Very flattering, great for formal events
Size worn: 4R
Overall fit: Large
Rented for: Formal Affair
This dress runs big. I'm a standard size 6, so I ordered a 6R and a 4R. The 4 fit better and I wonder if a 2 would've fit as well. Contrary to what other reviewers have said, I didn't find this dress to be short at all. I'm 5'2" and in large heels (maybe 5 inches?), the dress was just off the ground. The dress is very comfortable. The only problem I had is that the top was a little big, so I needed to tape it. It's a very low v-neck, so make sure you're comfortable with that. But the dress looked fantastic and was very forgiving, even after a large dinner.

Beautiful dress, very confortable!
Size worn: 0R
Overall fit: True to Size

I absolutely loved the dress, it was a great fit. Classy and very comfortable. It was very short though. I would sugget getting a long, no matter how tall you are. I would consider myself pretty short, only 5`2 and with no shoes on it only came to my ankles. Just make sure despite what the measurements say that you get it long enough!

Beautiful Dress.
Size worn: 12R
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
This was my first experience with RTR so I wasn't sure what to expect so I chatted with a fit consultant before ordering. When I first got the dress and tried it on, it looked too short, even without shoes, but after hanging for 24 hours, it turned out to be the perfect length with the shoes I wore. I got lots of compliments and it was comfortable to wear. Will definitely rent again.

The beautiful dress and earrings made me feel so stylish and elegant!
Size worn: 8L
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
The dress works well on an hour glass figure. I ordered the 8L and it skimmed the top of my shoes with 4" heels. The beading at the waist compliments the slight ruching. Very flattering and forgiving.

I received lots of compliments on the dress. The whole RTR experience was fun from searching, to ordering to the box arrived at the door! My teenage daughters was excited as I was for me to try them on.

Loved the dress. I am very glad I got the long - I am only 5'6" and wore 4 inch heels. Because of the stretch I actually think that I could have worn the 6L even though I am never a 6. This dress is very low - so not a could choice for large chested women. The embellishment is actually hand-sewn individual crystals and beads - very nice.

Size worn: 2R
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
I actually rented this dress for my mom, she is a very petite lady, 5'1'', 110 lbs, she wore the 2R and it fit her nicely, was a good length but a little short for her 3 inch heels (didn't touch the ground). She said she was very comfortable all night, but it was very low cut she had to pin it high up on the neck for her taste, and it might look better on a more curvy woman because the ruching on the hips didn't lay 100% right. In any other color it would have been noticeable but with the black it looked fine. Overall she was very happy and looked wonderful!

My first RTR experience has been great! I was able to order two beautiful dresses at very reasonable prices. The dresses arrived as requested 2 days before my event and ready to wear. One of the dresses ordered was brand new with the price tag still attached. I love the fact that it arrived in a discreet, but well packaged box. Returning the dresses was also seamless. The return envelopes were labeled and ready to go... it doesn't get any easier than that! As for Customer Service, they were excellent. I called them twice: once when I placed the order to make sure my credit card wasn't being charged for the retail value of the dresses and on both occasions, they were both helpful and polite. I'm SO happy that there's a RTR and plan to use them for every event I have going forward. I attend 12 black-tie affairs and at least 5 cocktail events a year. Purchasing 20+ gowns a year has proven to be not only costly, but stressful... as I couldn't wear them again once my picture was published in the society column. The other disadvantage for me is that I live in a condo so storing these gowns were proving to be a problem as they were taking up way too much space in my already small closet. Now, I don't have to worry about shopping, cleaning and storing ball gowns anymore. Even my husband was happy because I saved money and wasn't stressed in the process. Thanks RTR for offering such beautiful high-end garments at a great price and excellent customer service too!
Size worn: 6L
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
This was my first rental from RTR and I must say I picked the perfect dress for my body type. I'm pretty proportioned, but have a nice sized butt and thighs so if you're curvy this dress will accentuate and flatter those areas very nicely. Another great thing about this dress is the coverage. I'm not overweight, but I do have cellulite in the thigh and butt area, as well as a little pouch in the abdomen. The design of this dress drapes the fabric to gently fall across all of those areas without looking as though you're trying to hide something. My abs looked flat, my butt looked great and no ripples or dimples seeped through. And, the plus is that I didn't wear any foundation - just a regular bra and panty set (I'm sure I would've looked even better had I worn my Spanx). The only possible problem with this dress is the plunging neckline. It doesn't look too bad in the picture, but in reality it's tends to open when on the body so if you're busty or shy then you will definitely need fabric tape. I opted not to use tape and was comfortable with a more revealing cleavage (see pic). As for the length, I'm 5'4-1/2 so I ordered both the 6R and 6L and wore the 6L with 4" stilettos because I prefer to have my dress cover the tops of my shoes. I ranked this dress 4/5 stars because of the neckline only, and I'd definitely rent this dress again.

