Overall fit: Small

Rented for: Party

The other renters were very helpful for me in renting this dress they are correct it does run small and the shoulder needed to be pinned. It was a stunning dress and I did try to buy it but the told me No!! maybe RTR will do that in the future. I am renting it again for another occasion.

This ran very small in the top part so size up for back up! The material is pretty stretchy and soft so it's comfortable. Very cute for a cocktail party or semi-formal event!

Dress fit like a glove - perfect for a summer Napa wedding!

Size worn: 6

Overall fit: Small

Rented for: Wedding

It's MUCH more vibrant that the RTR photos depict. The color is gorgeous. Also, it runs pretty small - the 6 was tiny. It took my bff and mom working together to get it zipped! Once it was on, however, it was fantastic. Fit well, hid all the bad places and emphasized all the good ones. There's also hidden boning in the top, so no need to wear a bra (I wouldn't have been able to make it fit anyway). The dress was a such a hit that the two lovely ladies in the photo came up to me to ask if I was single and if I'd like to meet their (grand) son. :) BTW - the blue dress is also Issa. Gorgeous colors and fit.

Loved this dress! So flattering!

Size worn: 4

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Wedding

I wasn't sure about the sizing, I'm usually between a 4-6. I ended up going with the 4 because the strap on the 6 kept falling. The 4 fit perfectly and I loved how it flattered my curves. I was worried about underwear lines because of the clingy fit, I'm sure some sort of shape wear would fix this. I must note, the color is not red like the description says, it's a bright pink. I definitely recommend this dress, and I must mention that RTR customer service is absolutely amazing.

Spanish flare!

Size worn: 4

Overall fit: Small

Rented for: Wedding

I wore this dress for a spanish flare summer wedding! The material was nice and cool for the event (we're talking upper 80's temperature wise) and the single shoulder strap + boning in the bodice was nice because I didn't have to adjust or "hike" up the dress once. The material has stretch to it so it hugged my body well and also made it comfortable for sitting and dancing. Overall I loved this dress and it was a nice festive color and cute for the wedding event. I paired it with a black blazer for the ceremony (which was in a church) but took it off for the reception.

I received so many compliments on the dress from both men and women - the way it drapes really makes it unique and classy. Would definitely rent again!

Size worn: 8

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Wedding

Loved this dress - was a gorgeous watermelon color and looked great against a tan. Paired it with gold shoes/clutch and was extremely comfortable to dance in all night. I typically wear a US 4/6 and wore the British equivalent of the 4 in this, as the 6 was a bit too loose in the shoulder strap. No need for a bra, but would recommend wearing some sort of spanx underneath, as the jersey material is a little thin. I'd highly recommend it!

"Wow, that dress is so beautiful!!!"

Size worn: 6

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Wedding

I wore this dress for my sorority sister's wedding and it was perfect! It was comfortable and fit well (with a solid pair of spanks underneath). I did encounter the bumpy zipper, but nobody even noticed. The style was appropriate for the event and looked great all night. My body shape is a pear and the skirt, while allowing room for hips, does emphasize them. So not a great pick if you want to minimize those, but if you love your curves, it's perfect!

I felt great all night long. I also had a great experience with RTR customer service--they were very helpful. Thanks!

Size worn: 8

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Wedding

This dress was great. The color is gorgeous and clings in all of the right places. I rented two dresses for the wedding but only one size in this dress. I typically wear a 6 or and 8 in dresses depending on the style so I rented the 8 to be on the safe side. The 8 was a little big on me but still worked great. I got a ton of compliments and felt great! I did have a slight bubble in the zipper like some of the other girls but it wasn't a huge deal. Thanks RTR!

it was easy and a great dress!

Size worn: 10

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Wedding

It was a great dress and everyone seemed to like it as well. The color was a bright pink not a red like the description said. The only issue I had is if you are bigger in the bust be aware that you won't be able to wear a bra and it may be tough to fit into. It ended up being ok for me (size D) but it was definitely tight in that area.

I originally rented a dress that was a little too short when I received it and tried it on. I contacted RTR's customer service and they overnighted me a different dress, no questions asked. The dress ended up being almost perfect. A+ customer service from RTR!

Size worn: 12

Overall fit: Small

Rented for: Wedding

I wore this dress to a wedding and it was perfect and so comfortable. I usually wear a 10 or 12 so I ordered both sizes. The 10 was way too tight and the 12 was a little big (not sure if this was because of the British sizing), but I used the fabric tape RTR sent with the dress and it worked out perfectly. I'm contemplating renting it again for another wedding I have this month!

Feeling festive for my friends cinco de mayo wedding!

Size worn: 8

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Wedding

I love this dress. But it is NOT red (or pommegranate), like the description says, I would say it is more of a watermelon color. I ordered a UK size 8 and 10. The 8 fit perfect especially around my hips (40"), but was a bit loose on the side shoulder strap. The only issues I had was that the back zipper does not lay flat and bunched, and I had to steam it after I got it out of the bag. I paired it with the DVF zebra clutch and nude heels and loved the look!

Size worn: 6

Runs small. I usually wear a size 2 and rented the 6. Very flattering and glamorous. Wore with soft gold heels and clutch, and understated diamond stud earrings for my event. Best for cup sizes of small C or smaller. Good length for all heights. I am petite and it was slightly long on the torso, but nothing noticeable.

