Slinky and lightweight. Size down for the backup!
This dress was so fun to wear I've rented it twice. I'm usually a 12 but it runs large. I made it work the first time with some pinning to my bra to prevent a wardrobe malfunction, and I also had to pin the fabric in the bust area bc there was too much. It made it look saggy (not a good look for your boobs!). But one little pin made it drape nicely and it wasn't noticeable. I went with the size down for my second time and it fit very well. It is lightweight and slinky and stretchy so it was very comfortable. Wore spandex and a strapless bra.

It was too small
This is a gorgeous dress. The color is so gorgeous and the cut is so chic. It was a back up so I didn't have an extra size. I'm usually a 12 but can *sometimes* size down but this was way too tight everywhere for me to pull off. Order up!

Replacement dress FTW
This dress never caught my eye on the app, but the dress I ordered didn't fit and this was one of the replacement options. I LOVED this dress. Wish I could own it. So many compliments and I felt amazing and confident all night. Wore spandex and a strapless bra. Was able to move and breathe and dance all night. Thanks RTR for getting it to me!

It fit perfectly
This was the perfect dress for the breast cancer gala I attended. I wore pink jewelry and shoes to accent the bow in the back. So many compliments! There is a little stretch but it was very true to size. I wore spanx and a Nu Bra. And this dress does require assistance with the back. I would never have been able to snap the back closed without help and it did pop open once when fumbling getting out of the car. So wear this WITH a partner.

Light and versatile
These earrings were the perfect touch of gold to go with my dress. They were light which was important or I wouldn't have been able to wear them all night. Never even thought about them but got tons of compliments. Recommend!

Fit great! Shorter than expected
This dress fit my curvy shape nicely and was comfortable for a fun night of dancing. Nice stretch. I wore a regular bra so that was great. It is slightly longer in the back than in the front, and i wished i had gotten a long. I'm 5'5" so I'm always borderline with length. Oh well. Apparently great minds think alike because a friend had rented the same gown for the same event. We had a good laugh.

Sparkly and fun
I wore this to a Mardi Gras ball where I saw lots of RTR gowns! I found this to be true to size, but be prepared for serious cleavage. I was a little self conscious about it all night. Was very forgiving and flattering around the middle. Have fun!

I got compliments all night. It was great for the occasion!
I rented this to wear to a 60s mod themed MardiGras ball. The pattern and cut of the dress made it perfect, and honestly if I took off the costume boots and the 60s hair, makeup, and jewelry I could have worn it to church the next morning and still gotten compliments. Classic and cute. I thought I would be a large but the medium had plenty of room. 4 stars instead of 5 because the picture made me think it would be more vibrant than it was. It's more muted than it appears and is a sweater dress material. Hard to tell from the model photos.

Sparkly, flattering, heavy!
I ordered an 8 and 10. The 8 fit, but was too short. It hit at the top of my foot. Even flats would have shown, and with this dress style, that's really not what you want. I wore the 10 because it was the right length, and it was more comfortable to have some extra breathing room, but since it was a little big, the weight of the dress kept pulling it down. I would recommend ordering your smaller size in a long and your larger size in a regular if you are taller than 5'4". It was beautiful and sparkly. I paired it with gloves for a little drama. I'd recommend!

Sleeves too small
This dress arrived on time and in good condition. I was really hoping to wear this to a Mardi Gras ball, but I could not put my arms through the sleeves. They were far too tight. So disappointing as I was hoping to cover my arms!!! Although I will say that even if they had fit well, the sleeves are unlined and therefore extremely scratchy from all the sequins. The rest of the dress seemed like it would fit, but the large would have been better.
