Felt like a princess and fun to dance in!
The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is the level of difficult in ironing and getting this dress on. Do not rent this dress if you are bad at ironing or getting ready by yourself. Due to shipping, it arrived terribly wrinkled. I attempted to steam out the wrinkles but it required pressing. I highly recommend pressing the pleats at the top or it looks frumpy. That process took about an hour, including the time wasted steaming. It took three people to get me into this thing: mom to zip it up (because of the embroidery and skirt, it got stuck in a few places), dad to bend the hook back into place (whomever wore it last may have been too large for the size 2), and little brother to actually clasp the thing (smaller hands). After the ordeal of getting it on, I loved it. This dress fit like a glove and I felt like a princess all night. The detailed embroidery is absolutely stunning, especially the gold thread. The tulle layer gives it an extra oomph and is super fun to twirl in on the dance floor.

Felt very feminine and confident in this dress
The best part of this dress is the satin/silk interior, it feels amazing on. The dress also has pockets! I got compliments on this dress all night. Because of the thick material and embroidery, it did not require a bra. Be warned, you will need to steam or iron this dress before wearing, it doesn't travel well.

Bright color and light fabric was great for the Texas heat
This dress was gorgeous. Great material and the colors really popped. Very comfortable to wear. I was up and down working on IT equipment in this dress that evening and was able to move with ease. It was 100 degrees outside and I was very comfortable in the breathable material. Would definitely rent again.

Rainbow Vina Dress

Very large in the chest
I think this dress has been worn a lot by larger busted women. It was gapping open in the front and my bra showed a lot during the night. Unfortunately, something happened with the 2L and RTR could not send it to me, so I was forced to wear the 4L. Length was great, material felt great. I was mainly disappointed that I was unable to get the size I needed and had no other options with the "backups" they sent. I would recommend sizing down as I usually wear a 4 but this was HUGE in the bust.