I will say go up at least one size, if not two. I could size the smaller size, but it didn't look as good, drape as nicely as the one two sizes up. I wanted to wear this dress, but my husband was in the wedding and already gone taking pictures and I couldn't get the back zipped by myself. Good thing my back up dress had a side zip! LOL!

Runs SO SMALL.

Size worn: 6

Overall fit: Small

Rented for: Formal Affair

I rented a 4 and 6, typically fit into a 4. The 6 was pint sized and there was no chance it was going to fit. The material doesn't have much stretch and there is a little bit of boning in it. Thankfully I rented another dress in two other sizes and one of them worked.

Bunching zipper made this unwearable

Size worn: 12

Overall fit: Small

Rented for: Other

I ended up not wearing this dress because the back zipper bunched up too much. I love the style of the dress and the fact that I did not have to wear a bra but I wasn't impressed with the quality. In other reviews, I also saw that Rent the Runway sent tape with this dress but they did not send any with my rental so I was disappointed with that as well.

Zipper is awful

Size worn: None

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Wedding

While this dress looks amazing on the model, it is very less than flattering in person due to the zipper on the back of the dress. It puckered SO badly that it looked like I had a tail. I ordered the size 4 and the 6, and both zippers were so awful that I was too embarrassed to wear it to the wedding I rented it for. Big disappointment from RTR.

Two stars for style only

Size worn: 8

Overall fit: Small

Rented for: Wedding

Cheap fabric ruins what could be a show stopper. Great color and style but the fit was terrible for a pear shape. Girls with booty stay away. If you have a large bust and small behind this dress could work really well for you. I tried on spanx underneath and you could see the seams. If they redesigned this dress with a high-end and more forgiving fabric it could be great

Size worn: None

Overall fit: True to Size

I tried this on and decided not to wear it because the zipper stuck out in the back and made me look like I had a tail. My 5-year-old niece said "that dress is inappropriate." I would say mine just had a flaw but I ordered 2 sizes and the same thing happened with both. Anyway, it's too bad because I think it's a gorgeous dress!

Pretty color but disappointing

Size worn: None

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Formal Affair

I was disappointed in this dress--but thankfully it was my backup dress! I really wanted to like it...it is SUCH a pretty pink, and the gathering in the front is really pretty too. Something about it just didn't work for me...it didn't quite hang right, and the chest just didn't fit right at all. It could be that it's just not good for my body type, but I wanted to share my experience anyways. I did find that it ran true to size. I rented both the UK 8/US 4 and the UK 10/US 6. The one that fit me better was the UK 8/ US 4, which is usually my size, and it mostly fit except for in the chest. It just may not be made for a fuller bust. I do think it would be really pretty on girls that are curvier overall though. Anyways, even though I didn't end up wearing it, hope this is helpful!

Zipper is a problem

Size worn: 6

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Wedding

I rented this for a wedding this summer, and had to send it back - the zipper just would not lay flat in the back, so it poked downward and created a bubble in the back. It was particularly noticeable from any side angles because the zipper stuck out from my body. Such a bummer, because the color is beautful and the fit was wonderful everywhere else. Issa's fabric and cuts tend to be fairly clingly and not very giving, so I would not recommend this dress for anyone who is heavier on the bottom.

Issa dress

Size worn: 10

Overall fit: Small

Rented for: Wedding

I rented this dress as a back up dress and didn't use it. But it fit well, very comfortable, the draping is forgiving for front area, but if you're concerned about what you look like from behind, make sure you wear spanks. The material is very thin. I thought it would feel a more luxurious and soft, but it felt similar to a polyester blend. The color isn't exactly red it's more of a magenta-ish/watermelon color. The only issue I had with this dress was the bunching at the zipper. I tried steaming it on low heat just like what was suggested on another response to a review, but that didn't seem to work either.

This dress would have been perfect for an evening wedding. I ordered the US 4 and US 6, and was so sad that neither fit!!!! The US 6 zipped up (barely), but the material around the bottom of the zipper bubbled and puckered, and the lower half of the dress is so thin that you can see everything. I'm disappointed to not be able to wear it.

Size worn: 8

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Wedding

I loved this dress and so wanted to wear it to a wedding. I put it on and the color and draping in the front looked beautiful! But then I turned around and the zipper puckered in the back. Instead of lying flat (as shown in the photo) the back wrinkled and puckered and just did not look right. I tried on my backup size and it did the same thing. I steamed it, wore spanx, and did anything I could think of to fix it but to no avail. Sadly I did not wear it for that reason.

Beautiful.

Size worn: 8

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Wedding

This dress is gorgeous. I usually wear a size 4, but ordered the 8, which doesn't mean it runs small but it runs accurately in the conversion between European and American sizing. The draping is flattering and the fabric is soft and comfortable. I felt beautiful in the dress and I think that's the mark of something good. Another reviewer said that the dress isn't good for larger cup sizes but I slightly disagree as I am a D and the dress was fine even without a bra (although I think larger than that and it might get too tight). Lastly, the dress is listed as "red" but it's more a vibrant pink (which is what I was hoping for and part of why I loved it). I got compliments from strangers in the elevator and my boyfriend loved it. I recommend this dress--you'll feel elegant, classy and gorgeous.
