The petite was not available when I rented this dress or else it probably would have been a perfect fit. The 36R wouldn't quite zip up all the way, but the length was doable with 4-5" heels. The 38R fit perfectly, but was way too long even with heels and was too scared to risk ripping it. I would definitely rent this again in petite when I have a chance! 

I wore this dress to a st. Pattys day gala. I originally had reserved another dress that was way too long and ill fitting on me. I chatted with the stylist who found me another green/blue dress for this gala. The length and fit was good but there was a bit more cleavage than I would've liked (on the side that is strapless. However, it definitely held up and I felt very beautiful in this gown. It was a nice material, made well and the color is very pretty. 

Fit perfectly overall although I probably should have gone with a long. Didn't need a bar with it. Got a lot of compliments. 

The dress fit beautifully.  It was very comfortable and complemented my figure well. The dress was a bit longer then I expected. I had to change to taller heels because I was stepping on the hem.  All in all I was very happy with this dress. 

Color was stunning and it fit perfectly. I received tons of compliments!

Overall the dress fit well and super comfortable with the exception of it being a little big in the bust are. 

This dress is amazing! I was a little worried about how the sizing and fitting would go at first (it was my first RTR experience) but it turned out great! This dress has a great weight to it, light and flowy, but what is hard to see from the pictures is that it actually has a light sheath layer on top. It makes for a great texture, but I had some static cling issues that had to be resolved with a dryer sheet before leaving the house. The top is nice and flattering and hit me just above the waist and then flowed loosely.

I happened to be wearing this to a formal Halloween party and it was perfect for my Statue of Liberty costume. I rented some jewelry too to flair it up. I would definitely recommend this dress!

I chose the smallest size I could find, worried that my 5' frame would be stepping on the hem all night. I was mistaken! With my 3" platform heel wedges I was able to comfortably walk and dance without stepping on the dress- the hem just barely kissed the ground. I got compliments from other guests at the Indian wedding we went to, and while I was not wearing a sari I definitely was glad I was just as colorful as the other women there! The fit is snug, and if you eat heavy it'll be a tight fit at the ribs at the end of the night, but your mid-section and hips will be masked well by the draping of the fabric. 

The dress was really beautiful but since I am smaller chested I needed to supplement to make the bra fit right. That being said the rib cage area felt snug. The length of the dress was perfect. I am 5'2" and wore 3" heels and the dress barely grazed the floor.

Overall it was a good pick. The fabric wasn't what I expected, but it still was a fabulous dress! 

I wore this to give up my title at a local pageant and while the dress looked and felt BEAUTIFUL, it was an inch or 2 of the ground. I don't have a picture but I'm 5'6-5'7'' ish, I wore about a 4 inch heel and there was significant space between the ground and the bottom of the dress.from the pic you can at least see the fit on top! 

The dress fit true to size and was very flattering in how it pulled in at the waist.  I ordered the smaller size as well but it was a little snug. The fabric was light and airy, perfect for a Summer wedding in San Diego. The dress stood out, in a great way. I received many compliments on this dress from women and men at the event. It clearly is a fantastic dress when guys are complimenting fashion! The color was perfection. I highly recommend this dress. Just rent it already!

I also rented another gown from RTR for this event, which was also fantastic. It was very hard to choose between the two. I ended up going with this gown because of the color and it fit the event more closely then the gold, sequin gown I rented. 

This dress is gorgeous in person. The color really pops and the fit is true to size. I'm a size 10 but my lower half is bigger and my upper half could probably fit a 6 or an 8... if you're smaller up top and your hips are wider, don't worry! Once it pulls in at your waist, it flows out everywhere else- no clinging and no showing anything you don't want to see. The only thing is that I am 5'9" and with a higher heel, it comes up a bit short. I should've gotten a long in that respect... but other than that, it was extraordinary! I got it to wear for a pageant and it really popped on stage :) 

This dress was a dream. A flowy, gorgeous, turquoise, sea goddess dream. I wore this to a sea-side wedding in Cape Cod in the summer and it was absolutely perfect. The material is super light and comfortable, so it was really great for the beach. I was worried that it'd be too long since I'm on the short side and full-length dresses usually run long on me, but I wore it with light gold, 3.5~4 inch heels and it worked out pretty well. I did have to lift the dress when walking up or down stairs otherwise it'd get caught, but other than that, the length was just fine. One word of caution: this dress is EXTREMELY fitted on top - I could barely squeeze into it and had to have someone zip me. That being said, however, it is also very flattering and manages to squeeze out cleavage from even the smallest of chests. The color of this dress is also so gorgeous. It's probably one of the prettiest I've worn. I wish I could have kept this dress, that's how much I loved it. I felt like a goddess in it all night!

The dress was definitely NOT what I expected from RTR...first of all, the color on the sight was brighter than in person. Secondly, my dress had a broken wire in the bust area. Thirdly, the dress ended up being too long for me even though reviews from other women my height said it fit (a reason could be that they wore heels and I didn't). Lastly, the whole top part of the dress sagged and looked too big on me. Aside from those issues, the dress was great. People couldn't tell any of those flaws, so everything worked in the end. I plan on using RTR again, but i am going to be much more careful about what I rent...

The regular was a tad short Iin heels but the dress fit like a glove. 

The dress fits a little small around the ribs. The flow was perfect and I loved how it looked in person and in pictures. 

It's a very LONG dress. At 5'3'' I'd recommend wearing at least 4 inch heels so the dress only skims the floor. The one shoulder strap is a little loose (see second picture) and I think this would look best on someone with a full chest.

The dress was great. Part of the material was a little snagged probably because of so much wear but I only noticed it. The top part of the dress was tight because of the structure-Luckily I got a bigger size so the top fit well. I got so many compliments because of the bright color, the material of the dress, and how unique the top looked! I would definitely recommend this dress to wear to a wedding or formal occasion. Also super easy to rent and send back! I live in NYC and sent the dress to  CA ( where the wedding was) and returned it once I got back to NYC; very easy and convenient! FYI If you are in between sizes I would size up because the top part of the dress runs small. 

I wish I had more photos to show how beautiful this dress is! The color is phenomenal and it was so comfortable to wear all night
