Beautiful fabric, some fit issues
Not my favorite. Cute idea for a dress (beautiful fabric, interesting cut), but just not that flattering of a fit. First of all, ran small. I probably could have worn my usual size, but ended up wearing the 6 for comfort since the zip was quite tight on the 4. The skirt flares out awkwardly from the stomach, and I felt like it added unnecessary bulk there. The sleeves were a little high maintenance and I had to keep pulling them up all night. Difficult to dress down, which was my intent.

Loved this dress!
Adorable. Great print and fabric. Wore it for playing tourist on a spring trip during the day, but could definitely be dressed up. Fit true to size and found it to be super flattering. Not too short for taller ladies. Would totally recommend.

Cute, preppy casual option
This dress is a borderline 3/4 stars for me. It was cute, mostly comfortable (a little tight across the chest/ribcage), and fit true to size. It is a LOT of fabric, and a heavier material - for this reason I would recommend for ladies on the taller side. Did not find the stripes or shape of the top (fuller coverage) to be all that flattering. A bit torn on this one.

Amazing, quality material - super flattering cut!
Obsessed with this dress - honestly one of my favorite RTR rentals of all time. The silhouette is adorable, and unbelievably flattering on the waist while concealing wide hips. I am small-chested (34B) and had no trouble at all with the top portion being too large as other reviewers have mentioned (I wore a sticky bra). The color is amazing, darker in person than pictured. Also, love the pockets!! One thing I will say, is that it is long. I am 5'11" and the length was just above the knee, so this one may be too longer for more petite ladies especially as it is quite a bit of heavy fabric.

Cute, easy dress for a daytime event!
Loved the print and overall look, was also super comfortable for a daytime party. The fit was true to size but a little awkward - the arm holes were tight on me/not the most flattering but the dress itself was VERY oversized. Also, tall ladies should note that the length all around is asymmetrical and while the sides have a lot of extra long fabric the very back is quite short! I had to be careful sitting down. Overall, would recommend but an odd cut.

Vibrant color, great cut!
Fit true to size, really unique top from the neckline to the draping. The color is amazing and it was comfortable for a nice dinner out! As noted, the bottom flaps do not close so I had to pin them together as well - otherwise when you move around you can see skin. Would recommend for the holidays!

Beautiful, vibrant casual dress
Wore this for a casual birthday day. The colors and print are beautiful, this belongs in Miami! The cut-outs are super flattering. I will say the material is a bit flimsy (luckily it was quite hot when I wore the dress), the length was a bit short for my 5'11" frame, and the top is barely supportive/quite small - I am small-chested so this was not an issue but just as an FYI for others!

UNREAL earrings!
I am obsessed with these earrings, I wish I could keep them! They were so clearly high-quality, and not too heavy. The backings were such that they felt secure all night. The stones were so beautiful, and they were the perfect complement to my dress. Highly recommend.

Amazing, surprisingly comfortable dress!
I rented this dress for a more formal wedding, and absolutely loved it. The dress fit true to size, I ordered my regular size (4) and a back-up (6) and went with my normal size. I am pear-shaped, but the bottom portion had enough stretch where it fit perfectly. I am tall (5'11"), and the dress hit just above the knee (so more petite ladies should note this may be much longer!) A couple of things to note: although the dress was quite comfortable overall, the neck area is a bit restrictive. Additionally, the sequins and color of the dress are much more vibrant in person than in these photos - if I were attending a more casual event (especially a casual wedding) I would probably have been overdressed and a bit flashy.

Much larger than expected - a bit too tight around the neck!
I loved the idea of this necklace in theory, but ultimately did not end up wearing it. I was planning to wear it to a summer wedding with a yellow dress for a bit of contrast. The color is bright and the necklace is high quality, but it is HUGE. Not sure how much it had to do with pairing it with a bright dress, but it felt like way too much. The smallest strand fits much closer to the neck than I anticipated (should have noticed in other reviewers' pictures) and I felt like it kind of shortened my neck.

