EVERYONE complimented me on this dress, especially my fiance!

Size worn: 2

Overall fit: Large

I cannot say enough about this dress. It was sexy without being too much and extremely flattering. I like that it was revealing in the back and front, but a longer length. I rented this dress for my birthday and felt absolutely amazing. I highly recommend it. I normally wear a 4 (34-26-35), but the 2 fit better. I am definitely renting Helmut Lang again!

FABULOUS sexy date night dress!

Size worn: 4

Overall fit: Small

Rented for: Date

I'm usually a solid 6 or leaning towards a 4, got to wear a 4 in this dress with no problem. Cannot wear a bra and I definitely needed some of those stick-on "chicken cutlets" to boost the girls up and fill out the top. Other than that, can't remember the last time I felt this sexy, got hit on a ton of times and my fiance enjoyed it too!

Sexy "Bond Girl" dress!

Size worn: 4

Overall fit: Large

Rented for: Vacation

I went with the other dress I rented, so my friend wore this one (on the left). She's normally a 6-8 so this definitely runs large - size down for sure. I wouldn't recommend this for large-busted girls, because when I tried it on, it shows EVERYTHING, it's so low-cut. However, as you can see, on my friend it looked fantastic. The little back straps are unfortunately hard to keep zipped, like some have mentioned. However, the overall Bond Girl sexiness of this dress more than overcomes its little issues!

Sexy but classy for an outdoor summer wedding!

Size worn: 4

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Wedding

I absolutely loved the fit of this dress, and the necklace complemented it perfectly. I received compliments all night :) Undergarments were a challenge, but I found a backless/ strapless that worked perfectly, as I wanted more support than the built in gives. The zippers in back are itty bitty, so this may not be the best option for fuller chested women.

Classy, sexy and dangerous...this is the perfect LBD!!

Size worn: 2

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Party

This dress was perfect! I wish I owned it. I wore it to a New Year's Eve party in Napa, CA and felt amazing. I was worried that a size 2 might be too small considering it's a designer size, but it was perfect. I usually wear size 0 or 2 in J Crew dresses. It was snug in all the right places and the length was perfect on my 5'7'' frame (well, after heels it's 5'9'). I would HIGHLY recommend this dress! I want to rent it again!!

Felt sexy all night!

Size worn: 2

Overall fit: Large

Rented for: Party

I wore this for my bachelorette party, and it was a hit! The best part of this dress is definitely the back-- it gets a lot of stares when you walk into a room (and every girl should know that feeling at least once in their life)! :) I'm normally a size 4, but the 2 fit perfectly and wasn't too short. I wanted it a little tighter since it's backless and I needed everything to be "held in", but the 2 and 4 didn't make that much of a difference. Highly reccommend!!!

Loved this dress! It was my first rental, and I was a bit worried about fit, but it was perfect. I'm not exactly pear-shaped, since I have wide shoulders, but I do have a very flat chest. The dress maximized what I have, and wasn't too tight across the shoulders. It was a bit shorter than I was expecting, but not indecent. I got lots of compliments!

In LOVE with BDay DRESS! Club had the mirror and couldn't resist taking this photo for you gals!

Size worn: 4

Overall fit: Large

Rented for: Party

I was right in between a 2 and a 4. You can see in one pic a little extra fabric. The 2 was too tight around my arms so i went with the 4. Its shorter than on the model which I liked from the other gals who have rented this dress. I would rent this one again! I felt great and comfortable (didn't spend all night adjusting) and got so many compliments!

Classic LBD turned up a notch

Size worn: 4

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Formal Affair

This is by far my favorite dress that I've rented on RTR. I rented this for my sorority's winter formal and got compliments all night! The material is super soft and hugged my body in all the right places. It is such a beautiful LBD with an amazing neckline and back as well! (I recommend the sticky boobs, because you definitely can't wear a normal bra with this one)

Well tailored and great detail, exactly what you want from a LBD. The fit was perfect and looked amazing. I received multiple compliments walking down the street on a perfect NYC night. There was one issue - the top zipper would not stay up no matter how many adjustments I made. It originally stayed up, but by the end of the night it would not stay. I did contact RTR about this issue and they were very responsive and helpful.

Size worn: 4

Overall fit: Large

Rented for: Wedding

As a whole, I loved this dress. My only complaint was that I had was constantly trying to get the tiny zippers to stay up. Only once did one come entirely undone, but it prevented me from confidently wearing it without my wrap for most of the evening. However, I did feel sexy and beautiful in it. It could have just used a little hook to keep them closed, that's all. And I would have worn it many times.

Size worn: 8

Overall fit: Large

Rented for: Date

This is a very sexy and incredibly comfortable dress! It technically runs true to size, but I felt that a size smaller would hold everything in place/pushed up better. It stretched in a flattering way over my curvy figure, but my DD's could have used more support! I felt sexy in it, but some pictures make my chest look too heavy (almost droopy) unless I had EXCELLENT posture! Hubby loved it, so I have no complaints.

