I ordered the 6R and 2R since the 4R was not avail. I had read that the dress runs large and that is very true. I wore the 2R and had to use double sided fashion tape to tape the dress to my torso to make it fit. I also had to use a safety pin in the waist to make the dress more form fitting as it was very loose. The belt that came with the dress was a whole different shade of purple and looked bad when I put it on since there was such a color variation. It would be helpful if when packing the rental for shipment that they had tried to match a belt that matched the color of the dress. Even the two dresses were different colors as I am assuming the color difference comes from having them professionally dry cleaned. The size 2 was a lighter shade and had more obvious wear than the 6 which was a deep beautiful plum color however it was way too big and I could not wear it. I had a long black satin belt that I used and it worked okay. The material of the dress gets wrinkled very easily so make sure if you are renting this that you have time to have it steamed out before your event. My other rentals from the runway had always been able to wear upon removal from the bag so I was kind of taken back and how much I had to do to make this dress wearable. I had even contacted RTR to tell them that I was not going to be wearing the dress because intially I was so disappointed when I put it on. But I had not choice as my event was the next day and I had nothing to wear. So after a whole container of double sided fashion tape I was able to manuver the dress enough to make it wearable and it worked. I did get compliments on the dress and I felt good in it after about an hour of messing with it. So just be patient if you rent this dress as you will need to make some minor adjustments or in my case major. The length was perfect and I am short...so keep that in mind too.
