Great fit, a little sext and comfortable
This dress is awesome. I will be watching it for purchase. I got the 2 and 4 and ended up wearing the 2. The only difference i noticed in sizing was that the 4 was larger in the chest, which didn't work for my smaller bust. It was stretchy, comfortable, snatched at the waist and the neck detailing added some fun. The fabric is great for winter. Definitely don't hesitate!

Cute, but didn't fit
I really liked the look of this, but the bottom was way too tight for my curvy figure and even if I put on a compression thong, the top was too big for my smaller chest. I ended up ordering a replacement dress. The color and style is fabulous, if it would've fit.

Warm and Fun
I wore this for Christmas Eve. I liked that it was a great option for the winter, but wasn't overly formal. It was comfortable and warm, but the back cutout made it more fun. I definitely couldn't wear a bra, so I used nipple covers, which weren't great because the front had been stretched out a bit from larger boobs (I'm a large A cup). It's definitely on the shorter side if you have a booty, but with tights, worked great.

LOVE! Comfortable, sexy and easy to wear
I love this dress. My original pick did not fit, so this was my replacement and it was amazing. Both sizes fit, but I went with the small because I have muscular shoulders and the XS was pulling just a bit more than I wanted. It didn't pinch at all on the cutouts, so there as no worry of skin blubbering out. I wore it all night and was super comfortable the whole time. The color is also beautiful. I would definitely buy this dress.

Awkward Fit
I really wanted to love this one, but it was way too tight on the shoulders/top and I felt like I was choking. It also didn't conform to my back, so my butt went away entirely. I threw it on real quick with a sweater over it so that it looked like a velvet skirt and it looked okay, but the neck kept choking me, so I didn't wear it. The size up was WAY too big overall, so I ended up getting a replacement.

Fun, bright and unique
I was a bit nervous renting this dress since it didn't have any reviews, but I ended up loving it. It is PINK! If you're confident and don't mind color, rent this dress. I wore the small, but only because I have broad shoulders and the xs was pulling a bit. I would say this is for shorter gals. I'm 5'4 and I wore tights as it was even a bit short on me...but I also do have long legs. I wore a sticky bra as the fabric, although velvet, wasn't quite thick enough to go braless. I tried a low-back bra, but the bottom of the dress hits at the waistline, so it didn't work. I wore to a wedding and got many compliments. It was easy to dance in. I only gave 4 stars because getting the top head portion over your head, especially after having your hair and makeup done, was a bit tricky as it is tight and doesn't have a huge amount of give. Would wear again.

Easy to wear!
I loved this dress. It was perfect for the cold weather, but the shoulder cutouts added a bit of fun and sexiness. The length is long enough that you don't have to worry about showing too much leg, but not so long that you feel frumpy. The fabric is thick and stretchy, so perfect for if eating a big meal. Would rent again.

Great color and fabric for winter!
I actually ended up wearing both sizes of this dress. The size 2 fit fine, but was a bit tighter in the booty....I dressed it down with army green tights and higher winter boots. For Christmas Eve, I went with the size 4 to feel more comfortable eating a big meal and opening presents. I dressed it up with monotone tights and silver pumps. The elastic parts of the sleeves didn't always stay put, so I did have to adjust, but not super annoying. I also felt the size 2 was choking me every once in a while, but I think it's because it was tighter on the butt, so I was pulling on it more to feel lower. Overall a good dress. The color is a deep navy and the fabric is great for winter....not too hot, not too cold.

Compliments All Night!
This dress was great! I received compliments all night. Everyone especially loved the vibrant colors. I loved that it had pockets, was easy to wear and was a great length (above the knee, but not short where I felt like I would show off the booty). The dress did have some weird creases when I took it out of the bag, so we had to steam those out. The top is definitely large for anyone with a narrow rib cage and a smaller chest. I'm a 32A and had to wear my bra that amplifies the chest to be a couple sizes larger so that the dress didn't gap on top. The size 2 was huge on my chest, so I'm glad the 0 worked. The waist is fitted, so if you have a small chest and more of an apple shape, this dress probably won't work. Overall, loved the dress!

Great dress
I wore this for Thanksgiving day. It was the perfect weight for the weather and the stretchiness was perfect for eating a big meal. I never felt uncomfortable even with the bottom portion being tight. It was the correct kind of tight. I would definitely buy this dress to keep as a staple in my wardrobe.

Great color and fit!
My mom rented this for Christmas Eve. She had to have something that covered her arms, but not too tightly as well as her front because of some medical issues. This dress was great! It not only succeeded in covering her as needed, but also flattered her figure and made her look beautiful. The cutout in the back added some fun and sexiness. She thought the length was possibly too short, but I didn't think that was the case at all (she's 5'4"). The red was a great color. I highly recommend this dress. I'm even considering renting for myself.

Great color and design!
I loved this dress, but it was a bit too large. I have wide shoulders and a very narrow rib cage with a small bust, so this dress ended up hanging on me too much and didn't show off my figure much. I pinned it in the back to bring the waist in a bit, but would've liked to tried the size 0, although I think the shoulders would have then been too tight. Overall a great dress, just not quite the right fit for my body.

Comfortable, yet sexy.
I rented this dress for a date night and loved it. It is tight around the booty, but the ruching helped cover up bumps. I also wore tights as it was chilly outside, so that helped. I wore this again the next day for a more casual event and dressed it down with a colorful scarf and some casual boots. Even though it's tight, I was super comfortable for both nights, which involved eating. The picture isn't the best, but it does slim you more than you would think. Would rent again.

