Loved it! Such a unique dress!
Echoing many others’ reviews.. this dress is stunning. Love the color and how it kinda looks like a flower w/ petals in the front. Didn’t end up wearing since the wedding was more on the casual side but will def try to rent this again in the future!

Loved the color & fit of this dress!!
Ended up not wearing this dress to the wedding (this was second style ordered) but it came in close second place! Hope to order again for a future event. Color was amazing and fit great (true to size).

Gorgeous dress! So many compliments
The color and material of this dress was stunning. Felt so elegant in it (and as so many other reviews say, 10 Things I Hate About You vibes). My only complaint was this size 12 dress was too big on me and I usually wear size 12. I had to use a safety pin to bring straps together behind my neck so that my chest area felt more secure. I would recommend sizing down instead of up in your second size.

Strange fit, didn't like slit in middle!
Liked the color of this dress but didn't end up wearing to the wedding. It for strangely for someone who's a pear shape (larger hips and smaller waist). Did not look good on me

Loved it- Felt like Cinderella!
This runs true to size (or slightly small)- I'm usually a 12 on top, and 12/14 on bottom. Unfortunately RTR could not send me the 12 last minute so I only had the 14. It felt okay on my hips but was too baggy in my chest/waist area. I was able to use a safety pin to keep it mostly against my body. I felt so pretty and loved the flowy nature of the dress. Definitely is not form-fitting, do not need spanx/shapewear for this. Would highly recommend this dress!

Not good if you have wider hips!
I have a pear/hourglass shape (relatively small waist and large hips, average size chest) and this dress was very baggy around my waist but very tight around my hips. This dress would be better for those that are less curvy. Unfortunately was not able to wear this to my event. (My measurements are waist: 32", hips: 42", chest 38")

Classy dress that received many compliments!
This was not my first choice dress (backup order after my original dress didn't fit). At first I didn't want to wear it because I thought it was awkwardly long. However, I'm so happy I wore it. I received so many compliments and I felt very pretty and elegant wearing it. The neckline gives it just enough sexiness to balance out with the length of this dress. It was a little snug around the hips, but I was still able to dance (and even bend down to pick something up, albeit slowly & carefully).

Dress bulged out at the hips.. strange fit!
This was actually a backup dress (after the first dress I ordered didn't fit). Unfortunately, I didn't end up wearing this dress since it also did not fit me. You can see in the photo, I highlighted the areas in the hip where this dress flares/bulges outward. It's strange because I have large hips (compared to my relatively small waist), so I'm unsure who this dress would fit properly.

Unsure what body type this dress was made for!
This was my first disappointing RTR experience. I read so many great reviews on this dress, from what looks like women of many different body types. However when I tried the dress on, it was EXTREMELY tight on my hips (so tight I couldn't sit down, and even without wearing underwear you could still see that area, if you know what I mean). It was also pretty snug/fitted on my boobs. However, it was SO loose/baggy in my stomach/waist area. So maybe good for apple-shaped women? This was size 12.

Very pretty dress, but not great for pear-shaped ladies!
This dress was elegant and with the cut-outs on the side, it made it a little sexy while still being classy. I am very much a pear shaped (average/small chest size, small waist, and large hips) and this dress was very tight on my hips. In order to sit down I had to hike the dress up. It was a little loose on my chest (so definitely would be okay for larger-chest ladies). Overall this dress did look good on me, and the only person who noticed the tightness on the hips was me.

Did not wear, but still a pretty dress
I ordered this as a backup for a wedding. Unfortunately I ordered regular length, and at 5'9 I would've had to wear flats with this (with heels, it would look dumb with the dress 2-3 inches off ground). Definitely order long if you're somewhat tall & are wearing heels! The dress itself has this pretty gold accent/lace throughout dress, but I didn't find the dress particularly flattering for my body type (pear: big hips, small waist and average/small boobs).
