Too big in the top. Had a funny budge under the bust. Wore it because I had no other options but I did not like the fit. 

I loved how this dress emphasized my curves but minimized my stomach. Only reason I didn’t wear it was the slit in the front was much shorter than I thought. Would recommend fashion tape to keep the shoulders on better.

This dress was very comfortable. The ruching in the back and front makes it very forgiving. Perfect if you carry weight around the middle or are postpartum. 

This dress was lovely in theory but the fit was awful. The fabric would not lay flat and the skirt rose kept riding up whenever I walked. I had to pin the top just to keep it from sliding all the way off. Even though I steamed the fabric, it was completely wrinkled again by the time we arrived at our venue 30 mins later. I would not recommend this dress. 

It fit perfectly — form-fitting in all the right places, and the gathered design made it super flattering (even in the back!). The little dip in the front that shows some cleavage but it’s not too revealing. True to size and really comfortable to wear all night. I paired it with short heels and the length hit right at the bottom of shoes — just perfect, not dragging. Highly recommend!

It has just enough stretch and  slimming effect.  It’s amazing.  I will be renting this dress again for sure.  If you get this dress you can get it in your usual size and not worry about bit.  

Get your normal size, it’s sized correctly. I sized up because so many designer brands run small, and it was a tad too big so I should have ordered my normal size. It’s very comfortable and so flattering! I wore it to a masquerade ball fundraiser. 

I ordered a 14L and a 16R and ended up wearing the 14L. I ALMOST feel like I could have gone one size down but the fit is great!  I am 5’5 (and a half) and teeter between 200-206 regularly and it was a very comfortable fit and lined nicely!  

This dress was comfortable and flattering at an outdoor formal wedding. Note that it is pretty low-cut. The dress was a bit loose in the chest area for me (I was tempted to adjust it pretty often) but that didn't affect how it looked. The front slit is revealing but not excessively so. The gathers / ruching of the fabric is very flattering.

The dress was great!  The material is very giving.  The style is nice especially the back.  It was a great choice!

Wore this as a replacement for my original RTR order (which didn't work with my body type) and it ended up being the perfect dress for my best friend's wedding. I was also the officiant and I felt it was flattering yet remained modest enough to stand in front of all her friends and family. The material has a good amount of stretch to it and is extremely comfortable.

*Note: I wore both shapewear and a minimizer bra with it.

Slightly low cut and has a high slit in the front. But it’s not something that is a deal breaker. Absolutely beautiful. I purchased it. 

Loved this dress that hugs your curves and flatters. Just beware this is a fairly low neckline. 

I wore this dress to a family wedding and it was great! I thought the 4 would fit, but was surprised that the 2 fit perfectly. I'm 40 years old, approx 130 lbs and typically wear a size 4. I have small breasts and the low cut of the top of the dress didn't bother me. The dress was form fitting, but not in an uncomfortable way. I wore Spanx, but was surprised that when I took it off, it wasn't really necessary with the rushing of the dress in the front and back. The only negative was how high the front slip goes. I was a bit self conscious about this when sitting at dinner and had to bring the fabric up to fold over my legs... I would definitely rent again! I was able to dance comfortably. I wish I had a photo of just me in the dress at the actual wedding. Photos attached are when the dress first arrived and I was checking to see what fit (bad lighting, but hopefully helpful for others to see the fit, etc.)!  

The dress is super comfortable but very low cut.  I wish it had offered some internal support in the chest area.  There is no structure to the dress, which is why it’s probably so comfortable but also why I feel like it didn’t flatter my curvy figure.

This dress was beautiful! It fit well and was so comfortable.  Perfect for an evening garden wedding. The chest was a lower cut than I imagined. I did have to adjust it throughout the evening to not have as much cleavage. Overall loved this dress!

