That no one else had the same dress as me-- I felt so classy too!
Size worn: 6R
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
Definitely don't plan your shoes until you check the length of the dress on you... I ended up having to wear flats!

I loved the little details RTR added - like garment tape to ensure the strapless dress stayed put!
Size worn: 8R
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Formal Affair
It was snug/fitted through the bust and natural waist, then flared out into a really pretty A-line. It's a great dress for people who have a smaller waist and can flatter bigger hips! It is a long dress - I'm 5'9" and I ordered the "long'... it really wasn't necessary! The regular length probably would have been just fine.. and I wear a 35" inseam! I ordered a 6L and an 8L as my 'just in case" and I went with the 8 because of the fit - being able to breathe is important right? Either way, it was a gorgeous dress and just moved beautifully when I walked! I wore it to a Marine Corps Ball and received many compliments - it made me feel like a princess.

Truly a ball gown, which was perfect for my event.
Size worn: 8L
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Formal Affair
The dress runs extremely small, which is how I ended up in the 8L. Also the long is very long! I am 5'6" and my heels did not end up being high enough to counter the length. Even with 4 inch heels on the dress was still sweeping the ground, but as shown in the model picture that is part of the style.

Gorgeous, if over the top.
Size worn: None
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Wedding
I didn't end up wearing this dress, but it is stunning. Given its sweeping romance, it would have better suited a gala/benefit attendee than a wedding guest. Also, as others have emphasized, it runs small. I have a slight figure and the 2 barely zipped around my rib cage. The 6 was a bit roomy and would have needed fashion tape at the waist and bust in order to stay up securely. The 4 likely would have been perfect, but alas was unavailable. Also note: I am 5'7" and the "long" was way too long; I would have been tripping over it all night. Sizing issues aside, the fabric is a really handsome, heavy blush silk and the tailoring is exquisite -- princessy, yes, but elegant and restrained.

great dress
Size worn: 6L
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Formal Affair
Beautiful dress! runs EXTREMELY small though. i am 5'10" and normally wear a size 2 to 4 in dresses. However, the 6L was even tight on me. But the dress still looked beautiful. I would recommend, just make sure you order at least a size up. Also, it's small in the bust. I wear a 34B and it made me seem like at least a C.

Great Princess Dress
Size worn: 8L
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
This was one of my options for a black tie wedding. I am 5'11" and have an hourglass shape. I will typically wear a size 6 for dresses that are A-Line and fit at the waist. However I'll typically wear a size 10 for pencil skirts that fit at the hips. The 8L fit perfectly. However, went with another dress as I felt it was too "bridesmaid-ish" for a wedding.

Princess Worthy! Watch sizes.
Size worn: 2R
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Formal Affair
This is a beautiful, beautiful gown. Perfect to wear to a palace or The Palace (NYC), and very tasteful. It is quite formal – princess worthy, so I wouldn’t recommend it for a wedding because you might outshine the bride! Note well: These are European cuts, so the 2R, which is probably the equivalent of a UK 34, is more like a US 0. Unfortunately, I didn’t get to wear the gown to my event because I’m more of an American XS 2/4, which is probably more like the 6R in this gown.
