Classy and comfortable

Size worn: 6

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Wedding

I wore this to a black tie optional wedding and it was completely appropriate. I felt really comfortable the whole night. I wore the 6 but sort of which I'd worn the 4 because I felt the rouching in the front made it look like I had a belly, which the 4 did a little less because it was tighter.

It made such a great bump dress! It was comfy, too!

Size worn: 8

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Wedding

I typically wear a 6-8, so I went with the 8 since I am 7 months pregnant. I didn't get the back-up size (it came back damaged), so thankfully the 8 worked out just fine! The back is low enough to be elegant but high enough that I could wear a regular bra with it, which was an added bonus in my opinion. A lot of dresses that aren't specifically maternity dresses ride up in the front due to the belly size, but this sat nicely. I'm sure it's a great non-prego dress, but for being pregnant and not wanting to look like a circus tent, this certainly fit the bill!

They didn't have the size 2 for the dates I needed, so I went up a size based on the reviews, and the 4 worked fine. It is stretchy, and very fitted, but I was comfortable in it all night long. Would definitely rent again. The House of Harlow Black Geometric necklace was perfect with the dress too.

I got so many compliments and the dress fit every curve on my body. The only complaint is that the details of the dress didn't show up in the pictures. I believe it was because the pictures were in a darker setting, but the dress was stunning in person! The dress was exceptionally comfortable although it did seem to run a little large. The photo isn't the best but I totally blanked on taking pictures at the event!

Being 6' I was scared that this dress was going to be too short, but it fit me right where I wished it did. The chest was a little low/big for my liking, but I felt comfortable and was able to dance all night long!

I've never heard as many compliments on anything as I did on this dress and necklace.

Size worn: 8

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Formal Affair

Dress fits true to size--honestly, I possibly could have gone a size down, surprisingly. It's got a decent amount of stretch. It says to wear with Spanx, but you really don't need to--the material is thick enough and the shirring placed just so that it hides most problem areas. You can definitely wear a proper bra under it, which is fantastic because I can no longer find usable strapless bras (hooray for being super busty). The only issue with the dress I noticed is an unfixable structural issue. It doesn't have a hook closure at the top, so when I was swing dancing, the dress tended to unzip itself. Oh well! The band/dance partners enjoyed it, I'm sure. Necklace is fantastic. Once you put it on, it really doesn't move around, and it's super sparkly and pretty. Excellent suggestion from the stylists here.

My husband loved the dress...so much that he wants to find it and buy it for me!

Size worn: 10

Overall fit: Small

Rented for: Formal Affair

I wear a size 8 in most things. At the time of my order, the size 10 was the only size available, and it's a good thing! This dress fit me perfectly, but it was snug! An 8 in this dress would not have worked. I really loved everything about this dress--the color was exactly as it's shown online, the details in the dress were beautiful, and it was very comfortable. The fabric is stretchy and very forgiving--although it was snug, I was able to move, dance and BREATHE all night long quite comfortably. This was my first RTR dress used, and I will definitely be using them again!

Size worn: 10

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Party

This was a fantastic dress! I wore it to a fundraising event with a red theme. It was sooo comfortable! The zipper matched the dress - not the black one as in the picture. I had many compliments, especially from my husband!!! I also had the size 8 (my normal size), and could have worn it, but the 10 had just a little more room overall, which is why I picked it. I would suggest this dress to anyone of any size. Thank you, RTR, in helping me have a wonderful night!

This was actually my back up dress, but I ended up wearing this instead of the other dress I picked. This dress is awesome! Material is fantastic, color is gorgeous! You can wear a regular bra with this dress and it has just enough stretch to let you shake that booty into the night.

Figure Flattering

Size worn: 4

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Date

Loved wearing this dress! The color is a beautiful red and I preferred that my zipper was covered with red cloth instead of black like in the picture. The cut and rouching of the dress make it super figure flattering. The scoop neck showed just the right amount of decollete and the hemline hit perfectly at mid-thigh (I'm 5'8). I wore control top stocking with this but probably didn't need them, the dress is that flattering. My husband thought I looked super hot and I felt super hot wearing this amazing dress! Thanks RTR!

So Many Compliments!

