I had this dress for my mom towear it for a party.. since she had slight stomach .. this dress was perfect yo make her body toned down. It also looked sophisticated for a 55 year woman to wear it. Honestly its a versatile dress for all ages and ocaasions.. the colors were just perfect :)

Good length and perfect fit. Plus, always like when I can zip them up without help! 

This dress fit just a little tight, but loved the look as did my husband, I planned to wear it to the wedding, and very much hope to rent it again some day.  However, I learned after putting in the order and having it delivered that the wedding would be in a barn with no AC on a day when the October temperature in the Pittsburgh, PA area was 90 degrees with humidity.  The bride asked us all to dress as comfortably as possible, so I wore a sun dress I had instead.  Still a beautiful dress, perfect for typical fall weather with its lovely fall colors.

I rented this to emcee a conference in the fall and I loved it. I rented up a size given other peoples reviews and I definitely needed that larger size. It does run small. Very pretty and classic dress.

Wore the dress to an event I attended for work. Ordered  a size 6 and 8 and wore the 6. I could have used a 4 for the top area but it would have been a bit snug around the butt and thigh area.

Wore this to a conference for work. This dress is beautiful and very comfortable. It runs a little small I usually wear from a 10-14 depending on designer but this one I sized up due to other reviews. There is no give or stretch to this dress at all. It is lined and the fabric is very nice. I will definitely rent this one again. Would be perfect to wear to the office, a conference, church or a dressy event. I really love this dress the colors are much better in person than the photos. 

A little large but the texture and pattern were so lovely - jacket helped look less busty and voluminous

This dress fit like a glove. It fit perfectly and considering I only had to wear it for three hours it was amazing. For a longer event, I would consider the next size up. I received so many compliments. 

It sits tight around the rip cage (which is fine because it defines your waist) but it can cause the neckline to feel a little tight around your neck. Other than that it was absolutely perfect. I got so many compliments from other wedding guests as well as coworkers who saw photos. I would recommend this dress to anyone looking for something stylish but still seasonally appropriate. This was my first RTR experience and I will 100% be renting again.

I loved this dress and received tons of compliments (even my hubby noticed).  Dress came in a 4, which is my usual size and it was just a tiny bit smaller than I would have liked (very form fitting).  It has loops to hook bra straps into and hit just below my knee.  It was a little "worn" looking up close (I had to clip some threads), but I only noticed when I was inspecting straight out of the package.  I really love this dress and would absolutely rent it again!

This was my first RTR dress and it was such a seamless and easy experience! This dress was a little loose in the chest area. I am a 32B but there was a little more give in the dress. Also it was a little tight in the thigh/hip area but not enough for people to notice (just tight to me when going up stairs etc!). Was a beautiful dress and i got compliments on it. Wouldn't rent this one again because of these small issues but loved the whole RTR experience. 
I am 5'2" and 130lbs

This dress is nice, not spectacular but nice fit and pretty for Fall. I rented it for a work conference and it was great for the event. It is fitted but not too fitted in the stomach area. The fabric has no stretch.

This was a beautiful dress, well made, thick fabric, and lovely colors. It was also a great work-length. My only issue was how tight it was in the hips. 

I'm 5'7" and 170 pounds  with a curvy bottom half. This dress fit nicely everywhere.  It was slightly loose through the waist and bust but did not gap anywhere.  True to size and  stunning color combination.  I wore it for a semi-formal holiday party the mix is metallic gold was festive!

The colors really stand out more than what the pictures show. Very vibrant. I am pretty busty and the chest was still large/baggy in this dress. I like a snug fit so might be good for some. Fit well everywhere else. High quality fabric. 

Rented this as one of three unlimited items.  Ordered a 10 but very snug in the hips and fit fine in torso area so switched for a 12 and was a little big in chest area but otherwise, nicely fitting dress and looked great.  Got lots of compliments when worn to church on Sunday.  Will definitely keep in my list of regular rentals as the need arises!

I rented this for a work-week awards luncheon. This is a beautiful, figure flattering sheath. It runs small, but I broke out the Spanx and wore it anyway. I have gained some weight so I had already gone up a size and it was still snug.  The other dresses I rented fit well with room a bit of room to spare.  That said, it's a gorgeous dress and I did receive compliments. I would rent it again

Positives:
I love the fabric. It's beautiful and multi-textured.
Got a couple compliments from coworkers
Overall true to size, though I did find it tight in the armpits

Negatives:
Every time you sit, it chokes you. You have to be very careful about the angle you sit at or face potential death by dress strangulation. 

I'm only 5'3 and the hip darts on this dress hit at the small of my waist. Very unflattering on my pear shaped body. Perhaps need to be very petite/short to wear this.

I'm 5'10" the dress was shorter on me than I prefer but I wore it and enjoyed it!

Pros- The colors are beautiful for a Fall wedding, the dress also has a slight shine to it so it can easily be dressed up for a formal wedding or paired down for a cocktail wedding. Cons- The dress runs small, specifically in the hip/mid section. I do not necessarily think this dress works for any woman with an apple shape or super curvy figure, probably best for slender straight lined body. Overall beautiful dress just not right for my body!

I wore the 6 even though it was a bit large because the 4 was too short.

I ordered two dresses to try for an upcoming friend's wedding.  This dress fit beautifully and was very elegant.  I ended up returning this purely because another dress I ordered fit the occasion better.  I would definitely order this dress for another event for sure.

Wore to a conference with a blazer, great color and flattering fit. Think this was true to size - I am five months pregnant and growing. I was a 10 at four months; this dress (12) was loose, which was good since the fabric has no give. 

The fit was great and true to size.  I felt comfortable in this dress.


I was told to not send this dress back by many people. The material is rich, and the colors are great - not as vibrant as they look online but even better in person I think. This dress is VERY fitted throughout - so expect to sit on the edge of your chair.  Worked really well for a presentation at work where I stood most of the time!

This dress was simple yet absolutely stunning!  It fit beautifully and flattered all of my curves in all the right places.  I've worn it to evenings events (dinner date, opera, etc.), but it is so versatile that it looks great at an al fresco brunch as well.   

This dress is so stunning. Fabric does sort of remind me of curtains or a silk sofa, lol BUT one you get it on it's super flattering and looks very sophisticated. I felt and looked so skinny and office sexy! Totally would buy this dress

Super classy but comfortable. I felt pretty. It was a fall wedding and outdoors, so the thicker fabric was perfect.

Perfect fit. The sleeveless design seemed to accentuate my toned shoulders.And my waist appears more defined. Very elegant.

This is a beautiful dress that is great for work with a sweater or a professional cocktail party. 

I wore this dress for cocktails and dinner at my social club. It was a hit with everyone there, who all commented on the great print and fit of the dress. The fabric does not have a lot of give, however it does run true to size. You do need to wear a racerback bra with the dress and I recommend not wearing with a cardigan, as the print stands on its own, so go on a warmer evening. 

This dress is a show stopper. It fits great - and is more conservative than I thought so I'm actually going to wear it to work, too. The colors are rich and vibrant and it can be dressed up or down with the right shoes. I received tons of compliments and felt very comfortable in it. I usually were a size 4 and the 6 was big on me but it still looked great. 

Beautiful dress. True to size. It is a straight fit so if you have wide hips, try the next size up

It was a little tight walking upstairs, but that may be because I am petite, so it hit my legs a little lower than it normally would.

The fabric on this dress is rich. The color is perfect for autumn.  I wore it to a charity function and received many compliments.  I have worn this designer before and needed a smaller size.  I wore this dress in a 14 and it fit like a glove.  There is no give to the fabric so if you are between sizes I'd size up.
