Such a beautiful dress and was super flattering! Would rent again!

This forgiving elastic mid section cinches the ribs creating an elongated and flattering Silhouette. Tops was fun for a zoom meeting and whole dress had the hubby asking for a date with the fairy princess. Very light and comfy with a built in slip and front slit that stays in place.  

Was perfect for a nice dinner out while in vacation. The dress is long (I'm 5'7") and wore with wedge heels. 

This dress fit perfectly over my 32 week pregnancy bump and very comfortable! Only thing is the front slit with the bump, it was a little shorter but nothing crazy.

I rented this dress for a bohemian, rustic feeling outdoor wedding on a lake in Vermont, on a day that turned out to be 97 degrees in the shade...and I felt cool, elegant and ethereal throughout the entire day!

Some things that should be noted:  #1 This dress runs small. I am 5'10", 140 lbs, 34D/C bust and I have a small rib cage for my height. I normally wear a 6 or sometimes a 4, so I was fairly sure the 1L (small-long) would fit- wrong! I got lucky because the 2L (medium-king) fit absolutely perfectly. The 1L (small-long) felt like it was suffocating me around my rib cage and the fabric was tight across the bustline. The band below the bust hits directly at the rib cage (it's almost an empire waist) so knowing how this area fits is important #2 The long is REALLY long (which I loved but maybe some people won't). I'm 5'10" and with 3.5" heels that puts me over 6'1" and the hem still lightly touched the ground.  #3 If you rent this dress make sure you have a steamer. Both sizes arrived extremely wrinkled and crinkled. The wrinkles steamed out easily, but had I not had a steamer the dress would not have had the gorgeous floaty effect that it did and would have looked much less expensive. An iron won't cut it with this fabric. #4 The attached slip-liner is a bright blue color and it kept peeking out from the front slit. I found it mildly annoying but if I rent it again I'll use double-sided tape to keep it in place. #5 The fabric is almost completely sheer, hence the need for the attached blue slip. I mention the sheerness because you'll need to wear a bra that is as close to your skin color as possible if you don't want it to be seen. The attached blue slip straps are very skinny and they won't cover the width of a bra strap. #6 if you look at the second photo you'll see that the metallic embroidered diamond shapes are both silver and gold which allow for some nice jewelry options.

Overall, It was an absolute pleasure to wear this dress. I felt serene and soft and feminine for the whole hot day and I look forward to renting it again!

Was a little snug in the ribs but overall great fit.  Was stopped time and time again about my dress!! Wish I could keep!! 

This dress was EVERYTHING!! I rented it for my cousin's baby shower and kept it on all day. Not only was it comfortable, it turned heads EVERYWHERE I went. Literally EVERYWHERE. I paired it was a cute pair of gold wedges. I keep checking to see if it's available to rent again, because I definitely feel I can find another moment for it! 

This is a perfect dress. I felt so comfortable and beautiful. I received so many compliments. The first coming almost immediately after getting out of the car, when I was stopped by a woman driving through the lot who just had to tell me I looked "radiant." I felt radiant for the rest of the night. This gorgeous airy fabric, only sheer from the knee to the hem, was dreemy in the warm coastal weather. Perfect for an outdoor wedding. I wish I owned this dress. I would absolutely rent it again.

I rented this dress for a beach wedding in Mexico. It was PERFECT for the event! It was lightweight so I stayed cool and had great movement catching the breeze off the ocean. It also transitioned perfectly from day to evening. I received several compliments, including from the bride. Highly recommend! 

Loved this dress!!! It was light and airy - perfect for a beach/summer wedding. 

This dress looks so much better on. I didn’t have to wear a bra due to the cinched waist and adjustable straps of the slip underneath the dress. Note that it does not have a zipper and has to go over your head.  The color is a beautiful blue and green pattern with metallic details. I wore it to a beach wedding and it was perfect. I wore the 2R. I am usually between 6-8 with an athletic build. The 2R was perfect. It was a bit long-I’m 5’7” and without shoes it brushed the floor. However, I wore 3 inch heels and it was great. 

I was looking for something for a birthday party in Napa that wasn't super fancy but not too casual... this was the perfect dress. I loved that it was long but not too billowy. 

The dress was a fun flowy fabric over a shift, providing the beach vibe but still with coverage. I was able to dance and even play spike ball with no issue. Would rent again!

Wore this to an outdoor party. It was beautiful. Got many compliments. Fit perfect. Flowed really light and pretty. I would buy it if I could ! Will rent again. 

Wore this dress for a casual wedding in a small moutain town in CO and it was perfect. Wore the 2R with a tall pair of cowboy boots and the length was perfect. I think if I had worn with heels I would have need a 2L. This dress is very flattering and makes you feel amazing. The liner underneath is adjustable which is perfect as it was a little big but was able to adjust straps and it wasn't noticeable.
Would definitely rent again. 

This dress was beautiful! Very light and comfortable. You can change the straps underneath to pull it up more. Slit in the front made it easy to walk. Hints of gold were very special.

