I rented the dress to ring in the new year... and got ENGAGED!!!!
Size worn: M
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Date
I'm so glad I read the reviews! The slip underneath was VERY tight, so I wore the large in the nude slip and a medium in the lace dress. I definitely recommend sizing up for the underneath part and the lace dress is true to size (I'm between a 6 and 8). I'm short (5'3) and the dress came right to my knees. It was absolutely gorgeous!

Perfect semi-formal, winter dress. And I danced all night in it, too!
Size worn: XS
Overall fit: Large
Rented for: Wedding
Very slim fitting, nude slip with a gorgeous, black lace overlay that is an entirely separate piece. The lace "dress" stays put even when the slip rides up a bit (which would be my only complaint). Very classic look with a bit of sex appeal, especially if you add contemporary accessories and a platform heel. Although the dress is of sufficient length, tall girls should be aware that it is TIGHT all the way around and you may feel self-conscious in a conservative setting.

Perfect dress for a company Christmas Party!
Size worn: S
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
I rented this back in December for my husband's company Christmas party, and I loved it! I ended up wearing the S slip and the XS lace dress as many other reviewers have recommended. The dress is tight and rode up just a little, but I felt comfortable. I loved that I could wear a regular bra. I did have to wear a thong with a thick band so it didn't look like it was digging into my hips. I'm sure Spanx would fix this issue. Overall very pleased, and I would definitely rent it again.

Pefect wow moment dress!
Size worn: XS
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
I wore this for one of my best friends weddings and I loved it. I rented the small and x-small and only the xs had the inner liner. The xs was a little worn as other reviewers had stated, and had definitely seen better days. No one noticed those details but me though. I received a ton of compliments during the wedding and on photos after the fact. The only thing I would say is that I had a lot of cleavage showing and for the church ceremony I wished I had a wrap or something to be a little more modest. I'm also really short so the dress hit me just below the knee, which I really enjoyed because it offset the low neckline. This dress was very comfortable to sit, eat, dance, or whatever. I absolutely loved it and can't wait to find another reason to rent again!

I wore this dress to see Wicked while it was in Dallas. The dress was very flattering, I did what a lot of the reviews said, wore the M slip and the L dress. The only complaint I had was that it was very low cut and kept wanting to stay that way, so I was constantly adjusting myself, even after trying to use fashion tape. However, I would definitely wear that dress again. Elegant but sexy!!

this dress makes anyone look fabulous and sexy!
Size worn: L
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
i looked sexy,thinner,stopped nyc traffic in this stunner..i am a size 12 odd ,lumpy etc..this dress comes w/ a nude slip shaper that helps tuck everything in place nicely..the arms fit and the way it is made actually made my arms look thinner. the dress is also sewn together in a way that makes your butt look shapely too..length was good and was easy to adjust.. draw backs are: the neckline was a little loose so i suggest one wear something to cover nipples if you don't have a full cup size to fill the edges. i take long strides, so the dress rode up a lot so i had to adjust myself all night.. BUT this dress was so flattering and comfortable... I ROCKED THIS DRESS! I ROCKED THE RUNWAY! I would go out and buy this dress in a heartbeat!

Runs between true to size and slightly on the larger side. I typically wear a size 6-8 or medium-large. I rented the medium, and I may have been able to get away with even a small, though the medium still worked out well.

This was a great dress. Sexy, but still conservative with the length. Nice fit!
Size worn: S
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
The fit was tight, yet conservative with the length. I was a bit worried about my cleavage hanging out, as it's a low cut dress and I was at a family wedding, but all worked out. I wish the dress had been a BIT shorter but was pleased with the dress, overall. It was a great dress for a cold November wedding in Indiana!

Meow - you look like Cat Woman!
Size worn: S
Overall fit: Large
Rented for: Formal Affair
Really great dress, but I echo the other comments on it being a little big. I did as many other women suggested and wore the Small slip and the XS dress. Fit well and was very flattering, except I had a hard time figuring out what kind of bra to wear. Probably not the best dress for larger-chested girls, but I made it work by wearing a black lace bra (so if any of it ended up showing, it would match the dress). I got tons of compliments at the gala, as well as from my friends on Facebook. I felt a little self-conscious all night, looking down to make sure nothing had fallen out of place, but overall - a classy, figure-flattering dress!

Size worn: M
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
I recently gave birth 10 weeks ago and was nervous about what would fit my new curves. This dress did certainly accentuate not only my curves but also my new chest size. If you are modest, then this might not be the dress for you. But I loved showing off my new "Mommy" body. I have never felt sexier in that dress.

Great concept and easy to wear dress. But flat chests beware.
Size worn: None
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
Pros: The lace sheath is stretchy and hugs you in all the right places. Very sexy. Cons: If you have a flat chest like me, the top is big and will require padding and/or taping. this was true for the S and M. Also, the slip is much smaller than the dress so I had to use the M slip for the S dress. This dress is beautiful. Unfortunately, it's also very popular which meant that I got two dresses that were ready for retirement. Both the 6 and 8 had snags in the lace and stains on the slip. The incredible customer service at RTR meant that I got sincere apologies and a full refund. Way to retain a loyal customer!

