Amazing dress but some sacrifice needed...read on....
Alright so this dress is BEAUTIFUL! I wore it to a friends wedding and I felt great! Here's where it can be do or die for someone with extra booty and thighs...I could NOT raise the dress up to use the ladies room - I had to take the WHOLE dress off. I would keep this in mind if you're going to an event where the bathrooms may be tight or whatever your situation is. I didn't mind cuz I loved the dress that much. I'm usually a 6/8 but had to wear the 10 since it was a bit easier to zip around the booty and sitting down was more comfortable. Also knowing I would need to use the bathroom, I didn't want a horrifying situation where I was struggling to zip it up again and it broke or I just couldn't. I did wear the dress and drive for 2hrs as an FYI so it's not overall so tight where you can't breathe. Given I wore the 10, the top of the dress was loose but it wasn't obvious because of the gorgeous lace and patterns. Bae said I should buy the dress but I don't think it's worth the hassle detailed above. Renting is one thing. Hence why I love RTR! Okay I'm done! Hopefully this helps someone! :)

I received soooo many compliments!
I'm usually between a 6 and 8 for flowy dresses. The 6 fit perfectly. The 8 was a little too loose in the chest area. This dress is so flattering and the length was perfect. The straps were a tad bit tight and later realized I could have adjusted them *face palm* however that didn't take away from the dress. I didn't wear a bra but little pasties and was perfectly fine because the dress held up the girls. I was able to eat and dance because it wasn't form fitting. The pleats are super gorgeous and feel like they added to uniqueness of the dress.

LBD that made me feel phenomenal!
I rented this dress to wear for my birthday and it did NOT disappoint! The lace overlay that hid my little pooch (LOL) that day, the off the shoulder look that gave it enough sexy and the fit over my body made me want to own the dress! I LOVED LOVED LOVED this dress. I think it's perfect for a wedding, formal affair or even something not so formal. This review is a year and a half later but anytime I look at pics, I remember how gorgeous I felt and all the compliments I got.

I didn't wear it to my event but...
The only resson why I didn't wear this dress was because I was self-conscious about my tummy. Once I work this bad boy off, I AM renting this dress again. It's form-fitting and accentuates all your curves. Its definitely a show-stopper. I rented the 6 and 8 and the 6 fit better.

Something blue...
I wore this to an evening wedding. I felt wonderful in it and received so many compliments. I made the mistake of getting the 6L. Even with 3-in heels, the dress was still dragging. I would advise my 5'8 to 5"11 ladies to consider the regular length especially if you don't want to wear heels.

I mean....dang I loved this dress!
Everything about this cute dress is amazing. The bow, the color, the fit....I got soooo many compliments. I wore it for a bridal shower (the bridal party had to wear mint green). Such a gorgeous dress! Probably one of my favorite rentals to date!

Someone told me my dress was their favorite at the wedding!
I ordered both the 6R and 4R. The 4R was weird in the boob area so went with the 6R even though it was a bit loose. The dress has definitely been worn because the straps weren't as sturdy. Other than that, this dress was beautiful for an outdoor wedding! The wedding was in October but it definitely was still warm out to get away with this dress in NYC. I loved it!

I felt gorgeous and got compliments all day!
I saw this dress online and based on reviews, I removed it from my queue. I went to the store to try on a jumpsuit (disaster.com) and I saw the dress on the rack. However, it was a 4L so I thought it would not fit. I tried on the gown thinking it would be a disaster but it was PERFECT! I felt and looked gorgeous on the day of the event. The lace detail is sexy yet subtle and the color was perfect for my event. I'm usually a 6/8, so I think the dress runs a bit large. Disclaimer: I haven't been dress shopping (or any shopping for that matter) in a while so maybe I lost some weight and just didn't realize I went down a dress size. I would suggest getting your true size and maybe the next size down. This was my first RTR experience and it was great!
