Here are the takeaways
The straps are too thin for the weight of the dress so they really dig into the skin. Something weird around the rib cage area, everything was great but that was a little tight. The dress is gorgeous but it’s a more indoor kind of dress because it gets hot fast. I was sweating like crazy walking from parking into the space. I would still rent it again. I still looked great.

Stunning dress
I felt like it had some give and would have worn a small but the medium gave me room to eat as much as I wanted. The sequins scratch the heck out of your armpits. I have had a few sequin dresses from ETE scratch me but this one was quite painful. All in all great dress, fits to size and you will get compliments galore.

Beautiful dress and really shows out the right curves.
I usually wear 4 and sometimes even a 2 however this dress the 6 was still tight on my hoods and shoulders. If you have ample breasts and wide shoulders size up. I would definitely rent again. It was lovely but hard to dance in. Plenty of compliments.

GORGEOUS DRESS
PROS Heavy material for cool weather Gorgeous dress. Standout dress be ready to be the center of attention. You don't need a bra, the dress holds everything together. CONS The reviews are right it runs small I usually wear a Small, I didn't bother trying it Rent a size up. I needed my husband to zip me up, no way can one do this on their own. I dressed it back side front and I was able to zip it but boobs will spill. It fit well from waist down but loose on the shoulders. It kept sliding.

Gorgeous Dress
I am 5,3 and weigh 131 pounds. I didn't need to wear a bra the dress really holds everything in. I did need help to zip it as I couldn't do it on my own. It kept me warm on a cold night thanks to its long sleeves design. It's a beautiful dress but couldn't really show it off how I wanted to because it was COLD. Loved the sparkles and definitely a winner in my book. I gave it a 4 star because it was riding up a lot and also showed the turned side of the inside of the dress which wasn't cute.

Pros Beautiful color Beautiful style Beautiful in photos and the shimmer is not over the top Great dress and quite an attention grabber Cons Too stretched in the bottom I could fit in both small and medium but small didn't leave much room for me to stuff my face and belly and the medium was too stretched out and looked just okay.

Great quality
I wanted to truly love this dress... it punched up a whole lot.. it's cut weirdly and the sleeves are ridiculous. I have to tape them down and pin them so they could fit. The design is beautiful and the heaviness and feel of the fabric is incredible.. however if you are not petite up top don't bother but good if you have an hour glass figure .. it defines the waist and butt however it will bunch up a lot and do all sorts of weird stuff. I got away with wearing the medium.. small for but way too snug. I wouldn't rent it if I have other options however the theme was pastel colors in this palette and pearls and I didn't have anything in my wardrobe nor many options on the site.

First time renting accessories.. loved the packaging. This piece was great for what I need a bridal shower with pastel colors and pearls as the theme. It worked out perfectly however it is getting old and might be time to put it on sale. Would rent again if I needed pearls

AMAZING
Pros . Beautiful dress! Loads of compliments . Fabric has some stretch . Fits to size . Has lining and it's velvety .No need for a Bra my boobs were intact . True showstopper .if you have issues with lots of cleavage showing this might not be a dress for you. . Wore both the S and M on Friday and Saturday I had two events with two different crowds so that was plus for me. Both fit perfectly. Cons . Scratches the heck out of your things especially when having to go to the rest room. I look like I had a fight with a feline animal and it won. However I would rent again.. worth ever cut I have on me. . Wore the M for a second event and the bust area was quite stretched by someone with ample boobs.

AMAZING!
I have nothing but great things to share about this dress. I rented it for an all white party and did not dissappoint. I got so many compliments. Its sexy, fun and forgiving for a white dress because of the details. I normally wear a medium with this brand as i love their silhoutte ( dress the population) and normally both small and medium fit but with this one the small still had a lot of stretch in it. I could have worn an XS easy. I didnt wear a bra i could have gone without but i used pasties. I would rent it over and over again! Remarkable dress.. i am 5.4 and the length was fine as i wore super high heels with the dress. Rent it ! You wont regret it!

Sequin Show..
Pros: Beautiful colour, amazing pattern and details, warm for a cold January night. Comfy, does not ride up even with crazy dancing! Both small and medium fit perfect. As usual i went with the medium because i didnt want to suck my tummy in and i was going to be drinking and eating all night. Did not wear a bra. Cons: Shoulders area is loose so felt like I was adjusting my shoulders alot.

Fab dress!
Great fit as usual both small and medium fit but wore the medium as it was a super cold night and decided to wear tights. No bra needed. Has sole good stretch to it. Its a lovely lovely dress. Lots of compliments. Cameras and photos really dont do this dress justice becasue it is gorgeous. I would definitely rent it again.

All that Glitter is indeed Gold
Great fit! Both small and medium were great on me. Heavy dress, gorgeous color definitely a fall dress as it is super warm. It was perfect for the cold day we had the event . I didn't wear a bra as the design keeps everything held up. The only issue is I had to keep pulling the shoulders up, totally forgot to use tape so kept adjusting but not a major issue. Fabulous dress. Lots and lots and lots of compliments ... Would love to own it.

