Lovely and comfortable, too

Size worn: 10R

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Formal Affair

I chose this dress for my very first RTR, and it was a good choice. I have a large chest (36DD) and needed something I could wear with a regular bra. This gown looked great; the gathered front is flattering and the gold-flecked material is a nice change of pace from a straight black dress. I ordered the 8R with a 10R as a backup, and wound up wearing the 10R because I couldn't get the 8R to zip up in the back. I was grateful for the small package of fashion tape that RTR sent, because I needed it to secure the dress to my bra in the front and to the straps in the back to keep them from peeping out.

On the verge of too short

Size worn: 8L

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Formal Affair

I loved this dress, I got the 6L as a back up size and it fit great, but it was too short! And the 8L was really a little too short too, but I wore 1inch heels and got away with it. This dress is super comfortable!

Easiest dress for a formal event!

Size worn: 6L

Overall fit: Large

Rented for: Formal Affair

Loved this dress- the color works on everyone, the cut is flattering (manages the curves), it's a comfortable and low-maintenance fabric to handle for a night of dancing. I wore a regular bra, which is obviously a plus too. To note, I am 5'4'' and originally ordered the regular length... almost 4 inches too short, so thankfully the goddesses at RTR were able to overnight the long length, which I ended up wearing. Would recommend to anyone!

Great shine, glam dress perfect for a wedding or fancy night out

Size worn: 8L

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Wedding

Dress is very comfortable (which isn't common with sequin dresses) and has great coverage for still wearing a bra with straps. Lightweight shimmery material looks better and photographs better than it looks on the website.

Great silhouette!

Size worn: 4L

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Formal Affair

I wore this dress to a law school formal and it was perfect for the event. I got tricked by all the reviews saying this dress was too short and I wanted to ensure that it would still be floor length even with heals, so I ordered the long rather than the regular. However the long was a little too long for me, I had to hold it up anytime I was walking. Other than that, I was really happy with the silhouette and the style of the dress.

Beautiful and a little different than most gowns at the ball!

Size worn: 8R

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Formal Affair

I wore this dress for an inaugural ball and could not have been happier! The fabric has some stretch so it was quite comfortable. I ordered a size up for my back up but wore my normal size. I was able to wear a regular bra which is always a plus with a bigger bust! I wore 4 inch heels and the length was perfect, it just skimmed the floor, however, if you are tall this dress would be much too short.

Cheap fabric and cartoonishly short. If this was the only dress I had, I would have been sunk.

Size worn: 4R

Overall fit: Small

Rented for: Wedding

As you can see from the photo, the underlay stopped half way down my calf. I'm 5' 9", but still (the long wasn't available), it was extremely short. The overlay was very cheap-feeling and didn't look at all like it did in the photos. I wish I'd gotten a close-up. In the photos it looked textured and bronze, in person it was a scratchy sparkle layer. Also, the bust made a uni-boob.

Comfortable and perfect for the occasion

Size worn: 4R

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Wedding

Loved the look of the dress and got lots of compliments on it. Overall it was comfortable and as a full chested gal, the straps were very supportive, which is always a positive. That said, the draping made me look like my chest was even bigger and since it's a little higher cut than in the picture, I thought it made me look a little dowdy. As others have mentioned, it runs on the short side so if you're any taller than 5'3" and planning to wear heels, I would order a L instead of a R.

Pretty dress, but SHORT!

Size worn: 6L

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Party

This dress worked perfectly for my occasion; a slightly formal work Christmas party. It worked because: it's less sparkly than I thought it would be (sort of a let-down), it did not show a lot of chest (neckline was higher on me than on model), I could eat in it! (flattering fit), I HAD to wear flats so I could dance (good or bad, depending on how you look at it). Overall I felt very pretty and glamorous in the dress, and I tried to pull a 'grecian' look with my hair since I had to basically wear sandals! BUT, I think the rental price for this should be $75; it just wasn't ass fabulous as I expected! Though everyone loved it and I got lots of compliments and I'm really mad I didn't take more pictures. Oh well. Thank you RTR as usual, it always works out since you get two sizes.

Mostly Fab!

Size worn: 4L

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Formal Affair

This dress definitely fit true to size and was very comfortable. It has a greenish tint to it with gold sparkles. The only thing I didn't like about the dress is the draping on the bust area was a little off on one side and did not match the draping on the other side. Also, I wore copper gold really short heels and still this dress was not long enough (I even ordered the long, and I'm 5'7'') and my feet were showing, which annoyed me. Other than the length and the draping, it was a great dress that I was able to move and dance around in for hours. My friend pictured on the left is wearing the Nicole Miller Such A Knockout Gown and she looked great in it!

Size worn: 10R

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Formal Affair

This dress fit true to size. The regular length was perfect with my 3 inch heels. Any higher and I might have needed the long. The dress was flowy in the right places and made me feel like a princess. I got so many compliments and can't wait to rent the runway again!

could have been better...

Size worn: 2R

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Date

I'm fairly certain that the specific dress I received had been altered (perhaps it had stretched out over time?)... the left chest area was SUPER wonky... the dress itself fit perfectly and was really quite beautiful when I put it on. The problem with the left boob area unfortunately was so disastrous that even my boyfriend pointed it out (and he's not the most detail oriented person) I safety pinned the extra fabric back so it didn't look like I had one disformed saggy boob and wore it anyway since I paid for it! I think it would have been an amazing dress if it wasn't for that, and like I said I think it was something that was specific to the dress they sent me...

