Gorgeous!
I wore this to a Maryland vineyard with some girlfriends. The dress fit perfectly. The v-neck is pretty deep, so I used fashion tape to keep it in place. I couldn't have been happier!

Felt great at a formal brunch!
I wore this to an afternoon brunch with friends on a city rooftop. The dress is beautiful in person, long, even on me. My only thought is that it runs a bit big. I felt like I had to pull it up all night- maybe because that's just so often the nature of strapless, maybe because the fabric itself was heavy (because it was).

Very formal
I rented this dress on Unlimited, thinking I'd have plenty of brunches or patio happy hours I could wear it to. But it looks much more formal (heavy lace, thick lining) in person, so I just sent it back to RTR for another lady to enjoy. Flattering dress, just not something I needed in my repertoire.

So many compliments!
I wore this dress to a birthday party. I usually wear an 8, but a 10 fit me well, mostly because the fabric just doesn't have a lot of give around the hips. Well proportioned, thoughtfully crafted (as DVF always is), and perfect for this transitionary time between winter and spring.

Flattering and fun!
I'm a reasonably tall lady, and this jumpsuit was the perfect length on me, shoulder to hem. Very low cut- I would normally use fashion tape on that deep of a V neck but couldn't on a one-piece. I did feel like the proportion of torso to pants was a little off (torso very long!) Overall, I felt really good in this outfit and would definitely wear again!
Backslash Jumpsuit

Photographs beautifully!
I rented another dress for NYE and my backup size was returned damaged, so RTR upgraded my second rental to this beautiful dress for free! I've had my eye on it for a while, but the other dress fit beautifully. I wore this one last night to watch reruns of West Wing with my boyfriend and dog. The cut is very flattering, lots of room in the bust, lots of room in the hips. The graphic belt is not adjustable, so it's the waist measurement you need to size to. I'm a 6/8, and the 8 was just on the big size. The fabric is stiff; it looks more like a vintage 80s dress than an 80s-inspired piece. And the belt is sewn on, as are shoulder pads: not much room for style adjustment. Overall, I don't have a ton of experience with $3,000 dresses, but I'm not sure this one looks much more expensive than the hefty rental price. But I felt great in it, and it looked wonderful on.

Lovely skirt
I rented this for a NYE party at a DC speakeasy. The tulle skirt was almost too thick and full, even as a 5'8" lady in high heels. The skirt also has an elastic waist, just as a fit FYI. All in all the outfit was very flattering, and the exposed midriff (my first since I was a preteen in Mississippi mooning over tube tops in Walmart) didn't make me feel self conscious at all.

Fabulous and Classy!
Like everyone else has pointed out, this dress runs a little large in the bust. I usually wear an 8 and ordered a 6 as my backup. The 6 is what I went with. This was a very pretty and (relatively) conservative outfit for a church wedding and country club reception. I felt great all night!
