Obsessed with this dress
I wasn't 100% sure this dress would work for me when I rented it but it fit absolutely perfectly. It was perfect for a California day wedding by the beach, so bright and cheery. I wish I could have kept it forever.

Cute and comfortable dress
This is a cute dress that can be worn for a variety of occasions. I wore it to a summer wedding and was really comfortable in it. I was worried that after sitting in the hot sun through the ceremony that the white part of the dress would show that I had been sweating, but it didn't! As other reviewers mentioned, the top was slightly on the looser side, but it wasn't too bad or noticeable for me. This was actually a last minute replacement rental after having to return my original dresses, but I've had my eye on it for awhile due to the fun print.

Neckline issues
The other reviews were correct - the top of this dress is tough to pull off. I'm small-chested and would have needed a heavy amount of fashion tape to wear this dress out. If I slouched even a little, there was a huge gap and you could see everything. I didn't have a size down to see if that worked, but I imagine that might have been too small in the waist.

Cute but didn't end up wearing
This was my backup dress and I didn't end up wearing it, but it is cute. I liked the fluttery sleeves and the fit, but my husband didn't like the square neck shape. Definitely go a size up - I usually wear a 4 but couldn't even zip that one up. The 6 fit perfectly.

Cute and Cozy
I got this vest to use as part of a costume for a murder mystery party (I was a hunter). It's not something I ever thought I would wear otherwise, but it was actually really cute and comfortable! I didn't take it off all night.

Love this dress
The fit was perfect and the dress was comfortable. I was worried that the neck might feel tight after awhile, but it really didn't bother me, and I was wearing the dress for about 14-15 hours. I couldn't quite tell from the picture, but the lace top does have a shiny silver element to it.

Beautiful Vibrant Dress
This dress was great - I think the picture on the site actually doesn't do it justice, it looks a little lighter and more shiny on the RTR picture, but it's a gorgeous emerald green and the fabric is chiffon so no shine. The fit was really good, a tight bodice and loose skirt, the slit was a nice detail and not too apparent. I got lots of compliments!

Cute dress
I didn't end up wearing this dress since I preferred the backup one I ordered. The 4 fit true to size, though was a little long. I expected the color to be more of a pale peach from the picture, but it was a little bit brighter/bolder than I was expecting. The dress comes with straps and I wish they were a little better hidden when tucked in to wear strapless - I'm sure no one else but the person wearing it would notice. I noticed some other reviews mentioning their dress not coming with a belt - mine did, it was in a little baggie attached to the hanger.

Not as good as the picture
I ordered this dress as a backup to a backup (my original backup was unable to be delivered). I liked how it looked in the model picture, but in reality the entire dress has an unflattering texture, it almost looks ripply due to the stitching and material. The 4 fit true to size, however I would not order it again to wear.

Matched well with my dress
These earrings were the perfect color to go with my BCBGMAXAZRIA Inga Abstract Maxi. They were not heavy at all, despite their size. Loved them!

Simple yet bold earrings, perfect for a dressy event
Unfortunately this was my best picture where you could see the earrings - I was worried they would feel heavy on my ears since I'm not used to wearing such large size, but they really did not bother me at all. Loved them!

Wish I could have kept it!
I loved this dress from the moment I saw it and knew it would be perfect for a June outdoors wedding. I wasn't able to get a backup size, but luckily the dress ran true to size (just slightly on the tight side in the bodice, since it's very structured). The dress was slightly long, so when I switched from my wedges to flats, I did have to be conscious of holding it up. Loved the look of the straps, though it would sometimes ride up into 1 strap (as pictured before I set up the straps correctly). Dress went perfectly with the Alexis Bittar Seaglass Lattice Teardrop earrings also from RTR.

Loved this dress!
This was a last minute backup for a dress that wasn't able to be delivered - luckily I was able to stop by the RTR Storefront in NYC to try it on because it does run large. I ordered a size down from my normal - the bodice is made from a stretchy material, even with the smaller size, I did find myself pulling the dress up a few times over the course of the night. The dress also runs pretty long, so I would suggest high heels or temporary hemming tape. Overall, it was the perfect dress for a wedding or any event where you want to sparkle a little!

Loved this dress!
This was my backup dress, so I only had it in one size and luckily it fit (almost) perfectly. The bodice felt perfectly snug at first, but I did feel like I had to pull the dress up a few times through the night. This dress was very much on the long side. I'm 5'6" and was wearing 3-3.5 inch heels and had to be careful when I walked since I kept stepping on the skirt. Other than that, I absolutely loved this dress. It was super comfortable and a knockout color!
