Loved it! Fit perfectly and was just all in all a show stopper. People loved the dress.

Size worn: 6

Overall fit: Small

Rented for: Party

The 4 fit, but if you're curvy...but I wore the size 6 because my breast felt smashed in the 4. So I'd step up the size one notch if you are at least a C cup.

Gorgeous fabric and perfect length!!

Size worn: 8

Overall fit: Large

Rented for: Formal Affair

Since Issa is a UK brand, I asked a stylist what size I should get since normally the sizing runs really small compared to US sizes. Unfortunately, the UK size 8 I got was enormous and seriously was like a big boxy bubble around me. I had been looking forward to wearing it for my company holiday party but thankfully I ordered a backup dress...I really wish I had gone with a UK size 4, though, because I think it is probably really cute with the proper fit. Other than that, the fabric is really beautiful and this dress is perfect for the holidays...really wish the sizing was more clear on this site, especially since they randomly have a nondescript "size 2" mixed in with the rest.

Stylist Review!

Size worn: 10

Overall fit: Large

Rented for: Other

I received this one size too big but even an 8 might have been too large. Its a very gorgeous pattern and has a lot of layers, so its definitely a Fall/Winter style. Would love to try it on in an 6 and 8 but I felt like a sumo wrestler in a 10!

Great statement dress!

Size worn: 2

Overall fit: True to Size

I wore the 2 which fit because it is a shift. The sleeves were a tad tight so you could size up and be a bit more comfortable. The fabric is beautiful and I got tons of compliments! It's mini (mid-thigh on me and I'm 5'6")

Even more vibrant in person, but runs pretty big!

I usually wear a 2, but the 2 went down to my knees and was more boxy than in the picture. The color is amazing though!

Elegant. Chic.

Loved this dress! As others have noted the sizing is weird and I went down to the 2 equivalent. The fabric is very heavy and beautifully embroidered. I wore it to dinner at a formal French restaurant in New Orleans and I got compliments on it all night. I did wear it with a sports bra underneath, the thickness of the fabric combined with a 34c did no favors. Other than athletic bras, I paired it with a nude pump & lip and a slicked back bun on the top of my head.

Unfortunately, this dress was a disaster

Size worn: None

Overall fit: Large

Rented for: Party

I rented this dress for my birthday party, expecting it to fit as a shift mini dress. I ordered the 2 and the 4, just to be sure one of them would fit, but once they arrived, I knew I made a mistake the second I opened the box. What appears to be a chic and modern print in the photo, turned out to be a thick, heavy metallic mess in person. It was something I would expect to see on an Elizabethan era gown, not a mini dress! When I tried on the four, it was awful. While I am short, it literally went down to my shins. Gross. The two was barely an improvement. I was so disappointed I started crying. I returned the dress that day and I am very hesitant to rent another dress from RTR.

special design but runs way too large

Size worn: 2

Overall fit: Large

Rented for: Party

The dress has a lovely color and special design, which resembles traditional Chinese dress. However, like Chinese dress from the imperial time, it does not have waistline, dangling like a huge box over me. I had to wear a belt. I am 5'3'' and normally wear 00. I ordered a size 2 because that's the smallest available. I don't regret renting it, but think I should have looked for a beautiful belt to go with it too.

Gorgeous fabric, boxy fit

Size worn: 4

Overall fit: Large

Rented for: Wedding

I had to send this one back, unfortunately. The fabric is incomparable, honestly. The pleats make this shift dress very boxy with no slimming cut at all. I wear a 0 and looked very large (pregnant even) in this dress. I may have gotten the wrong size, but the sleeves and the shoulders fit in the 4. I didn't want sausage arms in the 2. It's also very short and rides up easily.

This dress was to big and boxy for a petite person. And the green is much brighter in person. It didn't work for me.

Fab!

I got SO many compliments on this at the wedding. It was cool outside so the sleeves were perfect. It was a conservative cut but the length made it sexy. It's a special dress that stood out just enough! Highly recommend it.
