Stunning print, small in the bust
I so wanted this dress to work. It's such a flattering style, the material is perfectly flowy and the print is gorgeous! I sized up based on the reviews and because I have a large chest (36DD-DDD). Unfortunately, this dress did not zip over my chest so I wasn't able to wear it. If you have a large chest, size up and proceed with caution. Will try this again in the future... :)

So wanted this dress to work!
This dress is absolutely stunning! It's even more beautiful in person. The fabric is a bit heavy and has a beautiful burn-out type of pattern which gives it a bit of a retro/vintage feel. I've rented ML dresses before and it is definitely best to size up if you have any type of a bust. I'm a 36DD and even the size up was way too tight. Such a bummer because this dress is stunning but difficult for anyone with a larger bust. RTR was fantastic as always and sent me not one but two replacement dresses overnight.

Beautiful but no wiggle room
RTR sent this to me when one of my dresses wasn't returned in proper condition from the previous renter (a risk with RTR) and it was gorgeous. Its lining is fitted, however, so it only appears to be flowy. I would size up if you are in between sizes or don't want to be too constricted. Gorgeous dress!

Beautiful but order up if you have a large bust
This dress is gorgeous and so flowy in person! It fits pretty true to size but I wasn't able to wear it because the bust was too small (I'm a 36DD) and the next size up wasn't available. Will definitely size up for the next one - it's gorgeous!

Great color, pretty lace but was a little disappointing.
I rented this for my engagement party and I so wanted to love it. The color and lace are beautiful but the style was just a little too plain once on. I am a 36DD and the neckline was too low on me--I didn't feel comfortable showing as much cleavage as it revealed. The dress definitely looks more casual in person than in the photo. Will try a different yellow lace dress next time. RTR was great, as always, about the credit!

Show stopper!! You'll feel like a fabulous disco ball!
I wore this to a holiday party and felt so beautiful in it!! I wore it with opaque black tights and black suede wedges. This dress was so comfortable and I felt really confident in it, despite it being very form-fitting. I have a large chest and this fit me properly without smashing my chest. A great option for any body type. Everyone was drooling over the dress all night!

I felt like a beautiful glass of Champagne! Amazing dress!!!
I was a little nervous at first because it looked a little small in the bust (I'm a 36DD) but it fit perfectly and was even a little loose around the waist and hips but not so loose it looked odd. I wore it with fun gold earrings, black tights and black wedges which really made the dress pop. I felt amazing in this dress and got stares and compliments and shrieks all night...I highly recommend this dress!!

Perfect fit--felt like a beautiful Studio 54 Queen! :)
Great fit! Such a stunning dress, even more beautiful in person. I needed to wear a bra with clear straps because the back was pretty low and wide but the clear straps worked perfectly. It was a great dancing dress and I felt so comfortable and beautiful in it. HIGHLY recommend it!

Beautiful dress, poor fit.
This is such a beautiful dress and I so wanted to love it but it just didn't work for me. The waist fit true to size and the skirt was beautiful and flowy. The problem for me was the bust and shoulder strap. I'm a 36DD and was therefore concerned about the fit. The cups were actually too big and the strap too long, causing it to look like I needed it shortened about 2 inches. Another bummer was that the padding in the bust was visible through the material. While it was great to have a cup and boning, I think the material itself was a little too gauzy which allowed the cup to show through. RTR was great, though. I was able to return it the next day and got a credit. Will definitely try my luck again!
