I chose this dress as an option and it was the one I went with! It fit perfectly and was very flattering. This dress received so many compliments and head turns by the end of the night! I was so sad to see it go, but I will definitely rent again!

Great dress.

Rented this for an event that was, sadly, rescheduled due to a blizzard. When I tried it on, however, it was flattering. RTR was very good about reimbursing me for the dress and I was able to re-rent it for the rescheduled event. I wore the 4. Low bun and red lipstick (and some fabulous earrings also courtesy of RTR) and was ready to go!

Wore this out for my birthday, and I got a lot of compliments. Great dress!
Size worn: 2
Overall fit: True to Size

It fit exactly how I thought it would. The fabric was super soft, and it was very comfortable. It gave the illusion of an hourglass figure, and I was able to dress it down with black tights and flats. I'm 5'8, so without flats/tights, it might have look a little too short for me. Overall, I really enjoyed renting this!

I rented this and an additional dress. This was the one, it looked amazing and was perfect with the chunky gold necklace and nude pumps I already had. It was comfortable I sized up and would definitely go back down to a 10 if i rent this again.

I rented both the size 2 and the size 4 and ended up wearing the 2 as it just was a better fit for my shoulders but I could of easily worn the 4 as well as it was a tad bit longer and fit relatively the same.

Gorgeous and super comfortable LBD with lace panels. I thought it may not be as formal as I would need it to be, but it worked out smashingly well. The jersey knit was breathable and cooling on a hot summer day!

I received a lot of compliments on this dress!
Size worn: 2
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Wedding
I rented this dress in a 2 and a 4 for a January wedding. I did receive several compliments on it. I ended up wearing the 2, but it pulled in the hip area a bit. The 4 had a big fabric wrinkle in the back where I am short waisted. After seeing some professional photos a few weeks ago, I'm wondering if this dress was a tad inappropriate. I could see a whole lot of bright white leg. Maybe it would look better with tights?

Renting this LBD was great!

I wore this dress for NYE. I am usually between a 4 and a 6 and I ended up wearing the 4. They both fit about the same but the 6 was longer and I am short (5'2") so I wanted the shorter one. It does have a conservative neckline, but it is super tight and short (if you want it to be) so that adds something to it.

I would wear this again almost anywhere. It has a conservative neckline but hugs your curves (in a good way!) It does ride up so wear tights if thats not the look your going for.

This dress was remarkably small. I've rented very similar ones that fit entirely differently. I had rented it for a work event but, it was so short and so tight I looked like I was going to the club. Had to pass.

I wore this to my boyfriend's fraternity formal.
Size worn: 4
Overall fit: Large
Rented for: Formal Affair
Dress was a nice fit, and I am very busty. However, it is fell longer on me (closer to the knees) than I would have liked. I am 5'3". However, overall, I received tons of compliments all night and it was very comfortable! I went with the 4 because the 6 was way too big on me! And I usually wear a 6.

Nice dress, just not for me
Size worn: 10
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Other
I rented this dress in a 10 &12. The 10 fit perfect throughout the whole dress but it was short, and I mean SHORT. I tried on the 12 and the 12 proved to be way too boxy all over. I paired the 10 with opaque tights and even with the tights, it wasn't working. I should mention that I have a "bubble butt" but the difference in the two sizes didn't make for a comfortable or flattering fit. The fabrc of the dress tends to ride up which also didn't help the fit.

The dress fits snug but comfortable. It stretches and you can dance all night long wearing this. I am shorter and the hem was above my knee which was great. The color and design would flatter anybody.

Cute dress, but not the right fit.
Size worn: None
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Party
I rented this dress for a winter cocktail party, but did not end up wearing it. The event was a work function and thus I wanted to keep my dress on the fun-but-conservative side. I rented a size larger (4) from my normal size (2), as many other reviewers mentioned that the dress ran small and had minimal stretch. Unfortunately, the dress was too big on me. It is, however, a fun and easy-to-wear LBD as long as you can get the sizing right. The length, cut, and lining beneath the lace details make this dress appropriate for a number of different winter events.

