Most complimented dress ever

This dress was super comfortable and I've never had more people come up to me asking where I got it. A little big in the bust, but not an issue at all. Super happy with this one!

This dress is perfect!

I am so tempted to buy this dress and wear it every day. It's so flattering, the boning is great because it don't fall down, and the beading is beautiful. If you're thinking about renting it, do it!

Beautiful Dress

First, I would like to give RTR a shout out for being an incredible company with exceptional customer service. My backup size was unavailable and RTR immediately contacted and asked for replacement dresses. However, everything was too close to my schedule event, and unfortunately wasn’t able to receive a backup dress. However, RTR immediately contacted me and compensated me for the issues. Needless to say, I am very happy with RTR. Now to the dress, this dress is so beautiful, and more so in person. I’m normally a 10/M, sometimes a 12/L, with measurements of 38/32/43, the size Large fit me like a glove. The length was a bit longer on me because I’m 5ft3in short, placing me on the petite spectrum. The light blue color suited my olive/tan complexion. I received so many compliments, that’s how you know you look good.

Never got so many compliments in my life

Seriously - have NEVER gotten so many compliments in my life. It was stunning. It fit me perfectly, but anyone with a wider waist should probably size up if they’re in between sizes. It was such a fun dress to wear!!! The sequins somewhat rubbed against my arms but nothing too awful. Also I’m a 32D bra size and the girls were definitely on display in a flattering way, but FYI for those who may not want to have cleavage showing too much.

I got compliments all night, beautiful color and beading, no need for a bra because it has a lot of built in support.

Cutest dress ever

Snug up top (worked essentially as a push-up bra, which I don't need lol so something to note if you are bigger chested and aren't going for that type of look) but I received endless compliments on it at the wedding to which I wore it. The details on the dress are gorgeous.

Get it!!

Loved this dress! The fit was great and the design felt unique — I received compliments all day. I didn’t think blue was my color, but the mix of yellow tones made it surprisingly flattering on my olive/yellow-toned skin. Based on reviews, I thought I’d be an XS, but the sizing is pretty standard — a Small fits like a true size 4.

Stunning

I got so many compliments on this dress. It was stunning in person and perfect for a cocktail wedding. Only downside was the top was big on me and i found myself pulling it up constantly (I’m a B cup)z I did try to use fashion tape but to no avail. I would just get some inserts to fill in the top more if I rented it again.

I wore this to a July wedding and literally everyone loved my dress! The embroidery was so classy and the shape so flattering. The dress and the backup came on time and it was very easy to return at UPS.

More shimmery than photos show, beautiful dress for wedding

Beautiful dress, fit perfect for a summer wedding. The sequences do rub against your arm (above biceps) after a while and it can be a little annoying. Otherwise, loved it and had lots of compliments.

VaVaVoom!

Sexy! Flattering! Made for people w light eyes! I was worried it’d be too light for a wedding guest dress but it wasn’t. Didn’t end up wearing bc I thought it might not be the most comfy for dancing or sitting so I went with a different dress but it would’ve been fine. Def need someone to help zip it up. I’ll prob rent it again for another event bc it’s gorgeous

I loved this dress! Got so many compliments and I felt so pretty. It’s not the most comfortable (the corset waist was tight on me and the beads rub up on your armpits) but I still loved wearing it. So sparkly!

Love!!!

I loved this dress so much that I considered buying it. I received so many compliments!! S/o to RTR for the free backup size because I ended up needing it. Based on the size chart, I would have worn a large, but I am bigger chested so I ended up wearing the XL

Very beautiful dress, sparkles in the light and I loved wearing it. Got many compliments on it. Medium was a bit tight but went towards that one to stay up better than large.

Absolutely loved!!!

Fits in all of the right places, definitely a little snug in the waist and chest region but felt so secure all night so it was worth it as I feel the large would have been too big!

RENT IT!

LOVED this dress and got so many compliments all night long. Fit like a glove. Not ideal for small chests - I decided not to wear a strapless bra because it showed a little. Without a bra, I unfortunately did not fill out the cups so I used some boob tape to keep the top in place. Made it work!

Loved this dress!!

People were coming up to me all night to tell me how cute my dress was! I was so excited to find a strapless dress that I could wear - as a smaller chested person, usually strapless dress never stay up but the bodice on this one was tight enough (but still comfortable!) that everything was snug. 10/10!

Felt so pretty!

Loved the dress and got so many compliments! Fit longer on me than I expected. I'm usually a size 8 or 10, the M was a tad too tight and the L a bit too big. Just my luck I guess. Got away with the medium. Date wore a yellow and blue tie :) matched nicely.

Perfect for spring/summer!

I received so many compliments on this dress for a May wedding I attended. The small was a bit snug in the bust but I think a medium would have been too big. Thankfully it worked out cause I didn’t have to wear a bra or worry about pulling it up all night. Only downside was the sequins start rubbing your arms after awhile but overall, beautiful dress and great for any spring or summer event.

I loved this dress so much! It wasn’t to hot it fit like a glove. I will say the top is tricky for a large bust. It could use some padding for structure in the cup area.

Beautiful and fit well!

Usually a size 4, the small fit absolutely perfectly. B cup and the chest was just a little big on me but the dress was structured so it wasn’t sliding down. Compliments all night! Fun to dance in :) highly recommend! Only downside was the sequins scratched my inner arms a little bit but would rent again despite that!

Just Perfect!

It fit me just right! I got SO many complements and even considered buying it! I have a pretty small chest, so this was great. If you have a small-medium bust size its perfect. The corset helps sinch you in - but I'd say its VERY true to size. The details are so stunning in person. I only wish I got better photos. Will rent again!
