Beautiful dress but a but uncomfortable
This dress is gorgeous and very well made. The color is just stunning and I liked the illusion neckline since it kept "the girls" in line. My only complaint is that the padding in the bust is a bit high which made it somewhat uncomfortable to wear. So if you've got nice high, perky gals then you should have no problem but if they're any lower than, say, your collarbone, be ready to be hiking them up all night-which is a feat in and of itself since you can't really reach in they're very easily

I felt extra glow-y at my baby shower!
This was the perfect dress for my summertime baby shower! The free-form cut is perfect for a bump. I added a belt so I didn't look so huge but it would be really cute without a belt too. I will note that the layer underneath is slightly more fitted than the outside so if you are pregnant I would suggest sizing up a tad if you're in the later part of pregnancy. The style was just adorable. Since I was pregnant with a girl the butterfly print was a nice whimsical detail for the occasion. I added some gold accessories for a little extra glow!

Great size!
This clutch fit everything I needed for the night (iPhone, lipstick, diabetic glucose monitor, and a few credit cards/cash). I think it was a blueish silver which was perfect for my dress color!

Hugged curves perfectly!
This dress is a great royal blue in person and fits great (a little snug in the hips for me) but the 8 was perfect. I'm 5'3" and 145 lbs and wore 4-4.5 inch heels which worked out well. I didn't have to even wear a bra and I have a pretty big chest, if anything it made me look smaller and I didn't have to keep pulling the dress up throughout the night.

So many compliments!
This dress was great because it looks classy and is still comfortable to dance in! It didn't chafe my underarms like other reviews so I guess it differs for everyone. It was such a nice color and looked great in group photos (it's especially nice if you have blue eyes). Overall, it was a great length and comfy fit and the cutout in the back added a nice unique touch.

Wow!
I was stalking this dress pretty much since our friends set the date for their wedding. I think I had my dress picked out before the bride did lol. This dress was everything I dreamed of and more! I did have a little anxiety when I found out the 6 was damaged by a previous renter so this was probably the first time I was ever relieved to need to size up. The 8 fit perfectly, even on my trouble zone- my hips. And if it hadn't RTR's wonderful stylists were so helpful and in constant communication to help me with a backup dress (at no extra charge). I got so many compliments on this dress (even a " you look smokin'" from the bride herself haha). Once again, RTR does not disappoint!

My husband was speechless...
I can't say enough good things about this dress! I was a little nervous about it fitting since my hips are a little wide so anything fitted through the hips is a gamble for me. It fit like a dream though! The fabric is gorgeous and the color is just fabulous. It was just sexy enough but not too over the top for a wedding. My husband could not stop telling me how great I looked!

This dress was a hit!
This dress was even more amazing in person! It fit perfectly and is so beautifully made. I got a ton of compliments and it was the perfect nautical look for a rehearsal dinner at a marina. RTR proves their awesomeness once again!

The perfect dress for our anniversary dinner!
I absolutely LOVED this dress! I wore it last night when my husband and I went out to dinner for our 1st anniversary. I got so many compliments! And then when I made this photo my default on FB I got even more. It was definitely tough to drop my return package in the UPS box this morning. My hips are my problem area so I tend to size up on my backup with fitted dresses, but I surprisingly ended up wearing the smaller size of the two! The arms were a tad tight but no so much so that it really bothered me. The 8 was kind of baggy so I decided to wear the 6 since it looked more flattering. If I were to buy this dress I probably would've bought an 8 but had it taken in in the body to fit just right. The color was gorgeous and I didn't even realize when I ordered it that it was made of Alencon lace - which is what my wedding gown was made of! So that made it even more perfect for the occasion. Definitely in my top 3 of dresses I've rented from RTR!

Wish I could've had two size options on this one
I really loved this dress - especially the fabric and print - but the cutouts just did not sit right on me. I ordered it as my second $25 option (so I didn't have the option to order 2 sizes) for a wedding and ended up wearing it for the rehearsal dinner. I think the 4 would have fit much better for the sake of the cutouts.

The fabric on this dress was absolutely beautiful!
The fabric was really my favorite part of this dress. The subtle print is very intricate. It fit well from the waist down, but the top is cut a little strange. It gapped under the arms but it wasn't super noticeable. A stick on bra is definitely a must for this one!

The dress fit beautifully and I got a ton of compliments!
This dress is a dream! The silver is just the right amount of shiny and very tasteful. The silhouette hugs curves in the best way possible. I seriously loved this dress and was so sad to have to send it back when my rental was up.