This dress hugged my curves in all the right places and made me feel like a million bucks! Ran slightly large - right now I’m a pretty solid 10/12, but the 8 was my perfect fit. I did use some fashion tape to secure the bust line to my bra, but that is more a result of the bra I had and not so much the dress. I am 5’4” and it was the perfect length in 2.5” heels. I felt amazing and comfortable all night long!

Wore to an outdoor wedding. The material was very comfortable!

The fabric is a bit heavy (not for outdoor/summer) and was difficult to iron/steam, but other than that it was a comfortable, pretty dress that felt sexy but didn’t show a lot of skin. I am small chested and did have to pin the shoulders, they seem baggy, but I was able to wear a regular bra with it!

This dress is so comfortable and stretchy. I am 5'9 so the long worked perfect, even with heels. I received so many compliments too!

Wore this with low (2.5 in) heels and the length was perfect. TTS with lots of stretch. I wish I had pajamas in this material! Easy to zip up solo. Many compliments - would wear this exact dress again in a heartbeat! It was my backup dress and easily beat out my original option. 

I rented this dress to wear as a bridesmaid to my best friend's wedding. It was initially my backup, but the fit was so flattering (tummy-slimming, hugging the hips in all the right ways to enhance that hourglass shape) that I had to go with it. I'm so glad I did! If you're small chested like me, the fit on top is a little loose, but with a plunging bra it's not a problem. The slit in the dress goes high so buy short spanx if you're planning on shapewear! 

I wasn't planning to use RTR for the gala event we attended, but took a leap of faith thanks to the pics posted in the reviews. Which is why I'm posting. I felt VERY confident in this look. And like a woman, not a girl dressing up. Or matronly which can happen with my body type. The slit in the front was a bit higher than anticipated. My friends and spouse assured me there was nothing too revealing. I felt secure with the gold wrap, that really helped it come together!!

Perfect length for 5'0 with heels. 
Fit great and very forgiving. 

The dress was lovely but didn't do anything for my straight and narrow figure. I ordered 8 long and I was very happy with the length--I am 5'10

Compliments all night long! I could wear a regular bra under it and the roughing makes it very flattering. The split made it sexy but wasn’t overwhelming when standing or sitting at a table. It was easy to dance in asd well. 

Fit perfectly and comfortable. Very flattering. Wore to a black tie but could have watched tv on the sofa in it!! Simple and perfect 

The 6R was a little big on me, but totally worked. Probably would have worn the 4 or even 4P if I had it. Like others said, runs big and long. Didn't matter though, it was so cozy, so stretchy (would be great pregnant), and super flattering in the rouching. 

Soft, stretchy fabric. Very flattering. A bit low cut, and my boobs and shoulders didn’t fill out the top. Sexy slit but not too sexy. I used fashion tape to keep the shoulders from falling down. I could have sized down given the stretch. Would rent this again!

Loved the draping in the front AND back! I had a 2-inch heel and dress hit too if foot, so maybe go up if youre 5'7 or over. Never had to adjust, felt comfy and beautiful all night!

Fit great! A little stretch meant it didn’t pinch and was amazingly comfortable. Lots of compliments.

Beautiful fabric and nice fit - i sized up to be safe, but you can order true to size or size down on this as fabric is very stretchy. Picked as a solid choice to a wedding where i didn’t know anyone and was really happy :) 

For ladies over 5’9  - take care to order the long length. my backup size was a regular and length and fit was noticeably different. I ended up in a 14L. 

As a bridesmaid for my cousins wedding, I rented a few dresses to be safe, and this was not my first choice… however, once I tried it on, I was sold! It fit like a glove, thanks to some stretch in the fabric, and looked tailor-made. Sometimes a great fit is all you need. 

Size 14 Regular for my mom who is a bit under 5’-5”. She felt comfortable and looked flattering on her. Maybe a bit too long if you don’t wear high heels but she loved it! 
Keep in mind to not mess with the sleeves, just let them hug and they are meant to be a bit baggy and flowy. If you try to “fix” them or pull them up like my mom was doing before, the dress will look unflattering.
