This dress fit perfect!! Made out of nice fabric, pretty color, and it is really slimming. Only thing you have to watch out for is the arm hole so it doesn't show your bra or too much side-boob. The off-the shoulder look was so fun and I had no problems with the fabric slipping as noted in some other reviews.

Hot dress...

Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
WOW! What a dress...still getting compliments (especially from guys!) 5 months after the formal. Definitely more form-fitting than I though it would be, but hugs the curves in all the right places...was a little constricting in the shoulder/ arm area but didn't really bother me.

Beautiful, classic dress!
Size worn: 4
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
I loved this dress and got so many compliments on it. I wore it for a semi-formal awards event with nude pumps and it was perfect! It fit amazingly (though I would recommend some Spanx, as it is very fitted in the hips) and was super comfortable. The only thing that may be a little annoying would be if you were trying to do a lot of dancing in this dress- the off-the-shoulder sleeves kinda limit your moves. Overall, I LOVED this dress and wish I could buy it! More fit notes: it does DEFINITELY show off your curves and is pretty fitted. I am pretty pear shaped and it was definitely hugging on my hips (in a good way). You'll want to wear a sticky bra, because you do get a little sideboob action and a regular bra would show (you can see in the third picture).

"That dress was magical"-my date
Size worn: 4
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
Loved this dress!! Hugged in all the right places. I am smaller on top with a much curvier bottom half (32" chest, 27" waist, 40" hips). It has a great amount of stretch- could dance, sit, eat, and drink comfortably all night. My only compalint is that the "off the shoulder" look was hard to keep in place. I eneded up using small safty pins around the interior to make sure it stayed in place. i highly recommend this dress; the fit and color were a huge hit!

Rented for: Formal Affair
I wore this to my sorority's formals event and the dress was perfect. I ordered the size 2 as a back up size (usually wear a 4) and the 2 fit perfectly! The dress does run a little bigger for me and I am also a little shorter so the 2 was perfect for my preference. I didn't use fashion tape, but the sleeves of the dress had to be adjusted throughout the night. Other than that, it was a nice little red dress that made me feel beautiful and gorgeous all night!

The perfect balance of classy and sexy. I fit right in at my law school's annual ball!
Size worn: 4
Overall fit: Large
Rented for: Formal Affair
Usually I wear a 6, but given how stretchy this dress is, I wore a 4. Even the 4 had a little gathered fabric in it at places, so I actually wished I had ordered a size 2 and 4, instead of a size 4 and 6, just to see if running even one size lower would have made the dress look as smooth as it did on the model. Maybe my body type had something to do with it? Idk. But it may have also been because the dress rode up a little bit from moving - I should have put some fashion tape down there to help things out. Another thing to be cautious about - I tried all kinds of underwear with this dress and even my tiniest items showed lines through the dress. I didn't wear any spanx, so maybe that would have helped. On the upside, I did not have ANY issues with the arm holes, like other reviewers did. I wore my regular strapless bra and had absolutely no problem. I also took other reviewers' advice and preemptively lined the folded down shoulder area with fashion tape, and had no problem at any point in the night with it flipping up. Overall, SO happy I got this dress!

Beautiful dress. Tons of compliments. Perfect for Valentine's Day!
Size worn: 6
Overall fit: Large
Rented for: Date
I normally wear a size 8 dress, but the 8 was a little baggy and folded in funny places. The 6 worked out perfectly. I recommend adding an accessory like a brooch or big necklace to break up the red a bit, otherwise it is a little plain for my taste. Some shapewear will go a long way in this dress as well. Although I'm not wearing shoes in the picture, I wore strappy, black heels. Pairing it with nude heels would look really cute, too.

LOVE this material. Feels great on and to touch. Nice and thick material too. I wore a size 6, which bunch ed alittle in the back, but for me it was better to do the 6 instead of the 4. But the 4 also fit. I didn't have the side boob problem, and i actually wore a strapless shaper slip under it. So it worked perfectly. My guy loved it and thought I looked amazing! One woman even gave me the dirtiest look I've ever seen! Which is good, i guess!

This dress was an absolute dream. It hugged every curve (thank you Spanks) and the off-shoulder neckline was subtly sexy. If you're body conscious this isn't the dress for you, but if you want something to help get you noticed then this is definitely your dress.

My boyfriend LOVED the dress, and I stood out the whole night wearing red!
Size worn: 4
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
I am typically a 4, but I ordered a 4 and a 6 just in case the fit was too tight. In hind sight, I could have probably even rocked a 2 (so I would order your second size down, not up). The dress is very tight fitting and really shows off your shape. LOVED the color, loved the style. I wore this for a sorority formal and spent the whole night dancing, and the dress is great for lots of movement and dancing...very giving. My only issue was I am a big busted woman, and the armpit holes of the dress come down pretty far, almost causing some side boob issues for me, which I am really self conscious about. So I wouldn't necessarily recommend the dress for other large chested women.

I loved this dress. Surprisingly, it has a lot of stretch in the material, which is great if you're like me and are hosting a party. You can bend down, pick things up, run to get extra chairs, etc. This dress is also surprisingly very sexy. I didn't realize it would be so short -- still, I sucked it up and strutted my stuff!

Fit was the perfect combination of body-con and flattering. It has less hold than a Herve dress, but still keeps you tucked in. Lots of other users have commented on the straps - they don't stay down like the model in the main picture, but I wore one up and one down and I think it was the perfect amount of 90s-throwback sexy.

