Beautiful maxi; light weight and flows so nicely. Perfect for an outdoor wedding. This was actually my back up dress but I loved it so much I wore it instead!

I had so much fun picking out and receiving this dress to wear to a friend's wedding. It was so beautiful and comfortable. I am 5'2 / 130 pounds and wore the size Medium Petite which was the perfect fit and length with wedge heels. I will say my only struggle was that I'm rather busty so I had to wear a bra which inevitably showed w/ the open back. Also the sides under my arms were poking out so I had to use 2 safety pins. The pros out weighed the cons though and I really loved this dress and my RtR experience! 

The fabric on this is the perfect weight and fits like a dream. Needs a backless bra but can also be worn with no bra. 

This dress was AMAZING!! I wore it for my wedding shower and received so many compliments. The fit is very high quality and the back design is super fun! I had to wear a large as it runs small in the top. The regular length was perfect, I wore flats. 

I wore this dress for my best friend's wedding rehearsal dinner on the beach and got so many compliments. I'd read reviews about it running long so I wore high platformed wedges and the length was perfect. It fit like a glove everywhere but my waist (was a little loose there), so I wore a belt with it. I think it was a nice touch to separate the top and bottom and cinch the waist area. 

I wore pasties instead of a bra and had no issues with the back/top being too loose. I wish I could wear this over and over!! 

I wore the XSR (I knew I would be wearing flats and read that the long size was even too long for many tall girls like myself) and it was a good length for flats. I would have ordered the tall size if I was planning on wearing wedges or heels. It was a beautiful pattern and was very flowy but the top part of the dress seemed a little too big. I wear a 32C/30D but the XSR was still a little baggy in the armpit area. I am not sure if this dress was just stretched by previous wear or if that is the natural fit of the dress. Overall, a nice spring/summer dress and can dressed up or down depending on the occasion, but I probably would not rent it again.

I LOVED this dress, was not the boyfriend's favorite.  After reading reviews I was concerned with the dress being too small and per a stylists request switched from the S to the M.  I should have stuck with the small.  The dress is very large on top, I had at least 2 inches of extra fabric under my arms, however I am sure no one noticed but me.    I wore 4 inch wedges and the dress was still a tad long, but it hangs beautifully.  Very flowy. 

I did love the cut on top, the back is amazing.  I wore a yellow bandeau bra and no one noticed.    This dress is so pretty that accessories are not even a necessity.  I wore spanx to make me more comfortable eating and drinking, but the dress was very flattering even without them.  I wore a denim jacket over it and it toned it down just enough for the casual rehearsal dinner we were attending.  

This was my first time trying rent the runway so I was a little hesitant but the dress was super comfortable, the fabric wasn't too heavy, and the length was perfect (I'm 5'5" and had on shorter 2-3in heels). I had to wear a strapless so the only con was being able to see my bra in a bit in the back but I was able to sticky tape those areas. Aside from that it was a great dress, got a ton of compliments! 

Loved the dress, it was perfect for a wedding outfit. The colors of the dress is much prettier than the model picture shown. The fit was true to size as the dress is not meant to be skin tight. Consistent with other comments was that the dress was a little long, even in the regular. I am 5'3" and wore tall heels, but I ended up tying the dress up on one side in a pretty knot to help with the length. 

The dress fit perfectly through bust (wore it with a nubra), waist, and hips, but was a bit long even with 4 inch wedges.  Color is much brighter in person-- some parts look almost neon. Very light and comfortable. 

I rented the regular length and even with my 5"5' height and 3 inch heels it still dragged on the ground.  I got a lot of compliments on the dress but it wasn't my favorite.  I'm pretty small-chested so I opted to not wear a sticky bra (can't wear a normal bra because the back is completely open). A few of the other reviews I read said that the top is really really big compared to the way the rest of the dress fits, but even with my A-cups I didn't have any problem with it looking droopy. 

This was an awesome dress for a formal beach wedding. The overall fit was a bit small, so I went for the small over the extra small, but the hem was way too long even with wedges. I shortened it 6 inches with hem tape and still had to wear the wedges. 

The small fit like a glove. One of my all-time faves

I wore this dress for an evening wedding in ATL. It was the perfect comfy, flowy, stylish dress; I got so many complements on it! The pattern is such that you could go bra-less (as I did) and no one will know. Otherwise you'll need sticky boobs or something similar since there is a slit down the back that would show a bra. I wore the ML with ~4 inch wedges and it just skimmed the ground. If you're of average height you could wear the regular length with Jack Rogers or something and get the same just barely skimming the ground effect. All around great dress!

I got so many compliments on this dress at the summer wedding I attended. It was elegant and classy but also fun and not too formal. I think the dress runs a little large because I would normally be a "Small" and wore an XS in this dress. The back comes down a little low so I had to make sure my Spanx weren't poking out at my waist and I wore a backless, stick-on bra. The colors are absolutely beautiful. I wore with nude heels (I will admit, the dress was a tiny bit too long and I tripped a bit but only when I was going up stairs) and silver jewelry. Rent this dress!

This dress is beautiful. Gorgeous color and the neckline/back is stunning. I received many compliments. However- the waist of this dress is very small- I could barely get the medium to fit. The top was then big and I had to use fabric tape to make it lay right. Also, the back is open- so you need a sticky bra or go braless. Overall- it was a beautiful dress but a lot of work to make wearable. Definitely size up for your backup.

Unique dress for a spring/summer wedding. I loved this dress and was so sad to return it! The dress was a little snug on the bottom half, fit perfect on the top. 
Although snug I was comfortable and could dance away all night. 
I suggest wearing spanx underneath! Also ordered a sticky bra for the top. Great dress for 'hourglass' figures. 


