Dinner out and Work the Next Day
This jumpsuit was fabulous! I'd consider buying it but with such a stand out print, I'm not sure I could get a ton of wear out of it. That being said, it's a perfect piece to rent. The fabric is a bit heavier weight, so it draped beautifully. It was easy to step into and zip by myself. The straps were also adjustable, which was perfect for me (shorter torso/longer legs). The cut and length were perfect for my 5'7" frame. I paired it was pumps but it could easily go with sandals. I received a ton of compliments at the office. I also used a cardigan sweater to cover up though a light weight jacket would also work.

Simply Lovely
If the dress was easier to get into, I'd give it 5 stars. I loved the style and the material was luxurious. The colors and patterns were feminine and perfect to wear to an afternoon graduation party as well as to work. I liked the scarf neckline detail but chose to wear my hair down, thus not showing it off too much. The 14R fit well though getting into it wasn't easy. Doing a side zipper alone can be near impossible, so I actually opted to leave it zipped then gently ease it on over my head. This method required massive flattening of my breasts to fit it. However, once everything was in place, the dress looked great. This method of putting it on also negated the confusion about arm holes that some people noted in their reviews. I was very happy with the rental.

Le Sigh
The reviews were spot on for this dress. The top size for the style is 14R but it felt smaller than that. I'm 5'7", 180lbs, 36DD wearing 12/14 in Banana Republic/JCrew. This dress was tight across my bust. Also, as several reviewers had commented, the sleeves were really tight. I was not going to be comfortable in the selection and chose to not wear it. Such a shame though, I loved the pop of yellow.

Understated Elegance
This was a back-up dress I didn't wear. Overall the dress is true to size as the size 16 was big on my size 14 frame. And while I usually request the long length, this dress didn't need it. It was too long on me (5'7") thus shifting the bust line and the slit to unflattering places. The dress does have some stretch but Spanx or some sort of shape wear is a must as flaws are hard to hide. I'd consider trying it again but in a different size and length.

Gorgeous Dress!
When the dress arrived I was thrilled! The fabric was luxurious, the style was elegant and the color was beautiful. I concur with other reviewers that the dress has little to no give. I needed some help from Spanx to get it zipped! It was also risqué on top for my 38D cup size. I donned a sheer sweater for dinner. The crinoline was easy to manage and overall the dress was very lightweight despite the poof. It stood out amongst a sea of black sheaths. I'd happily rent it again!

Great Experience
This dress was my 4th choice (didn't plan ahead) but worked perfectly for a black tie optional wedding. The previous reviews were so helpful to determine size and length. I felt the dress was true to size, but I didn't even try on the smaller back-up so I have no comparison. At 5'7" and wearing a 3" heel, the long was perfect. I wore a demi-cup regular bra and my Spanx body suit without issue. The dress camouflages the tummy area well. I was so thrilled with the fit! A complete stranger stopped me and said "You're dress is amazing and fits you perfectly!" I told her it was RTR :) I am so glad I opted to rent rather than spending $300+ on something else which I didn't love and would have required alterations. I could have used some fashion tape or pinning for perfection but off the hanger and out the door worked fine. I can't wait to try something else. This was a great experience!!
