Donna Karan New York

I opted to pay extra for a second style. RTR called three days before my event to tell me that one of the styles I ordered was returned from the previous renter in unwearable condition. The customer service rep, Hannah, was kind and efficient and she let me know I could choose any other style in it's place. I chose this one. In the end, I did not choose to wear this dress to my event. I ordered a small and a medium. The color is true to the website and it's stunning. I also love the funky draping and straps on the front of this dress. It felt both elegant and fun. But this dress was definitely not for me. Both the small and the medium were somewhat tight in the elastic around the chest which resulted in a pinched look (you can kind of see this in the straight on photo). I'm not large chested, so I would definitely not recommend this for someone who is. The draping in the front of the dress would definitely disguise a tummy. I don't have to worry about that too much (yet), and so I felt it made my body look a little larger than it is. Also, the dresses were very long and the material was clingy around my legs. I am 5'5" and had on 5" heels. Walking in both the small and the medium, I felt like the fabric was not flowing out in front of me when I took a step and I felt like I was going to get tangled and slip. Last, my gramma has always said that you should look just as good going as you do coming. The back of this dress didn't wow me. A friend of mine with a slimmer waist tried on the small and felt that it accentuated her hips in an unflattering way. The zipper on this dress is extremely tight. I was so paranoid about ripping it, that I just slid in and out of the dress with it zipped. Overall the color and draping on this dress are beautiful, but there were some style points that I felt didn't make it right for me.

This dress had a great light fabric, it was slightly long for me and I needed to hold it up when I walked to keep from getting caught. Overall this elegant dress is VERY slenderizing - I received compliments the entire night!

I originally rented a different dress that was damaged beyond repair and was told to pick another dress from the site. I'm very much a planner and totally FREAKED OUT! With the help of Lindsay A. we picked this GORGEOUS dress! I was so happy when it arrived and fit great! I'm short (5'2 and 3/4" - I round up to 5'3") and I wore 2.5/3 inch heels and still had to pick the dress up when I walked or dance. But other than that the fit was amazing! You will need help zipping up the dress just because of where the zipper is. I can't wait to rent again!!

This dress is a beautiful red. It's also very comfortable, which is a plus for a gown. I'm 5'2 though, and the dress was quite long on me, even with 3 inch heels. And due to the material, hem tape didn't work on it, so I spent most of the evening holding up the dress. Overall, however, very elegant and easy to wear. I got a lot of compliments!

Great new black tie or formal option! The dress is a very easy fit! The top/bust area is stretchy but I wouldn't recommend renting if you are larger than a C cup. I felt as though I needed to adjust my bust a little bit. The zipper also seemed as though it wasn't going to zip because of the structure of the dress but then easily zipped and was very comfortable! I would recommend going with your true size (XS, S, M and L). I would size down if you are very small up top, as it is not very fitted on the bottom. and I would recommend sizing up if you are larger on the top. Great red! Perfect, light material! I wore about 4 1/2" heels!
