Compliments all night

I LOVED this dress! The fact that I could wear a regular bra was my favorite part. It was a little long due to the bigger size needed to accommodate “the girls” but nothing a higher heel couldn’t fix.

PERFECT for destination tropical wedding

Warning: unless you’re 5’10” this has a train. I wore 5-6” stacked heel sandals and it was very long but seemed to be designed to be long and have a little train. Otherwise absolutely stunning, very comfy. Zips up the back. Easy to wear a normal bra. Lined, lightweight. I’m normally a size 4 in US and 10 worked for me.

Gorgeous (but long!)

This dress is a stunner. It’s a little tight throughout the body so not great for wild dance floor moves, but was fine for me. Only thing to note is it’s very long. I’m 5’6’’ and even with heels, I was stepping on it a bit.

Typically a 4/6; went with 12

Not a lot of give on this; so order a size up for back-up. I got a ton of compliments! Quite long, I wore with 3.5 in heels and still was dragging.

The BEST wedding guest dress

Wore for a Cabo wedding and it was perfect. So many compliments, easy to dance in. I listened to reviews and sizes up almost two (because of AUS sizing) and the 10 fit like a glove. I have bigger hips and didn’t feet tight at all

Best dressed

After reading reviews I sized up! I'm usually a 12 but ordered a 16 and it was perfect. I ordered both size 14 and 16- the 14 fit but was very tight- like afraid to sit down, the 16 worked better and I just tied the strings extra tight to give me some waist back. This dress had everyone's jaws dropping. I got so many compliments it was insane. BEST DRESSED AT THE WHOLE WEDDING. get this one!

My NOLA Riverboat Rehearsal Dinner Dress

I wore this for my wedding rehearsal and it was so flattering! I received tons of compliments. Loved the colors and fit, although would suggest going with a bigger size. I got an 8 when I am usually a 4 or 6. 100% would rent again, the husband told me I should buy which says a lot.

a stunning dress for the Bridgerton Experience!

Glad I followed my hunch on this one! This dress follows UK sizing, which is 2 sizes "up" from US sizing. I typically wear a US 8 but went with a US 10/UK 14 with this one because I have a larger chest. Honestly, it would have been even better in my original size, a UK 12. If the sizing reviews are scaring you off, worry not, this amazing, gorgeous, vibrant, BEAUTIFUL dress is true to your UK size.

Great dress

It fit perfect.. i was worried since reviews said it ran really small. I worn the UK 6. I’m normally a small around a 0 or a 2. It is fitted in the torso - but that’s what makes its sexy classy . I never took a pic standing. I’m 5’3 I did wear pretty tall heals. But they looked great. I included a pic of how high my shoes were and which ones I wore. I say it was a hit!

Gorgeous, but heed size/length notes!

This dress was made for someone 6” taller, but was able to safety pin along the seams that run vertically up the sides of the dress to temporarily shorten. Sized up from a US 2-4 to a UK 10 and it fit like a glove. Loved the dress, despite it being a mini project

This dress was so beautiful and easy to wear. I received so many compliments.

The dress in a 16 fit like a US 10. I’m 5’5 and wore 2” heels and while it was a little long I noticed numerous other guests wearing dresses that “puddled” as well. Rented the purse too! This was my first experience with RTR and I’m a total fan now in spite of my back up sizes not being available. I was attending an out of town wedding and wished I would have done 7 day rental vs 4. Stressed about arrival time and whether either dress I selected would work. I was VERY happy with this dress!

Fits tight without a lot of give- I’m usually a size 6 and got the 12 and it fit right! Tight enough to not wear a bra! Loved it.

AMAZING DRESS!!!

My absolute fav rental so far! The dress was so comfortable and flattering, I felt like a princess all night! Received too many compliments to count. As said on other reviews, it runs very small so I sized up 2 sizes; got an 8 and 10. Thankful I did because I ended up wearing the 10! RENT THIS DRESS!! 💚

LOVE

I absolutely loved this dress! Wore to a black tie wedding in Palm Springs and got so many compliments. It’s so fun and fits like a glove. It definitely runs small and has zero stretch. I’m usually a US 6/8 and I read the reviews and got the UK 12 (US8) and the UK 14 (US10) and went with the 14. The 12 fit but was very tight in the hips and I wanted to be able to dance. I was also able to wear a regular bra with the dress with a little fashion taping. Overall felt amazing and would rent again!

