love the dress. Got so much complement for the dress. I got a size 0 and 2 and both are in very good condition with no beads coming out or torn fabric. I ended up wearing size 0, it was a bite loose on the bust, but all over very nice dress. It was a statement piece for sure.

This dress was super cute for a work event in Vegas. It was glamorous without being too revealing. I would note that these are NOT vanity sizes, so you should order the next size up from what you might usually wear. Also, if you have any curves, the darts are cut a little bit high. Overall it looked great, but I would make sure you order two sizes the smaller one being a size larger than you normally wear anyway.

This dress runs very big. I ordered a 4 and a 6 because I was reading other clients said this ran small or true to size. I normally wear a 2 or a 4 and the 4 was too big.

Great dress!
Size worn: 8
Overall fit: Large
Rented for: Party
The dress was great. Normally, I wear either a 6 or 8; however, I read the previous reviews saying that the dress runs small. So, I rented the 8 and 10. I was swimming in the 10, and the 8 was still really big on me. If I rented the 6, I would have LOVED this dress. Either way, the dress was GORGEOUS! Even more so in person. There were a couple of problems with the boning structure of the dress poking you sometimes. Overall, this dress was great. I wish I got the right size.

I LOVED this dress! It was perfect for my birthday dinner and party with friends! I felt amazing with this dress on. I paired it with a leather jacket and gold sequins pumps. I didn't want to give it back. I wish I took more pictures of me in it but I was so caught up in the night I forgot... But definitely a must rent!!

Needed a dress for my 25th birthday in Vegas, and this was it! Beautiful dress! It seemed that the size was larger than I expected. Usually a 4, but the 2 fit the best. Best thing though, is that you can get both sizes, just in case! Also they send a prepackaged envelope to put the dresses in which makes it super easy to return! Just find a blue post office box, and you're set! Great experience!

I rented this for my daughter's Sweet Sixteen Hollywood Theme party as her second dress to change into. It was more beautiful then the picture. It fitted her to the tee. Everyone loved it. She made her grand entrance in a long Red and Silved ballgown and change into this dress to party in. I must say that I as well as her was very pleased. We will rent again.

Not good for me
Size worn: None
Overall fit: True to Size

I am 5'1", and smaller on the top than on the bottom. The 0 was an ok fit, but the 2 was huge. Also the zipper on the size kept bunching up. Luckily, I had ordered a backup dress, and I ended up wearing that because the zipper situation made my hips look twice as big!

Not a great fit
Size worn: 6
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
I ordered this for a Cocktail party for a Bar Mitzvah. It came and I quickly tried it on. The problem is the side zipper puckered outward and looked like I had a bulging hip on one side. I quickly called RTR and they couldn't of been nicer and more accommodating. They immediately sent me a different dress which fits perfectly. I can't wait to have another affair to go to and use RTR. I also would suggest speaking to a stylist there as they do guide you.

generally happy with it
Size worn: 4
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Formal Affair
I am generally a size 2 or 4 and I rented the size 4. It fit, but barely (which is why I stated that it runs small). Overall, I was happy with the dress and it is definitely a "statement." However, it did have some issues. First, it seemed a bit worn and I agree with the prior reviews that the hanger straps were problematic. I fixed it with dress tape, but it was annoying. Also, the dress kind of pooches out on the left so I felt like I had to constantly pull the dress down although I was probably the only one to notice it. It doesn't fit the way it looks on the model - she must a complete waif because it is much more tight fitting. I was glad I rented it and happy with the experience, and I got a ton of compliments on it.

This dress was amazing, it was my first time renting from RTR and they did not disappoint. I got so many compliments through the entire night and the dress fit perfectly. I would tell anyone to rent this dress you will definitely get noticed. The dress was a little loose in the bust but the double sided tape that RTR sent fixed that problem.

Loved this dress. The 4 was a little tight on me, but the 6 was perfect. I wore this to my company Christmas party and got a ton of compliments. Its flashy and fun without being over the top, and super comfortable. The side zipper occasionally would pooch out a little but it wasn't anything major. Stays up, never slid down like some strapless dresses. Would totally rent again!

