Fit Like A Glove
Just for clarity, my sister actually wore this dress, not me. She is about 5'0", 100lbs soaking wet, and wears a 34B or C. We were debating between the XS and the S, and I am glad she wore the S. It fit perfectly! It comes in two pieces, the black slip and the metallic/sequin shell. It was comfortable and cute for our trip to Vegas. It definitely was longer on her than on the model since she barely clears 5 feet tall, so if you are on the shorter side, just know it will just be a little closer to ankle length or a tea length instead of just-past-knee-length like it looks in the photo.

Graduation Standout
I rented this for my sisters' high school graduation and subsequent party. Green is their main school color, so I got a tooonnn of attention and compliments. The embroidery is so beautiful and the dress felt so sturdy and luxurious. It was cute and dainty without being immature. I have a large bust, so I did end up having to go with the larger of the two sizes I got. It doesn't have much give, if at all, so if you are in between sizes or have a larger bust, go up a size. I styled this with some black sequin drop earrings and black suede kitten heeled sandals and it was a knock-out!

Wore out for my birthday
I rented this dress to wear out for my birthday party, which mostly involved barhopping and hanging around our hotel. It was really cute. Kind of edgy, but not extremely so. More comfortable than I would have expected, tbh. The beading on the front is heavier than I thought it would be, but that ended up being a blessing because the hem was short and I might've felt exposed if that heavy beading wasn't weighing it down. I styled it with a denim jacket and chunky platform sandals. Downsides are that it does seem to run a touch small, and I have broader shoulders so it seemed tighter through the bust and shoulders than what would have been ideal. If you have a smaller chest/narrower shoulders, it will cause you no worries I'm sure!

Too Small
I usually wear a 10 or 12 in dresses, and either a medium or large t-shirt, and medium pants. The large wouldn't even zip all the way up. Ended up having to completely change my planned outfit for the night I had planned. Too bad, its a pretty dress.

Star of the show
This dress was comfortable and sexy. I expected it to be heavier since it’s all sequins, but it was perfectly fine. The mesh back was a cool detail that was definitely not overlooked by those that complimented the dress. I usually wear a 12 to accommodate my bust, but the 10 fit like a charm.

Incredible
This dress was so elegant and insanely comfortable. it was perfect for the wedding i attended. The fabric is stretchy, so I wound up wearing a Medium when I expected to wear a Large because the Large was super baggy on me and it looked much better form-fitted. Undergarments were kinda tricky because the type of fabric shows EVERYTHING, so wear a thong or some panties that don't make lines because panty lines will be obvious. I wore a normal bra loosened slightly so it could sit lower and not show in the back. I ideally would have worn a backless bra or those stick-ons, but i was unhappy with the way that looked in the dress. I also pinned the neckline just a touch. I loved how low it was, but it was not entirely appropriate to go into the church with and my date was a groomsman so I was on display and wanted to be respectful. I placed a tiny safety pin about an inch and a half above where the neckline naturally sits. My date's jaw was pretty much on the floor when he saw me in this dress, so all the trickiness was so worth it!

I rented this for my sister for her Winter Formal dance, it was perfect!
She is about 5'2", 160 lbs, 36DDD bra, and fairly pear-shaped. She usually wears a 8-10 and after reading reviews we decided to order the 10 with backup size 12. She ended up wearing the 12 as the bust was too tight for her in the 10, which we kind of expected. The combination of the fitted bust and sturdy fabric was actually supportive and she went braless in this dress. The free hips really helped it to be flattering and the length was very appropriate for the event, coming to high-to-mid-calf range. Only complaint is that it is complicated to put on and take off with the way the bow back snaps on and the side zipper, which is not RTR's problem, but it's definitely not a dress you can put on by yourself.
