This was my first RTR rental and it was beautiful online and in person. i was so disappointed that the was absolutely NO GIVE to the material. In hindsight, i should have paid close attention to the reviews. I have since ordered 3 other dresses and been very pleased as I now pay close attention to the reviews. This would be great for a person who doesn't have an ample "booty" :-)

I am a teacher & wanted to wear this to Prom, but neither dress fit! Thankfully I brought an extra!
Size worn: None
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Formal Affair
I normally wear a size 2 or a 4, so those were the two sizes I ordered. Neither one fit at all! I was able to get the 4 on and zipped, but it was so tight in the hips that I would not have been able to sit. So basically if you do not have hips (which I do) and your bust is at least a B or a C cup, then this dress will probably work for you. Just note that the fabric does not stretch at all. It was beautiful on the hanger, but unfortunately did not work with my body at all. What a bummer!

This dress is the perfect shade of yellow and the gold sparkle puts it over the top. It fit slightly small, so I was happy that I ordered one size up. Very comfortable too- overall a big hit!

I loved this dress, however, I could not even fit into it :( I usually wear an 8L but I couldn't even get this dress over my hips. I could squeeze into the size 10 but it was far too tight and not flattering for my body type. I was very bummed because it is so cute.

Size worn: 8
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Wedding
I didn't actually wear this dress since I ordered two dresses. However, I ordered this originally in a 4 and a 6 and the zipper didn't work and it was wayyyyyy too small. RTR was great about overnighting a new dress and I ended up asking for the 8 since the 6 fit but was really snug. I plan to rent this dress again since I didn't get to wear it. It's really pretty but make sure to order up in size. I should have read the reviews better.

This dress was gorgeous! I got TONS of compliments on the color- it's a little bit brighter than the picture shows. The top was a little bit big in the bust area (I'm a 32B) so I had to wear a strapless bra with a LOT of padding, but besides that, I would say the dress fit true to size. I would definitely recommend it!

Very flattering fit! The 6 (my usual size) was just a little too snug in the stomach area to be comfortable, so I went with the 8. This dress had enough room in the bust in both sizes. Definitely recommend this dress- overall, the fit and color are fab!

Cute dress, I rented it for an outdoor beach wedding. Fits great, a little tight in the bust (and I'm a small "B"), but the belt that came with the dress was about a 1/2" thick ribbon, not the thick sash-type belt in the photos. Also, the dress smelled of b.o. - and went right back to RTR.

Size worn: 6
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Party
Not for the busty or the pale. The dress was very tight through the chest (given I wear a 30 D, which isn't even a size option on this website...). The dress also has a strange greenish-tint, so that it's more a pale yellow-green in person than the cheerful canary yellow in the photos. Still think it's pretty, but not for this curvy, pale woman.

Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
I rented this dress in a 4 & got a 6 as my backup after reading all of the reviews. The 4 fit great but had a small defect - the sequins attachment was sewn on. It seemed to have been ripped off, so after calling RTR a few times trying to let someone know right away, I finally got through & the person I spoke with was very helpful & said that she would overnight two size 4s just to be sure. I told her I needed the dress by noon CST & it got here at 8 AM!!! Talk about GREAT service! The dress was AMAZING!! Fit great & I got so many looks & compliments with it BUT....toward the end of the night I was talking to some friends & a very drunk wedding guest came up & spilled red wine ALL over the dress! I panicked. Luckily the wedding planner came to the rescue with a bottle of seltzer & we tried our hardest to remove the stains. I called RTR first thing the next morning to let them know my dilemma & again, the person I spoke with was extrememly helpful & said they deal with a lot of stains & that it shouldn't be a problem getting it out but that someone would contact me once they receive it to let me know my next steps. Luckily, when i went to ship the dress back you could barely see the red wine. I guess club soda really works! I love RTR & will be back again & again, & again...