Gorgeous but Tight!

This was another RTR home run as it was a non-stop compliment getting dress. It was long and hit the ground on me with 3" heels, but it wasn't difficult to walk in. It was, however, VERY tight. I wore a size 10 UK and it barely fit my hips even with spanx. There is no stretch at all to the fabric, so be aware and heed the recommendations to size WAY up. The top fit great and no bra needed! Highly recommend this one but it requires heels and sizing up- then prepare for tons of compliments!!

Great dress!!!

So glad I found this dress because it was perfect. If you have any curves would side up because its tight in the hips/butt, it’s Australian sizes too btw so a 10=US 6. It was perfect for a summer wedding, I got many compliments and was very comfortable throughout the night. 10/10

Beautiful and Does Run Small!

The color of this dress is beautiful and the fit is so flattering. Consistent with other reviewers, it does run small. Im normally a 0 and I wore an 8. There is no stretch at all. I especially loved that you can wear a normal bra.

OBSESSED - best dressed!

I’m SO obsessed with this dress! It’s such a fun wedding statement and could work for a semi-formal or formal event. I was 100% the best dressed guest at the wedding and got so many compliments. This dress hugs you in the right areas but has a flowy bottom that is very easy to walk in. The dress is tight but had plenty of give while sitting down and was comfortable. Definitely size up, I’m usually between a 4/6 and probably could have gone with a 10 for this dress but the 8 was fine once I squeezed my hips in! Purse and earrings are RTR too :)

Loved it!

I loved wearing this dress! It was so unique and special. A couple things to note though: - I usually wear a size 6 or 8 in most brands, but here I wore a size 12 dress! It runs big so check the size guides. - The dress was very long and even with heels, it dragged. Not sure if that was intentional but I found it a little annoying.

Stunning but runs very small

I am slim build small bust petite and wore a size 10 the 12 would have fit better but with spanx and breast life tape that helped with smoothing it -looked great! Since I am 5’5” the dress was long. I could have worn 4 inch heels but I wore 3 inch and held the dress when I walked which was no big deal. Size up about 4 sizes if you are curvy, read all of the reviews. I normally wear 0-2 in regular clothing but wore a 10 in this. I received so many compliments! The green is so beautiful! Not a color I would wear normally but it was a great choice! I also rented the Kenneth Jay Lane crystal lady bug dangle earrings and they elevated the look!! I was so pleased with this dress and earrings!!! Absolutely beautiful pieces!

Amazing, fitting, floor length dress - so many compliments

I would 100% recommend this dress! It was great quality, I got so many compliments, and it hugged my body just right. I would suggest sizing up - I am typically a size 6, I ordered sizes 10 and 12 and the 12 fit best! It is also very long, I am 5’7” and wore ~4 inch platform heels and the dress still touched the floor! I really love this dress!

WORE IT TWICE!

Wore it to 2 summer weddings and received non-stop compliments. I will likely rent again because it’s that’s stunning in person. The fabric looks very high end, doesn’t wrinkle and is super lightweight. Rent 2 sizes up (USA sizing) there is no stretch!! It’s okay if it’s slightly big, the way the fabric fits is forgiving.

Beautiful but runs small

Beautiful dress but runs small and is very tight in the hips. I didn’t size up because I was worried about the length. I’m only 5’3” and it was still too long with heels but I made it work. Overall I loved the dress but it probably would have been more comfortable if I would have sized up.

Fit like a glove - literally!

The reviews I read were very inconsistent - I am so glad I got an extra size just in case! For reference, I am a standard size 6 in US sizes. I ended up wearing the size 12 in EUR sizing. I have a smaller waist and rounder hips/behind, with an overall athletic build. Without my behind, I would have been ok in the EUR size 10. This dress fits well to the body, complimented my smaller chest, was perfect for a tall body and long legs, and handled a hot Texas day super well! I got lots of compliments and would definitely wear again. Perfect for a Garden Cocktail themed wedding. :)
