Great dress but not for the hourglass body type. It felt a bit too snug. 

I ordered the dress in a size 2 and 4. I have a small waist but fairly large hips. The 2 was impossible to get into and the 4 was still a little tight. I think that a 6 would have been perfect. The dress doesn't have much give so I suggest ordering one size larger then you normally wear.
 When I received the dress it was ripped. I emailed RTR and they were very nice and incredibly helpful. There wasn't enough time to ship another one but they said they would reimburse me if I took it to get it repaired. This was my first time renting a dress and I will definitely be doing it again! It's a little nerve wracking ordering a dress with out a back-up option but it ended up working out very well. 

I just loved this dress so much! The fit was pretty right on to my true size, but there wasn't much room to breathe! I'm actually in between sizes and I went with the smaller size, which is why it may have been a tad snug! It was a very flattering dress & perfect for the occasion! I received a lot of compliments :) The length was perfect - definitely not as short as shown on the model. I paired it with a blue blazer earlier in the night, which was fun :) Overall - a success & would recommend it to anyone! 

This dress is awesome. It is very tight, but the lace makes you look smooth all over. I wore it to a bachelorette party and received so many compliments. It's very short so be careful if you are tall! Really fun to wear and I felt sexy and classy all at the same time.

I wore this to an annual awards ceremony for my company in Las Vegas. The dress fit the occasion - fun, but still classy. I received tons of compliments throughout the night.  Being about 2.5 months pregnant, the 0 was a little snug, but still comfortable.  Would definite rent again.

Beautiful dress. Loved the leather trims and the lace details are beautiful. Used it for a date night in the city.  Runs very small.  I barely fit in the size 4.  A size 6 would have been a little bit more comfortable.  

I normally wear a size 4 in dresses across all brands. I couldn't get the 4 over my hips! The size 6 was very fitted and hard to pull on but the end result was well worth it. 

It doesn't stretch at all, but there was enough extra room to dance! The neck line was almost choking, but I got used to it. Other than that it was very fitted and perfect for homecoming!! 

This dress was even better in person--- the lace details and leather trim was beautiful!! I wore to an evening November wedding, and with black tights and black shoes it looked great.  I easily gave the dress 5 stars based on how much i loved it, but the fit was not perfect on me.  I am tall (5'10) and thin, and have wide hips--- normally, I wear a size 6.  After reading the reviews I decided to order the 6, and 8 as a backup, which I am glad I did!  The dress has NO STRETCH whatsoever, so I could barely get the 6 over my hips/butt area, and was very tight once on. I could have squeezed into the 6 and been mildly uncomfortable all night, so I went with the 8 which had extra room but was a bit baggy in the stomach/armpit/shoulder area but fit my bottom half better :)  I was concerned the dress might be too short on a taller girl, but especially with the 8, it was not even close to be "too short".  Whole  RTR experience was great -- got dress on time and so easy to send back after the weekend!

Where are these shoes from that you're wearing with the dress? They are so great! I want them if I rent this dress. :)

I rented this dress for a fall date function. I was a little worried about the leather around the neckline and arms, but I ended up loving it! It was super fun and very appropriate for a cocktail party. I would definitely rent this dress again!

Great dress - fit well, albeit it's a snug fit so not a ton of room to move around to dance.  Wore it for my birthday party, and got a lot of compliments.  Special thanks to RTR for getting this dress to me so quickly after I didn't like the first one I rented (should've just gone with my instincts and gotten this one!)  Would definitely rent again.

I couldn't have been happier with this dress! Since I am petite, it is always difficult to find dresses that fit well. I was worried the dress would be too big but it fit perfectly! It was an appropriate length, not too short or too long, and very comfortable! I received so many compliments all night! Will definitely rent again!

I rented this dress to wear to a film festival premier/party while on vacation.  It is a very simple dress but the leather detail, body hugging fit and nude lining really give it some edge.  I am 5'8 and normally wear a Med/8.  When I first tried on the dress it felt a bit snug, but did stretch just a bit and fit great!  It is short on a taller girl, but I liked the length!

This was the first dress I rented from RTR, and I loved it! I wore the dress on Valentine's Day, when my boyfriend took me out for a fancy dinner followed by a movie. I received many compliments on the dress, and I especially loved the juxtaposition between the pretty lace fabric and the edgier leather trim. When it first arrived, it looked longer than I expected it to, but once I put the dress on, it was the perfect length - sexy yet classy! 

Fit well and worked great for the night out, zipper is a little hard to get up but understandable considering all the thick lace!

I felt so sexy in this dress! It gives the illusion that you're just wearing black lace...my husband loved it and I got so many compliments! 

I rented this as a back up for a party and wore it to the daytime event instead.  I dressed it down with black tights, boots and a sweater and it was perfect.  Since I am pear shaped, it was more snug on the bottom, but I noticed that it loosened as the day wore on (like spandex in jeans!)  I loved wearing it!

Loved this dress it looked great but I definitely needed to go up a size. I have a 36C bust and the 10 was very fitted. I can usually wear a 6, 8, or 10 in a dress depending on the cut and I am very glad I decided to rent the 8 and the 10 for my event. For anyone who is busty or curvy make sure to rent the next size up for your event. Very fitted through hips and bust. As long as you get the right size the dress is super cute and can easily be dressed up or dressed down for a more casual party.

I started looking to rent a NYE dress late, so pretty much everything I wanted was already gone in my size. This dress was probably my 7th or 8th choice - and they didnt even have my backup size (the 4 or the 8) - so I was a little nervous about the whole thing. 

This dress turned out to be my favorite RTR rental yet! I have J. Lo hips, so putting it on required some shimmying, but I felt so unbelievably sexy in this dress. If you're on the shorter side, I could see how the style might feel a little more formal, but at 5'7, the dress was just short enough to attract some serious attention, while still being classy. 

The leather trim is a fabulous detail, and I really really regretted having to mail this one back! 

I rented this dress for Christmas Eve. Perfect for a family affair because it is conservative and classy without being too boring. I would defintely buy this dress! It fits perfectly.