Great dress....particularly for those of us who are short and small chested :) A lot of fun to wear. The comments about wrinkles are true - it needed to be ironed before wearing it out, and it did wrinkle a bit throughout the evening.

I normally wear a 6 or 8, and ordered this in both sizes. I could not even begin to zip the 6 and the 8 was so tight I could not function properly or even sit down in it. I was very uncomfortable and ended up wearing something I already had. I wish the sizing chart for each designer was posted.

I adored this dress. I'm typically a 4, but ordered a 6 as a backup size to be safe. I ended up wearing the 6 because the 4 was a little snug around my hips and I knew I'd be dancing! The 6 looked and felt great. Would definitely recommend this dress. Everyone complimented me- its fun, yet conservative.

I am 5'3" and am about 140 lbs and never in my life have I ever been anything larger than a size 8, but the size 10 hardly fit. Needless to say, I did not wear it and had to return it and go shopping right away for another dress for the wedding. Seriously, take your measurements before you order this dress and see what size you would be in this dress, because I am usually a 6/7 in dresses but not this dress.

Stunning...but runs small
Size worn: None

This dress is stunning and is a great summer look. I was unable to wear it because I had to go up a size to accommodate the narrow hips/no stretch through the hips, which made the top too big and the midsection had too much material and looked pouchy.

I was so unhappy when I got this. First off, it looked quite worn, and secondly, it was SO tight in the hips. if you are a curvy girl...FORGET IT. If not, I am sure it will be stunning on you as it is quite pretty. Also, just FYI - the color isn't as bright yellow as it looks here, it's sort of a green-ish yellow.

The dress was a show stopper, it did run small so I suggest sizing up. It was flattering on my petite body and the ruffles w sequins on the side made the dress light up. I adore it and would probably rent it again for another event.

Stunning Dress, Runs Extra Sma
Size worn: None
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Wedding
This dress is a knockout, perfect at any summer event. I was unable to wear it as I ordered incorrectly. I wear an 8 and ordered that and the back-up 10, and it was still too tight. I was able to get it zipped etc, but there was that unflattering bit of extra pull in the hips, not to mention it was very tight when sitting, so I opted for my back-up. If you ever waffle between two sizes, I would absolutely rent your larger size, and then size up for your back-up.

Beautiful Dress
Size worn: 8
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Wedding
First let me start off by saying that this dress is so so cute and that the RTR customer service team is AMAZING! The color is so flattering and it looks so pretty on. IF you have curves (bigger hips or booty) I would definately say that this dress tricky. I generally wear a size 4 but after reading that this dress fits tight in the hips, decided to order a 6 & 8. Boy was I glad I did because the 8 fit and was still a bit of a squeeze. I had zipper issues with the dress (it got stuck right around the ribbon area) and the RTR team overnighted me another one. As I was leaving to go to my friends wedding I put the new dress on and the zipper got stuck again in the same spot and wouldn't go up. I ended up wearing something in my closet and was so sad that I couldn't wear this beautfiul dress. RTR thankfully took care of me! Overall if you are a Pear or Hourglass shape be prepared to go up a few sizes.

I rented this dress for prom in a 10 and 12, which are the sizes I normally wear. First, the dress was the same color as the picture -- it had more of a green tint which I was not expecting. When I tried the dress on, it was very tight and wouldnt zip. Its still pretty, just not fit for curvy girls.

I ordered this dress for a wedding I had last weekend never got a chance to wear it. It was a beautiful color and fabric.

Im 5 ft 8, weigh anywhere from 130-135 and am a 34 D. hope this helps.. dress was very pretty just not for curvy girls!

Great Yellow Dress!
Size worn: 8
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Party
I wore this dress out for New Years Eve. I would say I usually wear a size 6 but I got the 8 because everyone said it ran small. It was hard to zip around the belt but may have just been from wear and tear from previous people wearing the dress. I wear a 34 C and usually go up a dress size and would suggest you do too if you have a large bust, the dress does not stretch. I'm also pretty short but the length of the dress was perfect.
