This dress runs slightly small. We recommend going one size up for back-up size (see following fit notes for exceptions).

BUST: Great for any cup size - if sizing up due to narrow skirt, use fashion tape to secure bust
WAIST: Fitted - fitted at natural waist - dress runs slightly small at waist so size up in back-up size; waist band and pleated bodice are flattering on midsection
HIPS: Very fitted - narrow skirt so curvy women should size up
LENGTH: Mini - (on a 5'5" model) - may be worn with dark hosiery for a more conservative look

UNDERGARMENTS: Should be worn with a strapless bra
FABRIC: Fabric has no stretch
GREAT FOR: Full Bust, Hourglass, Petite, Straight & Narrow body types
(Model's height is 5'9')

The dress was pretty but didn't work well with my body!
Size worn: 6
Overall fit: Small

The length of the dress was good for my height, but the material made me look heavy. We had to tape the layers of fabric down and we went up a size. I would recommend this dress for someone who has a sleeker body type. But i did get a lot of compliments on the dress because it was one of a kind! This was my second time renting form RRW and i will do it again, i love it!! I would post a picture but its not letting me right now.

It wouldn't be a bad idea to go 2 sizes up especially if you have a full bust. I wore a size 8 and it was almost too small.

Perfect LBD with a little pizzaz

Fit perfectly & looked great on! Rented it for 2 separate occasions (a NYE party & a fancy dinner out in LA). The dressed was perfect or both occasions! Use double sided tape to prevent the dress from shifting. I am the curviest on my hips, the dress fits small around that area so take that into consideration when choosing a size!

I rented this dress for my school's homecoming dance.. it stayed comfortable all night, no itchiness or falling down. It was the perfect length, not slutty short but not awkwardly long. It wasn't tight but it is form-fitting in some areas, like one side of the butt. Pictures do not do this dress justice! I tried including some full length pictures so you could see the sparkle, but it just didn't capture on film. I also included a picture of me sitting down so you could see how badly it rides up.. it gets pretty short! It was comfortable to dance in and I even bowled in it afterwards with no riding up or feeling uncomfortable! Overall I loved the experience and revieved many compliments and I will definately be renting again!

Being able to meet my best friend in the whole world's wardrobe requirements for her wedding.
Size worn: 8
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
The dress was really pretty and I'm sure for more slender girls would work great. It looked fine on me, but was incredibly tight on my lower half (which to be honest, is my larger half) - I think the word I would use to describe it would be "bootylicious". But, all in all it is a beautiful dress. I also ordered the 10 just in case the 8 didn't work and the 10 didn't look as good as the 8 and really didn't give any additional space in the lower half. I am a 34 B and the top fit OK, but I would recommend fashion tape to avoid having the top fold over.

I loved this dress. I rented it for my birthday and wore it with a tiara and it was just perfect. I was originally looking for a colorful dress, but the sequins were festive enough that I didn't mind the black at all. I felt sophisticated and pretty and had a great time.

I'm usually a 00P/XXS, so the dress was loose and a bit too long. I'm not voluptuous either so it just looked straight (LOL). The belt area was weird. It looked okay, but the construction was actually flimsy and so-so at best. It did do its purpose though--not a bad LBD for the price.

This was the first time I'd tried RTR. I rented this dress for a banquet event and was a little leery about size and whether it would get there to my house on time. I was more than impressed! The dress arrived on the exact day it was supposed to and was in great condition. I'd actually ordered it in two sizes afraid that it might run small or fit wrong, but it fit true to the size I usually wear and was even more beautiful in-person. It was actually comfortable, too! I would definitely recommend this dress and renting from RTR in the future.

Expected incredible, but ended up disappointed...
Size worn: 2
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Party
I had high hopes for this dress. As someone with a straight and narrow body type, I thought the middle would cinch in more and create an hourglass figure. This wasn't the case. It was still hot because of the mini length, but it wasn't a WOW dress on me. I imagine if you're a little curvier, you'll look great though!

