Loved this dress! And so did everyone at my prom! I got compliments all night!
Size worn: 4L
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
The fit is very snug, particularly at the lower belly-- beware of this! Also I had to buy a Nubra (adhesive backless bra), but I'm glad I made that investment. The dress runs verrry long, and I had to buy 5-inch platforms to keep from stepping on the hem! I'd beware of jewlery or anything getting snagged on the dress-- It's not crazy delicate, but it is still a lacey-ish fabric! Don't let any of this deter you! It was all worth it!

Beautiful, classic dress
Size worn: 4R
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Formal Affair
Let me start off by saying that the dress is gorgeous and looks especially good in pictures! Some slight issues that I noticed though: 1. It is definitely shorter than a full-length dress should be. I'm 5'5" and wore 1.5 inch heels and it was barely touching my ankles. 2. Like someone pointed out before, it's not actually all gold. The lace is black underneath, which makes it look better in pictures than in reality. 3. On the right side, where the zipper zips up, the dress bunches up.

I felt a million dollars on my wedding day ...
Size worn: 2R
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Wedding
This dress is TINY - on the day weighed about 107lb, I knew from previous reviews that the dress ran small but the 2 regular has a waist band of 23-24 inches. So be warned. Having said that, it was just perfect for my NY City Hall wedding, I have never felt so beautiful.

Beautiful, elegant dress.
Size worn: 4L
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Formal Affair
This dress has NO stretch at all. I usually wear size 2 and sometimes size 0. I rented a size 2L and 4L. They both fit, but I ended up wearing the 4L, to make room for a drink :) I'm between 5'6 -5'7 tall and went with the longer version of the dress. The longer is great if you're my hight and plan on wearing very high heels. It will still almost touch the floor. The dress seems to be more gold in the RTR photo. Actually it has thin black lace with golden details, so it's not that gold.

This dress is amazing!
Size worn: 8L
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
I wore this dress to a formal cocktail party and absolutely loved it. I ordered an 8 and the 10 long and ended u wearing the 8. I was worried about the sleeves having no stretch (based on reviews), but once you pull them all the way up, they are fine. I think the dress should fit snugly and that is why I wore the 8. It was actually really comfortable and I didn't have to fuss with anything all night.

Wore this Issa gown to a very elegant wedding in Miami and everyone had amazing things to say! Definitely an eye catcher, felt like a princess. Very form fitting so careful w sizing. The long is too long, I would go w he regular length and some strappy gold heels. Overall a hit!

Really gorgeous dress used for a ballroom masquerade ball-- I got lots of complements!
Size worn: 8R
Overall fit: True to Size

YOU NEED A BACKLESS NUDE LEOTARD/ GREAT STICK-ON BRA. I had to make a black backless leotard do at the last minute. The chest area was a bit too large, but the rest fit. I wore my usual size of 8. The arms were pretty tight.

did not wear it (runs small)
Size worn: None
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Formal Affair
I didn't end up wearing this dress because the 8L had a last minute problem (based on reviews I sized up). Along with the replacement dress they did send me a 6R, which was too small. Admittedly, I did not make that much of an effort because I liked the replacement dress more than this one. The thing that was much too tight and too much of a struggle was the sleeves. I could have squeezed into it if I wanted but I didn't want to. THE PATTERN IS NOT NEARLY AS PRETTY AS THE PICTURE!!!! Also if you are 5'7" the regular length is much too short.

GORGEOUS Dress!!!
Size worn: 8L
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Formal Affair
Stunning dress! I generally wear a 4/6 dress but due to the comments I ordered a 6L and 8L. I tried the 8L on and it fit perfectly, although VERY long. Note: I have never worn an 8 in pants, shirts or dresses, so this dress ran very small in my opinion. I am 5'7 and had to wear 5" heels to make it work. Multiple people over the evening told me I was the best dressed. Felt great! Will definetly use RTR again soon!

This dress is an absolute KNOCK-out. So unique and sparkly and perfect for a black tie wedding.
Size worn: 6L
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
It fit true to size and was both classy and sexy with the open back. Definitely get long if you are 5'8'' or taller. I am 5'9'' and the long size was perfect with heels. Buy whatever size hits your mid-waste best. You NEED to buy a nubra with this dress or no bra at all - just FYI!

Disappointed! Size was too small so I did not wear. Gown also had a small tear near shoulder.
Size worn: None

The 4L was too small, but I had tried on the 6L in showroom which was very flattering and elongating for my narrow body type. Dress runs very small/fitted in the arms/sleeve (I have small arms). The gown had a small but noticeable tear, so even if it had fit, I would not feel comfortable wearing it. Dress is absolutely stunning though and looks amazing in right size.

Gorgeous dress! Unfortunately I ended up returning it because it was just a tad too tight around my ribs, rather than risk a disastrous rip, I opted for my back-up dress.

This dress definitely runs small. I would order a size or two up to make sure it fits. Also it is cut very narrow in the arms.

lovely style, yet runs small
Size worn: 4R
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Wedding
elegant style, loved the open back and the lining is fantastic. yet the fabric has a copper edging you cant see in the pics and it takes away from the design. it also runs small. size 4 did not zip past my waist and arms were very snug. recommendyou go up a size. in comparison also rented Halston Vintage and ended up wearing that in a size 2.
