flattering! the boobs do fit in, trust!

for the bigger busty babes you won't be able to wear a bra... I squeezed in. It felt like it wouldn't fit but with boob adjustments once on it does! It did a wee bit of flattening but wasn't noticeable to others and it kept them in there tight even for a night of dancing. Very flattering shape & design. Loads of compliments.

Rent it!!

This dress will light up any room because it’s a beautiful shade of yellow. I received so many compliments. It’s a bit tight in the mid section so if you are apple shaped, I would suggest going up a size

Little Tight in Chest

Super cute and flattering. The chest was a tiny bit tight if you have a bigger bust, but I would not have changed out the size if I could.

Pretty in yellow!

Feminine dress that flatters your waist. The sleeves were a little puffier than expected, but I love a statement sleeve! Beautiful color and pattern.

Runs small in ribcage, size up

I first ordered the medium and it was too small in the ribcage. The large fit much better. This is a super flattering dress if you have hips. It’s linen so needs to be ironed. It does have a small hole in the abdomen where the knot is - so is a little tough for work. I am tall and it hit me at my ankles.

Summer Wedding

Great for a summer wedding on the river. The dress was light, breathable and comfortable. The material makes it feel not as formal but the sleeves and other detailing help dress it up.

Perfect for wedding showe

This dress was perfect for my women themed wedding shower. I did not realize it had a keyhole cut out right under the bus line, but it can easily be pinned up if that is not your style.

Sunny Summer Vibes

The knot at gathering barely visible. Comfortable linen. Needs to be steamed and does get crease lines from sitting. Wore in 90+ degree heat. Lovely. Longer than I imagined. Puff sleeve protection.

Beautiful

This dress is so beautiful. Conservative but not stuffy. It is cotton, not sure how I missed that part in the description, but it is still dressy. If you are busty you may want to size up. I am usually an XS and this worked but a bit tighter in the chest. So next time I would get the small. Such a winner!

FAVORITE!!

This was my absolute FAVORITE dress I have rented from RTR! This dress is lightweight, so it is a perfect for those warm Summer days / nights! This dress just fits in all the right places and is incredibly comfortable. I was (very) sad to have to return this!

Great outdoor wedding dress

This dress runs small but loved it! I had to wear lower heels than expected as it was short for my height, so would recommend ordering back up size to be sure on the fit. I received so many compliments throughout the night. Great color & fabric weight for Spring!!

Pretty spring dress

This is definitely more of a spring or summer dress, but I wore it in the fall to a haldi where it was requested the guests wear yellow. The dress was very cute, but I had to have help zipping it up bc it was a bit tight in the rib cage & up. A little bit see-through but I was fine with nude undergarments (as far as I know, no one told me otherwise lol). Overall, a pretty dress!

An XXL is a 12

I rented this earlier in an XL, which was a US size 10, and a bit snug. The XXL worked, even if a bit large. This is unlined cotton, so I might have been able to get away with the XL because the cotton stretched out over the course of the day. It’s a beautiful, sunny ray of sunshine in a dress.

Really wanted to like this one

I love trying new styles on RTR, but this just missed the mark. I think I would have loved it if the neck wasn’t as high as it was. Just felt too conservative for my style. Height was perfect for my frame and the fit was spot on. Accentuated my curves without being too tight. Lightweight enough for a summer event. Very cute, but just didn’t feel like me.

Much prettier on & styled

Beautiful dress - a bit small in chest but it's cotton and will stretch out a bit- if.you go ahead and zip on up ... it's classic and classy ... pretty dress.
