This dress was top notch and stood out!

Lenth was perfect and wasnt too tight on around the bust. Thick enough so i didnt use shape wear.

My husbands first Emmy nominations and I couldn't have felt and looked better! This dress is PERFECT

This dress was every women's dream come true. I couldn't pass by someone without them saying "I LOVE YOUR DRESS!" I wore this to the Mid American Emmy's - my husband was nominated... twice :) This hugged my curves beautifully, fits true to size, slimmed me down, wasn't too tight on my hips (and I have very very wide hips), didn't have to wear a special bra, didn't have to wear a shaper, no tape required, length was PERFECT (I'm 5'4") with just a little train in the back. I can't say enough good things about this dress. PROBLEM; I WANT TO KEEP IT!! Don't think about it, rent it. You won't be sorry.

Just perfect!

I got these dress for 2 singers for a show I had this weekend. RTRW saved my life sending me overnight these dresses in exchange of short ones that didn't work. The girls wore a 4L and a 6L which is true to size and looked gorgeous!!! They got a lot of compliment and it was just PERFECT!

I feel like a movie star!

This dress is so so beautiful! I got this as a back up since my other dress was too short, and i tried it on last night and it took my breath away! I think I could have gotten a zeroL and gotten away with it, as it is a little big around my mid section... but it doesnt look bad. I recommend going a size smaller. The long is perfect for taller girls who want to wear taller heals. I am so excited to wear this tomorrow night! I finally got to wear this, and it is seriously the most beautiful dress on! I got soo many compliments!

Company is amazing! managed to get me my dress even during Hurricane Sandy!

I was very nervous about ordering a dress online, seeing other women's pictures really helped me. I am normally in between and 10 and a 12 thanks to my thick field hockey thighs. The 10 fit beautiful, I felt like a million dollars and my date had such a WOW look on his face, was totally worth it and I can not wait to rent again.

This dress was amazing! I was stopped all night by people wanting to comment on the dress!

The fit was very true to size, and the length was perfect for me at 5'6" with 4" heels. The dress looked amazing. I was happier than I had expected to be. I was being stopped all night for people to comment about the dress. Thank you!

Many compliments and comfortable

Rented this for a friends black tie wedding. Got many compliments from fellow guests and strangers on the street. Rented the 2r and the 6r because 4r was not available. 2r fit ok through the body but was tight in the arm. The 6r was too loose all over. But the dress was still comfortable and easy to dance in. Had great movement to it. Was warm enough for a late fall day but may be a bit to heavy for a warmer season.

Gorgeous Color & Comfortable Fit!

I rented this dress for a fun engagement photo shoot with my fiance. We were outside on a very hot and humid Georgia morning, but this dress is sooo comfortable that I didn't feel overheated, and the temperatures were in the mid 70s. I loved how it fit, but I do wish the waist was tighter. I normally wear a 6 or an 8 so I ordered both for my rental. The 6 fit, but I added a belt to make the waist more fitted.

This dress was perfect for a red carpet event in which I was receiving an award!

The fit was perfect, and not too tight. I'm only 5'6" but needed a Long and had to buy shorter heels with no platforms so the dress wouldn't be too short. I received compliments all night and was really happy that I rented such a spectacular dress for a fashion awards ceremony.

Zipper damaged/wonky

I think the picture speaks for itself. I didn't end up wearing this dress because the zipper was jacked up. It zipped up all the way but had some sort of permeant bend in it. Also this dress runs a bit big. Not too much but I could have maybe gone with a 0P instead of 2P (typically a 2P).

Customer Service, complimentary garment bag and Hollywood tape are nice touches. I have already ordered my next dress! Love it!

I wore this to attend the Marine Corps Ball and it was perfect for this event! I paired this with http://www.renttherunway.com/shop/designers/pierced_jewelry/bacallearrings and I must say as stunning as the dress was, the earrings were just as gorgeous! The dress is very comfortable and just the right length. The red color is gorgeous. If you are looking at this dress, it is definitely one you should go with.

This dress is so comfortable and glamorous!

The dress fit perfectly, except that it was a little loose in the middle. However, this did not detract from the overall look and comfort of the dress. I normally wear a 4 and found this dress ran true to size. That said, I could have gotten away with the 2, but it was a little too short.

This dress was so comfortable I didn't change out for the after party, even when everyone else did!

Fits like a glove. I ordered a 4L (I'm 5'10") and with 2" heels it was still a little short and you could see my toes. I didn't really care, and I was sitting most of the night so it didn't matter too much.

This dress is awesome. Material looks very expensive. Flattering fit.

Loved this dress. Material looks expensive and the shape is super flattering. Got lots of compliments and felt comfortable all night. Fabric is thick, so wouldn't recommend it for a summer event. I usually wear a 6 or 8 in dresses depending on how tight they are on the bottom. I figured I'd be squeezing into a 6 in this one, but ended up needing RTR to overnight a size 4 to me. So definitely think about what fits your top when ordering this one.

