The most wonderful dress!!!
This dress could not have fit more perfectly. It was like it had been made for me. I wore this for a black tie auction event that I organized, and received compliments every time I ran into someone I knew... which was virtually all the time. The dress is truly an elegant showstopper that was perfect for hosting a gala. The 6L worked perfectly with the 3-4" heels I wore for the night.

Perfect fit for a dress that made me feel like a queen!
This is an amazing dress. I received compliments all night long. It was my backup dress for my original order, and it was so perfect that I ended up wearing it! The embroidered fabric is thick and warm - perfect for a chilly winter night at a gala. The dress also has pockets, which was exactly what I needed; I was the event organizer and needed to carry my phone and a walkie talkie with me at all times. My only problem was that I rented the 6L instead of the 6R. Even with 3-4" heels, the dress still completely touched the ground, so it was sometimes a little hard to walk in. That's my own fault for ordering it, though! Otherwise, a stunning dress that I would buy if I had the money.

Beautiful gown suited for the red carpet
This was my second backup dress after my original order changed. I didn't wear this one because it was also my backup size, so it was too large for me. However, based on the feel of the 8L, the 6L would probably have been a bit small for me. That said, the fabric was lovely and thick. The shape was very pretty, and the back of the dress was pretty stunning. Would consider renting this dress as my primary dress for another occasion.

Elegant & fun - I received compliments all night long!
The dress was almost a perfect fit (otherwise, I'd give it 5 stars without question). I have narrow hips and a thin waist, so the dress was a little large in those general areas. However, the fit in the chest and the length were perfect. I wore 2" heels with the dress, and that was all I needed. The dress was overall a huge success. I wore this to a black tie affair, and people I didn't even know came up to me to tell me how much they liked it. The back of the dress is fun and sexy and probably my favorite part. It's a gorgeous piece, and even though it didn't quite fit in the hips, I think I was the only one who noticed. It certainly didn't seem to show up in any photos from the event. Definitely wish I could have kept this dress - it's my favorite piece I've rented from RTR so far!

Beautiful dress! Perfect for a summer wedding.
Wore this to my good friend's wedding. It is a beautiful print, and is a little more pink than it appears in the picture, but I think it added to the overall appeal of the dress. I was initially a little worried that it might not fit my bust very well, but I didn't have a single problem -- not too tight anywhere. It's comfortable enough to move around in (as in, lots and lots of dancing at the reception), and I received many compliments while wearing it.

Great fit! Stretchy so it hugs curves well, and comfortable to move in. Runs large, so size down.
I wore this to a senior gala at my college, and received so many compliments throughout the evening. It hugged every curve perfectly and even though I was worried that it might be tight enough that it would show off underwear lines, the material is thick enough and the ruching is good enough that they don't show at all. I originally ordered a medium, but it was definitely too large. Good thing I decided to get the small as a backup, because it was a perfect fit. It's very comfortable, too; I was dancing in it the whole night long.
