Short waisted
Ordered the medium and the large, both fit well enough. If these have been the only dresses I rented this go around, I probably would have worn one and it would've been just fine. The waist just hit below my bust and around my ribs, which wasn't the look I was hoping for. I ended up wearing the other dress.

Fit perfectly. Easy to wear. Nice fabric and solid construction.
I wore this braless and it fit securely enough that I was comfortable all night. The skirt is snug all the way down to the knees -- consider if you'll be able to use the bathroom before you end up in a bind. Sneaking the skirt up was a bit of a trick. In general, great dress.

Great dress for a summer wedding
Dress was comfortable, fit as expected. I chose not to wear a bra, as the dress was tight enough that I didn't need to. The angle of the arm holes did causing some problems for side boob/armpit fat. I think it was fine most of the time, but in a couple of pictures I wished I had stood differently.

Easy to wear and flattering
This dress was comfortable and it looked nice on. I'd recently gained some weight, so I wasn't sure what size I'd be. I happily fit into the smaller of the sizes that I ordered.

Relaxed and not fitted.
This dress was so comfortable. The bra situation was a little tricky, but I worked it out. This was my backup dress, and since both dresses worked, it became my rehearsal dinner dress! Love this. Will likely rent again.

So.many.compliments
Wore this to a wedding. I was so pleased with the weight of the fabric. It gave the dress some real control over my mom-lumps. I was comfortable in this dress all night.

Easy to wear, tons of compliments
This dress runs small, but I knew that bc my sister had rented it for a wedding earlier this summer. Soooo many compliments on this dress. The straps are adjustable, making it so easy to fit a variety of sizes/shapes on top. I used a stick on bra, but could easily have gone braless. Easy to dance in and easy to stand/sit.

This dress was as amazing as I was hoping it would be!
The dress fit as expected. I hover between a 12/14. I could get them both on. Felt like the larger size looked a little better. I wore stick on bra cups that clasp in the middle. Looked amazing. Perfect dress for the evening. Very happy. Would rent again.

Beautiful, easy to wear
Got so many compliments on this dress. Would rent again. Very comfortable. The 12 and 14 both fit, the drape was better with the 14, so I opted up. I chose to wear a bra, but I wouldn't have had to. Great dress.

Lack of structure to the fabric
The dress fit as I hoped. I'm usually between a 12/14, the 12 fit just fine. The material was just not concealing at all. Would have been light weight for a warm day, but I opted for my other dress.

Easy to wear.
This dress looked amazing on my sister last month, so I rented it as my backup. It would totally have worked. I ended up wearing my first choice dress. This dress would look better with a bigger bust. I felt like there was a little armpit gaping. Comfortable. Any bra works. Has pockets.

Not flattering on a larger size person
The dress fit just fine, but it looked shapeless and unflattering. Disappointing.

Long shouldered dress
The dress was pretty and fit well from the bust down, but the straps were too long and things ended up too saggy. If you have tall shoulders, it might work.

Very happy with this comfortable dress.
I wore the 12, which I thought was surprising. There was even room to spare, but that made it so comfortable not having to feel like I was sucking in all night. The neck is a halter, which I worry about because that can be a big ask when you have DDs to hold up, but the support worked with a strapless bra. I had to shimmy the back of the bra down to be hidden in back, but it worked. The class at the neck was not strong, it gave out after less than an hour of wearing and I did a quick fix with a sewing kit from the hotel front desk and a safety pin for good measure. I'd recommend starting with a safety pin, to be safe. Having the halter top come unclasped during the cocktail hour was a little unsettling, though the dress didn't drop when it came unclasped -- thankfully.

12 to 14 W size gap is tough
The size gap between 12 and 14W is tough for me. If you're between these sizes, it's likely that neither will work. This is the second time this happened to me. RTR did a great job of trying to solve it, but I ended up wearing something from my closet for this wedding.

Nice dress
I ordered this as my backup, and it doesn't come as large as I would have liked, so I crossed my fingers and ordered the 12. If I was 10# smaller it would have been great. You definitely need a strapless bra.

Size gap between 12 and 14
Dress arrived looking as expected. The size 12 was just a bit too small, and the 14 was much too large. It may be the jump from ladies to women's sizing, but neither worked for me in the end. RTR did a refund for credit for me, so I'm still happy enough with the experience, just a warning if you're between these sizes.

Beautiful dress
Beautiful dress. Not super forgiving of "lumps" and "bumps" because of the stretch of the material. Perhaps if I'd been even just 5 pounds lighter it would have been better.
