Glamorous (plus your butt will look amazing)
I worn this to a formal wedding and I just felt amazing the whole time. The color is rich and beautiful. The cut is very flattering and really accentuated my curves. Plus it felt pretty comfortable the whole time. I received lots of compliments in this one.

Lovely material, but not as structured as I hoped
I rented this for a week day baby shower, so I also wore it to work. The navy textured material was very rich and high quality, but the shape just didn't do much for me. It was a silhouette outside my normal style, so maybe it was just me. I thought there would be a little more volume, but the skirt just hanged. While I didn't find it to be a special rental, my little niece did call it a "princess twirling skirt" so maybe others like it better.

Cute, comfortable, easy to wear
The belted waist on this is very flattering. I go back and forth between a size 8 and 10 usually. The 8 fit perfect, so I'd say it runs slightly large, but nothing extreme. I almost never wear black, but made the except for this since I loved the piping. It was so comfortable and flattering. When the best dressed gay man in the room compliments you, you know it was a successful rental.

So special and flattering
This romper is everything a RTR rental should be. Unique, fashion forward, high quality. I've rented may times in the past, but I've never been as sad as this to send an item back. The tailoring does amazing things for your waist. And the shorts are a great length. Being a 32G I wasn't surprised a cami was needed under the deep V. Those with a little less on top should be able to get away without one. I'm between a medium and a large usually. Only the medium was a available and I decided to risk it. While it didn't looked too tight, it did feel constricted. But I was still comfortable all day in it. If I had had the large I think I would have worn that. So I'd say it's true to size, but go up if you are in between like me. You won't regret this rental.

Beautiful, but don't plan to move a lot
I wore this to a rehearsal dinner. It is really a unique and gorgeous dress. Really did great things for my curves. However as mentioned in other reviews, you will not be able to lift your right arm or walk at a speed more than "leisurely".

Such a happy, stand out of a dress
After my original dress was damaged, I picked this out at the last minute of the few remaining dresses for a May wedding. I was so nervous because I don't normal wear strapless or yellow. But I could not have been happier. The color is amazing. Such a bright, cheerful color. And the textured heavier material saves it from being to casual. I received so many compliments and the fuller skirt is so fun to dance in. The pockets let me keep my red lipstick and a camera with me all day and night. The dress is very well made. And the boning inside means you will not be pulling it up / adjusting all night (although by hour 13 it was starting to dig in a little...a small price to pay). If you are on the fence go for it. You still stand out...in exactly the way every girl hopes.

Fun, flattering, and easy to wear
I rented this for a bachelorette party for which I was required to wear black....and I never wear black (I don't so much as own a black cardigan). Even though I found the color boring, I think the cut of this romper was interesting enough to make the outfit still feel special. It was my first romper and I wasn't sure how flattering it would be (or easy to go to the bathroom), but it was great. There is boning inside which helped give a nice shape (although by the end of the evening I was happy to get that off). My only issue was that it was a little bigger than ideal. If I had had the 8, it would have been perfect.

So gorgeous, but v snug!
I didn't actually wear this dress. I normally would have ordered a L, but it wasn't available and the RTR girl who took my call thought the M would work for me. Alas, the M was way too tight for polite company. That being said the dress is even better looking in person and I'm anxiously waiting another occasion to order the L for.

Not quite what I pictured
This dress isn't bad at all, just not special either. In person the color appears to be pretty much black (my least favorite color). Unless under really bright lighting the green doesn't show through. Also I was expecting the embossed detailing to be leather-like but its really just a shiny material. The cut is flattering and true to size, but for me there are just many dresses that are more special than this. One other thing to note - the neckline is lower cut than expected. I'm a 34G, so this may not be a problem for everyone that wears the dress. However I was a little uncomfortable with the view I was giving everyone at a co-worker's wedding.
