I met Stephen Sondheim for the first time in this dress and he said I sparkled!

Size worn: 2

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Formal Affair

I wore this to a black-tie gala in NYC and received many compliments. It was quite short (esp. when sitting down). The cut is very low, but I'm small up top so it fit fine. I wore my hair up to avoid having it tangled in the sequins. It was very comfortable. I wore it with nude stockings since it was so cold out, and I didn't love that. This is better worn without stockings, so preferably in a warmer climate. Would be fun for any party where sparkle is required!

I felt like a gem all night long and received numerous compliments! I could have gone a size down but it was a little too short when I sat down so I was nervous about that. The bra situation is a little weird so make sure you have enough time to sort that out before walking out the door. Overall the dress was super comfortable and arrived perfectly on time and in great condition. Sad to send it back!

I wasn't very comfortable with the low neckline (even with lots of fashion tape, I'm a 34A), but someone with a larger chest would probably find this dress more flattering.

Very fun dress! I wore it for my bachlorette party. It is VERY low cut. I had read this in other reviews, but was still a bit shocked when I tried it on! Easily fixed with a safety pin, however :) Also, it is very short. Overall, very fun dress for a party night!

Got lots of compliments on this dress, but it's pretty low cut. You'll definitely need the fashion tape they send along. I'm a little conservative, so I was a little uncomfortable. But the dress itself is super cute!

This dress was gorgeous and even better in pictures! So glad I was provided with two sizes its definitely low cut in the top, I ended up wearing the size 6 although it was a little shorter than I liked. The size 8 was too lose in the top. It fit perfect the skirt was pretty snug but it wasn't so tight that I was uncomfortable. The sequins did hurt my arms after awhile but it was so worth it! I got compliments all night. So sad I had to send it back! I will definitely be back to RTR for our next wedding!

Size worn: 6

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Party

I rented this dress for a New Years Eve party in New York City. I ordered both the 6 and the 8 and went with the smaller size. As you can see from my photo, the dress is very low cut so I had to wear a lace bandeau bra under it. No one could tell that it was separate, but I am not sure how you could wear a regular bra with this dress. I received this dress without the belt, which didn't really bother me. I think it would have looked good with the belt, but it worked without too. Another reviewer had mentioned that this dress is hard for hourglass/pear shapes and I would agree. The ruffles on the bottom don't do you any favors, but it was still doable. The dress looks great in person and in photos, and I did get a few compliments during the night.

Fit was amazing. Dress was rather short, so I paired it with barely black, sheer tights. There was a lot of dancing that evening and the sequence top started to irritate the inside of my upper arms later that night.

I am 4'11, 125 lbs and this dress fit very good length/body wise. The only thing I hated was the belt. If I would have had a better one myself that didn't droop I would have switched it out. It also adds a little bit of size to the bottom half of you. It was a nice dress though and was very comfortable.

I was a little apprehensive when I first tried on the garment because the deep v in the front was a bit more revealing than I tend to go, however with the hollywood tape that came with it, the dress stayed in place all night and I had no mishaps. Other than that it was a show stopper, I don't think I've ever received so many compliments.

It's such a fun and flirty dress that it makes the girl wearing it have more fun than normal.

Size worn: 4

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Party

I wore this dress for a fraternity formal party called "Wine and Cheese". Even at the pregame for the event, girls were complementing me nonstop. They were both in love with the dress and surprised that I would wear something so sparkly, which I don't normally do. The sparkly nature of the dress make it much more fun, and therefore made me have way more fun, dance more, and act more playful in this dress. It fit either just right or even a little bit big. I ordered a 4 and that's what I wore, but instead of ordering a 6 as a back-up, I should have ordered a 2. Also, this dress is not for girls that don't want their cleavage everywhere--I am a 32DD and felt like I was about to burst. So I had to act a little more cautious and use a little boob tape here and there, but when I did that, the problem was solved. It might work better if you're smaller than a DD. Either way, I recommend this dress. It's beautiful, comfortable, fun, and very sexy.

The dress fit perfectly. I tried the size 0 and it was fitted. I was worried about cleavage but it worked out fine. It's a bit short, I am 5'4 and look where it is on my legs (see pics) so if you are very tall...it may not be the right dress for you. I looks very expensive! and I got compliments from people. I don't know what I would have done without RTR!

