Loved it!

If I could, I would buy this dress! I’m petite, and very hard to find a dress that fits my height and body type. The length is just right for me with 3 1/2 inch heels. Great material, very forgiving hiding my flaws. One doesn’t really need to wear a bra, but I wore one of those sticky cups just to add a little cleavage. I’d rent this again given the chance. One of my favorite rentals

Busty

If you have a larger chest beware it’s very booby but it’s amazing for a destination wedding. Halter does hurt your neck at the end of the night.

So cute. So comfy.

I ordered a size larger bc it is all that was available, and while it fit, it was a little too big so I’d def say true to size! Was so flattering!!

Very comfortable!

I wore this dress for a wedding in Colombia. It was comfortable and breathable. I am 5’6, 135 pounds and I got a size medium. I got so many compliments on this dress and I would rent it again!

Very flattering and comfy!

I rented this for my birthday photo shoot/going out to eat on my birthday and I absolutely loved this dress. It hugged all my curve, was so comfy, and I didn’t even have to wear a bra (I’m a 36G USA!!) I will more than likely rent it again for another special occasion, I absolutely loved this dress!

Magnificent

Very boob-tabular but that didn’t bother me. The ruffles and cut were beautiful. Has some boning to support the top and the high slit made me feel so pretty. Will definitely be renting again.

Best-Dressed Wedding Guest

This was a little outside my comfort zone, but I’m glad I wore it. I felt so glamorous. I had to try several different bras before I found one that worked with the low cut. I rigged a super-padded push up, and woah, cleavage! I was a little unsure if it was too much (not used to that—I’m pretty small), but during their dance, the bride and groom were chatting about the best-dressed wedding guest, and the bride said me. The mother of the groom said the same. I’m glad I went outside my comfort zone a little! The fabric is so nice. It was brand-new with tags still on. What a great find from RTR!

Formal Floral Dress

This was a formal floral dress that I had rented as an option for a black tie wedding. I didn't end up wearing it since I didn't think the floral vibe fit the Italian castle venue, but it was very soft and comfortable to wear.

Great dress

I received SOOO MANY COMPLIMENTS!! The dress was super lightweight and comfortable for a barn wedding with a 102 heat index. The zipper was a little bit of a struggle at the top but it was an amazing dress! I used Boombas in the dress to give the girls a little lift.

Great sexy dress

The only reason i did not give it a 4 is because I did not end up picking it to wear at the wedding. Fit great and was really comfortable. The leg split was a bit high I felt for me to be really comfortable at my neices wedding.

Better than I thought!

This was my second backup dress, but this is what I finally chose to wear to a black tie optional wedding as a guest. It was long for my short frame and a little large in the chest as well. Medium was all that was available in the short timeframe for an urgent backup. The halter tie was tied as short/tight as possible and still was low for a deep cleavage. Many compliments on the dress and it was otherwise comfortable. Would have likely need ideal in a small petite for me!

wedding pre party

Absolutely loved this dress. Everything fit perfectly but the top was a tad big on my chest (but I am overall smaller chest, size b, maybe even an a). But it worked and you can adjust the halter which helped!

Best wedding dress ever !

Wore this to a « black tie optional » wedding. I don’t think I’ve ever enjoyed wearing a dress so much!! Dancing & twirling in this was a blast. The colors are vibrant & incredibly comfortable material. The top built in bra was a little awkward on me— but that also likely was due to being smaller chested as I didn’t fill it out. It was not visible at all to others though ! Rent this dress for the next wedding you attend & you won’t regret it :)

This dress is perfection. Definitely need a specific low back and low front bra if your girls don't sit up naturally, but I felt like a knock out all night! Comfortable as well.

Summer Nights

The dress was more gorgeous in person and looked even better on! It was a tad long but with heels I pulled it off being only 5’1”. The bust area was a little large but not that noticeable. I was between a small and medium but I chose medium because it was much more comfortable. When viewing the dress online I got tropical vibes/party dress. However, when I put it on it looked sexy and classy. I wore it out on a date night to a nice restaurant and definitely turned some heads!

Very comfy!

I’m a L and ordered the XL though i think the L would have been fine. This dress is very comfy. The material is soft and the bodice is thick so it provides support (didn’t need anything covering the girls) and very flattering.

This dress is constructed amazingly well with built-in support for the chest area . It was low-cut and a bit tight for me, so I didn't wear it. Great dress for a younger lady.
