Two words: Absolutely Glamorous.

Size worn: 40R

Overall fit: Small

Rented for: Wedding

I cannot begin to tell you the complements I received on this gown. It truly is an elegant dress... the beading is so exquisite and it hugged me in all the right places. I am a 6 in practically everything but I ended up going with the 40L. I had to wear pretty short heels (about 2.5inch) bc otherwise it would have looked like I was going to a flood. There is a bit of stretch in the material, but I still suggest going a size up as your backup especially if you are tall!

I LOVED this dress! It was very flattering and sohphisticated w/ the right amount of sexy.

Size worn: 36R

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Formal Affair

I got what equated a 2R and a 4R at the stylist’s recommendation. I should have gotten a size up. Though it fit just fine, I would have liked to see what a size up would have done. I had plenty of room for my 32 DDD so a smaller busted girl would probably need a strapless or Nu bra. If I had gotten the size up I may have as well. A size up may have been a little longer, which would have been nice; this one was borderline too short on me (I was wearing heels).. The L would probably have been too long. The rouching was very flattering and though I’m normally self-conscious about my belly I wasn’t in this w/ Spanx. I received TONS of compliments and I didn’t see anyone else in this dress. I wore this to a State Governor’s Inaugural Ball and saw plenty of other dresses I had considered on RTR; I’m glad I went with this one! Lastly (but not least), this dress was VERY comfortable to wear and there was never a moment when I felt as though there would be wardrobe malfunction.

Not for the short and plump

Size worn: 44R

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Formal Affair

I am 5'3 and wear a size 10 (44). The dress was definitely meant for the long and lean. The rouching was somewhat forgiving of my belly and I definitely looked really curvy and sexy. People complimented me all night but if I had it to do all over again I would have swapped the dress out for one better suited for my body type.

Loved this dress

Size worn: 34R

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Formal Affair

I worked with a stylist to help me find the right dress. This was one that they recommended and it was amazing! It fit well in the bust and waist. The reviews were accurate that it runs a tad long but I'm 5'2" and wore a 5 inch heels and it was fine! I loved the dress and got a lot of compliments.

Beautiful Gown!

Size worn: 34R

Overall fit: Small

Rented for: Formal Affair

I ended up getting this dress because my original dress was unavailable and it was so gorgeous! The 34R fits a size 0 or size 2, but it is really tight on the bust area! I am a B cup and I should have gone up a size. If you have a larger bust, go up a size to be safe. Other than that, I loved the dress! IT fit perfect everywhere else and I got so many compliments! You will not be disappointed with this dress! The 34R hit right at the floor for me (I'm 5'6) so if you plan on wearing heels, you might want to go up a size. I wore flats, so this was not a problem for me.

Comfortable & elegant dress

Size worn: 36L

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Formal Affair

I wore this dress to the Golden Globes. I loved how soft the fabric felt and how the ruching made it look good from the front and the back. Very comfortable & easy to wear for a long time. There were a few loose beads but it looked fine.

Everyone LOVED the dress and loved my hair and makeup! I looked like an old hollywood starlet at my cousins beautiful wedding and everyone was saying how gorgeous I was! I was def. the talk of the night and everyone looked beautiful but I def. was the STUNNER of the night! YAY RTR! Next time I will get the size 4! 38L!

Size worn: 40L

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Wedding

They only had a size 36L and 40L available.... The 36L fit great until it got to my boobs and the zipper could have gone up if I forced it but it would have smooched my boobs and i'm 5'9 and it was also to short even in the L. I ended up going with the 40L even though it was big. I wore a strapless bra and that made it fit a little tighter but if I didn't stand straight the strap would have kept falling and it was big on the top of the chest area. You can see in the photos that it hangs a little but it actually looked like it was suppose to. Everyone LOVED the dress and loved my hair and makeup! I looked like an old hollywood starlet at my cousins beautiful wedding! I was def. the talk of the night and everyone looked beautiful but I def. stood out! YAY RTR! Next time I will get the size 4! 38L!

All the compiments I received on the dress and how I looked.

Size worn: 38L

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Wedding

This dress runs true to size. I ordered the 38L and it fit perfect and was the perfect length. I am 5'6 and wore 5" heels and it just touched the ground. This dress is absolutely stunning and I received so many compliments. This dress was also very comfortable to wear.

Gorgeous. I'm devastated I didn't get any good pictures

Size worn: 38L

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Formal Affair

This dress looks great on. The beading is really beautiful in person. I felt like I was turning heads all night. I asked several people to take pictures including the dress but every one was either blurry or zoomed in to show just faces. The dress definitely benefits from a strapless bra and it's low enough on the side that you'll have to be careful about exposing it ( I used a safety pin).

Beautiful gown and detail. Make sure you rent the long!

Size worn: None

Overall fit: Small

Rented for: Formal Affair

Would give 5 stars, but disappointed with shipment. The dress that was my size was not sent in the long (which I requested). So, I tried on the backup, which was a size larger, but the bust was damaged.

Beautiful but long

Size worn: 44R

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Formal Affair

This dress was absolutely gorgeous however it was really long. I am 5'2 and even with 3" heels it was still way too long. It fits true to size and has some stretch to it. The rouching hides trouble spots. Would work better for taller people.

Back up dress for Marine Corps Birthday ball.

Overall fit: True to Size

The dress was gorgeous. I loved the rusching (very flattering), the length was perfect. I just think this dress is more appropriate for someone long and lean (I'm petite),

I wore this dress for a wedding and received compliments all night. Dress is absolutely beautiful. I would highly recommend. I will say, however, that the dress is very form fitting.

So sad

Size worn: None

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Formal Affair

I never received this dress. There was a mix-up with UPS. Fortunately it was a replacement dress for a different order and I was able to wear one of those. RTR customer service was a huge help, and even though I didn't get to wear this dress, I would suggest renting any dress from RTR based on their customer service alone!

I LOVED LOVED LOVED this dress! it fits like a glove and made my body look amazing. I got a lot of compliments on it. It was perfect. This dress made me fall in love with RTR! This dress is very unforgiving so if your unsure about certain spots beware! The detail on the dress is beautiful it makes it so unique! I wore it to a Marine Corps ball!

Absolutely fit amazing, but I am 5'6" and the length just came to my feet so I could not wear heels. My weight is 115 and the size 4 was true to size otherwise. Good thing my date was short!

Absolutely stunning!! If you are 5'6" and are wearing heels, the L sizes are the way to go. There is enough stretch in the gown to hug every curve. The dress looked like it was tailored to my body.

This dress is gorgeous. I am a usually a size 4L but with the different sizing for this gown i received a 40L. It fit perfectly everywhere, the little bit of stretch helps that. The only thing i was a bit concerned with is that i am an A cup chest so it was a little baggy on the sides and was worried about exposing a bit of side cleavage!! Still stunning and received lots of compliments
