So comfortable and cute!

Love this dress! Second time renting, I’ve worn an 8, and a 10(size 8 fit a little better but the 10 is pictured). The fabric is thick, so I didn’t need to wear a bra/sticky boobs, it’s a little tighter around the neck and armpits, but overall a great fit. Love the open back and and high/low bottom. I received so many compliments on this!

Fun & Fabulous

I LOVED this dress and received compliments on it all night long! True to size, great fabric quality, loved the sexy open back, and the color was unique. The fabric was actually a white fabric with red thread design, so it looked pink from afar. When I walked the wind picked up the high/low train and billowed behind me! Dress handled a whole lot of dancing as well. Definitely recommend!!!

Compliments all night long!

Perfect for a formal family wedding. Slightly tight after eating but otherwise fit like a glove for pictures and the rest of the night. Wore with 4’’ wedges.

Sweet & Sassy

This dress was so comfortable and fit perfectly. I got so many compliments on this dress throughout the entire evening. This dress is sturdy and held up throughout all the dancing! Some reviews I read said the dress was too warm/thick for a summer wedding. I did not feel that way, the wedding took place June in Florida, and it was awesome! Best thing, I did not event have to wear a bra!!!! I will definitely be ordering from RTR again!

Unique & comfortable

I loved this dress. I'm a 34DD and was able to wear with no bra as the dress is fitted and has thick material. I got lots of compliments and felt beautiful dancing the night away!

Show stopper!

I love this dress! It’s beautifully constructed with attention to details. The fabric is heavy but not cumbersome. I am short waisted with long legs and I was a little worried that it wouldn’t fit but it was fine. I didn’t wear a bra but I don’t need one. If you’re larger chested you might need something for support. I paired it with nude pumps and a vintage white beaded bag. And it has pockets!

Derby Dream Dress- so many compliments

Loved this! Tempted to buy. I've got an hourglass with swimmers shoulders and broader hips and this fit perfectly- bodice fit well and the waistline flared at just the right spot. 5'10" and the length was good- if you were 5 or so inches shorter it might drag in the back. The back is a lovely open cross strap- bulged a bit where the straps join the bodice and if it were mine I'd have it tailored in that seam. But otherwise perfect. Useable pockets. Quality fabric. LOTS of compliments at Derby!

Perfect for a 75 degree black tie wedding in the spring!

There is a tiny bit of gaping in the lower back- but that could just depend on your body type (I have a broad back/shoulders). Also, found that I needed to pay attention to my posture because it starts to look like a maternity dress from the side if I don't stand up straight! All in all, beautiful dress, excellent fabric, no need for a bra!

Show stopper dress!

I wore this great dress for the Bridal Luncheon the day before my daughter's wedding. It was perfect! The fabric is heavy to hold the shape of the skirt. So many compliments. Not something I would every purchase. What a terrific one time wear! Winner!

This dress looks and feels elegant.

The size 2R was a perfect fit with no bra. The fabric is heavy but extremely elegant and easy to wear. I was so excited to wear it to a formal wedding but the event was canceled due to COVID. I will definitely order for another occasion

I wore this dress to a black tie wedding and it was definitely a show stopper.

I typically wear a size 6 but ordered this dress in a 4 because I have a smaller chest and wanted it to fit nicely with no bra. It was perfect. The length is just right for dancing but still long in the back to feel formal. The zipper was a little tough to pull up, but my husband was able to come through for me. The back is so pretty. I received compliments all night long and didn't want to take it off!

Formal wedding knockout!!!

I wore this dress for a formal wedding in Savannah. I have never received so many compliments!! So fun to stand out in a sea of black dresses. My usual size 8 was unavailable so I sized up to a 10. More room for eating and dancing... no complaints! I wore a sticky bra due to the back being open. Overall a 10/10 best RTR unlimited experience I have had!!!

Got so many compliments!

I absolutely love this dress and wish I owned it permanently. The material is super thick and sturdy and extremely comfortable which made it perfect for a southern spring wedding. Only minor issue was that the straps in the back gapped a bit on the bottom. You couldn't really see with my hair down and a shawl on but that is the only thing I would watch out for. Other than that, the fit was amazing and super flattering.

Perfect for a Winter Wedding!

The dress was awesome and I received so many compliments! The fit was true to size and a perfect thickness for a winter wedding. I was a bit worried it would be too long as I am 5"4 but with heels, it was a great length! I definitely recommend this dress for a wedding as the bottom half is perfect for twisting and turning on the dance floor.

Tons of compliments all night!

Great dress! Ordered the 4 and 6, both fit. The 4 was a little snug on top so the back strapes gapped a bit at the waist. 6 fit perfectly and didn't gap as much. The length was a little longer in the back than I expected but not too long. Fabric is thick, which I liked. No bra needed, I was a little worried about that but I felt comfortable all night and it didn't feel like I didn't have a bra on. Highly recommend!!

Gorgeous Fit and Cut

I enjoyed wearing this dress and received several compliments. It is well structured and thick enough that you dont need to wear a bra. The only negative I felt was it was very thick. I kept saying, "I feel like I'm wearing a quilt. I normally wear a size 8 and thats what I went with. I am 5'8", 160lbs and wear a 32DDD.

so many compliments! the dress was super comfortable, easy to dance in. loved it!

fit true to size, and was not too long in the back which was my concern (i am 5'4). received so many compliments throughout the night, and once I found out there was pockets, it was even more perfect. will definitely rent again for any event, super classy and thick enough fabric for me to stay warm on a cold florida night.

I got SO MANY compliments on this dress and felt fabulous wearing it!

The fit was fantastic. I didn't wear a bra and still felt totally secure--even while dancing my butt off at a wedding. My chest didn't look saggy or weird or anything since it's a thick fabric. As someone who is on the shorter side, heels were a must. The pockets were amazing! Love love love this dress!

Getting compliments from random strangers before the wedding even started.

This was my first RTR experience, and I was really nervous about getting my dress so close to the date of the #wedding I was attending. Everything worked out great! I'm normally a 6, and that size fit me perfectly. Got tons of compliments!

Perfect!

This was my mother of the bride dress and it was perfect in every way. I loved the detail on the fabric, the unique back, and the way it was shorter in the front and longer in back... perfect for being right on the edge of a petite height as most dresses I tried were too long. This is definitely for smaller busts and shoulders and went over my not-so-small hips beautifully!

I loved the fabric, look, and fit of this dress. It was very comfortable and flattering and I got so many compliments all night. Complete strangers were saying "I took a picture of the back of your dress for you! It's so beautiful!" The fabric is thick enough and the waist supportive enough that I didn't need a bra. A really beautiful dress!

Black Tie Wedding - so many compliments!

The fit was almost perfect, just a bit of a bulge in the back between where the skirt waist meets the crossed back. Otherwise a perfect fit (the bulge was something no one would notice). I received so many compliments on this dress from people who I have never met! But honestly, if I hadn't received any compliments I still would've felt like a 10. The dress is an absolute stunner and extremely comfortable

Gorgeous dress. Flattering and easy to wear.

I loved this dress online & it was even better in person. Although it was snug on me, it was still surprisingly comfortable & looked great. No bra needed due to the thick material. If I were to rent again, id size up to the 6.
