Great Dress for Summer!
I rented this for my best friend's summer bridal shower. The color in the picture looks more coral than what it actually is; a bright pink. It's not neon pink or anything ridiculous, its just much brighter than the color actually shows on the website. I rented sizes 8 and 12 as the 10 which I would normally wear was out of stock for the weekend I needed it. I'm 5'2", about 150-155 pounds and wear a 36C and the 8 actually fit much better than the 12. It was a little tight in the belly area, but the size 8 looked much better than the 12 which just gave me a square, boxy figure when I put it on. You don't need a necklace with this dress as the top design in gold is perfect and enough flair. I wore tall, tan espadrille sandals with this and it worked perfectly. I'm very happy with my rental and would consider renting it again for another summer event.

Not for me.
Unfortunately, I did not end up wearing this dress. I'm 5'2" and the sleeves came almost to my wrists (unlike as shown in the picture). The length of it also was below my knees making me look old and like I was attending a funeral. I was really excited for this dress as well since I rented it for my birthday dinner with my boyfriend. The dress was also weird in that the cutout portion shifted when I moved so I was constantly pulling the dress down to readjust it. Overall, it just wasn't a dress for me.

Love the color and the pockets!
This dress fit me perfectly and as a bigger girl, I felt absolutely fabulous in it. The bust was not tight at all (I'm a 36C) and the waist hugged me in all the right ways. The pockets are an added bonus to this dress. I got lots of compliments all night long and wish I had longer than 6 hours to wear the dress! The color is actually a little darker than it appears in the picture and is definitely a stand out. I would recommend a necklace like the model is wearing. I didn't have one and looking back on pictures, that is the one thing I wish I did have to complete the look. A simple necklace isn't enough.

This dress is absolutely FABULOUS!
This fit like a glove and I fell in love with this dress! I wish I owned it because I only wore it for a few hours. It hugs in all the right places and gives both bigger and smaller girls the body they are looking for. I wore an adhesive, strapless, backless bra with this dress because I'm a 36C and the top was a little bigger than that. I never felt uncomfortable though or like I was falling out; the bra made it fit just right. The bottom half of the dress gave me the curves I have always dreamed of having. I'm 5'2" and the length was right above my knees; much closer than what is shown on the model. My boyfriend said it was the sexiest I have ever looked and I felt that way all night in this dress. Small, big, tall, short, whatever, I strongly recommend renting this dress. I personally cannot wait to be able to rent it again for another night out in Vegas!

Comfortable, Stylish, and Party Perfect
I wore this for a bachelorette party in Charleston, SC and it was super comfortable. I'm not the smallest girl by any means, so a typical short and tight LBD doesn't suit me well. This was the perfect option for that! It hid my flaws (bigger belly) and highlighted in all the right spots. The material feels like cotton so it was comfortable and didn't itch or annoy me in any way. The top is not revealing in any way and its great because you can wear a normal bra with the dress. I paired it with a simple, but larger statement silver necklace and earrings. I wore black wedges with the dress which kept me comfortable all night while walking around. The length is very appropriate too; I just had to remember to put the dress underneath my legs every time I stood up. Overall, I was very happy with the rental and would definitely rent again!

Fabulous for a summer bridal shower!
I absolutely loved this dress and got so many compliments on it. This was my first time renting from RTR and I could not be happier! I've turned about 10 more women onto using RTR as well after I told them about my experience. The dress fit perfectly. I was a little concerned after reading previous reviews about the tightness through the midsection, but I personally felt incredibly comfortable and I am by no means skinny. The bust was also more comfortable than I thought it was going to be. I didn't feel overexposed in any way even with a larger bust line in the dress. The best part was the pockets! How can anyone not love a dress with pockets?!