The fit was perfect except for the top by the bust slightly winged out. Otherwise, this dress was very comfortable and breathable for an outdoor summer event. It could be worn dressy or slightly casual with wedges. I received so many compliments in this dress. 

Beautiful dress but fit very oddly in the bust on the side of the dress. I had to take it to me so the material didn't bulge. Otherwise great dress, nice length. I wore flats but could have worn a very low heel.

I have a pretty big butt with no hips and this dress hung off my body perfectly. I got some of the most compliments I've ever gotten.

This dress was fabulous for a "garden formal" outdoor wedding. It was more comfortable than I expected, and I pinned the back closed just a little so that I could wear a normal strapless bra (otherwise, would have had to go with pasties or other backless option). I also added a belt (which sadly slipped in this pic and others), that added some good interest and covered where the seams meet. Would definitely rent again. 

This dress is gorgeous in person. The picture doesn't do the colors justice. I got a ton of compliments on it. Only issue was it was very long on me even with a platform heels (I'm 5'5).  Otherwise loved it!

First and foremost i MUST SAY, this Dress is GREAT!!! The fit is wonderfully made. It fitted my body frame greatly. 
As i said in a previous review, items could be great but the fit could be just lousy. This dress fits gracefully. When i wear it it makes me feel like a Princess. The pattern was also great! It was wayyy out my 'comfort' zone. I"m not too much for prints and flowers {etc}, but this print was ON THE MONEY!!! when i first laid eyes on it, I knew i had to HAVE IT!! Another Pro to this dress is because of its patterned colors you can pair it with any light color shoe. Fortunately, i had the same colors in a  3-4" wedge shoe and it contrasted beautifully. (see pic).
The ONLY downfall to this dress is: The Dress is long.  Due to me just being 5.1" and having on 4" heels, it wasn't high enough to keep it from dragging the floor a bit. but since it had a 'flare' about itself, i did not trip too often.  The Flare took away from the Length. I hated that the bottom was getting a bit soil. was going to put it in the Cleaners but didn't get the chance. Hope i haven't ruined it. :( (sorry RTR).
Even through the long length, OVERALL, this dress, is the bomb.com. Rent it and see for yourself. You will NOT regret it!!  Looking forward to wearing my next item, which i just received.  "theory Prosecco Efersten Skirt" .
Until my next review .....
Stay Bless!!

The back of this dress is so unique and different and it was just what I was looking for. The colors definitely popped and it was perfect for a casual country club wedding. I received so many compliment! Very comfortable and sturdy. The bottom of the dress has a little extra fabric so it was perfect for dancing!

This dress worked really well.  The fit was great throughout.  I thought going without a bra would be a problem, but it wasn't for me at all.  I ordered the 4L because of my height, but I really could have gone with the regular length. Even with 3" heels, I had to hold it up sometimes when I was walking or going up stairs. I love the extra amount of material on the bottom part of the dress; it really helps it to flow well. I had never rented from RTR before, but I will definitely use them again.

This dress was gorgeous! Despite what other reviewers noticed, I thought this dress was a bit snug in the bust (and I'm small in that area!). I went with Spanx underneath and used some fashion tape on the opening in the back to hide them. 

As for the length, I'm 5'9" and wore flats, and the regular was the perfect length. I would not go with the long unless you are 5'10" or taller!

Fit perfect. Could wear three inch heels and still touched ground. 

I wore this to my sisters graduation from Graduate School. I loved the pattern of this dress and the fit. One thing I would keep in mind though is it is extremely loose in the best area and very long. I am 5'4"
 and it was dragging within 3/4in heels

I loved this dress for a formal wedding. Great fabric but still nice and light for spring. Downside is that you cannot wear it with a bra due to the open back.

I think it looks great on you- I have the body type you mention so I will try it as a Mother of the Groom dress for a farm wedding this summer!

This dress would be perfect if you were 5'6" and had a D chest. This is not me, sadly. I was able to manage the length, but I had to safety pin the dress at the top... my B's weren't cutting it. I think this dress would be perfect for a D Cup with a small waist, possibly even a DD. All said, I did love it, and I'm very happy I rented it.

I wore this dress to an outdoor wedding in Santa Cruz, CA. I am 5' 4" and wore the XS, and with 4 inch heels, the dress length was perfect. Without heels, the dress is going to be mopping the floor. As previously mentioned in the other reviews, the top is a little big on the sides however, with a little bit of fashion tape, the problem was solved. The back of the dress is beautiful, as is the print. It could have fit a little better in the top, but for such a beautiful print, I had to make it work, and I think I did! 

Contrary to the fit notes, this dress runs large on top and is a bit fitted in the hips, (Not "hip hugging" fitted, but definitely not completely A line like it says in the notes. So if you're pear shaped, it could be a problem). Luckily, you can pin the back of the top so it isn't hanging all over the place, and you can order a second size up in case your hips don't fit into the smaller size. 

This is a really fun dress for a formal (I wore it to law school prom) or a spring/summer wedding. You'll get lots of compliments and the dress fans out when you spin! 

A little snug around the hips, but very comfortable and beautiful! 

This maxi dress is great for spring and summer! The pattern on the dress is really vibrant and unique in person, the photos don't quite do the color justice! The full skirt has beautiful flowing movement when you walk! This dress is perfect for a beach wedding or daytime events.  The dress runs pretty true to size, I have on the Small and it was a bit roomy, I would wear the size XS. 

Loved it. A bit roomie on the sides of the bust. Not sure if just this one or the whole cut in general but I went w/o a bra and it worked great.
