Perfect Company Holiday Party Dress
Size worn: 6
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
I rented this dress for a company holiday party. I wanted to shy away from wearing black like everyone else and go with something with a little color. This dress was the perfect choice! It was a perfect blend of sexiness while not showing too much skin, as it was a corporate event. It fit me like a glove and my boyfriend absolutely loved it. I got a lot of compliments for it and felt really confident in it. I would definitely recommend this dress.

Fabulous fit!
Size worn: 2
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
This dress was a hit at the second of two weddings I attended in one weekend. I ordered a 0 and 2 and wore the 2. I am curvy and was a little self conscious of the tight fit in my tush. Overall I loved the elegant look and feel of the dress. The color is an amazing blue and the fit of the dress (minus my self consciousness) was very flattering. I paired it with silver and pearl jewelry and black shoes very similar to those seen on the model. I highly recommend this dress, but go a size up if you are curvy.

So many people at the dance told me how beautiful, young and stylish I looked. I could also dance the night away in this dress.

This was my first time to rent a dress. I was very pleased with the fit and the dress was so flattering. It is classy and elegant and I got many compliments. I wore some shiny bling to make it more festive. The look from behind was as attractive as the look from the front. I danced in this dress and it was comfortable and moved well. I was hesitant to order since I seem much older than the others who post. I am proof you can still look lovely and fashionable at 61.

What a fantastic dress. The color is great! Very true to the way it looked on my screen. The fit was great, just be sure you're okay with it hugging your curves (in a good way)! I'm normally a 12, and the 12 fit me perfectly. I wore it to a wedding and received so many compliments. I will second that the zipper is a little weird. It does stand out, but I don't think it's a deal breaker. I'd definitely rent this dress again.

The fit was perfect...like a glove. The only draw back for me was the sliver zipper that ran through the back. I just wish the zipper was more concealed.

This was my first experience and now this is my go-to shop for every event. If I don't get anything it's because I'm pressed for time and I always regret it. This however, was not a regret! I'm pretty curvy and wanted to be bold and this dress was hugging every curve!! So if you're shy, or not into a more fitting dress this may not work.

Flattering and chic
Size worn: 0
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Date
This dress fits nicely and is very chic, but I wouldn't say it's terribly memorable. You could definitely dress it up with jewelry though, and sometimes all you want is a flattering dress that doesn't involve much thinking. It was easy to throw on quickly for a date. The navy color and thick material make it more of a fall/winter than a spring/summer dress.

Ugly conspicuous, poorly sewn and bunching zipper in the back.

Looked great from the front. The zipper puckered through the back and was too bulky for the fabric. I didn't wear it.

Ruching on my tummy made me look skinny. Stretch in the fabric helps for an easy fit. I hosted a dinner party and was comfortable and classy in this!

Very pretty color and better for an hourglass figure.
Size worn: 4
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Party
I received compliments, but I did not feel comfortable in this dress. I am very petite, smaller bust and I just thought it did nothing for me. Definitely a great dress for someone who is curvier. I did like the navy blue color and a great alternative to a LBD.

Wore it for a Sunday daytime wedding. Not too plain, not too fancy....but elegant. Form fitting but not tight. Rented the dark blue which was a great color. Hit above the knee on me (I am about 5'4"). Got lots of compliments.

Beautiful Dress, Odd Zipper.
Size worn: 4
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
Overall, this dress was great. It is very flattering on and definitely has a bit of a slimming effect. I got tons of compliments on the color and the shape. My one qualm is the zipper, which definitely stands out and sort of seems like it doesn't belong there. I did have several people say that they liked the zipper detail though, so I guess it is just personal taste. Beautiful dress. I should note, however, that although I think the dress does run true to size, it was pretty tight. If you want it to fit like a glove, then order your true size... but if you want a more comfortable fit, I would advise going up one size. I did not get two sizes because my "size up" was not available, but I would definitely recommend getting your true size and then opting for the second dress in one size bigger.

I rented this to wear to my office's Christmas party, and my husband's office's Christmas party. It meets the modesty requirements for hanging out with coworkers -- not too low plunging, long enough -- but is tremendously sexy and marvelously fun to wear.