Amazingly bright and summery color - super flattering fit!
LOVE THIS DRESS! I wore this to a summer wedding and got SO many compliments. I am pear-shaped and usually a 4, so I rented a 4 and a 6 based on prior reviews. Ended up wearing the 4 as it was a bit more form fitting/flattering and the 6 was a tiny bit loose up top (I am smaller-chested). The color is so much brighter in person, really gorgeous with a tan! The draping is super flattering. Paired this with a turquoise necklace because I loved that combo in other reviewers' photos. One of my favorite rentals to date - would highly recommend!

Cute, boho casual summer dress!
Cute dress! Fits true to size. The colors are great with a tan. Rented for a boat cruise and got many compliments. I am pear shaped, and this hugged my thighs a bit, but was otherwise true to size. Nice belt to cinch the waist area. However, the print/fabric/silhouette combination made this look a bit cheaper than I was expecting.

Vibrant, beautiful color!
Rented this to wear for my college graduation under my gown - loved the color! So bright and vibrant for a spring ceremony. Great conservative neckline to contrast the bold color. Was expecting more of a matte color, but it was a bit shinier. Runs true to size but intentionally snug fit like most Nicole Miller.

Very tight, especially around the hips - runs narrow there. Wore but was mostly uncomfortable. Will say it is a great color.

Did not end up wearing
Probably my most disappointing RTR rental. The fabric feels and looks much cheaper than in the photo , making the entire dress much more casual than I thought it would be. I am 5'11" and in my early 20s, and the dress was far too short to wear. Would not recommend for anyone with hips either, as it runs very narrow. Did not end up wearing.

Fun, beautiful dress!
Rented this dress for a formal affair last winter (just getting around to reviewing it now), and loved it! Wore it with a tan and some gold bangles (a bit simple, so needs jewelry! I got the items on the model and loved them). Very comfortable and fits true to size. The top is almost corset-like and the boning makes it more interesting than in the picture. Will say that the flare out was a bit awkward, not as natural or flattering on the hips as most fit and flare dresses are - sort of juts out. That said, great, comfortable dress!

Amazing summer birthday dress!!!
LOVED this dress. Wore it for my birthday and everyone loved it. Such a vibrant color and quality, flattering material and shape. Looks amazing with a tan and gold jewelry. I will say - I am a TRUE 4, and I wore a 2 in this dress - fit much better everywhere than the 4 and maybe just the tiniest bit tight on my broad shoulders. Order down for your backup size!

Cute casual dress - nothing special
I loved the color and print on this dress - rented it for a summer evening out in Newport, RI. The fabric was super casual, and overall it just didn't wow me. I am a bit more pear shaped, so it clung to my hips more than I would have liked, and bunched at the stomach. Luckily the belt helped to cinch my waist, but it was still overwhelming. Ran true to size elsewhere.

One of my favorite RTR rentals - EVER!
This dress is so underrated, it is AMAZING! I have already ordered it again for later in the summer. I was worried about it being short (I'm 5'11") but it was fine for a date night of dinner and dancing. The fabric is stretchy but flattering - it really holds you in! Think Herve Leger-esque banding. The flare is a flattering, slimming, and fun touch!

Such a unique, trendy dress!
Wore this dress to a fashion week event, got so many compliments! Such a cool print and the neoprene adds a fun element. Fit true to size and the flare was super flattering. Will say the top part was a bit snug, but I do have broader shoulders. The arms were tight and the neck was high and a bit chaffing. Was still an amazing, memorable dress - would recommend!

Amazingly flattering fit!
I absolutely love this dress, and have rented it twice! It is so flattering, especially for more pear shaped ladies like myself. The length is also great if you are tall - I am 5'11" and the dress fell a few inches above my knee, making it super comfortable to dance around in. A couple things to be aware of: I'm not sure why, but the color and material texture are much different than shown in the photo. The other renters' pictures are more accurate, as the dress is almost canvas in feel (heavier than you'd think), a bit darker of a teal, and not shiny at all. The dress fit true to size on me, although a bit tight in the ribcage - may need to size up if fuller chested.
