I rented this dress for a Theatre Awards Ceremony. I got compliments all night about what a great dress and how wonderful I looked. To be totally honest though, I wasn't sure I loved it when I first tried it on. If it were in a store, I probably would have kept shopping. The material felt just a little heavier than it appeared online. It still had great swing and it was nice that it felt substantial, just not what I expected. I took a cue from other photos and reviews on here and added a satin ribbon belt- that helped a LOT for me, just gave a little more definition. I think I liked the dress more and more as the night wore on though to be honest! As many other reviewers suggested I got a smaller size as back up, and that is what I wore. I'm almost exclusively a 6 in dresses, but this one felt a little boxy and loose- certainly not unwearable, just not quite right. The 4 was better overall, though the waist was a tad high on me; I chose to go with it anyway. (Note- I'm not quite sure hourglass is the right description of my body, I'm somewhere between that and pear. My weight is pretty evenly distributed so I do have a noticeable waist though not a tiny one!) I was a little concerned about the itchiness of the sequins others had mentioned, but although I did notice them, I wasn't red or raw or uncomfortable at all. Mind you, I don't have very sensitive skin either. Aside from the dress, the RTR experience was pretty great! I didn't realize shipping was more expensive on a Saturday, and since the event was on a Monday night I had no other choice than to pay as much for S+H as I did for the dress itself. There were a few loose threads on the dress, but when sequins are involved and it's been worn more than once I'd say that's to be expected. Will definitely consider renting again!
