I've had my eye on this dress since I first saw it was available to rent. The colors in the print are stunning, it's a mix of bright colors, light colors and everything in between. You can basically wear any accessories and they will match. I am between sizes so based on previous reviews stating the waist is tight, I went with the higher size for my rental and my lower size for my backup. Surprisingly, the lower size was still too large on me. The waistband was very loose and since the dress is backless, it felt like my back end might fall out of the dress! Thankfully it was an easy fix with a couple of safety pins (a smaller size was not available) and I felt very secure in the dress all night. The material is heavier than I expected but even with the warm muggy weather, I was comfortable. I am just over 5'6" and even before I pinned the waist up and put heels on, the dress did not hit the floor but the high low looked great still. I got so many compliments on this dress, it is definitely a showstopper.

This dress is even more beautiful in person than in pictures. It's just the right amount of sparkle without being overdone. I got so many compliments throughout the night! Most importantly, it was comfy even after wearing for 10 hours. I was concerned about being too warm while dancing at the wedding but I did not have an issue at all. The one issue I had with the dress was my fault, I was not prepared for how low cut the back was. Some of the reviews I read said it was very low and others said not so bad. I purchased a bra extender so that I could wear a normal bra and just have the straps fall lower. This did not work for this dress as not only is it low back but the opening is wide as well so you could still see the bra straps. I didn't figure this out until 20 minutes before the wedding so I ended up just having to go braless which was actually not that bad. The material was thick enough that I did not feel exposed. Definitely prepare ahead of time though if that's not an option for you!

I am so glad I chose this dress for the wedding I recently attended. Although I would consider the dress true to size, I ended up wearing my bigger, backup size because I felt a little more comfortable with the bit of extra length. The dress looks almost sparkly to me in the stock photo but I did note in the reviews that the dress could be on the more casual side depending on how you accessorize. It definitely wasn't sparkly in person but I prepared for that with glittery jewelry and it still seemed very appropriate for the dressier wedding. I have been so happy with every RTR experience and I will be renting again soon!

I only got to wear this dress for a half hour before I learned of a family emergency and had to leave my event but I got many compliments right away. I typically wear a 16/18 and the 16W was a bit loose in the top but I wouldn't have gone smaller than the 16. RTR customer service was so helpful in overnighting me a 16WL because the regular was too short for the heels I found to wear. The mystery bling they sent were beautiful crystal black drop earrings and they matched perfectly and looked great with an updo. The only con was the sequins rubbing under my arm. As I said I only wore the dress for a short time but my arms were still red and slightly irritated the next day. I knew this was typical for sequined dresses however, and this beauty was worth the pain. I would definitely rent this dress again for another event.

I rented this purse for my wedding because I love sparkle and because frog princes have always been a silly joke I shared with my family and friends. The photos don't do it justice, it was so sparkly!! It was a great size for my phone, id and lipgloss and a couple other small items. I wouldn't recommend it to hold much more than that since it's thin. The quality was great, it had no physical wear that I could see. I got so many compliments on it and wish I could've kept it!