The 4 was too big in the hips. The 2 fit me, but then the waist sat too high and it was too short. Had it fit it would probably have been very comfortable.

I loved this dress, but it just didn't fit me right. My regular size was way too big and hung off funny. I did get the side smaller and that was still too big in the waist. I wished it fit me better because it is a beautiful dress!

The dress runs a little small, but mostly true to size. Had there been some stretch to the material, I probably would've worn it; as it was, though, I couldn't lift my arms and it looked unflattering.

This dress was very comfortable, and ran very true to size. The fabric was a little stretchy, which was nice, and it hugged in flattering places. However, I was not a huge fan of the cap sleeves, although the lace detail was nice. Overall I thought this dress was cute, but very ordinary. I didn't end up wearing it.

This dress was perfect for a formal holiday event I attended. I'm quite short so I didn't expect the dress to either fit or be flattering.. but thankfully I was wrong! The 0 fit beautifully and wasn't too long or too short! This dress was fantastic and I got tons of compliments!

This dress was great. The fabric is super comfortable and stretchy, but hugged my body all night (didn't stretch out). I loved that I was covered up top and my legs were the focal point. It's the kind of dress that women compliment and men just love.

I am in love with this dress, I am so sad to have to send it back. I got a 4 and 6, both fit but the 4 was just the right amount of tight. I did not need to wear a bra at all, and it felt like wearing a comfy cotton dress but I looked dressed to the 9s!

Overall fit: True to Size

I rented this dress and ended up not wearing it. I didn't like how it pulled at the center. Instead of the triangles on the side bringing in my waist, it pulled it weird so it didn't synch my waistline at all.

Rented for: Wedding
I rented this dress for an evening wedding. It fit like a glove, and my boyfriend said it looked beautiful. I have a 36-38 D bust and it didn't pull at all. I usually wear between a 10 and a 12. I would suggest wearing spanx underneath because it is very fitted. It's also short, but not so short that your butt will fall out. Wear it with really high stiletto pumps, and you'll look fierce.

This is a very cute and VERY slimming dress! I usually wear a 4, and ordered a 4 and 6 at the advice of other reviews - neither really fit. I chose to go with the 4 (which was short and a bit snug) over the 6 which was huge in the hips and chest.

wore this to a wedding and i must say it was a choice well made. rented the bracelets also to give the outfit a bit of glitz. dress is body conscious and the lace panels really do enhance/give an illusion of a waist.

This dress was perfect for a nice date night out. I am only 5'2 and it was very short on me. I am typically a 2 and ordered a 4 as a backup and the dress was still quite snug so keep that in mind and size up for sure. It hugged in all of the right places and really emphasized curves. Would rent again!

Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Date
I rented this dress for a date on my birthday. It was the perfect combination of covered up, but tight - and it is pretty short (even on my 5'1" frame). With the peekaboo lace on the sides, it was definitely hot! I felt the dress worked perfectly for both dinner at a nice restaurant, and the club we went to after - a very fine line for a dress to be able to walk! I marked it as "runs small" - it fit me really well and actually hit in all the right places, but I'm very short, so I can see how it would probably be too short on a taller person.

Cute cocktail dress
Size worn: 10
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
I rented this for a daytime wedding, because I wanted something a little different from the typical LBD. It fit the bill! The lace cutouts give it some sex appeal while making your waist appear smaller. I had to pull down the dress a few times, it tends to ride up a bit, but overall the fit was good and the dress was comfortable.

Nothing Special

Body-hugging style is unforgiving even though the thick fabric. The bottom hem is tight so I would not suggest this for a pear shape. Also the dress is short so I would not consider it work appropriate. Overall I only gave this dress 3 stars because it didn't have a wow factor.

This dress had a good body-con fit, and the fabric was nice (like a thick ponte knit). I thought the lace cap-sleeves and side-panels were great for drawing attention to my exposed limbs and creating the illusion of a more curvaceous figure. I would definitely rent this dress again.

I didn't end up wearing the dress only because it wasn't totally right for the occasion, but I did love it! I do agree with the other post about wearing it with tights because it is a little short. But overall it was very form-fitting yet flattering (but I would recommend wearing Spanx!)