Amazing Dress
Size worn: 6
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Party
I received both a 6 and an 8 because sometimes you never know how the fabric will fit. The 8 fit fine, but the zipper kept bunching up. When I tried the 6, it was snug, but perfect. I didn't have to keep pulling it up all night or anything. I wore this for a chic fashion fund-raising event that my company was putting on, and I received great compliments.

Perfect Birthday Dress!
Size worn: 8
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Party
I rented this dress for my 22nd birthday party and I loved every minute of it! The dress looks loose on the model but it is in fact very fitting and very slimming. I felt great all night. The only annoying thing about wearing this dress is the straps that are used to hang the dress always come out. You have to keep tucking them in but it was such a fun dress to wear! It's a good dress for people with curves.

I've been dying to wear this dress for about a year and final was able to rent it for my sorority's semi formal. It fit great and it was everyone's favorite dress of the night. One guy said, "This is the best dress of the night. It's like you're classy with the black but also here to party with the gold." If you're looking to impress or just for a really fun dress, this one is the way to go.

I loved this dress, but wish I would have worn a size up on it...it definitely runs true to size! I would have felt more comfortable with the size 8. I am a super small bust, but this dress played up all of my other assets. It is definitely a dress that catches the attention of everyone! I got compliments all night on it. Would definitely recommend this dress!

Was complimented on it all night! For fit, the chest was a little small (I'm a 34D) and I had to use fashion tape to make sure it didn't slip down too much. It was gorgeous and looked like a million bucks. This was my first Rent The Runway experience, and won't be my last!

I didn't understand this dress. The last Robert Rodriguez dress I rented was a 4 and was too small. So I sent it back and this time the 4 was too big. It was loose in the hip area (I'm a 29 waist) and the top kept sliding down . I loved the look of the dress so much, but probably needed a size smaller and didn't have time to exchange it. I woudl definitely recommend trying it out as it's very pretty in person.

This was the first dress I ever rented from RTR and disappointingly, it didn't look presentable because where the zipper ends after unzipping it was sticking out and did not fit like the picture shows. I am 5'5" and wear size xs with a 34 b small bust, this dress did not hug me everywhere and just felt like a garbage bag. I still think its a pretty dress but I didn't end up wearing it.

I felt this dress ran a little small. I usually wear an 8 or 10 which is what I rented. I wish I would have picked the size up instead of the size down for my backup. I wore the 10 and it fit like a glove. The dress is just as gorgeous in person. I wore this to my Bachelorette Party and received so many compliments on it. I would rent it again for sure but a size up! The only complain I have is the 'boning' in the dress kept poking out and pricking me every so often. I think going with the size up would have eliminated this from happening. However, the dress was so AMAZING I didn't mind it. Pain is beauty, right?!?!

I definitely should have believed the reviews on this dress. I didnt think the hanger strings bothered me that much however they were a little long. The problem I had with this dress was the fit. It bulges on the side where the model has her hand and was completely unflattering! If you have any hips at all, do not rent this dress. I loved the look of the dress, black dress with gold sequins that's why I gave this dress 1 star. I sent the dress back right away and didn't even bother wearing it!

This dress had a horrible bulge at the bottom of the zipper. Too much fabric there. It was not wearable. RTR replaced it. I didn't see anyone else mention this. Hope it was just the one dress.

I loved this dress. It was super cute and sassy. I got a lot of compliments. I am short though and it was too long for me. I was able to fold it under to make it shorter, but that would be my only caution for the petite girls. Overall, super sexy and fun for a big night out.

I'm 5'2", 36C, and athletic build. I wore this dress to my "Fling before the ring" party on July 2. It was a hit! I ordered the dress in 10 and 12. 10 fit like a glove but I wanted it with a little more flexibility so I could eat, drink, and dance! The 12 fit great, just had to pin the sides to make sure the dress wouldn't ride down. I wore the dress with 5 1/2" heels and it was perfect! If I could attach a picture, I would but I don't see any link to upload! Thanks RTR!

Fun dress, but I was unable to wear it. I have a petite, lean frame, and bunching on the left side of the dress below the model's hand stuck out in a way that was extremely unflattering. Further, the overall bodice of the dress did not hug my body and fell a bit flat. Imagine this is a gorgeous dress on the right body, though.