Sexy, flattering, comfortable!
Size worn: M
Overall fit: True to Size

This dress sure was low-cut--I actually would've worn the small, except that it was way too low-cut to be safe to wear--but it was super hot and really comfortable. It stretches nicely and doesn't ride up or anything, so the length is a happy medium between conservative and short. I wore this to a birthday date at a fancy restaurant and got tons of looks and compliments, and would highly recommend it! I'd maybe order your size and a size up to be sure it works with the camisole underneath.

This dress was fabulous & sexy for a great date! For my chest size I would recommend this as a very sexy dress (probably wouldn't wear it to a wedding or office party). It was gorgeous! I'm glad I followed the advice of other reviewers & wore the Large spans/slip with the medium lace dress. So order a size up & use that slip! Wish I could find this online to buy!

even happier birthday for me!
Size worn: L
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Party
loved this dress. i have fairly large breasts and a butt (5'3", 36D and hover between size 10 and 12), and this dress was extremely flattering. it was certainly fitting on a curvier girl like me, but it looked good and i didn't even use spanx...just stand straight! it's also low cut, so i didn't wear a bra. i wouldn't choose to wear this dress at a more conservative event, like a work function, but that's probably because of my breast size. the reason it is not five stars is because after i was done with the opera and went out dancing, the dress rode up a lot and i found myself adjusting quite a bit.

Although form fitting, the slip under the lace dress helped to smooth and hide any imperfections (muffin top!). The dress comes to just above the knee, the photo of the model shows it much shorter - which I was glad to have!

Size worn: M
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Party
This was my first RTR experience and it was great! I have recently lost some weight so I wanted to wear something that was more form fitting than I'm used to. I ordered both the small and the medium and ended up going with the medium for both pieces. The lace portion was a little big and I could have gotten away with wearing the small but I'm not used to wearing something so form fitting so i wasn't as comfortable. I felt amazing in this dress! I received a ton of compliments and my husband want to know where I could buy it! Made it through dinner and dancing without having to make too many adjustment, it stayed put most of the night. Great first time rental experience! I surely be renting more often and especially this dress!

Sexy dress for a winter wedding
Size worn: S
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
This dress was very sexy (almost too much for a wedding!) and I got tons of compliments all night. Easy to move around in but was adjusting the front a lot as it would start to slip in the chest area. I wore a small and the nude slip underneath was very tight but the black lace dress over the top fit fine and couldn't tell that the slip was tight. All around great choice!

When I first put this dress on, I was just planning on attending a nice Thanksgiving dinner with my family and boyfriend's family. But I also wanted to feel sexy. It was the perfect balance. Then, he proposed! With all the photographs taken that night, I wouldn't have wanted to be in ANY other dress. It is certainly form-fitting (very stretchy material, which I liked) but it is not too short. Great length. Classy, easy to dress up and fit to whatever the event may be. I would buy this dress immediately if I could. I'll remember it forever!

I wish I would have gone with my gut and got both the XS and the S instead of the S and M. I'm 5'5 and 128lbs.

I wish there was a buy it option after renting!

WASTE OF $. My friend wore the dress instead. A little too big under my arms. This is her pic!
Size worn: XS
Overall fit: Large
Rented for: Vacation
The slip was incredibly tight and bunched up. Originally, I was going to follow the advice from other renters and wear the S slip with the XS (P) dress. My friend tried on the dress and she is about 20 pounds heavier than me and 1 inch taller and it looked better on her (she wore her own slip). So $70 down the drain for me, but it looked great on her! She got many compliments all night.

Sexy yet classy!! The dress was wonderful despite having to use my own slip underneath.
Size worn: L
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
I loved the top lace layer. It was perfect for a winter wedding in the Colorado mountains. However, the slip underneath was not meant for a gal with breasts. The cups were so small they cut my breasts in half. I'm a 36/38D and it was incredibly uncomfortable wearing the slip. So, with the help of my boyfriend, we got creative and pieced together a black slip (tank top and slip skirt). I thought it looked nicer with the all black. The medium I ordered was fine but the large was much more comfortable (I wear a size 8 usually). Overall, I received a TON of compliments and I felt very comfortable the whole night!

The dress was very beautiful. It was delivered with a small rip in the sleeve, but nothing noticeable. I ordered both the small and the medium, but ended up wearing the medium without even trying on the small. The top is not as low cut as every makes it out to be-- II didn't need fashion tape at all. The slip under the dress did ride up a little bit and I found myself pulling it down often. I was worried that it would be too long like some other pictures, but for me it was the perfect length. Overall, it was a beautiful dress... I would love to own it!

I really liked the length of the dress and the style! I did however have to use the medium beige slip with the small black lace dress! They are two separate pieces. My only concern is that I am a d cup and I had way too much cleavage for my taste. Other than that I felt very comfortable and sexy in the dress!
