Cute dress but unforgiving fit
I rented the small, but ended up not wearing it. It may look loose and flowing in the photo, but I found it to be quite snug, plus there's a vertical detail going down each leg which accentuated how tight it was on my hips. No thanks!

Wore twice in one week!
I wore this beautiful blouse for date night with a pearl necklace, black slacks and black heels, then again for a night out with friends with leather leggings, booties and a jacket. The color is very unique, somewhere maroon and brown but the flowers make it very feminine and romantic.

Perfect for a nautical themed event or summer wedding
As other reviewers have said, this dress has a very structured bodice that really drives the fit. I went down to a size 2 so that I wouldn't have to worry about pulling the dress up and it was fuss-free the whole evening. The pockets are great - big enough for a pair of sunglasses and an iPhone. I danced the whole night and nothing fell out of them. The one drawback to this dress was that the pleated skirt is not particularly flattering, especially from the side. If you rent this dress, be sure to give yourself a little extra time getting ready to steam/iron the skirt!

Unbelievable dress! Best I've ever rented!
That first I was skeptical of the wide skirt and worried about a possible Marilyn Monroe moment, but as you can see, the skirt was plenty long and not poofy at all. The bodice fit great for me, but could be problematic for others. The fabric was beautiful and looked amazing in every light. I couldn't recommend this dress enough.

Fit better than my wedding dress!
I rented this dress for a USMC Birthday Ball (date not pictured!). The dress fit me perfectly and I felt amazing wearing it. There is plenty of structure to the bodice so I did not wear a bra but never once needed to tug the dress up. Although it is very fitted through the hips and thigh it was still quite easy to walk in. My only reservation about recommending this to others would be that there is a bit of a train which makes it difficult to dance in, but otherwise this has been my favorite RTR dress ever!

Cute!
I rented this to bring with me to a black-tie optional wedding in San Diego. I liked the design of the purse -- it was big enough for my cell phone, cash, make up, and whatever other odds and ends I needed, and the chain made it easy to go from crossbody to clutch -- but for some reason it was difficult to close and I was constantly worried that the contents were about to fall out on the dance floor!

Elegant dress for formal occasions
I rented this dress for a black-tie optional wedding in San Diego. The dress has plenty of stretch and is comfortable, but is also very form fitting and not particularly forgiving. For this reason I went with my backup size of 4 rather than the 2 that I had ordered. Overall, the dress received lots of compliments and I was pleased with the order.

Pop of color for a summer wedding!
As other reviewers have said, the arms are a little snug but otherwise the dress is very forgiving with lots of stretch and the color was just great!

I love this clutch! I think I've rented it 3 times now, I should probably just buy it!!
Just big enough for an iPhone, some cash, lip gloss and a pair of fast flats. Which is all you need, right?

Conservative cut with great style!
I wore this to a wedding in New Orleans. The dress was beautiful and had a nice vintage charm that fit the character of the wedding perfectly.

Loved this dress! I rented it for a fall wedding and it was perfect. My only recommendation is to wear it with some very opaque black tights because it is SHORT.