Feeling glowing and elegant in a gorgeous dress.

Size worn: 8R

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Formal Affair

This dress was beautiful, glamourous but not ostentatious. It was very comfortable. Though I am not all that tall (5'5") I felt the vertical pleats made me look longer. The waistline offers helpful definition. I loved the grecian draping of this dress, but in a warm gold/brown color that didn't make me look like I should be holding up a pillar somewhere on a temple in Greece. I fit into both the Size 6 and Size 8, but wore the larger size just because it was a little more comfortable. The length worked with a low heel, so the hemline was just above the ground.

Black Tie Wedding

Size worn: 12R

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Wedding

I really loved wearing this dress--felt elegant but different enough that I wasn't just wearing black. It fit really well, and I am quite busty. My only small complaint is that the length for the regular is a bit short. I am 5'3" and wore 3 inch heels which were definitely too tall. If you are tall or like heels, I would think about trying both lengths when you order.

I rented this dress as my backup style for prom, but my first selection fit so there was no need to wear it. I wish I could have worn this to a fancy dinner before sending it back though bc I would have loved to have worn it! It fit perfectly, was very flattering, and is a gorgeous dress with great detailing!

I am 5'6'', and ordered a 6L. The length was perfect with heels. The color of the dress is slightly different than it appears on the website. It is black and gold, not olive. However, the dress was stunning and flattering. The draped detail is beautiful, and the picture shown on the website does not do it justice. I received endless compliments all night. Thank you!

I tried this for a formal event

Size worn: 4R

Overall fit: Small

Rented for: Formal Affair

I should have read the comments before ordering this dress - it was much shorter than I was expecting. I am 5'7'', and I usually don't need to order a long. This dress did not quite reach the floor, meaning I couldn't have worn heels, and the lining came to about my ankles. I would have ordered a long if I'd known. I wound up wearing the back-up dress I ordered instead.

Looks cheap

Size worn: None

Overall fit: Small

Rented for: Wedding

I rented this dress for a black tie wedding, and didn't end of wearing it. The material looked very cheap and the worst part was it ran super short. I am tall, but the dress barely made it to my ankle (and I rented a tall!). Resulted in a not so fun last minute shopping trip....

So flattering post baby!

Size worn: 8R

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Formal Affair

I was disappointed when I first received it because I thought the material looked really cheap - definitely not $600 worth as is the actual retail price of the dress. However, the dress was so, so flattering that it almost entirely made up for it. I just had two kids back to back and am really self conscience about my baby weight in the middle, this relieved me from spending a lot of money on what I hope is a temporary size, the agony of going store to store looking for a tummy hiding dress, and the time involved. I looked very different from everyone and that made me feel pretty good, too. I wore with shiny gold shoes and black earrings, although shiny gold earring would go also. I ordered both the 8R and 8L because I heard it ran short with heels. I am 5'2" and I was able to wear 4 inch heels with the regular dress, BUT the dress hung about 1/2 inch above the floor.

Cheap material and way too short!!

Size worn: None

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Formal Affair

I ordered a size 4R because the size guide said that the regular length should be fine for someone my height but the dress was bizarrely short! Fell right below my ankles and certainly would have looked awkward with any type of heel. Though the fit was otherwise nice, the material of the dress feels rather cheap. I wouldn't recommend it for a truly formal affair.

Size worn: 2R

Overall fit: Small

Rented for: Formal Affair

Beautiful gown but, way too short. I am 5'3" and it didn't even hit the floor when I tried it on barefoot. I could not wear it as I refuse to wear flats to a black tie event. I put that it runs small because honestly....I don't know who could wear this dress due to the length unless they are under 4' tall.

I ordered the 4 as a backup, but that's what I wore. This dress is pretty flattering for all body types. I'm fairly flat chested, but the dress looked fine. A full-chested woman would look good in it too. I have a big butt for my body, but the 4 wasn't tight at all. It looks better if you go smaller.

Great dress - runs short.

Size worn: 6R

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Formal Affair

This is a great dress. Black and gold metallic fabric...not the olive color that it looks on the website. A little ill-fitting on the top because of the way it is draped, but nothing that some fashion tape couldn't fix. I am short (5'2) and the 6R barely hit the floor with 3 inch heels on. I would go with the long size if you are taller than 5'3 and planning on wearing heels. I would also order a smaller size as your back-up (in the long, though). I had plenty of room in the 6. The dress does not cling at all and is well made. A little scratchy but modern and elegant.

This was a stunning dress in real life that I wore to a black tie gala, however, I couldn't wear my sky high heels with it because it runs on the short side, even though I ordered a Long and wore a 12 instead of a 10 to get some extra length. Still was very comfortable and beautiful.

I am usually a 0 so as expected it ran a TINY bit big on me, but not big enough that I couldnt wear it. I was worried it would be WAY too long, but the 2R was short enough that I didn't feel like I was tripping even in 3.5 inch heals

I liked this dress a lot, got a lot of compliments.

Size worn: 2R

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Wedding

I am 5'6 and 120# and the two fit well, could have used a smaller size. If you usually wear a zero the 2 will be too big for you. I also thought the dress was ways too short for someone my height. The length is not for anyone 5'6 and over.
