Perfect outfit to bring class to "business casual"! But: fashion tape is essential!!!
This is a fantastic, fantastic look, I absolutely love it, but I must echo the sentiments of other reviewers: you need to safety in and fashion tape yourself into it. I had to use both--I feel like the renters before me were significantly bustier than I, so the top was a little stretched out, but with enough tape, I got everything situated. One thing to be wary of, tho, most definitely: if you need to use the restroom, you have to take the whole thing off, which can get laborious when you're taped in (and you also will need help with the high back zipper). Added bonus tho: pockets! Perfect for stashing lip gloss and extra tape :)

Fantastic fit hides all "problem areas" and accentuates all the right places
A fantastic dress to wear to dinner, the roucheting hides any belly bloat from eating or drinking too much. The cut on top is the perfect combination of alluring and sophisticated, not too low cut either! And you can wear a regular bra!!! Only thing to look out for is the zipper--it is a little rough towards the top so make sure you have someone to help zip you all the way.

Favorite RTR dress ever!
Beautiful fit, elegant, comfortable... This dress had it all! Absolutely made the night memorable. Probably my favorite dress that I've rented from RTR so far, can't wait to find another big fancy event so I can rent it again!

Super sparkly and total glam!
Surprisingly lightweight, catches the light beautifully! Wore them the whole night, didn't even notice I had them on, except for the barrage of compliments. Ears didn't hurt, didn't get my hair caught up in them... a great, great pair of earrings that I'd definitely get again!

Jaw dropping and speechlessly gorgeous!
Fits beautifully, snug but not too tight, comfortable and easy to move and dance in. The lace makes it long enough so that it's appropriate, but be careful of the under layer riding up! Such a gorgeous dress that is sure to get you a million compliments and render some men entirely speechless.

Super fun!
Fun, flirty, fits gorgeously... this is a fantastic dress for a summer wedding. it is a little thick and heavy so be prepared to sweat if it's an outdoor wedding, but the look is totally worth it!

Comfortable, chic and super-stylish!
Great dress for a cocktail party, wedding, or other formal event. Very comfortable, easy to move and dance in, and very stylish and fashion-forward. The gold thread running throughout is a gorgeous detail that doesn't show up very well in pictures, unfortunately, but is very evident in person, so make sure you have gold jewelry to go with! Loved it!

Chic and light!
Perfect amount of sparkle that accented a gorgeous dress. And best of all, they were super-light to wear--NOT the kind of earring that weighs on your ear and constantly reminds you that it's there. Absolutely loved, it's a great accessory!

Incredible: Comfortable and glamorous!
Great dress, super easy to move in, has a bit of stretch to it, incredibly comfortable... I didn't want to take it off! Wore it to a formal event that included dinner--was able to eat a full meal and dance and looked amazing the entire time! ALSO: Was being approached by at least three random women who just LOVED the dress and had to tell me! Would love to rent this dress again in a heartbeat. Fit note: I usually wear a 4, and ended up wearing the 6. The 4 could have worked, it just would have been a little tighter in the thigh-area (but maybe that's just me and not the dress). LOVED IT!

Just didn't fit properly...
I usually don't have any trouble at all finding dresses that fit, I have a pretty standard hourglass figure. However, I rented both the 40R and the 42R and was devastated when neither gown fit. The 40 fit perfectly on the top but was suffocatingly tight on the bottom. The 42R fit just perfectly on the bottom, but the top was so baggy, I couldn't even pin it up in a way that looked acceptable. In the end, I had to just mail and send it back, because there was no way I could wear either size to my event. If I were smaller on the bottom or bustier on the top, it could have looked great, but that's not the case this time. Such a shame, it looks so gorgeous in the photos.

Who doesn't love sparkle?
Gorgeous earrings, but they were huge and heavy! I'm not used to that size and weight, but if I were, they would have been perfect!
