Beautiful dress!
This dress has a beautiful color and nice thick fabric. My only problem was somehow it seemed to cling to my lower midsection in an unflattering way. Other than that though fit was perfect!

Gorgeous dress, but had a few issues
The color and sparkle of this dress was amazing and I received many compliments throughout the night from strangers. However, if you don't have a perfectly flat stomach this dress clings to everything rather than drape nicely as I was expecting. I bought last-minute spanx which made it passable. I also couldn't tell much of a difference in fit between the 4 and 6, both seemed equally tight in the body but the arms were a little loose on me in the 6. Definitely get the long size if you are 5'7" or more. This length was perfect with 3 inch heels. Also, there was a small bump on the left hip where the zipper meets the lining of the dress that stuck out and was unflattering, and I felt I had to constantly adjust. Unfortunately the 4 had a few noticeable sequin bald spots on the front so I couldn't wear it, and the zipper thing was still a problem anyway although not as bad. Overall fun to wear and you definitely stand out in the crowd, but it wasn't the perfect dress I was hoping for.

Beautiful colors, perfect fit!
I got so many compliments on this dress. It fit perfectly, and hides any insecurities you might have in your stomach. The color is amazing and perfect for a spring or summer wedding. I could have worn either the 2 or the 4, but ultimately went with the 4 for a more relaxed fit in the top. One of my favorite rentals!

Beautiful color and style!
Was a little tight around the ribcage but looked beautiful on. Loved the pockets too!

Gorgeous colors, body hugging
I rented this for a friend very similar to my size to wear and she looked beautiful in it. If your butt is on the larger side though it might come off sexier looking than you would want, so beware! Would recommend sizing up as it does run snug.

Beautiful shift dress, but wasn't flattering on me
Color was gorgeous and overall very pretty. I felt it didn't quite hang right on my body and I felt like it made me look bigger than most dresses, so I wasn't quite as confident wearing this as I usually am with RTR dresses. This would look better on someone with fewer curves. On me though, it just felt like my midsection looked larger because the fabric hung a few inches off my back due to my larger butt.

Beautiful fabric and style
Really beautiful dress. RTR was unable to send me my backup size 4 because it had been returned damaged, and I didn't like my other dress choice they let me pick for backup, so I wore my usual size 2. It fit but was tight around my ribcage. I would have been more comfortable in a 4, so I would recommend sizing up for your backup size. Otherwise though it's really flattering. It really hides any problem areas you might have with your lower stomach. The silk fabric feels so nice and the print is gorgeous. Really enjoyed wearing this!

Did not like how this looked, didn't wear it
The fit was good, but with the shimmer and poof in the skirt I felt a bit like a cupcake. It seemed bigger in the skirt than it looks in the picture. My boyfriend wasn't a fan, but his mom adored it. I am sure some people would like this style but it just wasn't for me.

Great dress!
Fit was flattering, fabric had a nice shimmer to it. I think this is really nice for fall or winter if you add black tights and boots with heels. I wore this to a bridal shower but it would also work well for a wedding. Overall, I would recommend!

Very flattering fit!
Beautiful color and style. Hugs your curves in all the right places. Material is slightly stretchy and soft. Perfect for an outdoor farm wedding!

Very tight!
Definitely size up on this one if you have curves. I typically wear a 2 in most dresses, but for this a 4 was way too tight. The 6 was sold out so I couldn't get it as a back-up size. You might also want to avoid if you have a butt/thighs. I could barely bend over or sit in this dress, I was worried it might bust at the seams! Also maybe reconsider if you don't have a perfectly flat stomach as this dress shows everything in that area.

Very pretty!
Very pretty earrings! Sadly I didn't get to wear them since the dress I rented didn't work out and I had to return, but they were really great especially for the rental price. Would definitely recommend!

Great dress for a wedding!
Great dress! The color was very vibrant which I liked. The sleeves were nice for a cool summer outdoor evening wedding, although as others have mentioned the sleeves were a bit tight especially at the bottom near the forearms. Nice stretchy material that conformed to my body but not skin tight which I liked. Easy to dance in, didn't ride up. Overall highly recommend!

Beautiful color and style!
This dress was gorgeous on. I wore it to a summer wedding and got so many compliments. The fit was excellent standing up, but the 2 was bit short and tight around the legs when sitting down. The 4 was too baggy in the waist/chest area though and wasn't worth the extra room sitting down. Overall I loved this dress, I think it would be flattering on anyone!
