I received so many compliments because of this dress, and felt so comfortable and confident in it.
Size worn: 42R
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
I have a tough time finding dresses that work with my body type, but this Calvin Klein fit like a glove. I wasn't able to fully hook the shelf bra, but leaving it that way worked just fine and was more comfortable. This dress runs short; I am only 5'2'', and with four inch heels, I was pushing it. I would recommend getting a long if you are 5'4" or taller.

loved this but could've used the LONG one
Size worn: 6R
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
I loved this dress and got lots of compliments. However, I am 5ft 9 inches and the R was a little short, esp with heels. RTR was out of the 6L so I had to go with the 6R. It still worked okay, but the L would've been ideal.

Third times the charm!
Size worn: 38L
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
The color is a very beautiful red and I got a ton of compliments on the dress, but it was the third dress I had to choose with less then 48 hours before my event (i ordered my original dress in June). Runs long and comes wrinkled/wrinkled a lot throughout the night, but overall I felt very beautiful and regal in this dress.

I've never felt more beautiful.
Size worn: 6R

Because this dress is bias cut, it's very forgiving size wise. I usually need a 6, but a 4 would have fit everywhere except the (quite snug) bra band. You can't go wrong with this dress!

Incredibly sexy color and cut!
Size worn: 38R
Overall fit: Large
Rented for: Date
This dress was originally supposed to be my back up, but it arrived and I knew I had to find an excuse to wear it! My hubby took me out for a fancy dinner and this dress was absolute perfection for the occasion. It hugs in all the right places and the color is such a vibrant red. I wish I could've kept this dress! Regarding size, I felt like it was a tiny bit big in the waist while being a little snug in the bust. I went with the smaller size and just didn't button up the built in bra the whole way. Regardless... RENT THIS DRESS!!

Girl on Fire!
Size worn: 38R
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
Great dress! Wore it to the Symphony and it was perfect. A little sexy but not inappropriate for a conservative affair. Very comfortable. Fabric is gorgeous, bias cut silk that drapes very well, hugging but not revealing. There is a built in bra but the band is tiny! I had a good 1.5inches gap. I'm 30". There are enough hooks to secure it but I couldn't hook all of them. The dress was terribly wrinkled but a shot with the steamer took them out quickly. I rented teh Alexis Bittar teardrop earrings and they were the perfect modern compliment. FYI, hubby loved this dress!

A surprise summer rental, my boyfriend and I had a great excuse to go out to a fancy dinner downtown! Very stunning!
Size worn: 44R
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Date
I rented this dress for a spontaneous dinner date, and I couldn't be happier that I chose this perfect gown - it was sexy without being revealing. When I got it, the 6/44 fit like a glove (I'm usually a 8/46, and the 8 was really fine. The smaller size just made for a closer, curve-hugging fit in this dress). The back is not a problem, you could wear a Nu-bra or nothing and it wouldn't be uncomfortable. All in all, the dress was gorgeous, just like in the picture! Because it was a surprise rental, my boyfriend and I just went to a fancy restaurant downtown and had a fun night walking around looking quite dapper. Just goes to show, you can make your own fun and you can really do ANYTHING while you're wearing a red dress. I definitely recommend it for anyone who wants to look stunning, and for anyone who doesn't mind turning a few heads ;)

Stunning and head turning, but a complicated fit
Size worn: None
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Formal Affair
This was supposed to be my go-to dress. But I had to wear a back-up. Here's why: The dress has a shelf bra that closes with a series of hook-and-eyes. You must have a very small ribcage (or break a couple ribs!) in order to close the bra and wear your normal size. The overall dress fits fine/ zips fine, but that shelf bra is completely unrealistic on a normal frame. Do size up, but here's the risk: You'll lose the overall curviness of the dress, even though the shelf bra will fit perfectly. It's a trade off. And if you think you can just leave the hook-and-eyes open, you'll see lumpiness on the dress in all the wrong places. There are competing forces in the fit of this dress. It's a gamble, but an overall beautiful dress if your size is true to Calvin Klein. Good luck!

Wonderful dress!!!
Size worn: 10L
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
Fit was great! It had a built in bra that didn't do much in terms of lift but it definitely made me feel secure and I didn't feel like I was flopping around/hanging out. The fabric hung so beautifully it was hard not to look fabulous! Definitely will rent again!

This dress is a show-stopper. I saw it on Jennifer Lawrence at the Oscars and had to rent it! I felt incredible in it and it hugged my figure perfectly. The only part I wasn't in love with was the hook and eye built-in bra part. It was too tight and squeezed my ribs and I'm not particularly wide there so I think the fit was weird. A little discomfort was worth it in this dress though!

Weird shape
Size worn: None
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
I got this dress as an exhange of another dress because my size was not ready to ship. So I got this dress and gave it a try but the shape was weird on me and is a very plain dress for someone skinny and petite like me. The color is true to the picture and the size is so.

great dress but pretty long

really nice with built in shelf bra but will probably need some extra support. Super long for me I'm 5'3 so I recommend fashion tape for anyone under 5'8

Pretty dress, but short
Size worn: 38R
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
This is a beautiful dress. Not my favorite RTR rental, but still a very elegant dress. It runs true to size in the body, but if your bust is on the larger size, you should order a size up. Also, it's short. I am only 5'5 and ordered the regular length, but I had to wear a kitten-heel shoe because anything higher would've made it short.

Overall Hit
Size worn: 40R
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
This dress was a great choice for a black tie wedding I attended this past weekend. Quite a few people commented on the color and fit and overall I was really pleased with the look. There's always a feeling of glamour when wearing red - and I definitely felt it. The length was perfect with the 3" nude heels I wore also. My only watch out would be the wrinkles. After sitting for the ceremony I noticed a lot of wrinkling in the mid section - which didn't get better after having to sit for several courses of dinner. My boyfriend told me no one could notice but I think he was just being sweet :)
