Awesome, sophisticated dress!
Size worn: 2L
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
I loved this dress. It was a nice structured fabric, and I loved the seam detail that was all over the dress. I am fairly small busted so it was nice that they had a strap on the inside of the dress that helped hold it up. I received a ton of compliments on this dress, and would definitely wear it again if I had the chance!

How to make your event (or engagement shoot) epic.
Size worn: 8R
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Other
This dress really nailed the look that I was going for during my engagement shoot at Lincoln Center. Overall, the fit was good. I'd say that there's a bit too much fabric in the back of the dress, which had to be clipped at certain times during the shoot. Although the 6R fit a bit more snug, the zipper was highly uncooperative. Also, the draping wasn't as good quality / texture as the 8R. It's odd that they put the side zipper on the side of the draping -- you'd think that they'd conceal it on the other side. Regardless, it wasn't too noticeable. I paired it with 5 inch platform peep toes. At 5'4, it made me just tall enough to walk around freely without stepping on the gown. There is a bit of tulle underneath the fishtail bottom which added some fantastic drama. Highly recommend this rental to anyone going to a black tie affair!

Size worn: 8L
Overall fit: True to Size

This is my first RtR rental and I was VERY nervous about length. Law Prom had a red carpet theme this year, and when I saw the dress on the site it seemed perfect in theory. I did a showroom appointment so I could try it and and was psyched that the ONE size that was available for the date of my event fit on my (disproportionately large) hips and butt AND was long enough (but barely! you can see in the picture taken from the back that any movement lifted the hem enough to expose my shoes, which were the flattest flats I own. The showroom girls were awesome and helped me choose accessories and navigate the rental process. The bodice is very thoroughly structured with metal boning and a waist tape, so I didn't have to pull it up a single time the whole night (downside was that one of the bones was wearing through the casing and poked me all night, and the hook for the waist tape wasn't sewn on well and popped off at some point). There is NO STRETCH to this thing, so you have to get the size that fits around your largest part. For me that was my lower half. It was definitely snug on the butt, and sitting down wasn't super fun (all the more reason to stay on the dance floor!), but the dress is well structured and durably lined and smoothed all my lumps and bumps out amazingly. I had intended to buy a super-padded black strapless pushup bra to make the top a bit more proportional, but I didn't have time and ended up wearing my regular lightly-lined VS strapless, and it was fine in that the dress didn't fall down or gape open and expose my boobs if I leaned forward. If you are a slender size and have a proportional hourglass shape, this dress will look fantastic on you. Can't wait to rent again.

I wore this dress for my senior recital and felt like a goddess!
Size worn: 10L
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
I'm about 5'8 and the longer length was pretty good with a pair of 6 inch heels (if anything, it could have been longer or I could have worn smaller heels). I needed something that would be able to play in comfortably, and this dress did the trick surprisingly well, even when I was sitting down. The fit was wonderful and I wasn't having to constantly readjust between pieces. A great addition to a big event in my last semester of college!

I rented this dress for a hospital benefit and I felt like a million dollars! It’s so glamorous and it hugged my curves perfectly. I could not have been happier! I ordered the long and wore really high heels, but still picked up the dress a little to walk around. I loved pairing it with this amethyst bib necklace – I thought it looked great. I hope that I have an opportunity to rent this dress again – it was amazing!

Such an easy process!!!
Size worn: 12L
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
I ordered this dress for my sorority formal. The dress I wanted didn't come in a 12 on the weekend I needed it so I ordered a 14. This dress was available in a 12L so I ordered it as a backup. I ended up hating the other dress and loving this one. My date is about 6'8" so I wore 4 inch heel and they were the perfect size for the long. It fit like an absolute glove and I got SOOO many compliments. My only issue was that I somehow managed to release the thread where the side of the dress was bundled up so I had to safety pin it. Otherwise, I absolutely love this dress. I will definitely order it again.

It fit like a glove and everyone told me how gorgeous it was all night!
Size worn: 8R
Overall fit: True to Size

Definitely a wonderful choice, it fit perfectly and adding a pop of color with the necklace and lipstick added to the glamor. Unfortunately, I had to go out and buy shoes because I am all of 5 feet tall.. so in this picture i am in 6 inch platform shoes..so if you're petite like me make sure you've got tall shoes! So, so happy with this dress and RTR, thank you for making my night!!

Perfect chic gown for my fancy engagement photos
Size worn: 8L
Overall fit: True to Size

Love this dress and it fits my hourglass figure perfectly in the hips, it was a little loose in the torso but I'm much smaller in my torso than my hips. I got so many compliments from other people walking in the park where the photo shoot took place! This is my 3rd time renting from RTR and I can't wait to rent again!

looked like a million dollars! wish i could wear this dress over and over again
Size worn: 4L
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
dresss is gorgeous - top fits tight and stiff, but that worked well for a long night of dancing. the bottom is a little bigger (had room in the hips). overall the construction is very elegant and expensive, and the dress looked amazing. however, when i got this dress, the zipper broke on the four while I was trying it on (even though the dress was not too small on me), and then when I tried on the six, the fabric on the pleat at the bottom came undone, so basically I had two unwearable dresses. rtr refunded me fo the replacement of the zipper, but it was a massive nightmare running around trying to find a seamstress to replace a zipper in one day (since I received my dresses the night before my event). besides that hiccup, the dress was truly amazing. it runs long, so beware, because I was in giant heels and still felt nervous about tripping over the hem all night.

