My Favorite RTR Dress I've Rented!
This dress is gorgeous! I wore it on a date night to dinner and a symphony concert. The print is beautiful and the material is nice and thick with a little stretch. It was comfortable sitting in for a long period of time. I received so many compliments (at the bar, in the bathroom!). It is my favorite dress I've rented with RTR and I will definitely rent again. So sad to send it back!

Runs small
In contrast to many other RTR reviews on this dress, I thought this style ran small. I rented it for my rehearsal dinner and it was just a little too tight in the hips for the occasion. I am not a hippy girl so I was surprised how slim it was (dresses usually fit big in the hips for me). You definitely need a backless bra for this style...I had a backless adhesive bra which would have worked if I had worn it.

Did not fit like I expected...
I was thinking this dress was meant to fit a little loose (more like a shift style dress), but really it was very form-fitting. The size 12 ( my true RTR size) fit exactly like the size 14 ( odd, but I've not had luck with fit with any Slate & Willow style). There were also some issues with the top layer having snags and strings hanging down. This just may be the nature of this dress because the entire top layer is stitched sequins into metallic lace. The dress is very pretty but just didn't work for me.

Great dress to dance in
I love this dress! The skirt pattern and shape are really fun and I received tons of compliments. This dress fits true to size and was very comfortable all night (sitting/standing/dancing). The top half is stretchy, the waist is very fitted and the skirt is full and not restricting. The back dips pretty low so I wore the bodysuit bra that I wore under my wedding dress. A regular bra would probably not work.

It's just not right...
I rented this dress as a replacement dress for my rehearsal dinner. The dress fits true to size but it's bottom half is very sheer. It reminded me of a dance recital costume. The top half has more fabric so it's not sheer, but the draping is very odd. I would think it would fit better on a very tall, very slim person. Because of the sheerness, spanx are a must.

Perfect for my bridal shower!
I wore this dress to my bridal shower and received many compliments. The print is gorgeous! The fabric is very thick but there is no stretch to it making it a little difficult to move around while sitting.
