I would rent this again in a heartbeat! The fit was nice - loose enough for my wider hips but in the corduroy fabric it has enough shape to be flattering. I sized up to the medium after reading reviews about the length, and I’m glad I did. It was too short to wear without tights on me, and I’m only 5’6”. I had enough room to layer a tee (pic) and a black turtleneck bodysuit on different occasions. Got lots of compliments too!

I took a chance on this because the print and color are gorgeous, but the fit was awful for me. The thick smocked band at the waist combined with the high neckline emphasized my bust oddly. I didn’t wear this.

This photo is silly but it shows my favorite part of the dress - the fit! Modest yet va-va-voom! *NOTE* I did wear one size up in this style due to the fabric, and although I'm hardly 5'6", the 42L just barely touched the floor with 2" heels. I wore a strapless bra, seamless standard underwear and Spanx. I have severe eczema and leading up to this event, I knew I needed a modest style that would hide my healing yet still visible outbreak. I'm 25 and I didn't want to wear my grandma's dress either. :) RTR to the rescue!

I'm not much for bold prints, but this dress caught my eye and I rented it for a semi-formal work awards ceremony. I have never had so many compliments on a dress! The fit is divine: figure hugging but a thick, forgiving fabric. I have a pretty hourglass shape and the pattern is perfect for accentuating your curves or creating them. I wore a regular bra and it didn't show all night, even though the neckline is pretty low. The pop of neon at the bust is a great touch. The dress hit me just above the knee. LOVED IT!

Loved this dress! The color is divine and the cut is great: decent amount of cleavage, not too tight under the arms, and the cutout in the back got lots of compliments. Definitely size down for your backup- I ended up wearing the 2 instead of my usual 4 and it was still pretty loose around the waist. That ended up being just fine after dinner & dancing! Front length was just above the knee on me (5'6"). Beautiful and appropriate dress for a fall/winter wedding.

In a sea of black gowns, this beautiful blue made an impression. The color was perfect with my silver accessories & the regular length was great on 5'6'' me with 2 1/2 inch heels. I have a really small ribcage so the size 2 would have been a better fit if the off-the-shoulder sleeves weren't so tight. I managed to get some dancing in at the event's after party, but as other reviews have noted, the sleeves are restrictive. All in all, highly recommended dress!!! Gorgeous and made me feel amazing!
