I felt so elegant in this dress, I almost didn't recognize myself!

Size worn: 4L

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Formal Affair

The dress fit perfectly, though there was a little extra room in the chest area, it didn't matter because the dress holds its shape so well. The dress allows you to move your knees only about a foot apart - maybe a little more - but this didn't pose any serious issues for me. Above all, the cut of the dress was incredibly flattering and the color was beautiful. I couldn't be happier!

This dress was AMAZING!!

Size worn: 4L

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Formal Affair

I loved this dress! I wore it for my military ball and was really surprised that the size 4 fit me because my hips are rather large. The color is really amazing and the pattern is really awesome intricate. I got so many compliments on it all night. It is a little hard to walk in because the the fabric cuts off right before your knees. Overall though, I recommend this dress, it is truly stunning!

Dang!

Size worn: 2L

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Wedding

I wore this dress to a black tie wedding, and it was a knockout. Knowing that Vera Wang gowns usually run small and are designed for stick-straight girls, I was nervous my butt would be too big. But to my surprise, my usual dress size (size 2L) fit just perfectly! In fact, the waist on my 26" waistline was even a touch too big. As for length, I am 5'7", and in 4" heels, it was perfect. One word of caution: the description describes the fabric as "stretch faille." I warn you it DOES NOT STRETCH whatsoever. So be extra careful when ordering your size.

I tried this dress on in the showroom and I knew it was the one. Actually, it was a dress I never even intended to try on but the assistant at the showroom was excellent and gave my the confidence to test it out. The second I put it on I was sold. I really think the showroom takes RTR to the next level. If you are in the NYC area I would highly suggest making an appointment before your next rental. I was also able to work with the assistant and pick out matching jewelry for the event. Thanks so much Showroom staff!! You did a fantastic job. It was my favorite RTR rental ever (and I've had alot) with endless compliments. The pattern of the dress is beautiful. I think it works best for someone with a narrow frame and small chest. Oddly, there are two zippers, one for the corset and one for the dress. However, the corset inside is alot smaller than the rest of the dress, so the back of the dress was fully zipped, but the corset underneath was left open at the top. I would suggest sizing up on the backup especially if you have a larger chest. This dress is utterly beautiful, cant say enough about it

Fantastic stylist. Fantastic service. Fantastic gown.

Size worn: 12R

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Formal Affair

This is a beautiful gown that is very form fitting. I am broader on top than bottom, so it was very snug on top and fit perfectly on the bottom. There is a built-in corset in the bust, so you don't need to wear a bra. The fabric was a beautiful silk print that was very unique. I would highly recommend this gown to someone who wants to highlight their curves.

Show off those lady curves!

Size worn: 0L

Overall fit: Small

Rented for: Formal Affair

This is a gorgeous style that definitely amps up your curves! Just beware that the fabric has no stretch. The hips are very fitted and I would not recommend this style for pear body types, or anyone that carries their weight in the hips or thighs. I am wearing flats in this picture, as it runs a bit short. This style is best for heights 5’8” and under.

Too Small

Size worn: 12L

Overall fit: Small

Rented for: Wedding

The dress did not fit. I wore my back up dress. When the reviews say the dress has no stretch, the dress REALLY has no stretch. The material is like a plasticy polyester material. It's a beautiful dress; I just expected a heavier material from the picture. It really is a very pretty dress but the material does not feel like $2000.
