Comfortable, Classy, Fun & Professional
I wore this dress to my 10-year high school reunion. Our school color is royal blue, and since I helped organize the event, I wanted to wear a blue dress. This one was perfect! I received compliments on the dress all night. It's very comfortable. The material is the right thickness - it covers/smooths the body but also breathes and flows nicely. It does run SMALL. I'm normally between a 2 and a 4 in dresses, but I'm glad I listened to the other reviewers and ordered a 4 and a 6, because I ended up going with the 6. The sleeves were a tiny bit too snug in the 4, so I went with the 6 since I knew I wanted to be comfortable all night. Size up if you don't have super-skinny arms! Overall, I was very happy with this dress and would love to have it in my closet. It would be the perfect dress to go from day (office) to night (party). Thank you, RTR!

Beautiful, stand-out dress
This is a bold, bright yellow. Not neon, more like primary color style yellow. The fit was a tiny bit snug (especially when sitting down) because of the boning in the upper half of the dress, but it fit perfectly fine with a strapless bra and I could breath just fine. I'm normally a 2, but I have a small bust, so if you have a larger bust it may be better to size up. The length was very appropriate for a church wedding, but still short enough to keep it cool in the hot summer. Gorgeous cut - got tons of compliments! Strongly recommend IF you are ready for a bold yellow.

Runs large, slightly itchy, but great for a big night out
I rented this as my backup dress and ended up going with the other one I rented instead. However, having tried it on, I can review it on a basic level. It definitely runs large - I'm normally a 4/6 and the 2 was a little roomy on me. The 4 was definitely too big. The fabric (maybe due to the sequins) is a bit itchy and may not have been comfortable (esp. with underarms) for a whole night out. It is longer than expected. The boning in the dress makes it so that a bra is probably unnecessary, but I wore one anyway since I have a small chest-area. This would be a great dress for Vegas with the girls or a big flashy party.

Perfect dress with MAGIC Herve Leger material
This was my first time using RTR, and I rented this Herve Leger dress for my 25th birthday - which was my Golden Birthday - so I wanted something extra-special. It is not super short, but is the perfect length. It *is* tight, but it sucks you in and hides all unwanted curves, and the BEST part of all, it gave my A-chest visible cleavage. Magical. I got tons of compliments, and everyone has been commenting on Facebook that my dress was fabulous :) The ONLY cons: 1) I had a hard time filling it out chest-wise, even with my super-padded VS strapless bra, but it looks great in photos so that's good enough for me. I did have to pull it up a few times to hide my bra. 2) The bottom part was a little stretched out due to wear, but when I was walking/sitting you couldn't notice. Only when standing was it a little noticeable (see 2nd photo). Otherwise, this dress was AMAZING and I was really sad to send it back. Thank you RTR!
