Gorgeous Dress! Felt like a Princess all night long!
Size worn: 6L
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Formal Affair
I got too many compliments to count when I wore this dress. It is 100% silk and fits like a glove. It is free flowing below the midsection, so my body flaws were not visible. (Big butt and not-so-smooth thighs). The corseted waist served to hold up the dress, so I rarely had to pull it up. The top was a bit small if you are large busted. I wore a 6L, am a 36 C, so I had to be careful not to have "muffin boob". Make sure to hold the dress it you are in a crowded room as the train is flowing and people will step on it. The RTR process is so easy! I will never buy another gown, renting is the way to go!

Gorgeous dress- so fun to wear!
Size worn: 6L
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
I didn't really like the look of the dress on the model, but my friend encouraged me to get it anyway, and it was BEAUTIFUL in person. The 6 fit almost perfectly- the top did slide down a tiny bit, but I wasn't constantly adjusting or anything, just normal strapless problems ;). I'm very tall and it was plenty long. I wore flats, but probably could have worn 2 or 3" heels. I'd definitely recommend it!

The silk chiffon was elegant and flowed behind as you walked. The color was a beautiful deep purple.
Size worn: 8L
Overall fit: Small

I wore this to my daughter's debutante ball. I usually wear a 6, but read the reviews and did need the next size up. I am 5'10" and wore 4 inch heels and the length of the 8L was perfect, it still hit the floor. So many compliments of it being the best dress in the room. It looked unique and different from all the other dresses. The box with the two dresses came in time. Will definitely rent again.

Pretty gown with nice flow
Size worn: 4R
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
This dress was an alternative that didn't fit. It was too large in the top so that the boning "buckled". It was also quite short. With no shoes, it was just off the floor, I couldn't have worn heels with it.

Overall a great fit. Very snug around the midsection. A little loose up top without a bra. Had to pull it up a few times during the night. Loved loved loved this dress. Wanted to add some color to my evening instead of the typical common "black" gown. It was a hit!

I felt beautiful in this dress. I wore it for a NYE Masquerade Ball, it was perfect. I can't wait to use RTR again. I normally wear a size 2 in jeans & this dress fit perfect. This dress was wonderful!!!

I felt like a million bucks!
Size worn: 10R
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
RTR really came through this time around. The original dress I had picked got held up in shipping and wasn't going to make it to me in time for NYE. RTR rectified the situation quickly and over- nighted 2 new dresses at no additional cost! I'm glad I was forced to pick something else to wear because I fell in love with this dress! The dress came with a little bit of pilling in a few areas (I guess that's to be expected with such a delicate fabric such as silk). It was true to size, although it felt a little tight through the rib cage in the beginning but that was okay because it held me in so well, I didn't need to wear a bra with this dress. The regular was the perfect length in 4 1/2 heels. My only complaint is the tiny train in the back, I had to be careful not to step on it. Awesome dress and wonderful customer service, thank you RTR!

Twirling in the dress.
Size worn: 10R
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
I had several technical difficulties with my dress. The zipper was broken, and there were a few snags in the chiffon. However, once I got into the dress, it was amazing. It was comfortable because you don't have to wear a strapless bra. Though, I would watch out if you have a D cup bust or higher like me. The top did not fit as well as I'd like. If you're short, wear high heels. I had to wear 4.5 inch heels. That said, I felt like a princess and received several compliments.

Rental process is so convenient! Renting instead of buying a dress I'll wear once -Great concept!
Size worn: 6R
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
I ordered my usual size 6 and a 4 as back up. I wore the size 6. The dress arrived 2 days prior to my event so I had time to purchase shoes based on the length. I am 5'5 and needed a 4 inch heel. The dress comes with a built-in bodice so no bra is needed. I am a 34B and it fit perfectly. The dress is elegant and flowing. It will not disappoint. Trust me! Many compliments throughout the evening. I will use RTR again- next month! :)

This dress was absolutely stunning! LOVED IT
Size worn: 2R
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
I felt so lucky to have worn this dress. I received so many compliments and felt like a princess. The pictures came out amazing and I didn't have any significant problems with the dress whatsoever. I am small busted so I had to wear a push up strapless bra so if you are at least a B cup you should be fine. I only had to pull it up a few times during the night. Also, if you are 5'4" or shorter this dress might not be a great choice. Although I had a wonderful experience wearing it, I'm 5'2" and the dress was incredibly long on me, even with 5 inch heels on! I would definitely recommend this dress for any tall ladies out there. The fit was great, no complaints! Overall this dress was a winner. I had a great night and was so happy to have worn this beautiful gown. It will not let you down!

Flowy, flattering and stunning!!
Size worn: 4R
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Wedding
First off let me just say that RTR came thru like heroes during Hurricane Sandy and I couldn't be more grateful! I originally ordered 2 dresses to be delivered however both became unavailable due to the storm, but RTR contacted me and allowed me to pick out dresses regardless of the price for replacement!!! I was beside myself when this offer was made and chose this beauty of a dress!!! I am 5'3, 34b, 115 lbs, normally a size 2 or 4 and wore the 4R to a beach wedding. I wore a 4inch heel with it and it was the perfect length. The color photographed more on the purple side but the dress is the color shown on the website. The detail of this dress was AMAZING... truly a stunner in person! I received so many compliments on the dress all night and even more so on the customer service with how RTR came thru in a pinch! It was painful to return this dress! Anyone looking for a stop you dead in your tracks dress - this is it! LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!! <3 Thank you RTR for an amazing dress and impeccable service!! VERY pleased with my experience and will be renting again and spreading the word on how fabulous you are!

Beautiful dress, not the right fit
Size worn: 4R
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Formal Affair
This dress was my first choice for a black-tie event, but I didn't end up wearing it due to sizing issues. The long size wasn't available, so I took a risk and got the regular. The bust was the right fit, but at my height, it was about 2 inches too short. It was a gorgeous dress, but I was also slightly surprised that it retails for more than $2k -- I probably wouldn't choose it again for the rental price, even if my size was available.

Very beautiful dress, but waaaay too small for me
Size worn: None
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Formal Affair
I usually wear an 8 or 10 in dresses and this was nowhere near a normal dress size. I have a pretty large bust, also, so that didn't help. This dress is very very beautiful and flowing and just lovely, but it's certainly made for a tall, slim and small-busted woman. If you are that woman, GET THIS DRESS! You won't regret it. For the rest of us, there are plenty of other beautiful dresses out there. :)

I felt Gorgeous!
Size worn: 2L
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
This dress is VERY purple, it fit well, even if it was a bit snug in the chest, and everyone was offering up compliments. My only complaint would be that part of the boning in the bodice had poked through the fabric and by the end of the night I had a large raw spot. Regardless of that I loved the way this fit and the fabric was unbelievably soft! Beware though ladies at my event, a small one at that, there were two of us wearing this dress!

Great dress - just too short on me.
Size worn: None
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
This was a back-up dress that I ordered based on pictures posted by other RTR members. I loved this dress - the top of it is just gorgeous and the bottom flows like a dream. It has an ombre look to it which doesn't show right in the standard picture of the dress and the back has a bit of a train to it. I ordered a regular instead of a long and the dress was just too short to wear with heels so I opted for another dress - looking forward to renting this one in the right size the next time I need a gown!

Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Party
I received a lot of compliments. I looked lovely and it was a fun flowy dress to wear. I would say though the dress was a bit too long for me. Also I'm busty so I wish I could of worn the size 4 dress because it would fit my waist better and probably would have held the dress up better but at the same it would have also probably be too tight in my chest and I would have been spilling out so no win in that battle.
