Beautiful but bust didn’t work
I thought this would be great bc lots of other reviews said that the dress is not for small chests, but I guess you need Goldilocks boobs, not too big not too small. Everywhere fit except the bust. I was SPILLING out. Couldn’t wear it..

Straps and bust too big, but fit everywhere else
Nice color for a spring or summer event - I had rented the M and it was way too tight on my bust. The L was too big, there was gapping and sagging.

Very tight rib cage, beautiful blue
By the end of the night I couldn’t breathe it was so tight in the center and zero give. I had also sized up - but the color was fun.

Lightweight, flattering, flowy and so comfortable!
I wore this to my baby shower in August and it was perfect! The skirt was roomy enough to accommodate my belly without being too tight. I loved the unique pattern and got so many compliments. Thank goodness it was so light and flowy since it was a very hot day! Wish I owned this - such a great rental!

Gorgeous lace details and rich color!
I loved this dress - really beautiful and the backless straps were so lovely! I got so many compliments during the wedding as well as from pictures afterwards! The distance between the lining and the lace overlay was a little big - also there was a kind of yucky body odor smell on the dress - thankfully I could get perfume to cover it. Overall, it was a gorgeous dress!

nice length and cleavage but very awkward fit
I really wanted to like this one - it looked like the shape would be very flattering, but on me, it really looked terrible. The waist was loose and then the dress tightened around my hips making me look much larger and top heavy than I am. The length was good though - I had the 6R and it hit a the perfect spot for my 5'8" frame. Had to send this one back though. I liked the cleavage and the v in the back, but the midsection was not flattering.

Too short- couldn't wear.
The dress might have been nice it has a deep V, but not too revealing or risqué. The fabric is loose from the bust down. Elegant and classic however i am 5'7" and this was way too short - i only have heels with me, but even if I'd had flats i would have been unable to wear the dress because of the short hemline. - RTR charged me their fee to overnight this one because the one I'd originally rented had a really awkward fit. The length of the original long dress was a 6R as well and was the correct length. I wish i had been asked about the length ordering when selecting this dress.

Beautiful details!
This was a great dress! I rented for my sister's rehearsal dinner - the waist was a little loose for me, and the neckline and armholes were a little snug. But overall the dress was gorgeous! Beautiful details and everyone complimented me on the dress. Loved that it was flexible enough to be casual or more dressy! The mesh and the crosshatch patterns were really cool and it was such a comfortable dress.

Heavy and fuller skirt, but lots of compliments!
Wore this to a wedding for a cousin-in-law and so many of my family members complimented me on the dress and asked me where I'd gotten it! The skirt was a little long even though i'm 5/8" and it was a little heavy but overall nice.

Great color and shape, but overworn
I really wanted to like this dress. The color is beautiful and the details were once, I imagine, incredible. But this dress has been very very worn. The stitching is frayed and pilling. I couldn't wear it to the wedding because it almost looked dirty because of how tired it looked. But I love this shape and would definitely rent this dress again if a less worn item were available.

Lots of cleavage! But really beautiful!
This was my second time renting this dress - I had this one sent as a backup after my top choice wasn't available and the replacement and other style i had rented both did not work for me. I love cleavage, but only at choice events. I felt a little self conscious with the neckline being so low, but I didn't feel any fear of falling out. I do have broader shoulders so that may have helped the sleeves to stay put. All in all, a great dress, but be prepared for boobage!

Lovely detail, quite long though
I loved the look of this dress - and did wear it for my rehearsal dinner, but it was a little too long for me (which I NEVER say) I am 5'8" and don't like to wear dresses shorter than mid thigh. I felt as though the length wasn't super flattering when paired with the horizontal stripes. I usually wear a 6 and I went with the 4 because it fit better in the waist - but was pretty tight around my armpits and there was some rubbing at the end of the night. It was ok- but I probably wouldn't rent again.

Fun and cute! Loved the snug bodice!
The dress is definitely low cut, which I enjoyed and was prepared for, but the bubble skirt was a little shorter than I had wanted. I know I'm not short at 5'8" and my legs are not twigs so this is often a problem, but I felt a little conspicuous with a low neckline and a shorter hemline. The bubble-ness of the dress also led the dress to ride up when sitting. The straps also didn't lay exactly flat, which wasn't the best, but my friends said they couldn't really tell. To sum up, this wasn't my favorite dress I've rented, but it was nice, the bodice was snug and made my waist look tiny! It did the job and was fun to dance in and the pattern was a nice sparkly fabric.

BEAUTIFUL fabric - almost every person I spoke to complimented me! LOVE
The picture shows how much the dress rode up on me when sitting - when standing, the dress was a perfect length for me - a little above the knee. Absolutely beautiful detail on the dress - I received glowing compliments from almost every single person at the event. The lining is nice and thick so you can really wear any kind of undergarments.

Gorgeous Color - Much brighter! Felt so elegant! COMPLIMENTS!!
Everyone loved this dress! The color specifically stood out remarkably. It shows up much shimmerier (not a word) and brighter than the picture shows (on the model or on me) and the fabric was beautiful. It definitely needs a statement necklace or a belt to complete the outfit. I tried both and decided on the necklace even though the belt looked great too. Would have loved a lower neckline, but that's just me - it felt a little squished and high for my taste, but that's just style talking, as well as 34D breasts. All in all, lovely, and would definitely rent again.

This was for a formal post-wedding brunch! I LOVED this dress!
I definitely had to size up because other reviewers thankfully said the dress ran small - I would not have fit into my normal 6! Such gorgeous detail - the black roses are almost like a lace overlay/ embroidery. It was stunning and so comfortable. Flattering and conservative which was just what I needed. The zipper was a little tough to maneuver in the back, but if you have a trusty extra pair of hands, you'll be fine. Would CERTAINLY rent this one again. Wish I could buy it, but sadly do not have a spare $1400 to flop around with.

Lovely, amazing fabric, weird pockets.
Fit was awesome - nice and tight but great fabric that hides flaws. Never actually wore it, but it was beautiful. Would have liked it SO much better without the pockets in the front. They pop out when you move making you look like you have a belly.
