This dress was awesome! Very comfortable, and mostly ran true to size. The only thing was that the bust was a little tight, but that really didn't get in the way of anything and it was still comfortable and I could dance in it easily!

I wore this dress for a NYE party. I have to say that RTR never fails me when it comes to my dress rentals. After eating like crazy over the holidays, I was scared to try on a dress that would expose my bigger areas. This dress sucks it in and hugs your body in a good way. I felt amazing!

Gorgeous Dress!

Overall fit: True to Size

I loved this dress - wore it to a work Christmas party and it was the perfect combination of sexy and conservative. The dress was in excellent condition and showed up in tags, never worn! It was quite fitted at the waist and hugged hips as opposed to being a sheath - style. Spanx helped keep the tummy in! Wore with black pumps and green and white drop earrings from RTR too.

I wore this to my fiance's company holiday cocktail party. It was a great mix of fun and sexy but not too over the top for a company event. The sleeves were great for warmth and also made it a bit more conservative. I was worried that, being a short gal, the length would be too long but it was perfect! I think it would work for girls of any height, just know it will be more of a mini if you are tall. The bust wasn't too tight, which sometimes happens for me with dresses with this neckline. I got compliments all night and got to share the RTR secret with a few lucky ladies!

Great NYE dress!

Overall fit: True to Size

I wore this dress for a NYE party and it was perfect. The fit was pretty true to size and the long sleeves helped with the cold temperatures. The slip under the lace can be a little see through so make sure all under garments are nude colored. My boyfriend loved this dress too and I am thinking of renting it again. It would be great so really any winter event!

I love this dress and received so many compliments! My boyfriend even offered to buy the dress after he saw it on me :) It arrived clean and had no signs of wear and tear. All of the lace hems were in perfect condition. I wore the dress for a family Christmas party and the length was perfect, not too short. The only complaint was that the sleeves were about an inch too long and not as tight as they appear in the model's picture. Overall, I would highly recommend this dress!

I wore this for my friends birthday party and felt so great all night long. It fit very comfortably and I was able to dance without worying about it being too tight or short. I normally would not rent a LBD since I own so many, but as soon as I put this on I fell in love with it. I recommend this for women of all shapes and sizes!

Such a great dress! I wore this on a date and my boyfriend couldn't stop staring! It has a tiny bit of stretch, but runs a bit narrow in the hips if you are bigger on bottom like me, so I kept having to pull it down when walking around. Otherwise, fit perfectly! Will definitely rent this one again :)

Incredibly classy yet bold!
Size worn: 2
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Party
This dress was beautiful, classy and made me feel incredible. I also thought this dress was very flattering and made me feel thinner than the backup dress I chose. I ended up wearing a different dress (I chose this dress as my 2nd style) but it wasn't without great hesitation and 2 days of debating. I wish I had another party to wear this dress to because I would definitely rent it again. The kate spade new york japanese pearl earrings were also an amazing compliment to this dress. It was like the two were made together. For $15 I would definitely recommend renting those to go with it! No other jewelry is even necessary. I also bought a pair of opaque black tights that looked nice under the dress but I ended up going bare-legged. =] Overall the fit was great. True to size I'd say. I rented a 2 and a 4 and would've probably worn the 2. The zipper in the back is easy to pull up too. Even in the 2 I was able to get into and out of the dress by myself, I didn't need to have someone zip me up or unzip me, which is always a plus.

Unfortunately, the dress I wanted did not ship on time, even though it was guaranteed. I had to scramble on the phone with a very helpful customer service girl who was able to find another dress that was available in my size to be shipped to the wedding location. The dress was not nearly what I had hoped. I wore it, but it was not the same style, it came down to the very last minute (literally peering out of the window waiting for the UPS driver to deliver the afternoon of the wedding). All in all, very disappointed with this RTR experience- all of my other ones has been great.

I got 2 sizes, 2 & 4 and the smaller size, the sleeves were too baggy and pushed my boobs down. And the size 4, was just way too big on me. I really wanted to wear it, I love lace dresses, but it didn't fit my body.

Love the style of this dress. Ordered 4 and 6. Size 6 was a little too snug around the waist and it caused the dress to shift around hips which made the exposed zipper down back of dress become crooked. That was the only downfall. So many compliments

It was a great dress to show off my legs while still being classy. It fit perfectly and was really comfy. I loved the sleeves for the night since it got a smidge chilly, but I didn't want to be hot when we went to the bars and danced later for girls night out.

This dress was a hit!!! I received compliments from the time I put it on till the end of the night. My 15 year old saw me in it and said, "Wow mommy you lodk great! You're gonna knock them out"... When a 15 year old approves, you know you look great! The dress was well made and the lace was easy to wear. It does however run small. I would advise wearing spanks with it. Also this dress is best worn in the winter months. I will definately order it again. Wish I could keep this one.

I rented this dress for my 30th b-day. I wanted a dress that was a little more sophisticated and something I could wear in December. This dress was perfect for the occasion - it was very cute and kept me warm! I loved it! The black lace on the white lining was very pretty. I paired the dress with black tights and ankle boots.

I was really excited for this dress but I was disappointed. The white fabric underneath the lace really stands out and looks a little funny. Also, I'm a little heavier chested than normal right now and heavier in the middle and it really made me not only look boxy but very wide shouldered. I'm in between an 8/10 right now so I think if you size up it might look better.

RTR added this dress to my order when the original dress I rented wasn't available. I didn't end up wearing this for my event because it didn't go with the 1970's theme, but it is a beautiful dress! I ended up wearing it to a smaller holiday party the next evening and I felt great in it. It fit perfectly and I got so many compliments. I'm sorry I forgot to take a picture! I would definitely rent it again.

I received this dress as my back up to another one I ordered. I never wanted this dress to come, but since the size 8 that I had as a back up in my main dress wasnt available, they sent me this one. It was way too small, and thankfully my main dress fit perfectly and I didnt need this one. I dont like the exposed zipper in the back either. That look is not for me, I think its kinda trashy when wearing that to a wedding.

Cute, short party dress
Size worn: 6
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Party
This dress is pretty much true to the photo. It's really on-trend at the moment, so I got a ton of compliments from women. Men (my husband) loved it because it's really short. And I mean SHORT. I do happen to be quite tall (5'10") so I think it would be a good length on some shorter ladies, but I wore it to a dinner party and I was pretty happy I had my napkin to cover me up a bit. It fits pretty true to size, except that it's a little tight in the bust area. If I was bigger than a C, I could not have fit into the 6. As it was, I thought about wearing the 8 for more room in the bust, but the hubby liked the shorter one. Also, it's a little shifty, so it tends to bring attention to your tummy if you have one. It's a fun dress; I'd probably rent it again, but maybe on a night where Im not sitting (or eating).

i rented this dress in a size 2 and a 4, and ended up wearing neither. in fact, i wouldn't give it any stars if the website would allow it. seeing as how this dress had no previous reviews, i thought i'd take a chance because i really liked the way it looked in the picture. i would be going to a party that was indorr/outdoor and thought a long-sleeved dress would keep me from freezing. the size 2 fit well on my body, but **the sleeves were much wider/baggier on me than you'd think.** they were not fitted to my arms. overall this dress gave the impression of being WAY too conservative and wasn't at all sexy like the picture. it has so much potential that just did not come across for me. i ended up wearing a dress from my own closet.
