Runs small in tummy/thigh area
I have a big butt and thighs. I'm usually a size 10/12 and the 12 in this dress fit my bottom half almost like spanx it was so tight. I'm a 36DD and the top half fit perfect but the bottom was way too tight.

Didn't fit my body correctly
I am a curvy 10/12 with a 36DD and a big butt and thighs. I ordered this dress in the size 16 (US size 12). It felt way too big in the top and looked almost frumpy, but I think if I had rented the size 14 (US size 10) then it would've been too snug on my tummy/hip area; however, I think the 14 (US 10) would've been perfect up top! The fabric was beautiful and felt expensive. If you don't have a large bottom half then I would suggest ordering the smaller size if you're in between sizes. I think it is definitely made large on top since the US 12 was big on my 36DD size. I may rent again, but will try it in the US 10 if I do. Oh, and it has pockets!

Get your normal size and a size up
I own this dress is the pineapple print in a size 12 and it's honestly a little loose, but this size 12 was super tight in the waist so I didn't wear. I don't know why the same dress and brand would fit differently in same size but it does for some reason. I'm a 36DD and I feel like the straps would be too loose on a smaller bust size bc the straps fit me perfectly.

Gorgeous!
I want to own this dress! Both the L and XL fit me, but the large was tighter in the boobs so it helped keep them perkier since i couldn't wear a bra. Love this dress!

Bright and beautiful!
I agree with other reviews that it's not super flattering bc where it's so flowy it doesn't give you much of a shape. However, I still loved it bc it was so bright and I didn't have to worry about eating too much since it was flowy! ;)

Wrinkly
I'm usually a 10 or 12 and the 10 fit fine. This dress is somewhat heavy and has a lot of material. It was a huge wrinkly mess out of the bag. I steamed it, I ironed it some on the bottom, and it still bothered me bc it was so wrinkly. I also didn't think it was very flattering on my body type. The color wasn't the prettiest mustard yellow either. I think this dress would look better on darker skin and darker hair. I won't rent it again, but may work for others.

Good quality!
Nice thick material. I couldn't get the buttons to button bc my large bust, but zipping it up was fine bc the sweatshirt material is stretchy.

Boobilicious
I think it fit between true to size and large because I'm more often a 12 these days and this 12 seemed roomy. It fit great in the boobs (36DD), but I have a huge bottom half and the 12 fit perfect-loose and not snug at all. If you have a regular sized or smaller sized butt and thighs then size down one or you might feel like you're swimming.

Bright and perfect!
Color was neon pink and looked as bright as it does in the picture. My iPhone, keys, money, lipstick, and powder fit perfectly. I could've crammed some sunglasses in there too I'm sure.

Love the faux buttons!!
I'm a 36DD and usually have trouble with gaping buttons, but these are fake so it's perfect for large busts! I loved it!!

Color is navy!!
Super warm! I didn't have to wear a coat on a super cold day! Very classy. I would recommend ordering your normal size and one size down. I'm a M/L, 36DD and this is the medium. The outline is not black; it's close to black, but it's definitely a dark navy.

Huge boobs size up
I am usually a 10 but the 10 equivalent gapped on my 36DD boobs so I had to wear the 12 which fit perfectly. The waist on the 10 was also tight so I would suggest sizing up if you're in between sizes, curvy, or large-breasted. The pic is the 10. I didn't take a pic of the 12.

It is navy, not black
Beautiful sweater material. I got tons of compliments even tho I wore it with a black sweater and heels. The stripes are definitely navy so if that bothers you just make sure you know it's navy. Gorgeous quality tho.

LOVED!
I wish I would've taken a pic of this dress on. I paired it with long faux pearl necklaces, black opaque panty hose, and black suede pumps that have a cluster of pearls on the toes. It was so pretty and very Chanel-looking. I wore it to court (I'm an attorney) and got tons of compliments.

Super cute!
Unfortunately I didn't get to wear it but it fit true to size or even on the bigger side maybe. It's super cute and comfortable. Didn't seem super warm so don't depend on it for cold weather. Lovely piece.

Comfy elastic waist dress
I am either a M or L (10/12). The M wasn't available so I rented the large. I think it fit great! The waist is elastic and the dress is flowy. I really liked the elastic wrists too. I am a 36DD and the dress was not inappropriate. The bow helps camouflage the lower neckline. However, if you are a size 10/12 with a small chest you may think the large is huge so try the medium bc I swear there's plenty of room.
Dusk Buds Print Dress

Usual Size: 10

Bust: 36DD
Size 1-2 sizes up
I'm curvy and usually wear a 10/12. I have never had to wear a size 14, but I definitely would have needed a 14 in this dress. I thought it looked more a-line on the model. It's a nice thick material but definitely not a true a-line and is made small (at least for curvy women). If you're petite and have little to no curves then I would suggest renting your true size.

I wore this to work with opaque hose and black heels. Fit great. Loose and flattering, but wrinkled easily.

Photographs really well!
I have a big bottom half and usually wear a 10 in a-line dresses and a 12 in sheaths. This dress was only available in a 12 and it fit wonderfully. The 10 would've fit I bet but may have been more snug. If you're wanting it to hug your body to give you more of a shape, maybe size down, especially if you aren't super curvy because it's stretchy. The back straps are adjustable so it's good for all breast sizes. Really loved this dress.

Such a pretty blue color. Looks exactly as pictured. It's stretchy too. I wore it to work with a blazer bc it was snowing outside. Will rent again in the summer.

