This was my "something borrowed" :)
I wore this at my wedding after finding it on the RTR website-- I was amazed at how similar it was to one that I'd been eyeing from Vera Wang (which was $100 more, and yes, I'd own it, but when else are you going to wear a veil?) It arrived a few days before the big day so I could make sure it worked with my dress. It was perfect! Made my life so much easier, one less thing to worry about leading up to the wedding! Everyone joked that it was my something borrowed!

This dress is like whoa
Such a fun and unique dress! Really flattering and you can wear a bra with it which is a plus. Two main issues: it is LONG. I'm short but with heels most long dresses are fine to wear, this really dragged on the floor. The other issue is that although the cut outs are gorgeous and really make the dress, because of the missing back you can't wear spanks. So if you get a little bhudda belly from eating too much dessert at the event you're going to you will be sucking in ALL NIGHT. Otherwise loved it though!!

Obsessed
This dress is awesome , gorgeous and unique and flattering especially if you have a small waist but big hips because it flares out right after the belly button. The only thing I will say is that if you're petite, it's long, I wore the 0R and I'm 5'2 and I had to hold it up when I was on the dance floor to keep from stepping on it. Also, if you're chesty watch out because you really cannot wear a bra with it. Definitely runs big though, so make sure you size down! I'm a 2 and the 0 fit like a glove

Super versatile and flattering!
Loved this dress! Very comfy but still really slimming and flattering. I was even able to wear a t-back sports bra with it, no strapless needed. The top half of the dress was a tiny bit frayed but really not at all noticeable. The only thing I would say is that it does run pretty big. I'm usually a 4 and even the 2 was a little roomy.

Nice dress for a professional event
The dress fit really well but I ended up not being able to attend the event I rented it for. The material was also not as nice as it looked online.

Best dress I've ever worn, hands down.
The dress was everything I wanted it to be and more. I would maybe consider buying it even though it costs more than my monthly rent. People kept coming up to me all night to tell me what a great dress it was-- my fiance, friends, other wedding guests and even random people in our hotel elevator. I posted the picture on Facebook and I immediately got a dozen texts and messages from people wanting to know where I'd gotten in. As most people have said, it does run a little snug (I'm usually between a 2 and a 4 and the 4 was perfect) so go a size up in doubt for sure. When you get the right fit, it hugs your body so well it'll show off curves you never even knew you had. I felt statuesque and sexy, like Joan from Mad Men. The only other hitch is that it does run a teeny bit shorter than you'd think-- I'm 5'2 and had 2inch heels on and it hung just over the floor. In flats it would have been perfect, but flats are for ballet dancers and children. Get the long if you're over 5'3 and plan to wear heels for sure. But seriously-- rent this dress!
