This dress was gorgeous and made me feel amazing.

The details on this dress are gorgeous awesome for a curvy girl. This accentuated my curves in all the right places. I did not wear a bra and I am a 36 DDD. I received many compliments on this dress. I would buy.

So many compliments!

This dress is so pretty! A lot of other reviews have rented this for a special occasion, but it can definitely be dressed down. I threw a denim jacket over it, and headed off to brunch. This is a must rent!

Stole the show and fit like a glove!

This dress was so comfy, I received tons of compliments, and no bra needed. There were no cons with this dress and I didn't have to use the backup size. It fit true to size and it typically varies for me since my entire closet is Free People. I can't wait to go purchase it in the store!

RTR Stylist Review

Fun and stylish Printed Lace Sweetheart Midi Dress! Easy to wear and extremely comfortable. Running true to size, we recommend going one size up for backup. With stretch in the fabric and a loose fit in the bust, this dress is best for cup sizes A - C. The midsection is fitted yet comfortable. If you’re curvier, you may want to consider sizing up due bust area. One thing that I love about this dress is the open shoulder detailing; however you can still wear any standard bra. The cream lace and back detailing make this dress super flattering. This dress is perfect for any outdoor or day time occasion. It would look best with your favorite heels and accessories.

Worked on a bump!

I wore this 30 weeks pregnant. Most importantly, the lining underneath the dress is SHORT. My booty was nearly sticking out. This is not a comfortable dress and I got out of it asap. All this being said, I think it looked great--really fun dress. Also, a bigger bust is better--I had to pin the top because it was too loose.

Favorite RTR dress!

Wore it for my bridesmaid’s luncheon and absolutely loved! Late in reviewing this but I think it fit pretty true to size- I was lucky in that it fit so well but I can see how some may have issues with the fit as I don’t believe the straps were adjustable. So so so beautiful and fun though, loved the colors.

Such fun colors and comfortable

I ordered this for Easter and ended up letting my sister wear the size 2, while I wore the 0. It runs very large, usually I'm a 2 and she's a 4 or 6 but it fit us both fine. It was conservative enough for church with a scarf on the shoulders but also very flattering to the figure. I love the fun colors!

Just as stunning the second time!

I love Free People, and when I rented a dress from this website I really wanted to rent something that felt like *me*, and this dress didn't disappoint at all. I love this dress so much that I've rented it TWICE from RTR for two different weddings. It's so beautiful and perfect for the spring. I received tons of compliments. I remember my one 'issue' was that the straps are very long.

Pretty dress, unique

Loved this one. Top is low cut w open lace between breasts, FYI. The back is very bare, so it's not a modest dress, but it's really romantic & pretty. I wore it to rehearsal dinner for wedding & got several compliments. It was very comfortable all things considered.

Fit + Flare + Fun

This dress was so much fun to wear. The colors were very interesting and it had great detail in the build. It wasn't too tight in the hips and my only complaint was that it was slightly loose in the top because I couldn't fill it out naturally. That was easily corrected with a sticky bra though! I received many compliments as we danced the night away!

Unique dress with intricate details.

Great dress! I wore the smaller size that I ordered and the straps fit well. The front has lace in the bust area. I went braless as I am a smaller chested gal. Loved this dress and would highly recommend!

Great summer dress!

Wore this to a promotion party, received compliments all night. Straps on the back of the dress weren't as tight as I would have liked could probably afford to size down but overall loved this dress!!

Incredible dress

This was a gorgeous dress that photographs well as a bonus. I will say the back straps were quite long ( which was fine was I'm tall) but may be an issue. Still deserves five stars for the unique and gorgeous look!

Loved it so much that I bought it!

I absolutely love this dress. It is so comfortable and can be dressed up or down for many different occasions! The straps do run a little big in the back. I would say most people could probably get away with even sizing down. The underneath layer is also very short. I am 5'9 and it barely worked for me length wise. But I loved it so much that I bought it and will be adding a little length to the bottom layer.

Best dress for my bridal shower at a winery

I wore this dress to my winery bridal shower! Everyone complimented it all night long. I loved it except for how big the straps were in the bag, i needed to use a safety pin. I wore the 2

I wore size 10 because a smaller size wasn't available so the straps were too long but I loved this dress! I got so many compliments at my bridal shower. It was lovely and whimsical and very comfortable. Would rent again!

Perfect for engagement party!