Size worn: 8

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Party

This dress was the perfect dress to wear to my husband's work holiday party. It was the right balance between classy and a little sexy! I am super busty and I have a hard time finding dresses that fit all my curves without looking too tight or big and boxy, but this one was amazing. The rouching and some Spanx were just enough to cover a little extra weight without looking bulky. The length was just right too.

I ordered a 2 and a 4, the 4 was a little loose. The 2 was tight but fit very very well. Really hugs your curves and everyone will think you look amazing! I wore this to a Christmas party. The material was a silky rayon so it didnt wrinkle. You can pull the dress up or down and make it longer like in the RTR photo. I wore mine a little above the knee.

I wore this to my 20 year high school reunion. It worked great. The material was nice and the whole dress made me feel great. I am pear shaped and it was a little snug on the hips and back side but still worked well (wear your spanks). The rousing helped to cover any imperfections!

Overall fit: True to Size

I love this dress - it was my first rental with RTR, so I wasn't sure what size to get. I wore a size 6, but would have felt better in a size 4, as the ruche look adds some bulk to the abdomen (I don't have a belly, but in photos taken straight on, it looks like I do!) The fabric is stretchy so don't be afraid to size down for a flattering fit!

This dress is really a dream! The material is quite stretchy and forgiving - something I really needed at 6 mo. pregnant! - but it is still extremely flattering.

I rented this dress as by backup and it looks as though I'll be wearing it for an upcoming wedding. Looks and fits great! Ordered the next size up just in case, but I don't think I'll be needing it. Can't wait to wear it this weekend! Update: Not the greatest photo or the ideal look, but it was my brother's wedding and I was both the photographer (needed to wear leggings or shorts) and a guest, so I wanted to look good for the family photos.

My first experience with RTR was a success! I wanted to look exceptional for my 30 year High School Reunion and this dress did not disappoint! It fit like a glove in all the right places and really accentuated my curves. The fabric hugged every part of me, yet it wasn't binding and I had room to move. The length was perfect, not too short, yet not too long and it didn't ride up when I sat down and got up. So many compliments not only from the guys, but the girls as well! Needless to say, I felt like the belle of the ball. I would recommend this dress in a heartbeat, especially to any of us 'older' renters - it will make you look awesome and feel sexy all night long. Thank you RTR for making me look amazing for my Reunion!

Loved this dress. The color is more of a dark, pinky red. I could have worn the size 8, but it was a little too tight and it was not appropriate for a wedding. I'm 5'7" and the length is above the knee. The rouching all over the dress is VERY forgiving.I recieved so many compliments on this from the color to the fit and style. Also accessorized with earrings, bag, and bracelet from RTR. I would definitely rent again!

This dress was amazing from the time I opened it up. The color was bright, I liked the zipper detail in the back and the overall dress was very flattering. I put it on and did not want to take it off. The dress felt amazing on. I had rented this dress along with the black lace Nicole Miller dress. I opted to wear the Nicole Miller dress because the bride was wearing red. It was extremely sexy without showing to much skin. I was very bummed that I was unable to wear this one. I can not wait to rent this again!

I rented this dress for New Years Eve. It was perfect! I loved the shade of red and the fit of the dress. I usually go between a 2 and a 4. I wore the 4 for this dress. I figured that would be the case since the smallest size the dress came in was 2--I would never wear the smallest size of anything. Anyway--it is beautiful and I'd rent it again. My only disappointment was the fact that the zipper in the back was covered. I liked the exposed black zipper on the website.

I am 5'7" and 136 lbs, 6 months pregnant. Before pregnancy I was a size 0; I ordered this dress in a size 4 and it fit like a glove. I am also now a 34 DD, and this dress did show a lot of cleavage... but the hem is long enough to generally balance that out. I loved it, I was very comfortable, and I would definitely recommend it, particularly to other expectant lasses.

I went to my fiancee's holiday party, which is an outlandish, fancy affair. There were a few red dresses on very pretty women walking around, but I definitely liked mine the best!

Size worn: 6

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Party

This dress runs true to size, maybe runs big. Its stretchy and there are lots of folds and fabric all around so don't be afraid to order a size down. I wore the 6, but probably would have felt sexier in the 4 (wasn't available). While it was kind of boring in the front, it offered a nice curve around my behind. I was a little disappointed that the zipper cover was red, not black like in the photo. I wouldn't say this was my most exciting RTR dress, but definitely a safe bet. Great red, flexible, comfortable, easy dress.
