Loved the color, the pleats were very distinctive (one other attendee was wearing a different Mac Duggal gown and she recognized this from across the room). I am 5’7” and had 4” heels and I still had to pick the dress up in the front to avoid stepping on it. If you are part of the IBTC then definitely add some padding to your bra because this will definitely look weird on a flat chest. I’m a pretty flat B cup and I wore a bra one cup larger and stuffed gel cutlets in there to fill out the front. Worth it though!

If my torso were about 2-3” shorter then my hips would have been in the right spot for this. Very elegant, but the upper lace material might have gotten itchy after a while.

Was very pretty, husband loved how low cut it was haha. It was actually snug enough up top despite my fairly flat chest - that was a pleasant surprise! I ended up not wearing this choice since it gave more “romantic/wedding guest” vibes rather than what I wanted for a black tie gala for a sports group.

Not a fan of this one. The cutouts are oddly high, so if you have a lean torso or nice hourglass shape it actually hides it (see where my hand is resting on my hip). Also not great for the Itty Bitty Titty Comittee. I’m a fairly flat b cup and this dress definitely needed some C or D action to really fill out the top. Comfy material though

I probably could have gone up one size - the bottom was tight but the bust fit well. Going up a size might have been better for my height and longer torso. Great color - photographs so well (despite my husband’s attempt here haha). Has a little bit of sparkle, a little bit of ball gown fun, easy to move around, and super flattering for your silhouette and shoulders. Wore this to a black tie event in November.

The color and fit were excellent but I just wasn’t a fan of the way the drapey thing fell in the back. I tried this on but went with a different selection. It was super comfortable, and perfect for my size S up top/ size L on the bottom shape.

Perfect for a bachelorette night out in Charleston. I am 5'7" and 145lbs and I was borderline too long in the torso, but definitely had room to spare around the waist of the romper. It has a liner in the shorts which is great for hiding any tightness in the outfit if you are a little tall, and the fact that it's black hides any areas that don't fit exactly perfect. This was a super fun outfit and I got a lot of compliments!

Loved this for a summer bridal shower!! I am 5'7" / 140 lbs and generally have trouble with rompers because I have a long torso but this fit PERFECTLY. Loved it... lightweight, super flattering for your shoulders. You have to wear a strapless bra but the way the fabric is done under the arms it make sure to be high enough to cover a bra band. I loved this and got so many compliments!

Loved this dress!!! I got so many compliments, and the green actually was a little more sage/blue green which ended matching my green eyes. Perfect dress for a long torso, or for someone who feels like their shoulders are one of their best features. The cut out around the arms is a little big, which ends up showing a bit of bra if you lift your arms up a lot. If you were a c or d cup the top is snug enough that you could probably get away without a bra. I'm a b cup so I couldn't get away without a bra. I spent most of the evening holding a drink and a clutch so it wasn't a huge issue for me. Loved loved loved this dress!

Loved the neckline and the length - perfect for a chilly date night on the water in Baltimore. Thick material, I wore the large, but probably would have been ok with a medium. The dress had belt loops but no belt came with it which was a bummer because I think having the belt would have helped where the dress was a little loose around my waist.

I rented this for an after-work event sponsored by an insurance company featuring a prominent government figure. It was conservative to fit the environment but still very stylish and helped me stand out. I wear anywhere from a 4 to a 10 based on designer, material, and cut but the Small fit me perfect. But definitely watch out for the slit up the back!! Weird pose in the photo is meant to illustrate how high it goes. Just don't bend over and you'll be fine haha. Totally would rent this one again!

Great color and design! The fit was true to size but a little funky for someone with a long torso. The "hips" for the dress were about 3 inches too high for me but I wore a jacket with it so it was hard to tell when looking at me. The slit is definitely something you need to be cautious of haha. It wasn't an issue so much when walking but definitely made sure I sat close to the table and kept my napkin in my lap! It was otherwise perfect for an evening work event on a boat in May in DC!

Loved this dress! Perfect for an after-work cocktail event at a trendy new hotel in the city. It DEFINITELY runs small. Normally i wear a 6-8 in pretty much any designer but the 8 was almost too small. The material had a little stretch so that saved me. Kicking myself for forgetting to take pictures!