Gorgeous Red Carpet Gown!
Size worn: 6L
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
I wore this gown to a red carpet event and it was a complete hit! I was very satisfied with my RTR experience and have already recommended this site to my girlfriends. The dress I received arrived a day early, still had the tags, and had never been worn. I ordered the long, which worked out perfectly, since I was 6'-0" tall (with heels) and the gown just barely grazed the floor. However, toward the end of the evening the bunched bottom fabric came loose (at the "mermaid tail") and the dress grew 3' longer. I was a bit surprised, although I may have stepped on it and snapped a thread. So, for taller ladies, I would recommend not going with "long" if you will be dancing or walking quite a bit. This gorgeous dress should be worn with care.

Absolutely Stunning Gown! Red Carpet Worthy!
Size worn: 4L
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
This is the absolutely most amazing gown I have ever worn! It fit like a glove. I received compliments on the gown all night. It was very comfortable and I could have worn it for 12 hours or more. I am 5' "7 and rented the Long; I was kind of nervous it would be too long, but it was perfect. I wore 4" heels, but the Long would have been fine with 3" heels too. Great for hourglass figure. I wish I could keep it! The entire experience with RTR, was fantastic. Impeccable customer service. I will definitely rent from RTR again.

Beautiful mermaid gown, fit for a black-tie affair!
Size worn: 2R
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
I can fit in sizes 2 or 4 depending on the designer/cut, but I usually fit in 4. I ordered this as a back-up and didn't wear this. I was expecting the size 2 to not fit due to the extreme figure-hugging cut of the dress. I was so pleasantly surprised that I actually fit in the 2! It was snug but came out looking exactly like the model. Extremely body hugging and beautiful! I was sad to send this back, and even sadder that I didn't wear this to the event.

Did not wear, but....
Size worn: None
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
I am 5'7 and ordered this dress in two different sizes. A 0L and a 2R. The day before my order was to ship, I was informed that the 0L was unavailable. (I had placed my order roughly 3 mounts in advance to my event). RTR staff was SO accommodating, they let me choose another dress to make up for the unavailability- I mean, above and beyond accommodating to meet my needs! Having said this, yes, the 2R was a bit large, but could have worked (I feel like a size smaller would cinched my waist a bit more). More importantly, it was entirely too short. I had 4" heels that I had purched to wear with. In the 2R, I'd have pretty much needed to have been flat footed for it to work. This is an amazing gown, but should hit right at the floor. Tricky, yes, but any more or any less could ruin the look.

Stunning, stand out black dress
Size worn: 6R
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
With black dresses, I'm always concerned that I'll blend in too much, but this is definitely a stand out black dress. It is absolutely gorgeous, and I got a ton of compliments. Early on in the night, I snagged the bustle and it fell apart. Apologies to whoever rented this after me! I'm sure RTR fixed it up though before sending to anyone else. :-) I tried to safety pin the bustle back, but that fell out too so I ended up holding up that front part of the dress most of the night - really wasn't a big deal. Perfect rental too because this is a stand out dress that you likely wouldn't be able to wear again since everyone will remember it!

I rented this dress for a formal gala. Perfect dress! I love the way the fabric drapes- very flattering. The only problem was the dress was a little big in the bust area and kept slipping a bit. I did have to head to the ladies room from time to time to pull it up a bit. I got quite a few compliments though- Would consider renting this again

Great gown! Unforgiving and runs true to size, so make sure to size up for your free backup size! This gown is super dramatic and I found it to fit well, totally love it with a great statement necklace. Length is easy too!

Just enough structure to hold in the places that needed it while flattering my curves. A very classy dress. My only comment is the hanger loops kept popping out of the back. Other than that, perfect!!

I Felt Like a Queen!
Size worn: 12L
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
My husband and I go to a black tie fundraiser every year in early March. As soon as I saw the picture RTR posted of this dress on Facebook when it came in, I KNEW this was the perfect dress! I wanted to wear it so badly that I was nervous to try it on when it finally came but I had nothing to fear. The top fit perfectly, nice and snug (without being to tight) and the extra elastic band kept me from having to pull it up all night. The length wa also perfect, I wore it with 3" heels, and the train followed after me just as it should. I do think you could also go with 4" heels and still be fine. I'm slimmer in my hips, so I did find the dress to be a little big in that area, but not so much that it was noticeable and it made sitting down and getting in and out of the car easier. I would definitely recommend this dress to anyone who wants to feel amazing!

This was my back-up dress and I did not wear it. I am 5'7" and 125lbs and very small-busted. The fit was good through the bottom but too loose on top. Would probably be a better fir for someone who is better proportioned than I am. It was too bad, because the overall effect was really eye-catching, the length was perfect with 4" heels and I would have felt gorgeous in it if it had fit me well!
