Got engaged while wearing the dress!
Loved this dress! I wore it to a wedding and it was perfect for the occasion. I ordered a 12 (usual size) and a 14 and ended up wearing the 14 (didn't even try on the 12), so I'd definitely recommend ordering a size up because I feel it runs small. Because it wasn't super clingy, I didn't need to wear any shapewear, just pantyhose. Some of the reviews talked about not liking the underlayer beneath the lace because it stuck out longer than the lace; I didn't see any problem with it and hardly noticed it. I was worried about the lace sleeves being too tight because I have larger arms, but they weren't tight at all and I had no problem moving them around. One of the best parts of the dress is the zipper running up the length of the dress, which adds a little something fun to it. This was a lucky dress for me because later on that night (*not* at the wedding I was attending), my boyfriend proposed! I hope this dress is just as lucky for the next woman who rents it. :)

Feeling great (and being able to comfortably dance) at a wedding!
It would be great if this dress came in an XL, but because it doesn't, I ordered the L as the size I figured I'd wear and the M as a backup. If I didn't wear something underneath to "suck me in," there'd be a few lumps and bumps, so I'd definitely recommend wearing a Spanx-like garment underneath. Once I put that on underneath, the dress looked amazing. It was very form fitting, but not to the point where I couldn't breathe or move. A few of the comments I looked at said they thought the dress was too long, but I thought it was the perfect length (I'm about 5' 6"). I wore the dress to a wedding and it was perfect because I could dance in it without feeling like I had to constantly pull it down. If you're looking for a piece of jewelry to pair it with, I would recommend the necklace I had on. I had an RTR coupon, so they paired the dress with the Kendra Scott green stone bib necklace. I would have never paired this together on my own, but I took RTR's recommendation and I think it looked great! Overall, a great dress that I would definitely rent again!

I didn't wear the dress...
I ordered this dress to wear for a wedding the night before New Year's Eve or to a New Year's Eve party. When I got it, I was surprised by the weight of it...it was heavier than I thought it would be. It was also a lot longer than I thought it would be and was not flattering at all. As a result, I returned the dress immediately without wearing it.

Pretty dress, just a little too tight in the bust
I ordered this dress for a bridal shower, but unfortunately didn't get to wear it. The 10 was too tight in the bust, but fit everywhere else, and the 12 was too big. The skirt of the dress was very soft but did look a little faded.

I originally rented a dress that was a little too short when I received it and tried it on. I contacted RTR's customer service and they overnighted me a different dress, no questions asked. The dress ended up being almost perfect. A+ customer service from RTR!
I wore this dress to a wedding and it was perfect and so comfortable. I usually wear a 10 or 12 so I ordered both sizes. The 10 was way too tight and the 12 was a little big (not sure if this was because of the British sizing), but I used the fabric tape RTR sent with the dress and it worked out perfectly. I'm contemplating renting it again for another wedding I have this month!

Great LBD that I've rented multiple times!!
Absolutely loved this dress and got so many compliments on it. I wore it to an afternoon bridal shower, but it definitely was nice enough that I could have worn it to a wedding. I usually wear between a 10 and a 12, but I was happy to see that the 10 fit. Update: I ordered this dress again to wear to either a wedding the night before New Year's Eve or to a New Year's Eve party...and I loved it so much I ended up wearing it to both!
