classic

Size worn: 2R

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Formal Affair

as another reviewer said, this dress is more silvery than white. which i thought was even better! it looks expensive and i got lots of compliments. it's classic, yet the peplum makes it memorable. LOVED it. my favorite thing i've rented from RTR for sure. i had to wear really tall heels even with the regular length, but i am just 5'3. i didn't wear a bra bc my boobs just barely squeezed in this dress. but i wish i could have bc after having 3 kids they don't rest as high as they used to without some support! :) #Momproblems

Got to strut my stuff at the Inaugural Ball in a gown worthy of Kate Middleton

Size worn: 8L

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Formal Affair

The fit on the hips is tight, thats why I had to wear the 8 instead of the 6. If your hips are a tad on the larger size, I would size up. Good thing I sized up because I almost got the 4 and 6. I couldn't fill out the bust well though. It's a GORGEOUS gown. I don't think I have gotten that many compliments before in my life. The gown is pretty forgiving pertaining to panty lines and such.

Simple elegance...

Size worn: 6R

Overall fit: Small

I thought this dress was going to be white but it's silver with a silver overlay. I ordered a size up as a backup and glad I did. I'm always a 4 but the 6 fit perfect. I felt so classic and simply elegant. Very forgiving for a night of eating and drinking!

Event theme was Sapphire and Diamonds. This was the perfect dress. Fit was as everyone said: went one size up and perfect. TOUGH zipper. Yikes. But overall gorg.To me a winter dress, as its thick and silver (not white), as also mentioned by others. Thank you RTR! The blue accessories were perfect!

Elegant, comfortable, yet attention-grabbing! Perfect for a black-tie event.

Size worn: 12R

Overall fit: Small

Rented for: Formal Affair

This dress was comfortable, unique, and perfect for an Inaugural Ball. I was glad I ordered a size up, as my normal size was really tight in the bust and hips (and I'm not very hippy). One thing to keep in mind is that it does have a little bit of a train.. nothing super long but enough that you have to be careful that your heels don't catch it in the bag and send you hurling towards the ground. Overall, loved the dress & highly recommend - received so many compliments!

Beautiful and elegant! Everyone LOVED it!

Size worn: 6L

It's tight though the hips. If you have any hips at all, order a size up. The tall length was perfect. I wore 3 inch heals this evening. Again, it is tight...it was VERY difficult to sit down. Overall a stunning number but probably best for someone with straight or athletic frame.

SILVER, not white

Size worn: 6L

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Formal Affair

Let me start by saying this is a beautiful dress! I regret my event wasn't longer because I felt so elegant and lovely in this dress. One "issue" was that the straps for the hanger kept popping out of the gown... probably because the top was a little loose for me (36B). I expected this dress would give me a little more accentuation in the waist since the bottom fit perfectly and that's my thicker area, but the model in the picture must have her dress cinched... the top is large. If you want curves, I'd suggest going down a size. Oh, and this dress is 100% silver.. not white with silver accents as the picture suggests.

Pretty dress - a little large in the bust. I didn't wear it because it made me feel like I looked like"mother of the bride"

Did not fit in either the 8 or the 10, but is beautiful. Both sizes were long

I wear a 6 skirt and 8 pants and jacket. Neither the 8 or 10 fit. I couldn't zip up my ribcage.

Bought the 6L, fit perfectly.

Wouldn't get the dress if you have a lot of curves. The dress is very straight and narrow through the hips.

The RTR process is amazing! I would recommend everyone to try it sometime. You'll love it.

Size worn: 2L

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Formal Affair

This dress is amazing. It is SILVER lace though not white. I love it but it was way too long on me even with 5 inch heels. I decided to go with the other dress I rented but it was a tough decision because this dress is so glamourous. I felt like a movie star in it. It is definitely very fitted through the hips so if you have large hips I would recommend sizing up. It was a bit loose at the top but I have a small bust. It is not the easiest to move in due to it being so fitted. Overall I would rent this dress again for a formal function but in a 2R instead of a 2L.

Gorgeous gown.

Size worn: 6R

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Formal Affair

This dress is absolutely beautiful, it is more silver than white as I thought. Worn for a winter event and was perfect. The dress is ideal for an hourglass shape. I am between a size 4 and 6 and ordered both sizes. The 4 fit perfect on top yet too snug on the hips and the material has no give. So I wore the 6 which was a nice fit however the dress is more flattering when fit to the body in my opinion. I am 5'2 and wore 4 inch heels and the dress just barely swept the floor, just perfectly. Ordered regular length. Love rent the runway, so easy and efficient. Thank you