I wore this to a fraternity date party at my school, and absolutely loved it. It was dressy enough for a date party without the material being too formal that I looked over-the-top. The back was not quite as plunging on my as the model in the photo, but it was definitely sexy and all. I got tons of compliments. I didn't have to wear a bra-- I'm like a B cup-- but I ended up tossing in some nuBra cups to plump up the girls, which made it look awesome. It was my first time renting and I really loved it!

I absolutely loved this dress, and received so many compliments on it. I normally go up a size in fitted dresses because I have bigger hips, but the 4 fit perfectly. My only issue was the top zipper, anytime I moved the zipper came down but we luckily had double sided tape to hold it up.

This dress was a total win for an black tie gala I attended. The back was a bit more revealing than I realized, and I got a little nervous that I was with executives. However the dress is sophisticated and I think it worked over all. Great stretch in the hips for us curvy girls. WARNING, you will want to turn around for every photo to show off the sexy back

Love this dress. It is a the perfect LBD with a twist. Looks fabulous from the back. Only problem was that the little zipper on the top strap in the back came open a little, but was never in dander of opening all the way. A little fabric tape helped.

I absolutely loved this dress. It's really stretchy, making it form-fitting. The fabric is thick enough to forgive on panty lines, etc. too though which is great. Didn't need to wear a bra and the cleavage still looked great! ;) I wore this on our black dresses night out and we all got into a club with free VIP service. Enough said. The open back is super sexy!!

A different twist to the LBD, business in the front-party in the back! The only snag I hit was having to wear my backup size, because RTR notified me a week prior to my event that they didn't have the size I normally wear. Other than that, great rental!

The only thing that is hard about this dress is that it is impossible to wear a bra, so I got the nubra to help with that, but that didn't really do me any justice. If you are comfortable showing a lot of skin, then you will love this dress.

Size worn: 6

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Formal Affair

The dress was awesome for a small busted girl like me. Ran very true to size and really showed off my back. I wore it with purple statement shoes and no heavy jewelry because the neckline is interesting enough on its own. Definitely a fun twist on the LBD while still being appropriate for a sorority formal.

This was perfect for a night out on the town on New Year's Eve.

Size worn: 4

Overall fit: Large

Rented for: Party

When I asked a stylist about the dress they mentioned that it ran a bit large so I decided to order a size down, definitely the right decision. I have an athletic, curvy body type and wanted a fitted dress. The stretch really helped it to fit nice. I couldn't wear a regular bra but bought a stick-on type and it worked great. Overall a good pick for my party.

I had heard this ran small, so I ordered a 4 with backup size of 6. I wish I had gone with the 2, as it was a little loose. But overall it was great. I pinned the back in case the zipper came undone. Very attractive on.

Very sultry. There were a few problems with this dress. The hem at the bottom had come apart. I used some fashion tape to secure it and it worked well. The waist was a bit too big, probably from being stretched out from previous rentals. The metal on the zippers was obviously worn. I also added some gel inserts to perk the ladies up a bit. Overall, it was hot but as someone else said, RTR really needs to look over the rentals in detail.

Form-fitting dress is super sexy.

Size worn: 0

Overall fit: Large

Rented for: Party

I originally ordered a 2 and a 4. But since my body type is ruler straight (33-26-34), I was worried that I might be swimming in this dress. Luckily the RTR customer service folks (they are awesome!) were incredibly helpful and changed my order to a 0 and a 2!! I ended up wearing the 0--it was form-fitting! But had the 0 been even a smidge bigger it would have been too big. I'm very small-busted, so though it looked good on me, I think it would be hotter on someone with a bit more on top. The fitted form, the silky detail on the bust, and the sporty straps on the back make this a very sexy dress... perfect for my New Year's Eve party in Vegas.

I thought this dress was a cute LBD but it honestly wasn't anything special. Its a very pretty dress but I wouldn't rent it again. It looked fine and it fit true to size (I am petite, athletic, b cup, usually a 0-2) but I didn't LOVE it. I didn't end up wearing it. That being said it definitely fulfills the need for a little black dress. Hope that helps!

Pretty dress but not for me

Size worn: 2

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Wedding

The dress is very fitting and flattering from the front. I ended up not feeling comfortable in the dress. The back was very open and I didn't feel like I had a toned enough back for it. I also am busty and felt like I was always one dance move away from falling out of the top. If you are big on top and have body issues don't rent the dress, it will increase your insecurities. There are so many other options, I wish I stuck with my usual style.

I wore this dress to a charity black tie event and felt like i was the "belle of the ball." I received compliments from men and women on how sexy the dress was. The back is really stunning. Make sure you have a friend, significant other, etc around to help you get into the dress though! The back zippers are a little tricky (either that or I'm not very coordinated)! Enjoy!

Size worn: None

I rented the 0 and the 2 sizes. If there was a "1" it probably would have fit! I have small shoulders and the 2 was falling off and a little baggy. The zero was too tight in the waste but perfect on the shoulders....also, it would've been tough to find a bra to fit with the unique cut in front. However, without something to push you up the dress made you look pretty flat chested.

Perfect for a 34B without being "too much". Might be a bit low cut for bigger than a C cup. Wore it out to a nightclub in NYC. Front is pretty, but the back is the sexy part.