Lovely, elegant but I chose to wear another dress I ordered.

A little more conservative than it appears. It is a classic , but it lost out to a Badgley Mischka strapless sequin gown.

Stretchy fabric
Size worn: 8R
Overall fit: Large
Rented for: Formal Affair
This dress has a lot of stretch which is exactly what I wanted as I tend to have a hard time finding clothes that fit when I'm apple-shaped (when I'm in better shape, I have no curves - I'm straight up and down). The dress is forgiving around the waist and still elegant for a formal.

Not my favorite.
Size worn: None
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Formal Affair
Thankfully I rented this dress as a back up. It was definitely unwearable. The draping across the chest area was way off. It looked as if someone had stretched it out on one side and not the other. I rented the 6L and even with flats it would have been way too short for me (5'9"). I would not recommend this dress for taller girls. Also I would highly recommend fashion tape so you can deal with any weird draping issues.

Beautiful dress, but the V neck was too low.
Size worn: 0R
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
The V neck really made this dress uncomfortable. The material was too thick to stick correctly with the fashion tape and it was difficult to pin. The length was just the right length for me with 5 in. heels.

I wasn't super excited about this dress when I ordered it for my backup dress, but I couldn't have been more thrilled with it. It was elegant, sexy but classy and very comfortable. How often do all of those happen? Word of warning.....the neckline is MUCH lower than pictured. I had tape and a pin ready to go, but dubbed the evening "Girls Nite Out" and made sure my posture was impeccable.

Overall fit: True to Size

Loved this dress. My boyfriend mentioned how amazing I looked in it. I received many compliments from other wedding guest all night long. I didn't give it 5 stars because the neckline was super low and would open up and show my bra. I had to tape it up and use a pin.

The fit was a little big, but at 5'5" 110 lbs that was to be expected. it definitely fits true to size. I was complimented all night and held up great. Tape was needed for the bust, as the neckline was much too low. But overall I would definitely rent it again, I loved it!

Great dress!
Size worn: 8L
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
This dress was great. I got a lot of compliments! However, I had to pin the bust because it was a very low V. The dress also kind of stretched as the night went on, which made everything fall even lower. But overall I really loved the dress. I wore 4.5inch heels, so I was glad that I got the long.

Black Tie Perfect
Size worn: 8L
Overall fit: True to Size

This dress accentuated my body in all the right places... The embellishment hits closer to the hip, not the waist, which is good for my body. I did need a little invisible tape around the chest, but other than that, it was perfect.

Great for an hourglass figure!
Size worn: 2R
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
This is a beautiful dress that is quite comfortable. For someone who is an hourglass, it hugs in all the right places. Unless you really want to go for a va va voom look, I would suggest purchasing some fashion tape to make sure you have a bit of coverage. I sent it back because I was going to a conservative affair -- but for the right event it would be gorgeous!

Classy and comfortable
Size worn: 12R
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
I rented this dress as a back-up for a formal event. The dress was true to size and just the right length in the regular size for my 5'3" frame with 3 inch heels. I normally wear petite sizes, so if you are tall be sure to get the longer length.This dress was super comfortable with a little stretch to it. The top fit great (36DD+), but did seem to gape a little bit into the evening (should have put fashion tape in my bag!). Basically it hugged all my curves except minimized my belly - how can you not love that?! I went for an old Hollywood glam look and paired this with vintage style accessories, hair and make-up.

i'm 5' 3/12" and it was a little too short for the shoes that i wanted to wear. i think the long would have fit better. if you plan on wearing tall heels you may want to consider the longer option. the chest opening goes down pretty low, so if you're looking for something conservative this may not be the dress for you-- however i loved that part of it.

Ritz Carlton Formal Black Tie
Size worn: 0R
Overall fit: Large
Rented for: Formal Affair
I ordered this dress in sizes 0 and 2 for a formal event at the Ritz Carlton hotel. I typically wear a 0 in most things but sometime I have to go up to 2 because I am wider in my hips and breast than my shoulders and waist. This dress in both sizes was much to large for me even with the smallest size being a 0. Luckily, I ordered a second dress from Rent the Runway that fit perfectly! I felt like that star at the party! However, for this dress I found that it ran large and I would have needed a 00.

Love this dress so much I rented it twice. I needed a last min dress so I had it messengered over and wore it again! Definetly needs a little fabric tape, but hangs perfectly in all the right places. Great fabric, well made. Go a size down, especially if you have small breast. I'm 5'3, 125, B cup. The 0R was perfect. Great length too!

Nice dress, bad fit
Size worn: 6L
Overall fit: Large
Rented for: Formal Affair
The dress was comfortable, but for a smaller bustline the wrap-style neckline gapped too much to fix with the fashion tape, pins, or in any way I could devise. The beading design is placed closer to the hip than the waist, not sure that is the most flattering area to emphasize.