I rented this as a back up for a formal wedding and ended up going with my first pick, but could have easily worn this one. Thankfully I got a back-up size one size larger than I normally wear, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to give this dress four stars. But the larger size fit perfectly. I loved how it hugged my legs, but had draping that was forgiving in my mid-section. Because the details are so subtle, it can almost seem too plain - but I still loved it!

Size worn: 8
Overall fit: Small

I wore this last spring break in Vegas for a night out. I loved it, but it did fit a bit small, and the top kept slipping down. Fashion tape helped a bit, but not much. The only downside was that the dress I received was a bit worn. Overall, I'd recommend it and would probably rent again.

This dress looks really cute and almost sweet on the model on the website but don't let it deceive you!! It is a HOT dress!! I don't think I eve looked so good. The dress is pretty short and hugs your body to make you look great!! It's a really great dress and I would rent it again for something else I want to look drop dead gorgeous in.

I didn't end up wearing this dress for New Years Eve last year. It was lovely, but just didn't look good on my body. There was no give or stretch in the fabric at all, and for a pear-shaped woman like me, it just didn't work.

This dress is beautiful - the picture does not do it justice. It runs true to size but has absolutely no stretch so be careful. If you're bigger on the bottom and smaller on the top, like me, your true size should work it's just a little snug in the derriere but not immobilizing. I wore this to a friends wedding last October w/ black tights. It was so chic and fun, I got a ton of compliments.

Not Very Flattering
Size worn: 4
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Date
I liked the idea of the dress but it wasn't very flattering. Im somewhere between and hour glass and pear shape and the dress gave me no waist, I looked a bit like a box. Actually now looking at it again the model looks a little boxy too. Also the dress material seemed to have shrunk from multiple drycleaning so the hem was unevern. Im pretty consistantly a four and the dress was tight. The 6 felt better but was even more unflattering because of being to big.

I absolutely loved this dress. I am a pretty curvy girl with a small waist so I found that I had plenty of room in the waist area but it was really tight around my butt so size up with your second size if you're curvy would be my best suggestion.

I rented this dress in a size 0 (I'm 5'3" 100 lbs) and it fit perfectly! It's really fun and was perfect for my party on new years eve. If I were to have one complaint, though, it would be that the front piece of the dress that wraps around the hips was a little looser than the rest of the dress, presumably from wear. However, it was still really flattering and I would recommend it to petite girls!

Cute and Fun Dress for Parties
Size worn: 12
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Party
I wore this on NYE and it was perfect - sexy and fun without showing too much skin. I wore it with black tights as it was a colder night and it is fairly short (I'm 5'9"). It defines the waist nicely and the draping was flattering. I'm glad RTR included tape because the top would flop over a bit to reveal the clear rubber-like material that helped keep it up. Overall, very cute and would recommend this dress to a friend!

I was overall very pleased with this dress. It fit like a glove, which is to say I did a bit of hip manuvering but in the end I was pleased with how it fit. I did also rent a size larger, however the larger size made the top appear too big and was not as flattering as the smaller size. The pleating and sequins gives the dress a unique look but also made it initially appear almost wrinkled. I think it was supposed to look like that and when it was on seemed to fall into place.

I loved this dress but it runs very small. I normally wear a six but I have a very curvy hourglass figure. I ordered and 8 and 10 because I read that this runs small, I ended up wearing the 10! I wore it to a black-tie function and did not want to wear a long dress there. It was perfect! I dressed it up with sparkly heels and sheer black stockings and I got a lot of compliments. It is however, fairly short.

Very cute dress... but doesn't not fit well on my hour glass figure. I'm inbetween a 4 and 6 right now, and the only difference between sizes was the bust area. The 4 fit fine for the bust (34B) but the 6 was big. The waist and skirt part of the dress were very tight while the "flowing" part of the dress, where the sequins are, was big and very unflattering! Couldn't wear neither dress. Glad it was my backup and my first pick dress looked great!
