Fantastic dress!
This may be one of my favorite dresses that I've rented from RTR. There was a little give to it. It is a great quality dress. I received compliments all night long. Wore this to a wedding in Vegas and danced the night away. Make sure you have some good spanks to hide any undies. A regular strapless bra worked wonders. I HIGHLY recommend this dress. Felt very sexy.

Size up!
I don't have a photo but wanted to write a review. There is NO give to this dress at all so make sure you size up. I ordered a M and couldn't even get it down over my hips.

Sexy dress, hot color!
First let me start off with this dress did fit a little large, so I would get your standard size and then one size down. Now for the good stuff. Its a great dress that shows a little leg. The color is fantastic. I was getting compliments all night. I was able to wear a standard bra, nothing fancy. I would recommend some spanks because the material is light and showed my undies no matter the thickness.

Short and Sparkly
This dress fit pretty well, but it is SUPER short. Perfect for Las Vegas, but anywhere else it would have been a little inappropriate haha. It was comfy and roomy elsewhere. Just be careful of the length.

This dress was a hit!
Loves this dress. It has so much flare as compared to all other dresses. My only flaw was I don't really like wearing a backless strapless Bc it gives you a weird boob shape. Also the cut of the skirt is a little further back than I would usually like. Also I'm allergic to nickel and the chain behind really did a number on me the following day. So with that in mind... Proceed with caution.

Color is beautiful
This was my back up dress for a black tie wedding, but I felt more comfortable in the first dress. The color is vibrant. Its a cotton like material so I was afraid I would get hot in it while dancing at the wedding. I was prepared to wear a bra with this as its a little lose on the chest.

Cool concept, but execution
When I was told that one of my back up sizes was not available, I figured it would be fun to get an "out of the box" dress for a black tie wedding. I was super disappointed when I received this. The cut of the dress hangs weird on the body. I would maybe recommend going a size down? Not sure if that would fix the issue.

Felt older than I really am
This dress looked gorgeous, but once I put it on I felt blah in it. The color is so pretty. Maybe I should have ordered a size smaller to really get the shape, but it did nothing for my curvy body.

Classic yet sexy
This dress may look pretty basic, but I felt everything but basic. This dress is sophisticated yet sexy. Fits pretty true to size. I didn't even have to wear a bra with is. I was comfortable and was able to dance all night long. I would recommend this for a black tie affair in a heart beat.

This dress fit like a glove.
I didn't end up wearing so I don't have a photo, but I did like the fit of this dress a lot. My only problem was I knew there would be a lot of dancing and wanted to be able to move around a lot and this dress fit so well that I wouldn't be able to be free. I didn't need a bra at all, but would have needed spanks because you could see the undies line. Sexy dress.

Great Color, but SIZE UP!`
I got so many compliments on this dress. I wore it to a wedding in Cabo. The color is great. Beautiful blue color. Listen to all the reviews and do yourself a favor by sizing up. I am a pretty true size 8, but I wore the 10. The size 8 fit, but i knew with the dancing, drinking, and eating would result in my being more comfortable in the 10. The material is pretty thick, but not too thick that made me hot in Mexico, but perfect for keeping everything in and held together. I HIGHLY recommend this dress- no spanx and no bra needed!

Love the color!
Rented this dress for an engagement party and received compliments all night on the color. It's right across the hips so ladies with a booty like me may want to invest in some spanks!

Super Confusing Top
I was really excited about this dress but when I took it off the hanger, then attempted to put it on it became a big tangled mess. If I couldn't figure out which way it went then, there was no way that I was going to be able to figure it out in Vegas. After about 20 minutes of trying to figure it out with my Mom's help I finally did get it on and it was cute, but it was a little large. I rented both a Medium and a Large, but neither really worked. Good Luck!

Fantastic dress! Great color!
This is the third time I have rented a BM dress and the second time that I have worn this dress (the first time was in gold), and I love everything about it! BM strapless dresses are very complimentary for those with a bigger bust! So comfy. Also gave me great shape. I would highly recommend this dress to anyone!

Runs big.
I was really looking forward to this dress because I am a sucker for anything with pockets! I didn't end up wearing this dress because it was too big. I am usually a true size 8, but I couldn't even pretend to pull this one off. Be warned- Go a size down!

LOVED this dress! RENT IT!
I highly recommend this dress for a spring/summer wedding. It felt so good on me. I was worried about having a strapless dress with the size of my chest, but this was constructed so nicely that there were no problems at all. I didn't even have to make sure that it didn't slip. It stayed put. I had many compliments on this dress, so do yourself a favor and rent it.

Great lace dress, but short.
I felt very feminine in this dress. My only complaint was that it was super short. The good thing is because there are sleeves and a high neck I didn't feel like it was inappropriate. I really liked the pink peaking out at the bottom. Its almost a nude/blush that is flesh colored so it made it feel a little shorter than it really was. Fun for a formal wedding.

Fun Romper!
I liked this Romper. I wouldn't say that it was my favorite thing I've rented, but it was nice to have something different on in Vegas. It made me a little bit boxy because of the color blocking, but still thought it was unique. Fits pretty true to size. It didn't travel well, but good thing my boyfriend is a master at ironing.

Runs small, order at least a size up.
I am a pretty true 8, and this was way too small around my hips/butt area. Didn't even bring with me on vacation.

Great dress for a black tie optional wedding! Compliments all night!
Beautiful and classy dress. The size 8 fit perfectly. It was hard in the lighting to get a good photo because the dress was black, but I got compliments on it all night. Fit true to size, but was a little long even in my 4 inch heels. The little skirt on the top was flirty and made what could have been a plain black dress not boring at all. I recommend.

Beautiful dress with a couple style options!
This dress is a must have! I received so many compliments! The color is less light blue a little more of a teal/aqua color. The fit was great. I didn't wear it the way in the picture because it felt a little funky so I left the flaps down. The dress is a little shorter in the front and longer on the sides/back so has a tiny bit of a train. It was perfect with my 4 inch heels (length-wise) Great dress. Try it...

Great dress, little big
My worry about this designer is that when the dress has been worn a lot it can get a little stretched out, so I ordered both the S and the M (months in advance because I have been dying to wear this dress). I got call a few days before the event and they informed me that the S was no longer available because who ever wore it before me ruined it beyond repair (blast!). So I only got the M and was able to order another dress (they take good care of you at least!). I figured the M will just be fine. The fit was good everywhere except the top. I have some pretty big boobs (34DD/36D) and I had a hard time holding the top up. I think it may be time to retire this dress RTR! Also the color is not as gold as I expected it to be. It was almost a milk chocolate with gold threading....

Felt like a celebrity!
Great dress! I received so many compliments on it! I JUST fit into the 8, probably could have worn the 10, but I worked really hard to get myself into the 8! The regular was really long and I'm a little over 5'5. I also love a dress I don't have to wear a bra with... so this was perfect. Felt so pretty and classy.

LOVED this dress! I almost considered renting it again a couple weeks later for my friends wedding in Napa. I ordered an 8 and a 10 just in case. The 8 was even a little looser on me! Highly recommend this dress!

Great dress for a Napa wedding!
Fit snug on the chest but I like that since I love any dress I don't have to wear a bra with. The zipper was also a little hard to work with, but once my boyfriend put a little muscle into it I was definitely in there!