Fit perfect.  Love the deep cleavage and Beautiful color.  I had many compliments!

Super pretty dress that can easily be dressed up or down. The waist line makes this dress really flattering and the slit makes it super easy and comfy. My only complaint was that at 5'4 with 2.5 inch platform wedges on, the dress was still really long on me which made it hard to walk in. But if you're a bit taller or where taller heels, this will be perfect!

Absolutely LOVED this dress. It was comfortable and gorgeous. I got tons of compliments all night long. It was perfect for the semi formal wedding we went to! The color of the fabric was the richest and most beautiful blue, and so light weight. Danced all night in the dress, and stayed comfortable and cool the whole time!

This dress is the best! It is flowy and comfortable but stylish and flattering. I got so many compliments. It didn't seem as sheer in person as it did on the RTR pictures. I'm 5'5 and it was very long, so I definitely recommend heels. I wore this to a baby shower, but I feel like the dress is so versatile and could be worn for multiple occasions. Would definitely rent again. 

Lovely, flowy dress!! I want it in every print and color! 

Wore this dress on holiday and it was perfect as a conservative dress in warm weather. The skirt on it is stunning and floats when you walk, and the cinched waist makes you look TINY. Love love love everything about this dress! It was a little long so I wore it with heels and it was fine. 

This dress has so much flow and looks gorgeous when you're walking or sitting down with a slit in the very middle front showing some leg. 
One of my favorites 

Love this gorgeous gown. It was out of stock in my size so I got the Long version- it was still a bit too long even in my 6" heels, but I made it work. The regular length would have been perfect. Its extremely flattering and the pictures dont do it justice. Appropriate for casual or formal and could be worn Spring, Summer, Fall.

Loved this dress!  It fit me like a glove, and was perfect for a waterside wedding in the Fall.  I may have to rent it again and purchase next time!   Highly recommend.

Love the details in this very beautiful blue maxi!this dress is perfect for any event. You can really dress it up or down.

This dress was amazing!! It was comfortable, flattering and sexy. The photos definitely don't do the dress justice, as it looks pretty different in person. Definitely a great spring/summer/fall rental. Could be dressed down, or up! You can't go wrong with the Blue Mela Maxi!

The dress fit great. I'm not a fan of my arms and the sleeves covered that area perfectly. Empire waist was very flattering and I loved the color on me. Lots of compliments. The only few complaints I had were length (I'm 5'4" and it dragged a bit with heels) and the top dress liner was a little baggy and I can only assume from it being worn a lot. I had to keep adjusting it all night. Other than that I was very happy! 

I was a little hesitant to rent this as most of the previous reviewers were very tall and lean. Being the complete opposite, I was worried the length and fit would be an issue, but not at all. I am 5'5" and hourglass/pear shape and rented the 3R and couldn't have been happier. The only downfall (my own fault for not trying on beforehand) was that the dress came ripped. It was so long and flowy I didn't even notice when I took it of the bag....thankfully I had a handful of safety pins in my travel bag and a handy friend to help me out! Would definitely rent again (you wouldn't have to twist my arm to buy it either) 

Gorgeous fabric and perfect slit in the front. The waistline was very comfortable with the back half being elastic. Wish I could've worn again! But beware, no lining at the top.

This fit great and was very versatile. I wrote with flip flops one day and with heels and fancy earrings another time for dinner. Received tons of compliments 

This dress fits amazingly and is super comfortable! It was perfect for a beach wedding! I would 100% rent again could also be great for vacation or branching if dressed down. Slightly long though so might be tough to wear with no heels.

I love love love this dress. It is so much prettier in real life than the pictures. Flattering and easy to wear. Long- but was fine with a wedge heel. 

I LOVED this dress and got compliments all night. Initially rented for a welcome party but loved so much I wore to wedding. With fun earrings and shoes perfect for a barn, beach, bohemian feel wedding. Would be super cute casual with flat sandals but it does run long. I had 4in heels on and still dragged a bit on ground. Will rent again. 

I LOVED this dress and definitely would rent again. Received so many compliments. Loved the flicks of silver and gold. Length was perfect and I'm pretty tall. I'd say it runs large because I'm typically a 2/4 and the 0 fit great. 

Can be worn for any occasion, formal or casual. I loved the fit and how it flattered the body! So comfy and great quality!

Loved this rental. Super flattering and makes your waist look tiny! Great color and awesome gold detailing. Super comfortable to wear. I'm 5'10 and for the long. Perfect if you want to wear heels. Will rent again!

Fit true to size - there is no zipper. Elastic at waist felt tight when I was putting it on (was nervous it wasn't going to fit) but once on it fit great and was super comfortable. 
As other reviews said- it is very long. I rented the regular length and wore 4" heels and still was tripping over the dress at points. Stairs were not my friend. 
Overall loved it. Wish there was a short version as this would also be great as a causal maxi but only worked for me with heels
