I rented this dress to have a huge pop of color in my engagement photos and it did not disappoint! It fit so well and true to size. (I'm a 20 normally but a 20 was unavailable, I rented an 18 and 22. The 22 was too big but I could squeeze into this one so that's the one I went with lol.) Very flattering for curvy women. Everyone who has seen my engagement pics has complimented this dress!

I am 5'2'' and it was the perfect length! 

This dress fit me very well. I did not need a bra or even help getting into it.  I feel it stood out in all the photos. It was practical, fancy and cute

Beautiful dress & pink color!  I loved the back & pockets too!  The only con was that the empire waist hit right at the top of my stomach & there is absolutely no give. I almost wore the 8, but the straps slipped off too much.  Great first rental! 

The dress fit a little large, so a fabric black belt gave me a great adjustment. The sequin top wasn't scratchy on my arms, the skirt fabric had a great weight to it, and the dropped hem in back was super cute. I felt like a million bucks in this dress!

Beautiful dress, but waist was way too high for me. The skirt starts a few inches above my natural waist. That made me look wide and proportionally made my torso look too short.  Not a good look for me (and probably for most taller women with larger chests).  Otherwise, it is a gorgeous dress and I love the bright color. Also love that the skirt has pockets.

I would say the dress runs one size small. I am a size 10 at the chest and size 8 at the waist (5'8", 154 lbs, 36C).  I tried this dress on in size 10 and could not pull the zipper up all the way in the back because it was too tight at the rib cage. 

This dress fit perfectly. I carry weight in my stomach and even though I'm sure it was *supposed* to lay flatter, it still looked great on me. The color was phenomenal, and I definitely stood out amongst the crowd of blues and blacks in the room. The only problem I really had was that I also carry weight in my arms and I ended up with several very small scratches from the beading on the top after a long night of dancing and drinking. I'm also a larger-chested woman and this still fit great. Everyone loved this dress all night long - I'd definitely recommend it, but if you're worried about the beading, I think a simple layer of "For Her" Body Glide would do the trick to protect your arms. 

RTR didn't have this dress in the smaller size but overall to me this ran large. I'm a busty woman so getting a bra was the challenge for this dress. The backless bras didn't work and I needed something. Overall I got a lot of compliments for the night! It was perfect and comfortable to fit in! 

Everyone raved about how much they loved this dress! The only thing that was a little bothersome was the sequins under the arms were a tad scratchy; not enough to cause discomfort/pain, just a little bother. It was a cool day and the wedding was outside, so I really appreciated that the skirt was a bit heavier. And it had pockets! Can't go wrong with that.

I am petite and was nervous about the length of this dress.  I took my son to a black tie event and felt the dress was fun yet classy.  Lots of compliments on the style and color.   It was comfortable and the pockets were an added bonus. 

good for big busted ladies, little big in the waist but very comfortable!

Loved the color of this dress. I'm pear shaped and the only thing that was a problem was it was a little snug in the waist as the night went on while eating and drinking. I'm not super busty either so went braless and felt the top could've fit better (it was a tad loose) but no one would've noticed. Otherwise the dress was great for my wide hips, super comfortable, flattering, and the color was fun. The beading was a little worn in some parts but again no one would notice. Perfect fun dress for a wedding. 

True to size
Color was exactly what I wanted..
Wore it as a wedding guest to a reception...
And ordered it again a year later for a birthday  party ..
Since I’m petite, and 5.0, it fell right at knee which I liked 

I rented this dress for a black tie option wedding. It was the perfect choice for an outdoor summer wedding. The fit was amazing and I received so many compliments. Perfect dress for petite girls. 

Wasn't able to get the black in my size last minute which was disappointing but I made it work and received lots of compliments 

This dress was stunning. I got so many compliments. The fit was very flattering and the pockets were awesome. My ONLY criticism is that the fabric doesn't breathe so I was hot all night long. That said, I'd absolutely order again for a cooler spring or early fall wedding. 

I wore this to a black tie wedding and loved it. It was a little snug on the rib cage but I did not have a problem with the sequins under the arm. 

I love the modern cut with a classic touch. Love everything about this dress. The pockets are very practical. 

This dress is beautiful and I received a ton of compliments. I love the pockets! However it fits weird. The waist was very tight and high so I had to wear a larger size. But then it felt too loose on the top. Also the dress I received looked like it has been worn 10 times. The paint was missing from the zipper and the top area had several snags and hanging strings. You will also have to iron the skirt part. I received mine very wrinkly. But the dress it beautiful. Best for small wasted larger busted women.

Loved the dress! Lots of compliments in a sea of black. Bodice is snug but not tight. You can get away with no bra if desired. The length was just right for me. The color was fabulous!! 