The first time I tried on this dress I was sure I'd rented the wrong size. Seemed really, really small and I couldn't zip it by myself. My husband was less than keen on my 2nd choice dress so at the last minute I put this one back on (with his help!!). It fit perfectly. Seemed a little tight under one arm but that didn't bother me again all evening. Cinched in my middle wonderfully and I could still eat a four course meal!

I wore this dress last night to my fiance's golf club's holiday party and it was a definite hit, especially with him. This dress definitely accentuated my curves without making me feel self-conscious. You feel cinched in, but not where you feel like you can't imbide in cocktail hour or dessert. For a black-tie optional party, this is a great dress when you don't want to be like everyone else who is wearing their little black dress.

Runs small, as other reviewers have mentioned... but overall, a beautiful, flattering dress. Wore a strapless bra without problems and topped the outfit off with silver earrings and bracelet. Got a lot of compliments, including one saying the dress made me look like Kate Middleton. I'll take it!

I got the size 4 and it was perfect for a gala dinner. I loved how the dress fit. The body of the dress is tight and keeps your figure intact. There is a metallic zipper on the side that I thought gave it a bit of edge. The neck line was also great, I am a 34 D and did not feel too busty.

I thought this dress was very pretty, however I felt that it ran very very small. I ordered this in an 8 and a 10 for my backup size because some reviews told me to do so. I'm typically a solid 8 and many times a 6, but I had to wear the 10 this time and I felt that was even very tight (even with spanx). I haven't gained any weight, lol! So my suggestion is to size up. Great dress!

I rented this dress for a wedding I attended. The dress fit perfectly which was great since the size bigger was not available. The dress was very flattering. My husband loved it & could not stop complimenting me! At first I didn't love the metallic zipper, but I had seen at NY Times article that this was the new trend. I would totally rent this dress again!

Beautiful dress! Really nice color! This dress fit well, but slightly smaller than I expected. I agree with other comments about the large silver zipper that stands out. I wasn't expecting that since it is not visible in any of the RTR photos. Fits very snugly so can be a bit sweaty when dancing, but overall a really nice dress. Received lots of compliments at the wedding I attended.

Totally honest: I rented this dress while carrying some extra weight. Feeling insecure, I was very worried about finding a dress that will highlight my curves without magnifying my flaws. This dress did it! I felt sexy, confident and quite Christina Hendricks-esque. I could breathe and not worry about the extra 15 lbs. I was carrying. Gorgeous color, I have light blue eyes and they really popped in this dress. I am very full busted and large in the back-end as well and this dress made me proud of those curves. For very busty women, the top provides full coverage and was very snug, yet what isn’t snug when you are that large on top? It still was flattering but took a little adjusting with the ruching. I was worried about the length being too short, but it was the perfect length, right above the knee. I'm so happy I went with this dress!

Overall I wasn't a big fan of this dress. I felt like it had a lot of extra fabric and made me look bigger than I am. I also did not like the silver zipper - it took away from the classiness of the dress. It did not have the wow factor I was looking for.

This dress is absolutely amazing. If I weren't a college kid on a college kid budget-I'd buy it. I wore this dress to my sister's wedding, I sang the Ave Maria so I needed something pretty but appropriate. The neckline was flattering and the sleeves covered the shoulders very tastefully. The ruching was flattering everywhere. This is a BODY TIGHT dress. But I had people at the ceremony, the reception, on the street (while taking pics), and even at the bars giving me compliments, asking where I got it. I wore it with my hair in a side bun, silver drop crystal earring, and two fancy looking silver, crystal, and pearl rings. All in all, this picture doesn't do the dress justice--one of the best dresses on the site!

The size 2 that I received fit me fine, but I did not find the dress to be flattering. The amount of ruching material was bulky and added to my figure, rather than accentuating it. Fortunately I rented another Nicole Miller dress (Square Neck Sequin Shoulder Dress) that was stunning. I was also not a fan of the side silver zipper on this dress.

Definitely a snug fit, but really sexy as it hugs ALL the right curves. I know a lot of people have issues with the huge zipper, but I received a lot of compliments...it made the dress that much better! My "second size" was a size down, which was a joke. I should've gotten it in a size larger so that it may have been a little less snug. Oh well...hindsight is 20/20.
