This dress is even more beautiful in person. The colors in the stitching are the loveliest shades of blush, light green, light blue. It is just so pretty. The dress is lined in a silk material and is incredibly comfortable. I had no issues with the embroidery on the neckline flopping over as some others have mentioned. Wore with a black leather jacket to take the "fancy" down a notch, but this dress could definitely be everything from black tie appropriate to after dinner drinks, depending on how it was styled. A+ from me.

Bright fun color, nice thick fabric. Ended up loving the hi-low hemline.
Wore this for my sister's wedding where we we all chose a color to wear head to toe. The yellow shade was really pretty and is very true in tone to the photo. I wore a 0R, but could have probably done with a 2R. The fit around the ribcage was definitely snug. The dress was definitely not brand new, and needed to be steamed and ironed to get it into the proper shape (particularly along the hemline), but overall it was very well made and was a lot of fun to wear.

Warm, cozy, comfortable and fun. Wanted to keep!
I rented this for my sister's wedding in October and it was the perfect yellow/marigold shade. Very comfortable. The fit is oversized, but that's by intention, and it looks really great draped over the shoulders (although I also wore it with my arms in the sleeves and that looks great as well). I wore it with jeans, to work, and with a dress, and it worked with everything. Wish I could have kept it!

Fun and trendy frames with classic tortoiseshell accent
Very sturdy, comfortable fit. The gold was fun and the shape was perfect. The tortoiseshell finish on the earpieces is the perfect accent to the mirrored gold lens frames.

Subtly festive and a little bit flirty
I normally wear a size 2 in dresses, but because of the full skirt on this one, the 0 actually fit me better, particularly in the bust area (I'm small chested). It was not nearly as low-cut on me as it appears on the model (which was probably good; I wore it to a family wedding and was worried it might be a little too risqué. But I DID think I would have liked the plunging neckline, for the right occasion?). The cap sleeves were a bit restrictive for dancing, but not terrible, and overall the dress was very comfortable. The 2 arrived in pristine condition (I think it was brand new? It still had the tags on!), but the top layer of fabric on the size 0 was extremely wrinkled (I steamed it and it helped substaintially) and the zipper stuck several times each time I zipped/unzipped it. Despite those two things, I still felt the fit was better on the 0 and opted to wear that size.

So comfortable!
Wore this to a friend's rehearsal dinner on a warm June night. Super comfortable and very ladylike. The pockets add a little bit of interest and I liked that it could be dressed up with a few accessories and worn to a semi formal wedding (or something of the like) or worn with some sandals/flats out to a summer-y casual dinner. A great rental all around! (P.S. Please ignore my messy floor!)

Don't be scared by the color!
I was looking for a dress to rent for a semi formal ballroom wedding and passed over this dress at least 20 times. The color made me nervous and the shape didn't look like much on the model (in my opinion). But once I clicked on the user photos I finally changed my tune. For one, the dress is actually a beautiful shade of chartreuse, NOT lemon-y yellow as I had previously thought. The shape is also SO flattering, particularly on a more pear shaped figure. The bodice is snug and I at first had a difficult time zipping it up, even with a smaller bust (heads up bustier ladies!), but once it was on I was fine all night. The sleek fit on the bodice does help keep the dress up however, so I never had to worry about tugging at it or fearing it would slip down, even through a night of dancing. It also has pockets, which is always a plus. Favorite rental thus far.

Perfect for a wedding rehearsal/rehearsal dinner
I rented this for my sister's wedding rehearsal and rehearsal dinner. It was the perfect mix of classy and fun, with the midriff cutout to keep it interesting. Easy to move in and true to size. The color is bright and beautiful. Compliments all night long.

Strangers stopped me on the street to ask about my dress!
I rented this dress for my sister bachelorette party, where she requested we all wear black. I was a little nervous that the dress would be too gold and I would stick out like the jerk would just couldn't stick to the "rules", but was happy to find when the dress arrived that while some sequins are gold, it is definitely "little black dress" appropriate. I rented my normal size 2 and a size 0 as some reviewers said it ran large, but I found almost no difference in the fit between the two other than that the 0 was slightly shorter. I also felt the fit was very true to size. I was basically a walking billboard for RTR, nearly everyone I saw that night asked me where my dress was from! Definitely a winner.