I rented this dress for my engagement party and loved it! The body fit like a glove without being too tight. The one thing I would mention is that this dress might be better for ladies with a larger bust. There was a bit of movement of fabric up top but not enough to make me feel uncomfortable and one of the supporting straps was a tad long. But other than that, I got so many compliments and felt like a dream at my party (:

I didn't want to return it!!

This was the perfect dress for an outdoor summer wedding! I received so many compliments. The lace and bright purple color made it fun and whimsical. The material was also pretty weightless which was a bonus in the heat. The straps do run a little large - but I guess that' better than losing circulation. I will say the lace around the chest is starting to look a little worn, but you only really notice it when you study the dress up close. Overall 10/10!

Was complimented on this dress non stop!

My only gripe with this dress would be the long straps, which I suppose I could’ve pinned if they really bothered me that much. However even with the loose straps, I felt comfortable and confident going braless in this dress — and as a 32G I NEVER do that!! I wore this dress for my bridal shower and as an alternative to a white dress, I couldn’t have picked a better summer shower dress. Beautiful colors and textures, and a flattering cut for my shape. I was complimented all day at the shower (to be expected haha) but even on social media, the dress was a big hit. I highly recommend!! I tried updating my profile and it deleted my first review. Just for reference I am 5’6, 175 lbs, and a pear/hourglass-ish shape. I rented a 10 and 12 and the top on the 12 was too big, even with my generous chest.

RENT THIS DRESS! Sooo many compliments.

Just perfect for a summertime barn wedding. Super comfy, had plenty of room for my baby bump. Straps were a little long so I pinned them. Plenty of room in the bust, wore a sticky bra and had no issues. Ran a little large but I was totally fine with it! Wish I could have kept it, didn't want to take it off.

I was complimented all night and also comfortable. I felt beautiful in this dress.

It does run big so I went with the 2 and 0 and ended up wearing the 0. The straps were a little big but nothing terrible or anything that bothered me throughout the night. definitely suggest this dress for your summer wedding!!!

I got so many compliments for my bridal shower! I could have gone with a 6 but an 8 was fine.

It was very comfortable and fit my body nice, the 8 was large up top so I had to use a safety pin on the straps. Otherwise, no complaints, it was the perfect dress!

I've never received so many compliments!

This dress fit really well and was very flattering. I wore the size down because the straps felt a little loose, but overall it was a fun dress to wear for a night out. I was easily able to sit and walk around in it all night. Would definitely rent this one again!

Bachelorette Party Brunch!

Loved this dress, and would buy it if I could! I usually wear a 10 in dresses, but ordered this one in an 8 as per the reviews- and I'm glad I did- it fit like a glove! Only downside was the top of the dress wasn't too supportive (I am relatively busty) as the straps are long and not adjustable. However, straps could have easily been pinned for better support. The dress dips low in the back, so I wore a backless, strapless sticky bra with this, which worked pretty well. This dress was very flattering on me and I got so many compliments. Highly recommended for women with a similar body type as mine.

SIMPLE & ELEGANT PERFECT FOR ANY OCCASION!

I'm 5'10/160lbs. I usually wear a 6 in dresses but should have worn a 4 in this dress. I'm a 34DDD and have a long torso and the straps were still a little long but I didn't have to pin anything. It's a simple elegant dress and was the perfect selection for my brothers wedding.

Birthday dress!!

I wore this dress to my past birthday dinner. The lace detail, soft colors, and sexy back sold me immediately. The only con I had was that the waistline was kind of high, so it didn't hit me at my most flattering spot.

Beautiful and Feminine!

I fell in LOVE with this dress! I wore it the last evening of Fashion Week and it turned heads all night! It is unique and feminine. The dress runs large...I wore a size 2 and I typically wear a 4 or 6. It's great for hourglass figures as it compliments your bust while slenderizing your waist and hips. This dress is the reason I like RTR....great price and different look! Be ready to feel beautiful and stand out in a crowd!

Perfect dress for Summer wedding!

I loved this dress the minute I saw online, and got compliments all night! I was worried about Free People not fitting well/running small, so ordered an additional size. The dress fit great, and the size 10 was perfect with room to spare...and best of all didn't have to wear a bra :) would totally recommend!!

Romantic, Lace, Sheer, & Sexy

I loved the lightweight fabric of this dress! The lace and detail were very pretty and I had compliments all night. The top runs a little large (and I don't have small boobs), so I would just be mindful of sizing. I wore the smaller of the 2 that I rented.
