Fun color, but runs very small!
This dress was fun for a summer wedding. The color is definitely eye catching and at attention getter. The cut of the dress is also very form-fitting and the slit makes it easy to walk around. However, I am usually a 2/4 and the 6 barely fit me. So, size up! It was very fitted in the waist/hip area. I could not even get the size 4 over my butt/hips and my shape is pretty straight and narrow. I wore Spanx and a strapless bra under the size 6 and you could even see the lines of the Spanx and bra through the dress, so that is something to think about as well. I was comfortable all evening in the dress, and it was easy to move around and dance in.

Cute but not as special as others I have worn
The dress was a dull navy color, maybe from too many cleanings? The ruffle accent on the top was my favorite part. It provided some visual interest in an otherwise plain dress. The top straps do not adjust, so mine were baggy and did not really hold the dress up. I wore a strapless bra underneath, no problems. The dress was a little big in the bust, and even though the skirt but it was very baggy in the waist/hips, but my body is more straight. This would look great on my curvier girls! The slit was at the knee, and it was an easy dress to dance in. It was comfortable all night and I got a lot of compliments. However, compared to other shower-stopper dresses I have rented, this dress was just nice. Maybe the 2 would have fit better?

Sexy and stunning
This is a showstopper dress. The slit is very high(upper thigh) and makes sitting in church or the reception difficult as the slit causes the dress to be open when you sit. However, the back and top are pretty covered so it balances out. The color is a vibrant yellow. It does run big, I could have used a 2. It fell to mid-calf, easy to dance in! Many compliments, even from mid-strangers. Would rent again!

Love everything about it!
This dress is super easy to wear. I found it comfortable and wore a regular t-strap bra underneath. The detailing on the dress is beautiful and the colors perfect for fall. I wore nude shoes and a black jacket over it. I was comfortable all night and it is easy to dance. For fit, I do not have a large bust or booty, which worked perfectly for this dress. There is not a lot of stretch to the lining, so curvy women many want to size up. The lining hits about lower-mid thigh, and it does inch up, so be careful on that. I would definitely rent again. I got a million compliments.

I want to buy this dress!
This is just a lovely dress that is so comfortable to wear and flattering! I got a million compliments at a bridal shower. I wore the XS as the S was too long (5'2). I will note the slip is short, mid-thigh, and attached to the dress so you cannot adjust the waistband of the dress without pulling up the slip. It is not a big deal though. The off-the-shoulder never slipped and was very comfortable. The dress is light, airy and the colors are a beauitiful, muted floral pattern. I kept my hair up and jewelry minimal to let the dress shine. My mother wants me to buy this one, and I think I will!

Lovely hostess dress!
I rented this to host my sister's baby shower. It was very comfortable and the print is really lovely. I have small hips/booty, so I did not have any issues with the slip that the other women did. The skirt does flip open a little if you sit a certain way, but I paid no more attention to it than any other dress I wear, so it was a non-issue for me. The dress is easy to wear, comfortable and appropriate for many occasions!

Loved the color and easy to wear!
The color of this dress is more jade than true green. I really stood out in a sea of black and navy at a fall wedding! The dress is very comfortable, both the 4 and 6 fit, but I felt it was a little tight in the shoulders and would be hard to dance in. The 6 was a little loose, but nothing major. I got many compliments, felt sexy but covered! Easy to dance in, easy to wear and no worries about mishaps! Danced all night.

Beautiful, easy to wear!
The dress was super cute with pockets! The length is above the knee. The sleeves are tight in the shoulders so if you are even somewhat broad shouldered, size up! The color was gorgeous and I got many compliments. The skirt is fuller with a nice shape.

Great dress! Runs large in bust.
This is a great dress for a wedding, very comfortable material, breathable and easy to dance in. The dress is well-lined and well-made. The fabric does stretch. The skirt and hip run true to size, if not a tad small, but the bust runs large. I used safety pins and fashion tape, but was still pulling the dress up while dancing. The color was lovely for a fall event, and I got a lot of compliments on the dress! The bow is sewn into the dress as part of the structure, so you do not need to tie it or worry about it. I would recommend this!

Pretty, just not my favorite rental ever.
This dress was flattering, comfortable and vibrant in person. It was easy to dance in, and I got many compliments on the style and color. So, why do I feel ehh about it?? I cannot put my finger on it, honestly. I have LOVED all my other rentals (10+ at this point). This one, I merely liked. I ordered the 2 and the 4. I ended up wearing the 2. If you have any hips, you will need to size up. I do not, and it was a tad snug. The lace embroidery was lovely in person, the color eye-catching. It was a perfect wedding-guest dress.

My favorite RTR yet!
My favorite rental so far! Sexy yet completely covered. The color is gorgeous! The arms are somewhat tight as others have mentioned, but it really only restricts you from raising your arms straight up. I had very little issues with the skirt, other than I made sure to shake it down when I stood up. I got so many compliments on the color, the fabric, and so many asked me where I got it. This was a statement dress that was perfect for a November wedding! I have a larger chest, and this was so easy to wear a regular bra with and you did not have to worry about cleavage. However, it still showed your shape and your legs nicely. I cannot recommend this dress enough!

