GORGEOUS

This dress is so, so beautiful. So many compliments on it! I loved the pockets and that you couldn't tell anything was in them. The straps did start to irritate me after many hours. This was tight enough I didn't have to wear a bra.

Awesome material

Got so many compliments on the dress and the fabric. It has pockets which makes it practical too. This dress is not sized for a big chest.

This dress was flattering and comfortable. It works for someone with a bigger bust.

Beautiful dress

Wore this dress for my Masters graduation, and as an art student, the Monet inspired dress was fitting. It fit beautifully and it was a great quality. For reference: I’m 5’5” and at the time I was 120lbs with a 26” waist and the size 2 was a perfect fit.

Beautiful Dress

My daughter wanted to stand out at her school formal. This dress was perfect. She was able to move freely and be comfortable. She’s 13 years old but very tall for her age and it’s hard to find dresses that are long enough. She received so many compliments and was so happy no one else was wearing the same dress. RTR made this a great experience and we’d definitely use this service again.

Great dress!

Fit was perfect. This dress is definitely true to size. I would say if you have a larger chest size up. I’m pretty small so it worked. Beautiful on, I got lots of compliments !

So many compliments!

I went with the larger size 10 due to tight through the chest & no stretch. It’s not tight through the waist. Only regret is chest was more squished than uplifted

Hands down best dress I’ve ever worn

Dress is an absolute show stopper! I felt like a princess in this dress and everyone loved it. The colors on the dress were like a beautiful watercolor painting. The fit was incredible too! I’m a little bigger on top so I had to wear the size six. No strapless bra was needed so made it even more comfortable. Not to mention having pockets is thee best!

Loved, loved, loved this Monet inspired dress!

One of my favorite rentals ever! This dress was comfortable to wear, perfect for an outdoor wedding in New England, easy to travel with (wrinkle free), and the colors were stunning! Added bonus POCKETS, large enough for my sunglasses and iPhone!!! Tons of compliments all night! One lady even asked how she can rent it for an upcoming wedding. Highly recommend, you won't be disappointed. Style made the fit easy, however I felt that it ran slightly small in the bust.

The dress itself is gorgeous. I love the material and pattern. People stopped me all night to look at it. It's a showstopper. Plus pockets! I was worried it would be big but it fit well. Definitely size up.

Perfect!

This dress was everything I thought it would be and more! The perfect dress for a summer wedding. I got so many compliments. I'm glad I ordered the 8 as my back-up. I'm between sizes and usually order an 8 and a 10. The 10 fit but with no bra, it was a little too loose in the chest and I felt like I would be uncomfortable. The 8 fit the girls better but was a tad snug in the torso. I opted for a tighter fit and did not regret it. The dress is so comfortable! The material is structured, but the lining makes it feel cool against your skin. I paired with silver kitten heels and the Lizzie Fortunato Heron earrings. They matched perfectly!

Comfortable and Beautiful

I loved this dress! I typically cannot go braless with dresses, as I am 36DD, but I felt totally fine and comfortable, even though I was a little nervous about the straps being so thin. The straps also are not adjustable, so I feel lucky they did end up fitting okay. I was also a little concerned about the color maybe being too 'white' for a wedding - it is definitely more of a light blue in person. The details are stunning!

I don’t think I’ve ever received so many compliments! Tight in the rib cage, so I wish I had a size up to compare. That said, still very comfortable.

Absolutely stunning!

I adore this dress! The details are fabulous and it is so unique! Received compliments all night for a black tie optional wedding. My ONLY difficulty is that the 10 was slightly too tight for my bust and the 12 felt slightly too large-- but with a bra the 12 worked out fine. Straps are NOT adjustable, and could be worn without a bra depending on your sizing. I wish I could own this dress!

Great material, a fun dress for a semi-formal outdoor wedding in early March.

The size 8 fit well, but I felt it was a bit tight across the bust and decided to be comfortable dancing. Did not need to wear a bra since the material had full coverage.

Bump-friendly. So many compliments!