Great color, a bit large.
Loved the look of the dress and the color, but it definitely ran big. I ended up pinning the back in a bit just to give a bit more definition in the waist and it was still very baggy. I didn't mind because I wore it for Thanksgiving, but not something where you'll be showing your figure. I also felt the tie in the back, while cute, pulled on the front collar and was a bit constraining at times (I had to full the collar forward a few times because it was uncomfortable...not quite choking, but the preliminary sensation). Overall, cute dress, but I wouldn't rent again.

Great dress for casual holiday.
I wore this dress for Thanksgiving with the family. The extra small was a bit tight in the hips, but the small was way too loose on the shoulders/ribs, so I opted to go for slightly tight on bottom. It seemed to stretch a bit as the day went on and I loved the dress. I was on the move quite a bit cooking and playing with the kids and was comfortable the entire time. I LOVE the color and would definitely add this to my permanent wardrobe. Oh - and I wore it with boots...just forgot to put them back on for the picture.

Great bright color and easy to wear.
I have a small chest, but larger hips and shoulders, so this dress was great for my frame. I had to wear the 0R for it to stay up as the 2R was way too loose on top. It was tight to get zipped, but still very comfortable. I love that it had pockets as my phone didn't fit in my tiny purse, but fit unnoticed in my pocket. It was a great color and I got compliments all night.

Great dress for winter occasions. Great fit!
I ordered the XS and small and ended up wearing the extra small. I almost wore the small because it was a bit longer, but my husband said it looked frumpier, so I went with the shorter version. I wore nylons under to help balance out the shortness, although the length really wasn't too bad. The fabric was great and I was comfortable the entire night. The deep V in front was appropriate and showed just the perfect amount of cleavage (although I am small-chested, so it may show a bit more on someone with a larger bust). I liked that it pulled in at the waist, making me feel comfortable and not worrying so much about my mom "pooch." Would definitely rent again. LOVED!

Tight arms; odd fit.
The size 2 was true to size, but much shorter than anticipated. I'm only 5'4 and it was rather short. I do have long legs, but I was still surprised. It also must work better for someone without a butt because the lining was clinging oddly and sticking out of the bottom. The arms were ridiculously tight. I do have muscular arms and the lace did loosen up a bit, but if I bent my elbows too much, I was concerned I would tear the fabric. The same must be true for others because the armpit was already torn on the size 2. If I were going to just sit somewhere and not move my arms, I probably could've worn it, but since I was going to the ballet with my children where I knew I'd have to carry them or other items, I didn't want to risk it. The mirrored effect also wasn't quite what I was expecting. If you have tiny arms and no butt, this dress will be perfect. For me, it didn't work so I chose not to wear it.

Easy to wear and fun!
As mentioned by other reviewers, the major con is the length. I'm 5'4", but with long legs and it definitely wasn't as long as most maxi dresses. It looked okay with flats or heels, it just didn't quite feel correct. With that said, I received so many compliments all day long and it was very comfortable. I was able to wear a bra without any issues. I also love that you don't have to wear a thong with it :) I wore it for about 10 hours and for half of that we were in 90-degree weather and it breathed well and was super fun, Would definitely recommend.

Easy-to-wear and unique
Definitely true-to-size. I wouldn't say it ran short like some of the other reviews. I'm 5'4 and have long legs and still wore 3" heels without my toes showing. the dress was comfortable and had some give, which was nice. The lining underneath would sometimes creep up, but was easily pulled down. The only tricky part was the back. I was able to wear a black strapless bra that fit almost perfectly underneath the strap that went across, but having a backless bra would've been ideal. I could've gone without a bra, but preferred to give my body a bit more curve in the front. The size 2 also fit, but was just slightly loose around the waste, so I lost a bit of my shape.

Comfortable and elegant.
I ordered the size 2 and 4. Both fit, but the 2 definitely helped show my figure a bit better. It was, however, a bit shorter. I was wearing tights, so I didn't mind the length, but it could bring about issues if dancing or moving a lot. My only complaint is that both the dresses I received had small tears in the fabric on the front. RTR offered to overnight a new dress, but with it being December 23, not much was available.

Great for small wrists. Very sparkly!
I have very small wrists and other reviews said these bangles wouldn't fall off. This held true and they were great. I loved the size and the sparkles. They were a hit with my family enough so that my mom wanted to know the brand to possibly buy some. I would definitely rent again.

I had never worn an ear cuff before and at first I thought it would be too large, but after wearing it for a while, I decided it was a great size. It was a bit tight at first, but I adjusted it so it was comfortable.

The dress was comfortable and true to size.
Although the dress fit true to size, it still wasn't quite tight enough around the rib cage and waist for me. I have a very narrow rib cage, though, so I think it may have just been my issue. I also had to wear my most padded bra because of the same issue. Because of this, I felt a bit dumpy at times because it just wasn't sucking in at the waist as much as the picture shows. It was super comfortable and I didn't have to worry about an underwear line, which was nice. I could also dance freely in it. The tulle did get caught on things easily (like my chair), so I had to watch for that. The other ladies in my group wore full-length formal dresses and I felt a bit under-dressed in comparison, so would save this one for something in between next time.
