash on a white backdrop - with a bright lipstick you can't go wrong!

Fun dress for a fun party
This dress was a fun one to wear, cute back detail, hugs every curve. Agree with other reviewers that the midsection bunches up a little weird the way that the material is sewn together there, and you should definitely be careful as it is low up top. The material is like a wrinkly taffeta, so it's quite light, but wrinkles very easily. Had to steam it before wearing because it had wrinkled up during transport. But otherwise, none of that really bothered me, you can see what you're getting from the photos. I opted to wear sticky bra, but could have also worn a strapless.

Warm summer night wedding, great fun with great friends!
Agree with some other reviews that the dress may not be the best choice for more well endowed ladies. The cut out is quite high, so if you're not careful, the bottom of your bra might peek through. I also just made sure to pull the skirt portion up pretty high as to keep the gap of the cut out being too large. The dress also wrinkles quite easily so I had to steam it before wearing it, and it still wrinkled in certain spots again. Otherwise I loved the dress, the frills, the colors, how festive it looked. Also looks great with a tan :)

A fun summer movie premiere event in Hollywood
As many of the reviews say, it is quite short. The dress did fit a little tighter on the hips, but overall fit great. I did wish that the dress was pressed more at the hem, because at times it looked kind of bubbly. From the pictures the dress looks a little more structured, but the material is actually quite soft and stretchy. Because of this, the dress did tend to ride up, so it was a little annoying to have to keep adjusting and making sure nothing was flashing whenever I walked around. I felt the dress fit true to size, however I went with the larger size (10) because it did feel slightly longer.

Beautiful color, felt great in the dress
Based on the reviews ended up only ordering the size 10, and it fit perfectly. It is extremely form fitting, and I did need to readjust the bottom each time I sat down/up. A minor annoyance considering how great the dress looked overall. Would definitely recommend doing a dry run with various undergarments because the dress will show everything. Dress zips all the way up in the back, so you might need some help getting in and out as well! A lovely choice for a spring wedding, a very vibrant color and an elegant knee-length dress.

A Birthday Extravaganza
As most of the reviews reveal, the dress is wearable without a bra and is longer in person than shown on the model. I do think that it runs slightly large, but is mostly true to size. I did fit into the size 6, but the cleavage was over the top for me, so I ended up wearing the 8. The pockets also a major plus, and overall a very lovely, fun party dress!

Seeing a dear friend wed, a very emotional evening!
I normally wear a size 8, however that wasn't available for the event I was renting for. And based on the reviews, I figured I would be fine with a 10. It actually was too big on me throughout. The slight advantage of that is that as the dress has no stretch, it was nice to have some extra space for things like getting in and out of the car. The dress is quite beautiful, got many compliments, but the make of the dress is just a little too restricting. I imagine that the 8 would have fit and looked way better, but I definitely would have been uncomfortable due to the non stretch fabric. I think a slit in the back would have made a huge difference in wearability. I also wonder if the dress had been stretched out over time because it pooched very oddly in the stomach area. Not very flattering but probably something only I noticed anyway.

RTR made everything SO easy. The two sizes, double stick tape, easy instructions - highly recommend!
I typically wear a size 8, but based on all the reviews got one size smaller and that ended up being the right fit for me. Got so many compliments on the dress, and I couldn't rave enough about how easy and great it was to rent this dress from this website. Will definitely be renting more for other occasions!
