Pretty in Pink
I have ordered quite a few dresses from RTR, but this was my first floor length gown to rent. I was so disappointed when I got the dress bc it was more than a little short in the front. My ankles were practically showing. The under slip was WAY longer than the sequin overlay. Not a good look. The 0R was worse than the 0L. I thought maybe I should just let the dresses hang up for a while and the sequin part would fall. Yea, did not really help. I ended up safety pinning the front of the 0L dress so the slip wouldn't show in the front. The dress fit fine everywhere else and the neck didn't scratch, but this was my least pleasant experience so far with this site. The dress is a blush/pink color.

Not Like the Rest
Okay, so this dress is confusing when trying to put it on at first. Definitely look at the model and lay it out beforehand. If it's not right, something is inside out. Just keep flipping. The fabric was thick and the pattern was unique. Unfortunately the little belly part didn't show on me bc I have a small torso, but I was able to wear a bra, without it showing in the back.

Great Color
Great color and great fit. I was a little self conscious of my boobs, but they weren't overtly provocative, but definitely sexy. Loved the pockets. Longer than I thought, but with heels looked great.

Something more than a LBD
I chose not to wear a bra with this because the top is cut low and I didn't want to spill out of the dress. A little fashion tape made me feel more secure, but I had no problems. The dress hit mid thigh on me. Super cute as a throw on LBD to set you apart. I turned heads all night.

Where did you get it?
I wore this for my bday night out with a cream belt. For me, belting was a must as the romper does not offer much shape. It wasn't itchy and the sequins did not catch onto other things. It was cute and festive.

Goddess for sure
The foiling on mine was a little off near the boobs. A little folding and fashion tape solved that. I wore this dress outside on a hot, humid day and it held up well. I was not able to wear it uncrossed as some girls pictured have, but it was still very beautiful.

Tons of compliments!
The zipper on this dress is what makes it tricky to get on by yourself. I had to lay on my bed, suck in, and have my mom zip me in. But after that, it looked absolutely fabulous and I had no problems after. I did use some fashion tape around my boobs just bc it was a day wedding in a church. Overall, no problems, great dress, got compliments all evening!