Felt like a queen
I ordered 2 and 4 long both fit me perfectly but because I wanted to eat and dance all night I needed more room so went with the 4. Otherwise both are true to size. It's a heavy dress so not for a summer event .. I have rented the green version of this and I knew what I was getting an amazing gown fit for a queen. Normal bra worn.. loads of compliments.. the train is long so be careful not to trip on it.. I wore very high heels which am comfortable in. If you are 5,4 and below height wise know the long is long and you will have to wear high shoes so as not to trip on the gown . I got a ton of compliments. I love love RTR ! F

Always makes my events magical
Pros: Always delivers on time Dress is exceptional and the image and pictures don't do it justice. It's absolutely gorgeous It has some stretch so I could have worn either the S or the M they both fit well but the medium was a bit loose of my 34C boobs It's a show stopper You don't have to keep pulling the dress down because it doesn't ride up I didn't wear any bra or use double sided tape! It was perfect. Cons The sequins can be scratchy but I was having so much fun I didn't pay any mind to it.

Seamless ordering and fits that make my world shine!
Ordered the small and medium as usual .. wore the medium because I love to eat but small was perfect too...It has plenty of stretch.. the hem peeked out and it seems that this is an issue with the saylor brand.. used double sided tape.. didn't wear a bra.. elegant fit. I have never ever received compliments with a dress like this and I order all my dresses for RTR! We went out to dinner with my hubby and literally heads were turning. I had kids say " mum she is sparkling ".. I had men.. women.. young and old.. straight and gay men and women stop at our table to compliment me. We even got someone send a bottle of wine to us.. I will be getting this dress again! I felt like a celebrity .. it got to a point I couldn't even go to the bathroom because of the stares!! I got a couple of people ask me where they could buy it! Thanks RTR my birthday weekend was a blast. Get this dress. If you don't like attention don't get it because I got so so much attention if I had attention issues they were fixed lol.

Ease of ordering and return... perfection!
This is an absolute stunning dress! I rented it for my 38th birthday. The small also fit but I was planning to stuff my face so decided to wear the medium. I did not wear a bra I just used double sided tape. It's a lovely dress for a cool night out. It keeps you warm. The downside is the hem in the back was peeking out so I had to use double sided tape to hide it. Also it had a tear in the front of the medium size dress but it was not noticeable. Thank you RTR for making my birthday a fun superb experience.

Wasn't my first choice yet RTR was prompt and there for me when the other gown was damaged. Kudos
Pros Gorgeous color Do not need a bra or undergarments Great length and gives curves where they are none I did not have any rubbing on the sequins as I went one size up since the 2 was perfect but the dress has boning that wasn't comfy for me and I wanted to dance and eat without restrictions I wore the regulator length though the long looked better with super high shoes I got so many compliments! Cons This dress has made its round the sequins are coming off and it looks little worn If you are 5,4 and are wearing super high heels rent the long it covers the shoes better.

I did not receive it. RTR you need to remove as a rental option in sizes 2 &4 and make a note of it
I wanted to wear this gown but a few days before my shipping Date I was informed they would not be able to ship it. RTR guest service is always helpful and I was able To get something to wear.

I love the new bag! And as usual my dress arrived on time. Love the first class service of RTR.
Pros Fun color, it's quite green, the picture on the model doesn't quite show the color right.its a lovely lovely dress and I got the 2 and 0 and they both fit well but I was going to stuff my face and wanted some room for my belly so I went with the 2. I usually rent a size 2 or 4 but for this dress after reading the reviews realized it runs somewhat big especially if you are not curvy. Cons The sequins scratched a little but nothing major If the sequins didn't lie flat they tended to give the dress a look like it had missing sequins in different parts. But I would rent this dress again. It was excellent.

Pros No need for spanx, the bandage dress holds everything in. It's gorgeous and you can't go wrong with a Herve leger. Be prepared to get lots and lots of compliments Didn't wear a bra! Held my boobies in place. Cons It was stretched out, I could fit in the XS but needed room because I was going to stuff my face and drink all night.

Rent this!
Didn't get to wear the dress to the charity event due to illness, but it's a gorgeous dress and I can't wait to rent it for another function . The picture shows me trying it out when it was delivered and I bleed from small cuts all down my arm from where the sequins scratched me. I am not exaggerating with stating that this dress is absolutely amazing but I was cut up bad. Not sure I would last hours in it but am willing to rent it to see how I would deal with it for hours. I would have worn the 2 since I fit in it if I wanted to be super sexy. The 4 would have been more appropriate for the charity event I was scheduled for. This dress has no give or stretch so size up if you baton heavy. You need to be skinny and lean to pull it off really well like the model. Straps were falling off even with me trying it out .. Use tape.

Loved this dress.. I wore the XS or 38 and it fit perfectly. I had so many people stop me to ask me about it. If you don't like attention don't get this dress. The sequins will rub a little. Overall it's an amazing dress. Make sure you wear it before doing your hair and make up there is no zip.

This is my second time ordering and wearing this dress. It's always a hit and makes me feel special. I ordered the 2 and 4 and I have lost some weight so the 3 fit perfect though the 4 was great too. The sequins can tend to scratch a little but not too bad. I love love this dress and. I want to own it. Thank you RTR for always making me look and feel like a millions bucks.

I received soooo many compliments ... The dress was stunning. Guest service was exceptional.
I am 5.4, 128 pounds and I wore the 2L I am usually a size 4 but the 2 fit perfectly. I can honestly say it fits true to your size. I could have worn the 4 too but it wasn't hugging my curves like the 2.The dress has a small train in the back and it flows amazing when you walk. The long was also made perfect with the 4 inch heels I wore with it. I would suggest if you are 5.4 and up and intend to wear high heels go with the L since the regular looks weird with the shoes showing in the front and a train in the back. The sequins did rub my armpits but not too badly for me to give less stars to my review.. I would definitely rent this dress again. I received Soo many compliments and I was told I was the best dressed female at the wedding.