I ordered this dress for a military cocktail party in Las Vegas--the sequins were perfect and the dress was fun and sexy! I ordered a 4 and a 6 but went with the 6 because it was a little longer. No issues with sequins and I was surprised that both dresses they sent looked BRAND NEW! The whole experience was amazing and I will NEVER purchase a formal dress again! Thank you so much RTR-- I WILL BE BACK!

Perfect Glam Party Dress

Size worn: 4

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Party

I rented this dress for my 'Roaring 20's' themed birthday party and it was perfect! The dress photographs silvery on top, but the sequins are a coppery color. The fit was great! You will definately need to utilize double-stick tape in the cleavage area, and the fabric on the bottom gives so it's not super tight. The sequins do tend to irritate the skin under your arms but it wasn't unbearable.I got so many compliments on this dress and it was a huge hit! I absolutely reccommend this dress for a night out!

I normally wear an 8 especially in the bust and this one ran big, even the 6 was still kinda big on top. I had to use a good amount of Hollywood tape. But that said this dress is a show stopper. I wore it for our first date as Mr and Mrs out in Chicago. I had 2 women at Pops and 2 more at Processco stop me with compliments. I can't wait to have an event where I can wear this dress again!

Size worn: 10

Overall fit: True to Size

The color was different in person than in the model photo. The skirt is more brown than nude and the top is more of a blush/rose gold, however in pictures, it looks the same. I wore it with champagne color shoes. The top is very low cut. I am a D cup, and definitely need towear a bra. I just pinned it with a safety pin. if you have a smaller chest I think this dress would look fabulous with no bra & some fashion tape. the ruffles are very figure flattering. I was bloated that day but you couldn't tell. I wish I could rent this dress again!! I received lots of compliments all night and off the pictures I posted.

Gorgeous dress in person, got a million compliments. If you have a larger top make sure to give your self some time to get adjusted in it.... find a bra that works! I had only 20 mins to get ready and definately struggled with keeping my girls covered! THe size four worked well and hid everything but was tight...and i dance :) so i went with the 6 that draped my body instead of "sucking" it in.

stunning, better for large chest

Size worn: 8

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Party

i wrote my body type as full bust to drive that home, but i have just as much booty and i must say that this dress is beautiful...if you can fill it out! I honestly don't know what the outcome would have been if I didn't have a DD cup size...because even then, it had a some excess fabric in the back. also, the bottom half of the dress started much higher on me...so it looked almost empire waist...but this is probably because it wasn't lying flat, because of said chest size. Also, the sash is not very flexible/rather hard to tie a pretty bow, so i just wore a square knot. All in all, I got a lot of "PHENOMENAL" compliments...it's a beautiful, show stopping dress...just don't be afraid to show a little cleavage!

very pretty dress I love the color and design, you can trust about the picture cause looks exactly. the shape is a little awkard, cause the top is a little biger however the skirt runs a little small . I think this design is perfect for atletic and hourglas body shape also petites curvy ladies will love this one. I think the design and color make this dress one of my favorite rents, unique.

Everyone raved about the dress all night. Fit great, only issue was that the sequins got a bit scratchy under the shoulders and my hair kept getting stuck to the sequins so my hairdo had to be taken out before the end of the night. But, looked great and definitely caught the attention of my BF. Loved it.

Really satisfied with RTR efficiency. first time renter and i'm madly in love already. I guess is the Latino passion that leaded me to try it (w/o even having a back up dress) i trusted with eyes closed and enormously happy i wasnt left down. This was a beautiful dress, lots of compliments, must admit most from young crowd. The elders were a little worrried about the cleavage. LOL. but everything was kept in place. ;) thank you, thank you,thank you. :))))

This was a great dress and I got so many compliments on it! The dress was in great condition and shipped wrinkle free. Definitely wear this dress on a skinny day, though, it cuts you short a little bit and can make you look short waisted and somewhat "frumpy" on the wrong body type. It's very low-cut, so it's great for someone flat chested like me, but would be a little revealing on someone larger chested. Overall I loved the dress and was extremely satisfied with my RTR experience.

I wore this dress to my 30th birthday party dinner party and it was SPECTACULAR. I received so many compliments on how the sequins were just right, the ruffles were adorable and yet it was tell sexy and tasteful for the family (if you're busty you shouldn't wear it unless you want to look "that way"). The bow was a little hard to tie correctly (since it's a separate sash) but in the end it looked great. I paired it with some gold heels. The dress is a nice nude blush tone (more than gold).
