Weird fit
This was in a backup order and thankfully the other dresses were better. The top was big but the whole dress was tight/small. Plus, the ruffle detail just looks weird. Hard pass.

Fire red
This is a show stopper fire red dress. This was in a backup order I had sent to me and was the second choice in that bag. I decided not to go with this as the only size available was an 8, therefore the straps and chest were just a bit loose and I’m not sure fashion tape would have helped.

Compliment city
So many compliments - even from the bride. Worn to a formal evening wedding and it was perfect. This was a backup order that worked out (my original picks didn’t fit and I hated) so RTR was able to send me 3 extra options. I went with the 8R but the 6R probably would have been the best fit as by the end of the night I had to keep pulling it up. If I had the 6R I wouldn’t have had to wear anything under either as there is boning in the top. Wore 4 inch heels until the heels broke 🫠 but they were the perfect height

Unique colored dress
This is an extremely comfortable dress, and very flattering. The 6R was just a smidge too small in my rib cage area, otherwise this would have been the dress I wore! Also, I would call this a bright coral color - I saw a lot of people claim it was hot pink…. It’s not.

Wrap dress
Perhaps I overlooked that in the description but this is a wrap dress. It looked utterly awful on me! No support without a bra, the cut was just so unflattering. To me, this would be great for a fall/winter event - not a spring event. Perhaps a great dress if you’re pregnant.

Form fitting, beautiful lilac color
This dress is a beautiful lilac color, perfect for spring! The dress is form fitting as the dress is a stretch material - I rented both a 2 &4 and there really wasn't a huge difference in fit. Because of the stretch factor, I opted not to wear the dress as I wanted to eat and drink!

Comfortable the whole night
There is a corset like top and there is no need to wear any support. The zipper was a little tough and you need someone else to zip you in. Being 5'3" I feel the dress was longer than I wanted but it still worked with heels. It does have pockets! I felt my iPhoneX weighed the dress down when it was in my pocket. Received some compliments, always a bonus :)

Beautiful detail, without being over the top
The dress runs true to size other than the arm area (other reviewers also noted this). I went with the 2 which was tighter in the arms, but it fit better everywhere else and I figured, I wouldn't be waving my arms over my head, so I would be okay. It has a slight stretch to the dress, so it's extremely comfortable.

Perfect for a formal wedding in a museum
I wanted this to work out so badly. It was sent to me as a back up as my original chosen back up would not get to me in time. I'm 5'3" and I chose the XSL - if it was just and XS I could have made it work. It was so terribly long on me there would have been no way I could have walked around the venue or to the church. The back clasp at the neck was very difficult to clasp.

Pretty in lace
I decided to go with the 2P due to the length, but it was much more snug in the chest - I didn't have to wear any support because of this. Everyone stopped me to compliment me on the dress that I rented for a formal wedding. The dress is a little heavy and the bust poked me by the end of the night. My strappy heels also kept getting stuck so I had to be careful when walking to hold the top layer of the dress. But it was a dream!

Something uniquely different
This beautiful marchesa notte is uniquely different from your typical cocktail dress. The nude with burgundy flower details is gorgeous in person. It was extremely comfortable for almost all of the night at the wedding, the nude mesh material was very itchy by the arm holes by the end of the night. I wore this with silver shoes which complimented nicely.

this is a very bright true red
The dress is a very true bright red, you'll stand out from the color alone! I wore this to a wedding rehearsal dinner and I received many compliments. The dress was very comfortable, the zipper was a bit stiff (even after rubbing a bar of soap over it as RTR suggests). The arms are a little snug, but I only noticed this as I was trying to zip the zipper myself with my arms over my head.

The lace, and the yellow was gorgeous
I got this dress for a formal bridal shower at a country club. The dress is GORGEOUS, the lace is beautiful. With that said, I'm 5'3" and the dress is far longer than the model pictured. The Size 2 was a tad large, I would have preferred to try on the 0, I didn't even attempt to try on the 4 because of how the 2 fit.

This was my second pick/back-up dress
This dress is a very heavy material, not a good choice for a summer wedding. It was a flattering over-all fit, although this dress had some wear to it- the zipper puckered on the size.

Everyone loved my dress!
I ordered a 2R and having the option of a 0R would have been nice but it wasn't available. My measurements are: 35-26-38. It fit well, it was a little loose in the chest area. The slit is high, so be careful if you're sitting during the reception!- I had to cover my leg with my clutch. I wore about 3 inch heels, be careful if your shoes have embellishments on them - mine kept getting caught on the dress. I also did not wear the belt provided, it didn't fit right, it was too loose on the smallest setting. I instead and an embellished sash I picked up at Charming Charlies.