Overall, loved the dress! I'm 5'8" and typically wear a size 8, but at the time of wearing this dress I was 18wks pregnant (roughly 185lbs), so I sized up to a 12. It was tight around my ribcage but loosened up a bit as the night went on. The straps were a little loose, likely because the size 12 was for my growing belly more than anything else, and my bust is still rather small. To be honest, the loose straps made me keep good posture throughout the night! People stopped by my table just to tell me how stunning this dress was, so it's a hit, for sure!

The dress stands out, received several compliments on it

I wear this at the black tie wedding in December, since black is not my color I opted for this dress! It did not disappoint! The cut of the dress was perfect to hide your insecurities (belly fats)! It stands out and I received several compliments on it. Beautifully made, it looks like a water color painted on a dress! Good thing I remember rent the runway when all the dresses I ordered (5 of them) did not meet my expectation or style (I want simple but elegant)! I will surely rent again!

I am now scouring the web to try to purchase this dress!

This was a BANGER dress, I got nonstop compliments all night from complete strangers! It also has deep pockets; I put a mini water bottle, a pair of earbuds, and my hand sanitizer in my pockets, and you really couldn't tell I was carrying so much just looking at me. If you're thinking about wearing this to a wedding, it looks WAY more blue/silver in person and doesn't look remotely close to white, so you're in the clear! That was my concern prior. It only looks lighter in photographs. I have a short torso relative to my legs, so often times dresses have different proportions relative to me. Thank goodness this one worked out, because the other ML Monique Lhuillier dress I got as a backup did not hit me correctly in the waist! I wore these with 2.5" wedge heels (most comfortable wedges I've ever owned, the UGG Yarrow), but since the dress wasn't floor length anyway, I didn't have any issues with the dress being too long for my short height. The straps were a hair too long (and are not adjustable), but dress tape or a couple of safety pins in the back honestly would've kept them in place. I wore this with a strapless bra because I personally feel self-conscious without one, but most people would probably be fine going without the bra. Highly, highly recommend this dress if you're a similar body type to me! It probably would look just as lovely on someone else, but all I know is that it worked for me. I normally don't write reviews, but I had to write one for this, because this is probably my favorite dress I've ever rented from RTR.

Beautiful dress!

I loved this dress. I got a lot of compliments and was also told I “look like a painting.” As others have noted, the straps aren’t adjustable so they were a bit too long for me but not terrible. I ordered a 4 and a 6. I wore the 6 because the 4 was too tight in the ribs but fit otherwise. It holds its shape and is fun to twirl in! I was worried it might be too white for a wedding guest but it’s more blue in person.

Wow! I was originally going to wear another rental for this wedding, but once I tried this on, I KNEW it was the one! It's perfect for dancing, eating, and twirling. And...it has POCKETS! Super elegant and classy with such a unique watercolor print that reminds me of a John Lurie painting! I stood out from the crowd, in a good way! So nice I rented it twice :)

A piece of art!

I wore this dress to a party in Edinburgh at the National Museum of Scotland. The theme of the party was “A Tea Party with a Bit of Whimsy!”. Well this dress was made for this event. I received so many compliments and it is so amazingly beautiful and so comfortable. This is not the first time I’ve rented this dress and I love it!! Oh and Pockets!! Let’s not forget that it has pockets!! Yes, this designer never forgets that dresses need pockets too. I would definitely recommend renting this dress for a spring or summer occasion, you won’t be disappointed.

This dress looks much better in person that in a photo. The fabric is so classy and printed with beautiful imagery. Wore to my 40th birthday celebration. The straps were a teeny bit too long but not a problem. Could conformably wear without a bra and dance all night. And the pockets are always a plus.

Luxury with fit in all the right places

Fit snug enough up top so no bra needed and great support to the chest area. Waist flares at just the right spot so no tummy support needed. Pockets are fabulous for smaller items (did fit my iPhone 12 easily). Pattern is gorgeous in person and the dress looks and feels luxurious. Received so many compliments from strangers around town. Highly recommend.

So beautiful!

Wore this to a black tie optional wedding. It was so comfortable and I loved that it had pockets. As other reviews mention, I wish the straps were adjustable because they were a little short and got slightly uncomfortable throughout the night but not enough to deter from recommending this. I think could’ve fit in an 8 if the top normally but I was 12 weeks pregnant at the time (typically a 34B but 36C at the time).
