Least flattering dress I ever put on
I have ordered several different dresses from RTR over the years and never had an issue with a dress like I did with this one. It was easily the most unflattering dress I ever put on. It was hard to tell from the photos, but the top had this blousing feature that added extra fabric in the midsection that easily added 10-15 pounds. I should have known better than to order a dress that was so new that it had few reviews/pictures. Sigh.

Loved this dress!
Husband said it was his favorite dress I've rented to date! Super flattering and I felt beautiful. I'm self-conscious about my arms and it gave me enough coverage to feel good, but still very sexy.

Really flattering, but nothing special
I liked how well the dress fit (thick fabric and lots of rouching for concealing), but found that the lace didn't stay put well on my arms and kept riding up. I felt pretty in it, but there wasn't really a "wow" factor with it. Overall, I'm glad I wore it, but it wasn't one of my favorites.

Super cute dress, but could be too low cut for some
Loved the fabric of this dress. Super soft and light and had what looked like embroidery on it to provide some dimension. Length was great and fit to size (better with shapewear underneath). I also appreciated the bra straps to ensure they stayed in place. It was slightly lower cut than I would have liked, but it wasn't enough for me to wear a cami underneath.

Amazing dress
Super comfortable and loved that I could wear a regular bra with it. Note that it is quite low cut so you may need to tape your bra so it doesn't show. The sequin skirt is even prettier in person and the pockets make it perfect.

I felt like I could have walked the red carpet!
The material is thick and stretchy, a good combination. This is the first time I wore a more body hugging dress and not A-line and I'm happy I did. But I found it hard to keep the material flat with no bunching, as you can see in the picture. There's also extra fabric over the bust area, but the hem of that piece didn't lie flat so you could see it.

Cute dress
Cute dress with pockets. The high/low added interest to an otherwise blah dress. Fabric was thick and not at all clingy.

This dress is fabulous!
I've rented a handful of dresses from RTR and this is by far my favorite. It was so flattering and easy to wear. I probably could have worn the 8L with husband's help on the zipper. Full of sequins, but not at all heavy. Compliments all night!

Cute spring/summer dress
This was a back-up dress since RTR didn't have the dress I wanted in size L. It was very cute on, very comfortable, and very flattering. Lots of compliments!

Wanted to love this dress, but couldn't
I kept going back to this dress online and when I had the opportunity to rent it, I did. The fit was fine, but the style was very matronly. My husband made a comment that I looked like I was going to the Grand Ole Opry.

Overall great dress
I'm an hourglass shape with a more "sand" on the bottom than top. I got both the medium and large sizes to try. The medium was definitely too tight for my liking in the hips, but the large was too big in the bust. I wore the large. As other reviewers said, the fabric is nice and thick and definitely flattering. I'm not into body conscious clothes, but loved how this one felt and looked. Will rent again!

Super cute and flattering dress
As mentioned by other reviewers, I found that the bodice fit small while the rest of the dress was true to size. Accordingly, I had to wear one size larger than my normal size. Super cute and the bow in the back was a great accent.

Felt amazing in this dress!
I wore this dress at an annual black tie event. I felt amazing wearing it, I oozed confidence, and received compliments all night long. At 5'8" and wearing 2 inch heels, the long was perfect. The 8 also fit really well. As other reviewers have said, the fabric is even prettier in person and has a blue tint to it. As this was my first RTR experience, I'm definitely obsessed.
