Really soft lace, beautiful coral color.
The sizing for this dress seemed a little awkward to me. The medium was a little too baggy but a good length, and the small fit better but was a tad too short. Looking back, I should have paired the medium slip with the small lace overlay. Also to note- there are two very small buttons attached to a piece of string on each shoulder for you to clip the slip into so the straps don't fall down. I wore a strapless bra with this which worked well. All in all this was a super comfortable dress that I would probably rent again.

Great dress but too small - did not wear.
I am normally always a size 4, and so I ordered a 4 and 6 for this dress since other reviewers said it ran small. The size 6 actually did fit, but was skin tight; I didn't feel comfortable enough to wear this to a wedding and so I ended up contacting RTR to send me another dress. Side note: RTR customer service was amazing and helped suggest a replacement dress for me. They overnighted it to my hotel free of charge, and I got it by 9am the morning of the wedding. Back to this dress - the length was great and hit me about an inch above my knee. I was really bummed not to wear this because the color was great for a fall wedding (a dark, rich turquoise) and the material was nice and thick. Will probably try renting this again in the future in a size 8 when it's available!

Perfect for a casual summer wedding.
This was a fun, simple dress that is easy to dress up or down with shoes and accessories. Loved the vibrant pink color, which was bright but not obnoxious or inappropriate as a wedding guest. My only complaint is that it was a little shorter than what I was comfortable with. If you have a butt, it will definitely flare out a little more due to the skater-style of the skirt.

Fun dress but very POUFY!
I ordered sizes 2 and 4 and it was a close call with which I preferred. The size 2 was a bit too tight in the waist, which made the cutouts unflattering, but the top fit great and I liked the length/amount of fabric on the bottom. The size 4 fit perfectly in the waist, but was a big large on top and had A LOT of fabric on the bottom. I ended up wearing the size 4. Overall, it's a solid dress that's definitely appropriate for a black tie wedding, and the fabric texture/colors are unique and fun. Personally, I just wasn't a fan of the poufyness of the bottom portion due to the stiff fabric. Wouldn't rent this dress again.

Figure-flattering, classic dress but runs quite short if you have a butt!
If you have a bigger booty, be cautious with this dress!! It's pretty short, as you can see from my second picture; I don't think sizing up would give the extra length needed either. Otherwise, I found the dress ran true to size. I wore a nubra-type bra with this but you could do a strapless. Besides the length, I loved it!

Rent this dress!!
This dress is super flattering and I got lots of compliments on it. The material is pretty thick, but I wore it to an end-of-June wedding and was totally comfortable. Like many others have said, it's more of a sparkly gray than a black. The material is also fairly stretchy; I'd say size down for your back-up size.
