Really flattering
I actually didn't intentionally rent this dress, but I'm glad I got to try it on because I probably wouldn't have picked it on my own and it was really pretty. The backup size I had rented for another dress was returned to RTR damaged, so they sent me this one as an alternative, and I really loved how it looked and felt. Sadly, the 4P was too small on me (I couldn't even get it close to zipped - and really, the P was too short with heels). I would definitely keep this on my list for another event in the future. Thanks, RT, for helping me branch out a little bit.

"I wish I could wear it every day."
That's what I said to my husband at the end of the night - this dress was so great. It felt great on, and I loved how flowy it was (great for dancing), and the colors were just perfect. It is pretty long though, as others have mentioned. I ended up wearing 3 inch heels with about a 1 inch platform, and this was just slightly dragging on the floor -- not so much that it was in the way, it was more in a "does she have feet under there?" sort of thing. The one issue I had with it was that where the skirt part meets the bodice the zipper would stick pretty bad (not an issue of sizing, mostly just that one spot). I had to put it on with the back in the front, zip it as far as I could past that spot and then spin it around and finish getting it on. I'd definitely suggest getting a size up as a backup just in case.

Pretty!
I got this as a backup dress for my sister-in-law's wedding. Sadly I didn't get a picture, since I didn't end up wearing it out. I ended up getting the smallest size, after seeing other reviews, and it definitely worked. If you're having this shipped to a hotel, bring an extra belt with you just in case the belt doesn't come with it (mine did). The length wasn't too long in the back for me - would have been totally fine with some short heels. Overall, I would definitely get this one again, knowing how nice it looked.

Love, love, love!
I got so many compliments on this dress, and it was so comfortable and fun to dance in. I found the top part to be super flattering, and I was worried with it being lace that the strapless bra I had planned to wear might not work - but luckily the fabric underneath covered enough that I didn't have any issues. I'd totally recommend this dress.

Loved it!
This dress was great! Light enough for an outdoor summer party, and the fabric was really comfortable. Loved the bow pattern on it, and it was totally my style. I wore a belt with it, just so my waistline didn't get totally lost (sometimes A-line dresses just do that on me). Absolutely would recommend this one.

Definitely my style
It went well with my dress, and was totally my style. I will say, this was much lighter than I was expecting. I thought it would be solid metal, but they were just very thin pieces (which was good that it didn't feel very heavy, but it also kind of felt a bit cheaper that I would have expected). This is the first time I've rented something other than a dress, so maybe that's just how these go.

Very pretty
The first thing I noticed when I took both sizes out of the garment bags was that the fabric on each was different. They were both bright blue lace, but the pattern of the flowers on the size 4 was more spaced out, and the size 6 was closer and also had some white in it (you can see the comparison in the third picture). I thought that was kind of strange, but not a deal breaker. I ended up wearing the larger size since it was warmer out than I was anticipating and the liner on this is pretty solid so I wanted a bit more breathing room. I would suggest wearing a belt with this, since the pattern and style together can be a bit overwhelming, and I found that my shape got a little lost. But, I got a lot of compliments on it, and would totally recommend this one - just maybe when it's a little cooler out.

Super classy, and still comfortable
I rented this for a movie premier and after party, and it was perfect! This is very fitted, and has a good bit of structure so it ended up being more flattering than I was expecting. Sheath style dresses are normally a bit to straight for my body and just look strange - this didn't! It was also a bit shorter than I was expecting but still looked great. With those two things in mind, this isn't really a dress you want to be sitting in all night (it bunches a bit, and rides up) - so I wouldn't really advise this for a sit down event. It's really comfortable as well, and I didn't have any issues with the sequins rubbing my arms in the wrong way (I was a bit worried about that). It did snag a couple of times on random things, so I don't really think this is something you want to wear a bunch of jewelry with. I got a size 4 and a size 6 - they were actually really close. I ended up wearing the size 4 just because it look a bit more structured because it as a bit tighter (not in a too-small kind of way).