Classic red dress

If you are busty or have large arms, go up a size for your 2nd dress. The cut and color of this dress are chic and classic. It is very comfortable and flattering, but I did find the arm hole to be a bit on the tight side.

Beautiful dress in a GORGEOUS red

This dress was rented for my daughter's prom. She stands 5'3", and is about 140 pounds. She has a full bust. She used the 4regular. It was a bit long but with platform heels, it fit perfectly. The color was rich and popped among a sea of typical dresses the other kids had. She was red carpet glam- I'm so happy with the way the dress fit and looked. Thanks RTR!!

Felt gorgeous showing off my baby bump in this dress!

I ordered this dress and the navy blue version for options to a military ball. I was 12 weeks pregnant and just started showing, so I decided to show off my belly with a pop of red. Throughout the night, I received so many compliments on my dress and it made me feel gorgeous especially when I was just coming out of that not-really-showing-chunky phase of my pregnancy. The only issue I had with the dress was the side zipper was a little bunchy, but if you tape the dress to keep it up, the zipper will lay flat. Rent this dress if you want to stand out and feel beautiful!

This dress is WONDERFUL! I previously rented the same dress in black and loved it in red even more!

One shoulder is very flattering if you are busty and have an hour-glass shape. This dress is very comfortable and moves wonderfully with you. The quality is very good. I am 5'4" and wore medium heels with it. If I were any taller, it would have been too short. This dress really stood out at the event I attended and I received LOADS of compliments.

My CEO told me I was the "prom queen"

Had to wear the 2L bc the 4R was so short I could not have worn any heel. Make sure you have a seamless shaper because the seam on the spanx shorts I originally had was very visible. Dress was comfortable and the material is quality and heavy. I wore this to an annual awards recognition event for my company, and my CEO told me I was the prom queen of the night. Got tons of compliments all evening and the red dress really stood out. Great RTR experience!

So easy! The dresses came a day early. Easy to order and to ship back! Will definitely use again!

My only complaint is that I ordered a long and should have ordered a regular! With heals, I was fine... Just had to wear a little higher than normal. Great fit, not too tight and hugs in all the right places! I am normally a 4-6 and wore a 2 very comfortably!

This dress was perfect!

I wore this dress to the Heart After Dark Gala and it was absolutely perfect! I was convinced that other girls would be wearing this since everyone in DC uses RTR, but luckily I was the only one in it that night. There were a lot of red dresses at this event, but this one stood out. I got so many compliments on how it fit and how I looked in the dress. I wore a strapless bra and Spanx just to smooth everything out, but it really showed off my curves in a very flattering way. In 4 inch heels, it just slightly skimmed the floor in the back. I loved this dress and would definitely rent it again!

This dress was picked for me bc my backup was unavailable. I loved it so much I wore it instead!

This dress was sent as my backup bc the backup dress I ordered was unavailable last minute. When I tried it on I loved it so much I wore it instead of the dress I actually initially ordered. This dress is AMAZING! I felt like a movie star. It did run a little big so I probably could've worn a 4R in it but the length was perfect. It was so comfy, flattering, and hugged all the right spots perfectly. I was complimented all night long. I was able to move and dance the night away and felt like a million bucks doing so!

The fabric was thick and comfortable while still being fun to move and dance in. It was the perfect dress for a black tie event! My only complaint would be the length. The 6R fit better, but was too short. If I had to rent again I would choose the 6L.

Stunning!

This dress is stunning and I received a TON of compliments on it. The style and fit are very flattering and it is extremely comfortable to wear. I would recommend some fashion tape for the side without the sleeve to avoid a possible wardrobe malfunction. As others mentioned the dress does run short which was great for me!

I LOVED this dress!

I usually run between a size 2 and 4. I went with the 4L and was glad I did. I am a 34C bra size and I think a size 2 would have been too tight on me. The length was also perfect- I am 5'9" and was able to wear 3 inch heels with the dress. I wore it to a black tie wedding and felt great all night. It is super comfortable and I was never pulling the dress up or adjusting it at all. I highly recommend this dress!

This gown runs slightly on the large side. I normally wear a 10 but the 8 R fitted like a glove. I'm 5 ft 7 inches. it appears this gown was made for me. I felt confident all night plus, it wasn't too long to the point that I'll be tripping all over it. I was very pleased.

Perfect for holiday gala

RTR is awesome! My stylist came to the rescue with this hot little number when my first choice did not fit. I went with the 4R and it was perfect. I am typically a size 6, so believe this dress runs a little big. I have broad shoulders and was pleasantly surprised that it did not cut into me. I received a lot of compliments and felt like amazing all night. Did not stretch out or lose shape at all.

Beautiful Dress

This was my back up size but it ended up fitting perfectly. It was a little roomy in the waist and it worked out great for me because I could comfortably eat and dance all evening. The crepe is a heavy, high quality fabric and the color is lovely. The length was just right with 4 inch heels. Overall, the dress was perfect for me.
