So much fun!
This dress was so much fun to wear! I wore some tassled earrings and had so much fun on the dance floor shaking everything! Got lots of compliments and the dress was very comfortable and fit true to size.

Pop of pink!
The hot pink bottom and bow in the back gave the dress the perfect pop! I am normally a 6 (sometimes 4 or 8 depending on how fitted or loose the hip section is) and the 6 fit great, I could have probably worn a 4 if I had to. The only con was the puckering at the bust - the top part wasn't loose on me or anything but the fabric just stuck out at the side some and was a little unflattering on my arms. Still love this dress!

Felt very glamorous!
I rented my usual size 6 and this fit well. As reviewers have noted, it is purple, not fuchsia at all. It is a heavy dress, a little hot for a summer event, but I think the heaviness helps it conform to your body in a flattering way. I was a little self conscious wearing a fitted dress (really shows off curves!) but I got a lot of compliments! Last thing I would note is that it is short - I am 5'6" and rented the regular and I wore flats and it barely skimmed the ground (although there is a fun bit of a train in the back! Not dramatic but adds some great flair).

Pretty dress
I am normally a 4 or 6 in Kate Spade, a solid 6 in other brands, but the 6 was a little snug (not to the point that I wanted to size up I was just surprised at the fit). The colors are pretty and it certainly highlights the waist but it didn't really have a 'wow' factor for me. Still a great dress though!

Fun birthday dress
As other reviewers noted, this runs pretty tight in the hips! I'm normally a 6 or 4 but sized up to 8. It was also quite short, it was fine to wear but I felt a little self-conscious at times. That said it was a great dress! Beautiful color that really makes a statement with a wide range of jewelry options. Despite it running small and short I still thought it was flattering on my curvy frame.

LOVE this dress!
Love this dress, wish I owned it! Colors are fun and pretty without being too much, the shape is so flattering, and the straps show just enough shoulder to be sexy and classy. Perfect!

LOVE this dress!
I can't resist a cute summery dress in such a gorgeous pink! Adjustable straps made covering my chest as much as I wanted easy, this was so flattering coming in at the waist and breezy everywhere else. Wish I owned it!

Beautiful fabric
RTR picked and sent me this dress when my backup was damaged (great customer service as always!), so this wasn't my usual size, but I wound up liking it more than my main choice. It is a beautiful beaded fabric but the fit is kind of strange - the 4 they sent me was a little tight in the chest and shoulders but very loose in the waist. I think it would have had more of a wow factor if I could have nipped it in the waist some.

Fun party dress!
Other reviewers are right in that it runs tight in the hips and waist, did not fit like a shift at all. It is still really cute and flattering, the fabric has some stretch. The sequins were a little tattered in some places but nothing problematic. Fun to wear something a little more va-va-voom than my usual style!

Absolutely stunning
This dress is gorgeous! I got compliments all night and it photographs beautifully. It runs a little big - I'm a 6/8 and the 6 was a tad loose I'd say. It is a bit long - I am 5'6" and the regular length was a little long with my 3ish inch heels. Definitely a wonderful dress to feel beautiful and glamorous!

Great dress!
I love this dress! It is a gorgeous shimmery lace fabric, and the fit is so flattering. It is a true wrap dress - there is a tie on the inside under the button, so it adjusts to fit your waist perfectly. It does run a little big, the medium was a bit baggy in the bust (even though I'm a C) but the small felt too short for me. This is definitely a sexy dress, perfect for a party but I wouldn't feel comfortable wearing it at anything more conservative. Love it!

Great colors
This was my backup dress and I ended up wearing it. The colors are beautiful and it accentuates the waist nicely. As some other reviewers said, the arms fit a little oddly, I wouldn't want to wear it if I were dancing and moving them around a lot. Still a wonderful dress!

Couldn't wear it
The dress might've been lovely if not for its condition - really was quite tattered on the bottom, I guess this has been very popular. I am 5'5"-5'6" and it was also very short, but I probably wouldn't have minded if I hadn't needed to wear it to a church. It was mostly the hem's tears that made it unworkable for me.

"Best you've ever looked"
I definitely don't normally wear dresses this fitted but I felt very comfortable and sexy in this one. I am an 8 in most dresses and wore the M in this, but the S also fit (the looser M was slightly more flattering in the stomach). I did not have a problem with the neck strap as some have, both sizes fit comfortable there (but I also have a fairly full bust). Great dress!

Great dress!
Love this dress, got lots of compliments and felt great. I'm 5'6" and as others have said it is short, but I felt comfortable without tights (although I couldn't really bend over) - I think the short length balanced out the long sleeves nicely though. Dress was a beautiful dark greyish/purple, wore it with grey suede pumps and pink accessories, felt very feminine.

Great dress!
Rented it for a semi-formal gala and I loved it. As other reviewers noted, the color is a little darker than the picture, but I liked it better in person. The boning was very flattering and created a nice little waist. The sweetheart neckline also showed a nice little bit of cleavage. Fit true to size and was so comfortable and flattering!