This dress fit like a glove! This was my first RTR experience. They are awesome and very helpful. I loved this dress. I wore it to a Winter Gala. I thought it might be too long and go past my knees. However, once it came in it was the perfect length. I will definitely be using RTR again!

Great NYE dress, and everyone loved the red.
Size worn: 4
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Party
I ordered a 4 and a 6 just in case. The dress fit perfectly in the size 4. I wore a strapless and backless bra which I recommend since the cutout at the sides shows one that clasps at the back. The dress was good quality material and a perfect length for a night on the town. I wore it for New Years Eve and got a lot of compliments everywhere I went. I paired the dress with 'Dress Me Up Earring' and it looked great. If you have a butt like me, the dress will have a bit of a bunch where the zipper lays but it's not enough to return the dress. I wish I could buy this dress!

I ordered the 0 and the 2 for New Years Eve. I put on the 2 at first but the 0 made me feel so much more comfortable and more of my size. The dress is beautiful and I don't regret getting it but I didn't love it like I did with some other dresses I've rented. You need to take photos looking straight at the camera because the side of the dress is a little awkward (just look at other photos). The red is beautiful and will make you stand out in a sea of black dresses. Great material as well, super comfortable.

At first I wasn't sure about this dress because it's pretty tight and showed my tummy a little bit. I threw on my spanx and felt much more comfortable. I couldn't decided which size to wear because I felt more comfortable in the 12, but the 12 was a little too big in the arms and chest. I ended up wearing the 10 and got a lot of compliments on the dress. The color was fun and stood out. Another successful RTR experience.

COMPLIMENTS ALL NIGHT AT SCHOOL AUCTION!
Size worn: 2
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
This was actually my back-up dress, because it was a formal auction, so I thought I would be wearing a long gown... But as soon as I tried this on, I knew it was the dress for the night. It is completely appropriate, yet hugs your curves for sex appeal. The color popped in a room full of dark colors, and I couldn't go more than a few minutes without receiving compliments. I read the reviews that this would run small, but I felt it was true to size. I wore a slimmer underneath just to emphasize the curves. Overall, the dress rocks, and I would HIGHLY recommend it for others.

Beware of the large arm openings, they revealed a bit of side boob while dancing and the fit is quite tight on the stomach so make sure to wear your spanx! Overall I loved the dress and would recommend it if you're interested in making a statement.

Size worn: 2
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Wedding
I rented the 0 and the 2 as a backup size. After trying on both I decided to go with size 2 because I could move easier and it was not as tight. It is really a gorgeous dress and it is comfy! The off the shoulder wasn't as tight as I would have imagined, it was even a little lose at the end of the night. I did have to use double stick tape to keep it from crawling up towards my neck. My beau's mom loved it so much she signed up with RTR that very night, lucky for her she is as tiny as I am.

I wore this dress for a company holiday dress. It is definitely fitted, but there is a good amount of stretch so it was very comfortable to wear, I definitely recommend some Spanx to help though! Most said they had issues with the strap, but mine actually stayed well the entire evening, and I did A LOT of dancing. I felt stunning, and definitely noticed people turning their heads to check out the dress. Definitely worth the rental, loved it!

This dress made me feel like a bombshell. It hugs every curve and the color really pops.

Still had to do frequent readjustments though

It was the perfect dress for a work holiday party - sexy yet classy. My usual size is a 0 and the 0 fit well. The straps didn't bother me too much like other reviewers mentioned, but my one issue with the dress was that it was a bit bunchy at the bottom and rippled a bit even when I stood up straight and pulled the dress down.

Love this dress! The material is comfortable and stretchy. The off the shoulder straps make the dress sexy but the dress is long enough (even at my height) that it is still conservative. Perfect for a cocktail party or formal function. The only con is that you absolutely need fashion tape if you want the straps to stay folded down.

This dress really turned out amazing!!! It was my first time renting from RTR. I ordered both the 2 and the 4, but went with the 2. It conforms to your body really well, but is surprisingly super comfortable. I didn't have any problems with the straps like I read some other ladies did, but fashion tape is always a good option to keep them in place. I wore this to a black tie event, and the red color was great to stand out in sea of lots of black dresses. The dress arrived right on time and everything with RTR was super easy! I will definitely be renting again :)

This dress was AMAZING. I received nonstop compliments all night.
Size worn: 6
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Formal Affair
I wore this to a casino night gala, and it was the absolute perfect dress for the occasion. Most women wore black or sequin dresses and the red makes you stand out. I'm tall (5'9") so a lot of dresses tend to be short on me, but this dress was the perfect length for a formal event, ending just above the knee. It does ride up so you end up having to pull it down if you get up from sitting, but that wasn't an issue. I did some dancing in it, but it's not a great dress for dancing since it's very tight. I have to add that the neckline is beautiful. In terms of sizing, I am normally between a 4 and a 6, so I ordered both and I ended up wearing the 6. If you have a big chest or a big butt (I am the latter), you end up having to size up. I wore a NuBra, although I could have gone without a bra and worn nipple concealers. I paired the dress with the Diane von Furstenberg leopard clutch from RTR, which I also got tons of compliments on, and nude pumps by Jessica Simpson. Overall, an AMAZING dress!! I'm renting it again for my boyfriend's company holiday party!

This was my first rental. Loved the dress along with my RTR experience (stellar customer service!!). The dress does run small and is VERY fitted. The straps didn't stay put with all my moving around/dancing. If I could do it all again I would have put some fabric tape to use! Overall I was pleased and would order again.
