I should have ordered a 6 which I usually do but because of some of the reviews I ordered one size up. This would also be really cute to belt at the waist but I didn't think of that until I was walking out the door.

The color of this dress is not as red as it looks here....it almost had an orange-y color to it. But other than that, I loved the way it fit and it was great for a wedding where we were dancing all night!!

I needed a dress for Winter Formal (I'm a 9th grader). I usually wear a 4 so I ordered a 2 and a 4. When the dress arrived the 2 fit but the night of the formal it was a little loose. I could have gone for a 0. I added a ribbon around the waist. Great dress. Like others have said it's not a true red as you can see my escort for the dance had on a red shirt. Can't wait for the next event so I can find another great dress!

Overall fit: True to Size

fabulous and fun dress. It was so cute and sexy at the same time. My husband asked if I could keep it, and he never really cares about that kind of thing. Pictures don't do it justice. The vibrant red/orange is beautiful, and the black contrast trim makes it really different. It stands out very nicely. I didn't love the black contrast zipper in back, but nevertheless, this also makes the dress different and eye catching. It was comfortable and easy to dance in. No complaints on fit. I wore it for an outdoor wedding. People came up to me all night complimenting and asking about it. Men at the wedding told my husband I looked like the girl from the fiat commercials!

We changed from our bridesmaids dresses into "party dresses" halfway through the reception so I turned to RTR for an unforgettable dress. Loved hitting the dance floor in this dress. At 5'9" I was keeping an eye on the length but there were no wardrobe malfunctions. Orange undertones in the red so since its not a pure red it might not work on every skin tone. My mom, sisters, aunts, cousins, and other wedding guests couldn't believe I rented this dress!

The color stood out and every where I walked, heads turned!
Size worn: 2
Overall fit: Large
Rented for: Party
I usually wear a 4, but I chose the 2 since it was strapless and I didn't want to be tugging on it all night to keep it up since I have a smaller chest. It was a little tight in the ribcage, but it kept my posture at an A+ all night. :) It was really comfortable though and the color is just fabulous. I wore it to a company holiday party and the length hit right at the knee so it was tasteful to wear in front of the husband's boss. I was definitely sad to mail this one back!!

For me, this dress ran a little big on top. I usually wear a size 4, and it was a little big but worked fine. I belted it to help hold everything in place, and I really ended up liking the way the belt looked with the dress. This dress is so fun. It has great movement and sweet little pockets. The contrasting zipper in back is another fun detail. Overall, this dress hit a home run. I received tons of compliments on it.

I ordered a 4, with the 2 for my backup size and ended up wearing the 2. They both fit, but the top was a little more snug in the 2, which made dancing more comfortable (not having to worry about constantly pulling the top up). I wore it to a November wedding and got tons of compliments! I love this dress style, where it's tight on top and flares out at the waist - very flattering and forgiving. I would totally wear this again!

Rented this dress for a wedding. The color was great and thoroughly enjoyed having pockets. The length was great for me, however this dress adds to the many reason why I wish I had a bigger chest; it is very fitted for at least a C cup and long torso.

I rented this dress for an outdoor Derby party. The dress is flattering and it fit exactly the way it looks on the model. I really loved that it has pockets. It is a little uncomfortable at the top because the midsection is very fitted and the top sort of poked in to my underarms. It ended up being a great choice for derby!

My dress was bold color and unique in comparison to the other guests at the wedding. The other women at my table were in love with my dress and how the color complimented my tan and dark wavy hair. They all wanted to know where I got the dress from. Needless to say I should have some RTR referrals heading my direction.

I wore this to a outdoor vineyard wedding. I paired it with Rent the Runway earrings that were a "Mystery accessory", a large black sun hat and black wedges. Everyone loved the dress and were envious of the hat in the hot Virginia June sun. I had to go up a size given my bust size in this dress. That was the only downfall. Good thing I choose the size 8 as my backup size.

The fabric is really unique & is very high quality. I don't recommend wearing this dress somewhere you plan on dancing a lot. It tends to turn & slip down. I regret not using the fashion tape to keep it in place. I was constantly tugging it up all night & I wore the smaller size. It looked very cute in pictures though!

I loved the look and style of this dress and was looking forward to wearing this fun, flirty dress; unfortunately, everything fit great except for the bust. I was overflowing and decided it wasn't quiiiiiite appropriate to wear. Major bummer, but RTR was super accommodating and I look forward to renting again soon!

This dress is so hot! I may have to rent it again!
Size worn: 4
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Party
Rented the dress for a work Christmas party but seriously under-estimated the sex factor! So I wore a little black bolero with it and it still looked great! And I should explain, I ordered the 6 and the 4 since I am usually a 6 (but I think that may be limited by my hips) Since the skirt is flared and the dress is strapless, I opted for the 4 to keep it up all night. I looked and felt like a million bucks! Can't wait to rent this again and let the sexy show!

Great color - sizing an issue
Size worn: 8
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Wedding
In general, I'm a size 6 -- however, my chest often makes me have to size up to an 8 (oh, breasts... they are a gift and a curse). When I use RTR, I read the reviews on the dresses, but almost always end up going with a 6, and having an 8 as a backup. I wish I'd done an 8/10 combo. This dress fit perfectly except when it came to the bust. Way. Too. Tight. I kind of cringe looking at photos of myself from the wedding I wore this to, because I just looked so.. smushed. So, for those ample-chested ladies, when in doubt, definitely size up one, maybe too sizes. I will say, however, that the color is amazing, and did get me a lot of compliments.

Great color and cut
Size worn: 4
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Party
The color of this dress looks richer in person. The cut is great-- I liked how the subtle sweetheart neckline enhanced my not-so-ample bust. My only complaint is that the boning in the bodice kind of poked into my sides-- as a result of this, I wore my backup dress, as I was going to be in it for hours.

Bit too much for the 'ladies'
Size worn: 10
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Party
Very nice dress, great color, construction, length and the bodice was great....except my chest was a bit too large and there was considerable overflow and by considerable I mean I looked like a cartoon character.....Jessica Rabbit in a cocktail dress. Ladies, if you have a very large chest compared to your waist, this will not work. Unless that's the look you're going for...

Cute dress but pretty casual
Size worn: 8
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Party
I got this dress as a back up for NYE because RTR was very picked over. It's hard to tell from picture but this dress is pretty casual. The fabric was also not a bright red as pictured...don't know if that just happens overtime with use and wear/tear. I may or may not rent again for a more casual affair like a day wedding or less dressy holiday party. It was just ok.
