this was great to wear for formal Christmas Eve services. I am decently pregnant and sized up. (I weigh about 140 at the moment). I’m 5’4” and definitely needed heels to accommodate the length. love the cape. lots of compliments.

this dress reminded me of how a black garbage bag might look if it was artfully decorated with ruffles. I’ve got a decent baby bump going at the moment so I’m sure my perception might be different pre-baby, but man, this dress did not drape well on me haha

I am normally a 0/2 and ended up wearing a 10 with my late 2nd semester bump. I’d say this dress is bump-friendly (depending on how big your bump is) but definitely size up. Wore a sticky bra, which worked great. Lots of compliments all night! (Shout out to RTR for sending me a replacement larger size at the last minute! So awesome).

Excellent quality fabric. Color is stunning, more vibrant than pictures show. Unique details with the asymmetrical neckline and ruching, although the zipper didn't lay right with the ruching in places. Snugly fit in the legs (stairs and getting into cars was difficult) but I was still able to dance OK. Hemline was just below the knee and slightly too long for me (I'm 5'4") but still felt like a queen. Wore a strapless bra. Sleeves with a dress like this can feel constricting after a while.

Fit like a glove and made me feel amazing! I wore size 38. I am 5'4" and 110. It is made of snug and supportive material. A little tricky to get on as there isn't a zipper, but once on it was very comfortable. The color is so brilliantly blue and really stands out. I noticed that the armpits kind of rubbed a bit by the end of the night, but I had full range of motion which was great for dancing. I could see this dress in a professional setting as well as a party setting too! I wore it to a wedding.

This dress fit like a glove. Material is extremely high quality and the color is gorgeous. Pictures don't do this color justice. While I felt gorgeous wearing this dress, it was so restrictive in the arms and legs that I had trouble dancing. I joked that it was like wearing a straight jacket all evening. I love to dance at weddings so this was a problem for me! I did not wear a bra, but the dress fit snugly enough that it was OK. I would recommend this dress if you want to look like a million bucks but don't need to move too much!

This was a last-minute substitution by RTR since my intended dress was not available to ship to me in time. I opted not to wear this because it was too low cut AND too short for the occasion.

The color of this dress is amazing. So brilliantly blue! As with other lacy-type dresses I've rented from RTR, I found that some parts of the dress look a little more worn or frayed around the edges -- of course you have to look pretty close to see that, but just something worth mentioning. I did not wear a bra with this because of the low back. The waist/middle- section was fairly snug, and the fabric does not really have much give to it. For this reason, I would recommend sizing up just in case. I received quite a few compliments on the look. This dress made me feel very sophisticated and classy, yet still quite sexy with the low back.

This dress fit like a glove!! It made me feel AMAZING. I received so many compliments all night. The XS was a bit on the snug/short side for the function I was wearing this to, so I chose to wear the Small. For backup sizing, I would recommend sizing up as it is very form-fitting. I opted not to wear a bra due to the low back and that was totally fine. I wore some shape-wear underneath, which I think helped to keep it in place. (It did ride up a bit when I was out on the dance floor). Not going to lie -- this dress was hard to return.

This fit as expected. I read other reviews noting the arms were snug (they were), but not uncomfortably so. I received so many compliments, particularly on the color of the dress. Pictures don't quite do it justice. The pockets are a huge plus. The front is not quite as flattering as I would have liked, but the way the lace falls in the back made me feel beautiful nonetheless. The lining of the dress was also super soft! I wore a strapless bra just so I wouldn't be concerned about straps showing. Now for some cons. The edges of the lace looked a little more worn than I would have liked, and there was a bit of a gap in the lace underneath the right armpit. A minor point, but just something to keep in mind when renting a dress with a lace overlay like this.

This dress was perfect for a work holiday party. I ended up wearing my backup size (2L) because the 4R looked a little more "worn" and some of the sequins looked a little rough in places. I actually preferred the more snug fit. The fabric draped in a flattering way, and hugged in the right places, but I did end up wearing spanx to smooth my tummy. Due to the low back, I did opt to go bra-less. I was afraid the 2L would be too long for my 5'4" frame, but it was perfect length with 3inch heels. Kind of scratchy on the arms due to the sequins, but it wasn't too bad. Overall, a fantastic 1st RTR experience.
