Beautiful color and lace material

I thought this dress fit true to size and was comfortable all night long. I received a ton of compliments. The back of the dress was stunning as well!

STUNNING Blue Dress!

I rented this for an early summer wedding and it was a hit! I got so many compliments and loved how the dress made me feel. The blue was stunning and lovely. I wore without a bra and didn't have any issues. The ties in the back are a little complex but nothing I couldn't figure out on my own. I HIGHLY recommend this one!

Perfect formal/summer dress!

I absolutely loved this dress! It is formal, yet you can wear it down as well. I wore this in Hawaii for a formal awards ceremony. It fit great, was perfect length for short girls, and because I have small boobs, I didn't need to wear a bra. I would highly recommend! If you need a bra, you'll obviously have to wear a Nubra, but I have one myself and it works perfectly for this type of dress. If I knew I could wear this again and again and again I would have purchased this in a heartbeat. I got soooo many compliments.

Perfect for a couples shower!

This dress was adorable and so flattering/easy to wear! I agree that it ran big because I am a pretty standard size 2 and I ended up wearing the 0 with no tightness or discomfort. The boning was sticking out of the fabric a bit which hurt pulling the dress on but didn't bother me once it was on. The open back balanced the length and high neck very nicely, and I received compliments from guests of all ages. Would definitely recommend!

Perfect for dancing but still formal enough for black tie!

Could have probably worm the 4 as i had a little too much fabric in the back when i tied it. Overall a beauitufl color for us blondies. It was so so so so comfortable! Spent all night dancing and it didnt miss a beat. It was also elegant enough for a black tie wedding. Loved it!

The perfect outdoor wedding dress!

This dress runs true to size and is very comfortable. The tie back straps in the back also really make a statement for the dress. I really liked the tea length which made the dress feel even more elegant. The color just popped and was great for the outdoor vintage barn wedding that I was attending! All around 5 stars for this beautiful dress!

Great style and color!

I ordered both the size 6 and 8 and though both fit well I went with the 6 as it felt more supportive on top with the tie-back style. Being able to adjust the back and make it looser or tighter was great. I'm only 5'4" and though the midi style is a bit longer on me, I still felt like it looked really nice with my wedges. Also the underlying skirt being shorter looked really nice, but my only complaint is that it bunched a bit underneath. I received many compliments and the blue color photographed great! As my first RTR dress, I was very impressed!

Stunning color and loved the back!

I felt so sexy in this dress even though it was pretty modest in the front... the open back was amazing! I received several compliments at the wedding I attended. My only complaint is that even the size 0 was a bit too long on me (I'm 5'4") so it came to almost my ankles which is sort of an awkward length but even still I would rent this again. Loved it!

Itchy skirt

The dress was gorgeous and I got a ton of compliments, but there is like a plastic mesh lining in the skirt to weigh it down that's very itchy. Maybe wear nude shorts/spanks under it or something. If I had done that, it would've been fine.

Beautiful color!

A very vibrant blue! I received tons of compliments on this dress! However, for my height it was a bit long to be considered "Midi" but I went with it anyway. I have a larger chest so I had to ensure the ties were tied extra tight in order to prevent any side boob-age from happening. This got semi-uncomfortable as the night went on, especially once we hit the dance floor. It was a gorgeous dress, but I would not rent again.

Bold Blue Lace

I wore this for my best friend’s wedding in North Carolina at the end of September, and it was perfect! I would say it’s just as vibrant as the pictures, and the material is very light and soft —When I think of lace on a dress, I imagined it to be hard and thick, but it’s not at all. The lace-up back lends itself to the wearer since it gives as much or as little room as you want. My only real concern was that it can pull easily, so I was careful not to get caught on anything, including my rings. Overall, I got many compliments on the dress, and I had a tough time deciding whether or not I wanted to buy it at the end of it all!

Gorgeous Blue

Rented this dress for a summer wedding in the South and it was perfect for the heat and humidity. The blue is rich and vibrant, loved the color. Dress is backless so it's sexy and yet, quite appropriate for a wedding. I'm short (only 5 feet tall) but it was a good length on me. Hit just above the ankle.

Outdoor Summer Wedding Perfection

This dress fit true to size. I'm 5'4", 125 pounds and the size 2 was perfect. The material is light enough to brave the summer heat but thick enough to cover any sweat marks. The bodice has some boning which is great for a little structure but not too much to trade comfort for style. I would suggest ordering 2- I also ordered a 0, which would have worked as well, but the embroidery was snagged (which I'm sure over time is bound to happen). So many compliments on this dress- loved it.

Gorgeous, but if you're tall, read this!

The dress is beautiful, and I received several compliments. However, if you're tall, the slip underneath is quite short. I am 5'9", with a long torso, and the slip went down to my fingertips (ie, my upper thigh, a few inches, if it were an inseam on a pair of shorts). The lace provides coverage, but you can still see skin underneath. I had some doubts about wearing it, but ended up going for it. I wore it (with a cardigan for the ceremony, since it is backless) and it was beautiful.

The back!

This dress is very flattering! Runs TTS, and hit mid-calf on my 5'3 frame. The color is beautiful and stands out almost as much as the back. The only con- the underskirt hem was stiff to give the dress structure, and it was kind of warped... I think it has been messed up with wear, but you couldn't tell when the dress was on, so I didn't care.

That blue dress!

This dress definitely required help with the back ties, but otherwise it was a show stopper. I got so many compliments on the beautiful indigo blue color. I wore it for a fall wedding in Texas. The little straps stayed surprisingly secure and comfortable throughout the night.

Perfect for late summer wedding. Lots of compliments. Felt unique but not too stand-out-ish.

5'5", 130 lbs. Usually wear an XS/S or size 2-6, depending. Size 2 fit perfectly - bc of the strings in the back, you can really tie it as tight or loose as you want. You could really dress this UP or Down. I wore this to a relatively fancy September wedding (many but not all women were in floor-length dresses) and I felt appropriately dressed with the midi length. The color is super pretty, too. One small "complaint" is that the lace by the arms/shoulders was a bit floppy. I would have preferred it to be stiffer and stay flat on the skin, but no biggy. I tried to iron it down, but it didn't stay. Heads up: It shows a lot of back, and you'll need to wear a bra without a back.

Bold color, fun fabric, sexy back.

I usually wear a 4 in dresses, a 6 in pants. Wore a 4 and it fit true to size. Strapped back allowed me to tighten the dress to accommodate a small bust. Tea length would probably work best on taller girls. I am 5'8, wore 3" heels and the hem hit mid shin. Beautiful dress, love the color!

Perfect dress for a summer wedding

Rented this dress for a summer backyard wedding and it was perfect. Fit just right especially with the adjustable straps. It was slightly longer than a typical "midi" length. Given how popular this dress is, I felt it was in great condition and didn't appear worn, especially the blue color being very vibrant.
