BEAUTIFUL! COMPLIMENT CITY ALL NIGHT!

Size worn: 6R

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Formal Affair

I got this dress to attend a function with my boyfriend and he told me about this function at the very last minute so getting the right dress was of MAJOR IMPORTANCE. I am pretty petite so the fit was most important to me. I am always concerned about how a dress is going to fall and whether it is going to look right on my small frame. It fit just right and it fell perfectly in the right area. It was a little complicated putting on but I finally figured it out. You need to wear at least a 3-inch heel because the length of the dress is pretty long so you need the height. I would absolutely get this dress again if I had to!

STYLIST REVIEW!

Size worn: 8R

Overall fit: Small

Rented for: Formal Affair

This gown is a great color that will look fantastic on almost any coloring. I really like the sleeve/one shoulder combination as well. I tried on the UK 6 which was too tight right under the waist band. I liked the way the UK 8 fit better on me, more comfortable! This dress is great for any bust size and has a good amount of stretch too it. It's a dress I would recommend Spanx for is someone is body of their stomach area just because of the way it lays. Very comfortable though! Winner!

OK, but not for me...

Size worn: None

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Formal Affair

Gorgeous dress, great color, lovely fabric. Fit just all wrong for me: too long, too much skirt, and bodice too blousy (though possibly I picked the wrong size). Luckily this ended up being a backup dress and I didn't need to wear it!

Awesome color and super comfortable

Size worn: 10R

Overall fit: Small

Rented for: Formal Affair

I had high hopes for this dress, but was kind of disappointed when I put it on. The color was great and the material makes it super comfortable, but it just didn't fit the way I wanted it to. You will need some good spanx or a slip of some sort to smooth out the profile given the way it lays across the hips and stomach. It was also a little long (then again, I'm short) and I would suggest at least a three inch heel for those who lack some height. The dress is a great color and could be more casual/formal depending on how you do your hair and accessories.

Flattering and easy to wear

Size worn: 8L

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Wedding

I loved wearing this dress. Very flattering for an hourglass figure, and enough bodice coverage to wear a convertible bra with straps. I'm 5'7 and wore 5 inch heels with the long fitting and the gown grazed the floor perfectly.

Gorgeous dress, but a broken zipper made it impossible to wear.

Size worn: None

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Wedding

This dress runs true to size. The 6R was the perfect fit and length for me to wear with 3" heels; however, the zipper kept getting stuck where the material is gathered around the waist. The zipper actually broke before my event. I called RTR and they sent me the 8R, which still would have worked size wise, but it was way too long... At least 3 inches too long with heels on. I tried to pin it around the waist, but ended up giving up and wearing my backup dress. If you rent the 6R make sure the zipper has been fixed!

Beautiful color...sizing is weird

Size worn: 12R

Overall fit: Small

Rented for: Wedding

I rented this dress for a black tie wedding and received it on Thursday evening. I usually wear a 4 or 6 so I got a UK 8 and UK 10. When I went to take the dresses out they looked so small. I could barely get the 8 on and the 10 I got on, but it wouldn't zip. I was extremely disappointed, but I could tell that the dress would be really great if it fit so I immediately called RTR. They were extremely helpful and overnighted me the 2 next sizes up of the dress. I got them and am a little perplexed because the next size up, the UK 12 is a bit large and definitely longer. I can pull it off, but definitely wish it were a little more snug. Overall, I think the dress is beautiful but I would say to definitely size up and maybe even have a back up in case it doesn't work. There weren't any reviews on the site when I rented this, so I hope this helps someone. Oh and I am busty, 36D and I was worried that you couldn't wear this with a regular bra, because I hate wearing strapless bras, but you totally can.

Size up. Amazing Color.

Size worn: 8L

Overall fit: Small

Rented for: Wedding

Yes, beautiful color and great draping and if you get this dress early (before a lot of people have had it) it won't be short. As with other ISSA dresses, though, if they've had this for awhile, I'd pay attention to the reviews and see if people start saying that it's running short. This fabric can shrink if it's been cleaned often. Point being, talk to the stylists. Ask them questions about how long this dress has been in stock and, if people are saying its shrinking, go with a longer length. If you're tall, you may need to pass entirely. The sizing on this ISSA is confusing. This dress is in UK sizes and even with the US equivalents, it run small. For example, I usually wear a between a US 2 and 4 and so I ordered the equivalent UK 6 and 8. Both too small. So, I'd say order your size and one up when going with this dress. It is lovely, the color is stunning, but the fabric is just a stretch jersey, nothing exciting.

I WAS SO DISAPPOINTED -- THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN THE PERFECT DRESS BUT RTW SENT ME THE WRONG SIZES.

Size worn: None

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Formal Affair

I was so disappointed. This would have been the perfect dress but RTW sent me my dresses in UK sizes--which was a 2 and 4 rather than a US 6 or 8. I had no idea that I was supposed to convert to British sizes when I was ordering. I almost squeezed into the US size 4... but the US size 6 would have been perfect.