Perfect bridal shower dress!
I did not rent this for my sister's bridal shower, but I ended up with this dress after the dress I had rented was damaged by the prior renter. RTR was so helpful and kind when the stylist pick they sent me in place of the dress that was damaged did not work at all. They overnighted this dress in both sizes to me. I could not be happier with what could have been a disastrous situation. The waistline is tight, as others have noted. The size 6 fit in the waist comfortable, but it was too large in the chest/shoulders. The size 4 was tight in the waist, but fit perfectly everywhere else. This dress is perfect for larger chested ladies. I am a size 32DD normally, and am currently breastfeeding....so I have cleavage to spare. This dress allowed me to wear a normal bra, and showed some cleavage but I felt covered and supported. Also - the cut of this dress is super flattering. The belt is at your ribs, and then it flares out nicely, hiding any belly/baby bump you may want to. I felt comfortable, super lady-like, and got SO MANY compliments on this dress. Everyone asked me where I got it.

Perfect for a bridal shower!
This was my 2nd attempt at renting this dress, I liked it so much!! I wore it for my sister-in-law's bridal shower (I am a bridesmaid). The size 2 zipped and fit perfectly on top. The bottom was just a little snug. This is NEVER a problem for me, so if you have any sort of butt or hips, definitely size up! Since I would be running around co-hosting the shower, I opted to wear the 4, which was perfect in the hips but a tad too big on top. No one noticed. The pattern is super cute, the black belt is flattering and the cut/style of this dress shows your figure nicely. I had a baby last year, and this cut of this dress showed that I had lost the baby weight while also hiding some imperfections due to the placement of the belt. I paired it with black espadrille wedges and gold jewelry. I would recommend this dress for a daytime event! ETA: This is my first review from last year. I rented this dress in a 4 and a 6 for my sister's bridal shower. I received an email from RTR that the 6 had been damaged beyond repair by the previous renter. I got the 4 anyways - and it was just too tight. I could zip it and everything, but it was definitely very tight through the hips, which NEVER happens to me. The 6 would have been perfect :(. The fabric, pattern and style of the dress are lovely. So classy, would have been great to wear it. I am going to rent this dress again for my son's christening and get the 6 this time, hopefully! RTR went above and beyond to fix this for me when the 4 didnt work, and shipped me a new dress overnight. Thanks RTR!

Beautiful color and easy to wear
I rented this for a wedding. The dress definitely runs a bit big if you are small through the hips, i had plenty of room. I also had plenty of room in the bust, which makes this a great dress for any larger-chested lady as you can wear any bra underneath it. I am also a new mom, I had a baby 4 months ago, and the cut of this dress was perfect! The dress flares out after fitting through the rib cage. It hides anything you may feel self-conscious about, but it is so comfortable. The zipper on my dress was tough to get on and off, not going to lie. However, the lace was in beautiful shape, the color was elegant but stood out, and I got a lot of compliments. Would definitely recommend!

Comfy and beautiful!
I was 8 weeks postpartum when I had to attend a wedding, and this dress looked and felt great! It also was easy to breastfeed in. I felt pretty and did not feel stuffed into the dress at all. The belt is flattering without being too tight. The print and the one-shoulder really makes this dress stand out and I got many compliments!

Cute but very short!
I wore this for my sister's bachelorette party, and I fit right in with the young girls! I had a baby 4 months ago, so I wanted something that would allow me to feel covered up top due to enormous breastfeeding cleavage, but still feel cute and pretty. Even better- I felt sexy in this dress! The top allows room for anyone's bust size and to wear a normal bra (very important in my current 32F state). The four fit fine in the waist and bust, but I went with the 6 because this dress is SHORT in the skirt. I am a short person, but I felt this barely covered the assets in the four, particularly in the back. It made me nervous going up stairs or getting up from a table. Other people did mention this, but I ignored them since I never have issues with things being too short. However - since the dress is nicely accented at the waist and doesn't show off too much cleavage- why not show a little leg? Loved the color, the nice, light fabric and the gold accents. I would definitely recommend this dress for a party, but NOT for a wedding or elegant affair (too short!)

Great dress! So many compliments!
Hello ladies, this dress is just beautiful!! the color is a big darker in person, more a vibrant marigold than true yellow. I am large-chested - 32 DD and I was IN this dress. It did not budge, I never pulled it up and my cleavage was fully contained without a strapless bra. The inner corset does a great job. If you have ANY hips or a butt, which I do not, you will need to size up. The skirt on me fit fine, but just barely and I always have extra room and folds of material in that section. I usually wear a 2/4 but ordered the 4/6 based on other reviews. I ordered up due to concerns about my chest fitting, but the 4 was great, I could breathe, dance, move around, etc. no problems. I did wear a nude slip underneath, you do need one. I do not like VPLs or people seeing my underroos! The skirt hit right at my knee, but the 2nd layer hits about 1-2 inches up, so you get a nice view of your legs. The color is gorgeous, the material is flowy and light. I received soooo many compliments all night, from the photographer to strangers, etc. Everyone commented on the dress. I paired it with nude heels, a turquoise clutch and necklace and I had mystery bling earrings. I would totally recommend this dress!