I asked for size 8 and size 10 for backup. I wore the size 10 because it was more comfortable. If you are going to wear a bra, keep in mind that it can't be your regular one.  It is a beautiful dress!

This dress was beautiful! I received so many compliments. Someone even mentioned that in a sea of black dresses, this dress stood out. I loved having the pockets. I didn't even have to carry a purse or clutch because I put my things (phone, key, chapstick) in the pockets. It was true to size so I wore a 4, the only part I didn't fill out was the top which made it a little wrinkly/it didn't sit as nicely. The dress was a little poof-ier (wider at the hips) than I had imagined but that just made it really comfortable. I would definitely recommend this dress for a formal event. 

This dress is very pretty but doesn't look good on big girls. I weight 245 but this dress made me look at least 300. You will need a backless bra or a strapless that you can wear low. I got a lot of compliments on this dress but be forewarned... if you are big, it will accentuate that.

Beautiful dress! So comfortable with pockets. Just enough sparkles! 

When i ordered they only had an 18, I'm a 16/14....so opted for it.  The top was pretty big but still comfy.  Didn't wear a bra and the material was thick enough to not need it.  Loved the color!!!! Brought a nice POP to the sea of LBD's surrounding me.

Overall great fit and the pockets were so incredibly handy.

This dress was so much fun to wear! I was nervous at first because of the bold pink color but I kept accessories simple and it ended up being a classy, fun look. It was comfortable and I received tons of compliments!

This dress was perfect! One thing I LOVED about it was that I didn't have to wear a bra, and I am rather large chested! The back V's down in the back, but still very classy! I wish I could wear this dress forever.. I really felt beautiful. 

Fit perfect, pockets were great, stuck out in a sea of black!   Loved it 

The dress fit great. I'm typically a 16/18, sometimes 20, and I wore the 16, very comfortably. I even had extra room in the bodice.  The inside lining fabric was extremely soft and the sequins on the bodice never bothered my arms. I received several compliments on the dress! My only complaint would be that the sequins on the bodice aren't very sparkly, which is what I was looking for for our Hollywood/Oscar themed event.

I was unsure about the color but my husband loved it.  You will stand out in a sea of black dresses.  I read all of the comments ahead of time so I was prepared and they were accurate.  It runs small - I wear between an 8-10 so I got the 10 & 12.  The 10 was tight in the bodice and a little small in the arm  holes but this is the one I went with.  The 12 made me feel too big. It was perfect for a Christmas Party and all the other women complimented me.

I rented this for a NYE wedding. Perfect amount of sparkle. Im a size 0 and 5'4" and found that it fit like a glove. Would definitely rent this again

This dress fits true to size, if not a little large. I wore this to a wedding and got so many compliments on the dress, especiaally the color. The detail on the bust, fit (including the lack of wrinkling when in a car), and inclusion of pockets makes this dress spectacular. It is one I would definitely wear again. 

Beautiful dress, perfect for a wedding to be formal but fun to dance in. The way the top is cut the arm holes are small and high because of the low back so size up. Does not stretch but not uncomfortable. I'm 5'10" 160lbs, wore an 8R. Tried the 6 and the arms were too tight. I would have done better with a tall size Bc the waist was a little high. Still not uncomfortable. Gorgeous deep pink color, lots of compliments. 

I think I'm a little short (5'2") for the style.  But I still received lots of compliments.  The band around the top does not have any give, so that part was a little snug.  I had read other reviews and rounded up on my size choices, and am very glad I did.  I almost didn't wear it because it was so far outside my normal style- but I'm glad I wore it.  The color is actually a very pretty pink.

I loved this dress. Once it was on, it was beautiful, flattering, and I received a ton of compliments. This was the first RTR dress where I had to go up a size, however. I usually order a 12 and either wear that or get the 10. The 10 happened to not be available, so I rolled the dice and got a 14 as my back up size. Thank goodness I did, because that size fit me better. 
I went braless with this dress because I didn't realize how low the back went (it's not super revealing, but too low for a standard bra). It looked okay, but I would have felt more comfortable with a backless bra or bustier, so be prepared for that. 
Overall, I recommend this dress. Very flattering for a 12/14 size gal. 

This was such a fun little dress to wear for New Years party! I felt very sassy and flirty in it and got lots of compliments.  Be prepared, the top is very tight! The waistband has no stretch at all and if you have a larger bust, this may not be the best choice.  The tightness of the top was a bit uncomfortable, in hindsight, I should have sized up; but, I rented this along with another dress that I opted for the free second size in so I had to make it work.  Definitely a very cute dress though! I really enjoyed it. 

This dress is gorgeous! Bright pink, beautiful sequined top, and very comfortable.  The pockets are an added bonus. 

I do not have a large bust size. Which caused the fabric to bunch at my waist.
