Wore as a wedding dress
I wore this beautiful dress at our small, intimate wedding ceremony. I had another dress in mind but when it arrived it smelled like body odor. I immediately contacted RTR and selected another dress; they allowed me to select a dress for 2x the price of the original and I paid the difference of $15. I never thought of wearing this dress because the rental fee was higher than I budgeted, so when I was scouring the website to hurry and pick another that was my size and available, this looked like the one. It arrived the next day, just in time, and fit perfectly! I noticed other reviewers didn't have a great experience, I on the other hand did. I am not curvy but like to hide "bumps" so this was perfect. I usually wear a 14 Regular, so 14W can sometimes be too big in the hips and bust for me. I really thought this dress was beautiful and appreciate RTR's excellent customer service and promptness.

Beautiful sparkley dress
This was a beautiful dress that definitely hides the bumps. It is fairly heavy with all the sequins and is scratchy under the arms. I like that this one dress looks great on anyone from a size 0-22. If you are attending a formal event, this might be a nice dress if you like sequins!

This dress photographs well
When I first took this dress out of the bag I thought it looked like curtains at my Grandma's house - it is not true white, it is off-white or cream. I put it on and my attitude improved. I wore it to a dinner function and it was loose fitting on me (I'm normally a 14Reg) and comfortable, no need for spanx! It was fitting for a summer evening when the weather was slightly less hot. I did think it ran long and sat below my knees; I am 5'7".

Great dress worn at my Bachelorette!
I really liked this dress. I wore spank underneath to "smooth" things out because it does cling a bit; it's that stretchy material but it is forgiving with all that print. It photographed well and I received a bunch of compliments. This is one I would have liked to keep! Definitely plan to wear with a racer-back bra to avoid straps showing.

Comfortable and adorable that hides any flaws
I rented this dress as a second option to wear to my Bridal Shower. I didn't want to end up with no options if either didn't fit... well they both fit so my only struggle was deciding which to wear! I chose to wear the other dress to my Bridal Shower but wore this when going out for dinner that night. It was comfortable and I loved the color - perfect for a summer's night. The pockets were a fun addition. I thought about wearing a belt because I didn't want to look like I was wearing a bag, but didn't feel comfortable or think it looked just right. I thought it looked just fine without the belt and it photographed really well, especially in the evening sunlight! I'm not really that tan, it's just the way the sun hit and made the dress "glow." I would definitely recommend this to ladies with olive or tan skin! Overall a great dress.

Fun and flirty dress that hides any flaws
I wore this dress to my Bridal Shower. I actually rented two dresses because I didn't want to end up with no options if either didn't fit... well they both fit so my only struggle was deciding which to wear! The other dress was coral, so I wore that in the evening when we went out to dinner. Since it is a 'W' fit, the chest ran a little bit since I have a smaller chest. The overall fit was nice and flattering. I wore nude colored spanx underneath to smooth out everything that I probably didn't need but it helped me feel confident and comfortable. Very happy with this rental!

Great dress with a wrap around that flatters!
This was my first RTR rental, so I chatted with a rep before I settled on a size. I opted for a size 10 with a backup of an 8. The 10 was a bit snug but spanx did the trick, every ladies secret! Next time I would probably order a size up from my pants size, since I know dresses run small for the most part. FYI: I wouldn't recommend this dress for anyone with a large bust, as it was tightest in this area. I wore this dress to a friend's wedding and received many compliments! The only part of the dress that got annoying was out on the dance floor; the material near the bust was flipping inside out and the "sleeve" was falling down. I'm sure some tape would have done the trick to secure these areas. I am 5'7" and I thought the length was perfect. It was loose in the thigh area, easy for moving around on the dance floor. Overall a great dress! I was nervous about renting without trying on prior, but it really worked out for me.
