Great dress with some caveats

First of all, be advised that this dress is not vanity sized. Order at least one size up, if not two. I'm usually a 2 dress in the brands I wear day to day - J Crew, BR, Loft, etc - and in this dress I should have been a 6. The 6 wasn't available, though, so I got a 4 and an 8; I'm wearing the 4 in the picture, and you can see it's a bit snug. That said, though, the dress is very well made, very comfortable, and flexible with a very flattering fabric; I could have worn the 8 and I don't think anyone would have really noticed it was too big. So, with all that in mind, I definitely recommend it! I will echo the other reviewers, though, that the neckline wire was all messed up and kind of folded down, which was annoying.

Polishes nicely

Say what you will about RTR, their customer service is the gold standard. I had originally rented a Christmas sweater for this weekend, but apparently it came back damaged, and so they offered to send me anything I wanted, no extra charge. I also had a work conference this weekend so they helped me find this. This is a really nice dress, although with shifts it's always a toss-up if it will fit the wearer's particular figure. For me this was a little loose in the waist and snug in the hips and shoulders. It's a bit tight sitting down and the top kind of rides up into your neck if you're not careful. But aside from those, it looks good. I'm listing many complaints but I felt like a million bucks.

Pretty sash

I rented this as a test run to see if I wanted to wear it for my upcoming wedding. In the end it doesn't really go with my look, but it's a really pretty sash. I like the use of pearls and the subtle but definitely-there sparkle. Definitely recommend renting this over paying hundreds of dollars to buy one and wear it once.

Kind of a weird dress

This is kind of a weird dress, to be honest with you. Something about the way it's constructed kind of gives the impression of a raincoat? Like an idea that wasn't executed well. It also didn't help that the skirt panels (another idea that wasn't executed well) hit right below where my belly and love handles end. And I'll agree with the other reviewers - good luck trying to avoid wrinkles. I rented it to be a bridesmaid in a wedding and wish I could have tried it on first. I'll upload a picture whenever the wedding photography is available. There are okay aspects - as someone else mentioned, the lining is very comfortable. Definitely no complaints about RTR, the sizes I ordered came on time, clean, etc. But yeah ... not a major success of a dress design.
