barbiecore perfection!
I wore this for a Barbie screening and it was perfect for the occasion! I'm a 10/12 but pretty short (5'4") and the straps and pants were definitely too long, I *had* to wear heels and even then my pants were hitting the floor. that said, it was super flattering and comfy in the core/waist, and I was comfortable all night long.

I couldn't even get this dress on!
I'm a pretty true size 8, so I rented this as a back-up option for a formal fall wedding. I couldn't even get it over my head or past my hips! I didn't want to squeeze and risk ruining the dress, but was shocked by how small it seemed to be.

True to size, versatile and gorgeous for a wedding!
I originally ordered this dress in two sizes, sizing up because reviewers mentioned this one is a bit tight, but RTR told me the bigger size was unavailable, so I hoped this one would work. It ended up being perfect, if not slightly big in the bust/chest area (and I'm pretty busty!) but easily fixed with double-sided tape if you feel it's needed (I didn't and was fine!). This dress was a pretty heavy fabric which was good for a fall outdoor wedding ceremony/cocktail hour, and so versatile in navy. I wore it with a simple gold necklace, bangle, earrings, and matching gold purse/heels, but would look just as good in silver too. I'm fairly short and the length wasn't a major issue, however, I had to be careful not to step on the netting in back. This dress was so gorgeous, the bride's MOM wore the same one in black! I would have felt awkward if she was also in navy, but no one really seemed to notice we were wearing the same dress. A great choice and I'd happily recommend!

Really cute, fun dress but didn't fit well for me.
I rented this to wear at a daytime summer wedding for a very quirky and colorful couple, and was so disappointed that I couldn't wear it. The 8R was true to size for me and looked great, except the bust was wayyyy too big, and I'm pretty large chested. It was very weird fitting in the top otherwise too, so I skipped it. But the fabric and print was gorgeous, and it's certainly a standout dress if it fits you properly.

Perfect for a wedding in all temperatures!
I rented this for a daytime summer wedding that happened to be on a nearly 105 degree day. I went with the 8R and a 10R as a backup, and it fit true to size except maybe slightly big for me in the bust area (and I'm pretty large chested) but the length and fit was otherwise perfect. It looks white online but is definitely silver, so I paired it with silver strappy sandals, silver jewelry, and a silver clutch. The fabric seemed prone to wrinkles so you might need to press, otherwise a great choice that works well for all seasons.

Beautiful dress but fit was an issue.
I rented this dress for a late March wedding, and it was beautiful (albeit a bit confusing to get into at first). Heavy enough fabric for those chilly days, but still colorful enough for spring. I didn't end up choosing this (or snapping a photo - oops!) because the top part was too loose on me. I'm a pretty true size 8, and the waist part was perfect. But the top and back were too loose, so it might just have not been the best dress for my individual body type. The zipper was tough to manage as well.

Comfortable and fun!
I wore this dress for a late March wedding on a chilly early spring day. It was super comfortable - the fabric was heavy enough but I think it would be fine even on a warmer day. The fit was true to size and it was such a fun dress to wear! The zipper was a bit tricky but with the help of someone else to get in and out of it, it was no big deal. I loved it and would wear it again without hesitation!

Oddest fitting dress ever!
I rented this for a wedding and received a size 6 and backup size 8. The 6 fit perfectly except was too narrow in the top (I am quite busty but comfortably fit a 6 by most standards) so I could not zip it up. The 8 was then way too big up top altogether, and would have looked terrible. Otherwise, beautiful dress in a gorgeous jewel-toned pink that I would have loved to wear!

Stunning and easy to wear!
Beautiful dress, comfortable and fun to dance in. I paired with a black and gold necklace, pink earrings, hot pink/gold clutch, and black pumps. Fit perfectly and got lots of compliments. Easy to match with lots of colors.

Gorgeous and fun but be wary of size!
This dress was gorgeous but the fit was really awkward. If you are busty like I am you may feel self-conscious. Also it was extremely tight around the tummy area, not good for those of us with a pooch. I just barely fit into the 8 so go with your normal size and size up. Still really cute though. I wore with white heels.

GORGEOUS! Sparkly, fun, and comfortable!
This dress is gorgeous and so much fun to wear! I I was unsure if the 6 would fit and did not have a backup size but it fit like a glove. Comfortable and did not feel scratchy, easy to wear with a normal bra. I got so many compliments all night -- definitely a showstopper. I paired with nude heels, a rose gold watch, and simple necklace and earrings.

SO cute and comfy too!
This dress was AWESOME. I rented the medium and it was quite comfortable, a lot of room to breathe but not too big. Wore it with a nude bra and didn't find any issues with the sheerness of it. Wore to see Britney in Vegas and was comfortable even with all the dancing. I wore sheer black tights and pumps and some statement jewelry, very easy to dress up or down.

Sexy and sassy but way too big in the chest!
I have recently lost a lot of weight (35 lbs) so I never thought I'd be able to pull a dress like this off. The dress was HOT but I felt very comfortable in it, surprisingly not too exposed. It is actually a navy color but looked good with a black blazer, black sheer tights, and black pumps (I was in Vegas and it was quite chilly.) HOWEVER - it was extremely large in the chest area, so much so that I could have worn a 6 but ordered an 8 and 10. And I am not a small-chested girl. I would order your normal size and size down as well.

A classy, elegant yet comfortable and cute dress!
This was the PERFECT dress! I wore the pink version to a wedding in June and tried this one and loved it even more! I paired it with a black statement necklace, rose gold Michael Kors watch, black bow earrings, and nude pumps. Note that it is NOT black/white but black/tan but actually much prettier. Fits like a glove. I had a nightmare experience getting the dress but hoping that RTR makes this up for me because the dress itself was gorgeous and I wish I could own it!

A classic Kate Spade look perfect for a bridal shower!
The dress was definitely more mustard colored than shown in the picture, but that was OK by me. I also found it to be very heavy and would be more appropriate for a fall or winter event (I was pretty hot in it). The fit was basically true-to-size, though a little tighter than I thought it would be in the chest and waist area. I paired it with a black cardigan and black pumps. A chic, fun dress!

This dress was perfect for a wedding on a cruise ship! I got so many compliments all night!
I rented a 10 and 12 and the 10 fit perfectly. I paired it with nude pumps, a turquoise necklace, and pink Kate Spade earrings. A little roomy in the chest but otherwise totally comfortable! I may rent it again for a bridal shower. Note that they no longer send it with the belt but its not necessary.
