Comfy and easy
I had to be at an extremely high profile event. I 100% wanted sleeves and a dress easy to move around in, with no cutouts. This was the answer to my prayers. I got some panicky news that RTR wouldn't be sending my size because whoever had it before either damaged it or sent it back late (ladies, come ON). But I got the next size up - it was big in the shoulders and the fit wasn't amazing but it worked well enough and the dress was exactly what I needed that night. A very stylish lady recognized the designer right away and I wondered if she was secretly a RTRer too or if she just has a lot of money and knows these things! Anyway! I was never uncomfortable and felt very confident in this dress. I'm 5'10" and it was a smidge too short.

Unique dress for lots of occasions
I rented this in a 44 which I believes translates to an 8. I'm a size 6 and it was a kind of noticeable size too big on me but due to a dress mix-up I had to pick something out at the very last minute and this dress is beautiful and was close enough. However - be aware that the slip dress underneath is very short and I found it very difficult to pull down again upon standing after it would get hiked up from sitting. Very awkward! So I was self-conscious all evening that I was flashing a lot more of myself than I had intended. (The slip dress also felt a bit tight, especially considering the lace dress was overall too loose.) For that reason alone I wouldn't rent this dress again for an upcoming event. Otherwise I think it's just beautiful. Very different and I felt like I stood out but wasn't garish. Just wish that under dress was a few inches longer!