Loved the color and fit! The material is very light and it wrinkled pretty easily. I rented this for a client dinner and had to drive about 45 minutes to get there and when I got out of the car the dress had pretty deep creases from sitting. Luckily it was in the evening and I had a longer jacket over it. Color was great, and fit was true to what I expected. Was super busy though so sadly no photos!

Rented this for a meeting with a VIP client. It was stylish and conservative and fit true to size. The material is thicker with a good bit of structure so it was prefect for a late fall morning- probably not a great summer dress. Loved it! Was super busy so I didn't get a chance to take a photo, but the color was a little darker than shown which I liked.

Fit perfectly (which I struggle to find in a jacket because I have broad shoulders). There was a snag on the left arm, and the white was a little dingy - but it was only noticeable when placed next to other white clothing items. This paired really well with the Yoana Baraschi dress I rented!

Loved this dress! The pattern is very flattering, and the skirt had enough structure to give it a fuller look and flattering silhouette. Super comfy fabric, with a little bit of stretch. I wore a 6 and it was fitted; if I had a larger bust or broader shoulders I would definitely have gone with an 8. This was perfect for a corporate cocktail reception and dinner.

This dress slayed at my brother's late August country club wedding!! I had so many compliments!!! A simple set of pearls really set it off too, and allowed the dress to be the focal point. I had so many women asking me where I got it, who the designer was, and wanting to take a picture of me so they could go find it for themselves! Some random lady on the practice green even told me I looked "quite snappy." This dress definitely runs LARGE. I wore a 4, and had plenty of room to breathe, and it was not right in the shoulders at all (which is a problem I usually encounter when sizing down). I paired it with a pair of gold heels and pearl earrings and necklace. Even the bride's mother was pointing my dress out to her friends!

This fit true to size... A 6 fit me perfectly. It's a little sheer up top so maybe don't wear a dark teal bra like I did. Very comfortable, lightweight material and the skirt had a nice flowy effect when I walked. I think it was supposed to have a belt, because the dress has belt loops, but it didn't come with a belt so I added my own. Loved it. Perfect for a summer event!

I ordered a size 6, no back up size, and it fit perfectly! I am 5'7" and this dress was definitely pushing the edge of "almost too short"... But it fit everywhere else- in the bust, shoulders and waist, so I think a size 8 would have been longer, but would have been too big everywhere else. It was comfortable, the colors were just as bright as they looked online, and the dress was in great shape. Perfect for a baby shower in August! Loved the new RTR bags... Mine didn't include one of the zipper locks though, so hopefully I don't get surcharged on my return.

Loved the long sleeves! The low cut front still kept it sexy. Medium runs true to size, and I had plenty of room in the chest for my super push up bra from VS. The skirt is a little short, so I had to be conscious of taking smaller strides when we were walking around so that it wouldn't ride up (although my husband certainly wasn't complaining about that). Wore this out to a fancy dinner and Cirque show in Vegas and it was perfect.

Wore this to the Spearmint Rhino (strip club) and casino hopping in Vegas and boy was it a HIT! Ordered a 4 and 6 but wore the 4. The material is very stretchy so it fit my bottom half fine, and the sequins cover up any "imperfections". It was a little snug up top, since I have pretty broad shoulders, but that worked out fine because I ended up not needing a bra. Busty girls might need those adhesive cups, or some petals, but I'm a little on the naturally flat side when I'm not wearing a bra so this dress kept everything in place. You'll feel like you're flirting with a nip slip the whole night but I never had a problem. And walking through the casinos I turned a lot of heads, and had lot of guys offer to let me gamble their money away! My husband (and two friends' husbands) were pretty speechless when I came walking down the hallway in this dress!

Rented a size 6 for a trip to Vegas for a friend's 30th bday. It fit like a glove, with enough room for my super-duper-push-up bra from Victoria's Secret. Loved this dress! I am somewhere between an athletic and hourglass figure but this dress was stretchy where needed, and it wasn't loose in any areas. My husband appreciated that the lace framed my boobs nicely, haha! Loved this dress and would totally rent it again!

This was a Size 6 back up size/back up dress for a Size 4 selection when the original size 6 was returned unwearable. Luckily my original pick size 4 fit, because this dress was way too small! I am an Hourglass on the bottom and more Athletic up top (because life just ain't fair sometimes haha) and about 5'7" and this dress was snug in the bust and waaaayyy tight and short in the skirt. No amount of spanx was going to make that happen! It was very cute... But order one or two sizes up!