Stands out!
I am a 36DD. I wear a M/L, 10/12, and have a big bottom half. If you're curvy on the bottom then it will not fit u like it does the model. Regardless, size at least one size up. Beautiful and fun shirt tho! I wore with black pencil skirt and black hose for work. Loved it.

TIGHT!
I am usually a 10 or 12. I wear a 36DD. The dress was pretty and cool, but was super tight. I was having to suck in for every picture. I wore seamless spanx so I don't think you could see anything under the dress; it was pretty smooth. If I was in better shape I'd rent again, but I was not a fan of sucking in all night lol.

Straps kept loosening.
I wear a 36DD and rented the 10 and the 12. Both fit but I liked how the 10 fit best - it was tighter and gave it a more corset look. If you rent this dress make sure you get little safety pins or something. I don't know how many time my boyfriend had to tighten up the straps. As soon as he tightened them they would loosen back up. Don't worry about being bottom heavy bc the lining is stretchy so being too snug on thick thighs won't be an issue. I got a lot of compliments, but the boobs were definitely out there. I would rent again, but would tack the straps!

It was Okay
I didn't wear it bc I looked like I could match the decor in a Japanese steakhouse. I should've rented the blue. For size, I had to wear the 12 bc my butt and thighs. No stretch whatsoever.

Sparkles!
I'm usually a 10 in dresses. I wear a 36D/DD and ended up wearing the large. It stretches, but I think I would have preferred a larger size. Nonetheless, i received lots of compliments and felt good in it! The ombre sequins stand out more in the RTR picture than they do in real life. I am lookong forward to renting this brand again!

In love with this designer!
I'm usually a 10 and wanted to rent the 46, but it wasn't available so I rented the 44. The 44 fit perfect up top, but I would have preferred the bottom to be a little looser since I have thick thighs and a big booty. Nonetheless, this dress gave me the coke bottle figure and I felt very confident and voluptuous. The material was amazing. I would rent it again!

Loved- true to size- no need to suck in!
Loved. I am curvy so sometimes have to go up to a 12 but the 10 fit perfect. Loved the pockets. So comfy.

Stood out in a sea of black
The other reviews said this dress was made a size or two smaller, especially if you have a large chest (36D) so I was extremely nervous by just renting the 10 & 12. Im usually a 10, but the reviews made me feel like I may even need a 14. I tried on the 12 first thinking there was no way the 10 would even zip. The 12 fit a little loose up top to the point where I had to keep pulling it up as I walked around my apartment. The 10 fit perfect. I didn't wear a bra with it, but I could have. I liked the snug fit Bc I didn't have to keep pulling the top up all night. I received tons of compliments on it. I would have given 5 stars except both dresses had stains on them and were picked - just not really noticeable unless I pointed it out.

Nice dress
Im usually an 8/10. The dress wasn't available in an 8, but the 10 fit perfect anyways. Very thick, great quality material. I wore this for a mad hatter themed fundraiser. I wouldn't rent it for a wedding or other event bc it is very plain and rtr offers way too many other gorgeous dresses, but it was perfect for alice in wonderland. Great dress.

Couldn't raise my arms above my shoulders, but LOVED!
I put runs small, but the actual dress doesn't run small; the sleeves run small. I didn't end up wearing it Bc I loved my Badgley sequin backup dress better, but it truly is gorgeous! I'm usually a 10 and the 10 looked stunning, but my other dress was more on the sexy side and I preferred that look for the party I attended. I suggest if you have normal to thin arms to order your normal size, but order the next size up as your backup size. The 12 wasn't available, but I'm sure the 12 would have fit better in the arms and then the waist and bust would've been large. I honestly wouldn't even bother renting this dress if you have really large arms. I have normal to maybe even a little above normal size arms and it fit perfect for standing or sitting around, but there's no way I could have danced or touched the top of my head in this dress lol

Sequins are white, gold, and silver on white mesh!
Beware if you are a dancing machine. This dress is perfect if you are the type that just socializes and sits around, but if you love to be on the dance floor the sequins will tear you up, mostly around the arms. However, the scratches weren't as bad as other sequin dresses I have worn. With that said, everything else was awesome. Loved how you can wear silver, gold, or white with this dress bc it contains all of those sequin colors. I initially had problems with the inside lining hanging down below the outside sequin part..around the entire bottom of the dress, but finally figured out how to keep the lining from hanging further down. I'm usually an 8-10 and the 10 fit perfect. It's stretchy and doesn't ride up when you walk or dance. I would definitely rent again for a party that doesn't have a dance floor bc my arms are still raw.

Reliable brand!
I'm curvy and usually need a 10 with sheath dresses and an 8 for a-line dresses. I've rented this brand before and received tons of compliments once again. It's a little short, but I wore tan spandex shorts underneath it so if something did show it wouldn't be my booty. I had to steam it when it came in because the tulle was crazy wrinkly and didn't lay pretty, but after i steamed the bottom it was perfect.

So many compliments!
I'm a size 8-10 and have thick thighs and a booty. I was so afraid my butt would hang out, but it did not! Make sure you have a steamer handy or the tulle will not lay pretty. It kept it's shape all night and I absolutely loved it. I could've worn a 6, but I'm sure it would've been super tight and shorter.

Classy, but made small in bust
I wore this dress to the Kentucky derby. I'm a lilly lover and have tons of lilly dresses. I'm usually an 8 in lilly, so I'm glad I had the 10 as my backup. I have a full bust and thick thighs/butt. The 10 was so tight in the bust that I wasn't able to wear a bra. If you have a fuller bust I definitely recommend sizing up one.
