Unique and awesome fit
I am very petite and was really worried this would be too big. It was perfect, not too tight but tight enough I could go without a bra. Loved the pockets, loved the sparkle and loved the fun silhouette!

The dress fit great and definitely stood out among the usual black cocktail dresses!
This is a great dress! The actual color is almost a rusty copper and there is definitely sparkle. A 0 was a little tight, but a 2 was not available as a back-up size for my time period. The dress has a little stretch, and I was worried I wouldn't be able to zipper it up, but once I did, it didn't feel tight at all. The skirt had the perfect volume and was a great length. I wore this with no bra and was not at all worried about any mishaps. I received many compliments and I would definitely wear this again.

PERFECT: POCKETS?!
This is my favorite dress I have ever worn. I ordered it last minute, and it came on time and fit perfectly. I looked stunning and different from everyone else... The best part I didn't even see in the description... IT HAS POCKETS! You can't see them from the outside and they are very hidden. The color of the dress is much deeper than in the picture. Wish I could own this forever, four days wasn't enough!!

First big party of the college semester!
It fit quite snugly. I had to remember to pull it down so it would not get scrunched up at the waist, but with alcohol and friends and such, it was hard to remember. I didn't feel self-conscious about my stomach which is why I rented this dress compared to others, and I looked better compared to everyone else!
I didn't need to wear a bra, though in retrospect, fabric tape might have been a good idea to hold the ladies in place. I felt like a princess in this dress!

Wore this out in Vegas for my birthday, and it was the perfect party dress!
Tight across the bust (and that's saying something with my build!), so I sized up. Other than that, it was super flattering, and such a fun dress (loved the fit and flare skirt!).

Everytime I've rented open ceremony I love the fit!
This dress got a ton of compliments. The color is truly amazing in person. RTR pics really do not do it justice. Boobs were kind of all the way out but I didn't mind it at all. Great fit on the waist. Also, length was pretty perfect for me!

Sexy and flattering!
I wore this for my bachelorette party out at the bars and I had guys craning their necks all night long! I'm 5'1 and the length where I wasn't worried about showing my butt while dancing. I felt sexy, but not skanky which was exactly what I was going for :)

I love love love this dress and got so many compliments! It has pockets which is great and fit like a glove. The pic doesn't show it, but the dress is great on the boobies, holds them up and perky (my husband loved it lol). Perfect for a rehearsal dinner or causal wedding! Would def rent again!

Couldn't wear it
I read all the reviews before picking this dress, and the description where it says to rent your regular size and a size down, so thats what I did. It was a beautiful dress, but it didnt fit, I couldnt get it to zip up. It doesnt help that it has a side zipper that doesnt go all the way to the top, so I could barely even get the thing off me. Im very petite at 5'0 and 105lbs, and my chest is a 32b so its not like big boobs are a problem. I sent it back immediately and wore something else. So overall I was very disappointed, since this was like just throwing money out.

Celebrating my 28th birthday at a beautiful top floor restaurant of downtown Atlanta - perfect night
The dress was gorgeous! So much prettier in person. Sized down based on the reviews and the 6 fit perfectly. I wear a 34D-DD and was able to skip the bra and not have too much showing. Highly recommend this dress - complimented all night - would definitely rent again!

Absolutely perfect fit, and so comfortable!
Usually because I have a very small bust size I wear a 2 in dresses, so I'm VERY glad I talked to someone at RTR before I ordered! She suggested a 4 based on my measurements and sure enough, it fit like a glove. The material was so nicely structured that I didn't have to wear a bra, but it felt comfortable all night! I loved the unusual color of the dress, and got so many compliments on it throughout the night! I felt amazing!

It's beautiful! The color is so rich and the sparkle really made it stand out!
The fit runs true to size, I have a larger chest so it didn't require a bra. It was so comfortable, and an absolutely show stopper. I wore this for my bachelorette party and I'm glad I did!!

If only I could have kept it!
This dress is my favorite thing I've ever worn!! I felt so confident in this dress. I received so many compliments. This dress has a copper look to it and an amazing fabric! The pockets make the dress more perfect then it already is! The fit for me was great because I have bigger hips and a tiny waist so I went with a zero rather then the 2, but the 2 would have fit well also! It was just my preference. I have a smaller chest, so I wore light stick on padding instead of a bra and it worked great for me. My only complaint is the fabric on the underarm section rubbed my skin enough to make it a little irritated by the end of the night. It was worth it though to have been able to wear this gorgeous dress! I would defiantly order again!!

Love this dress - received many compliments!
Fits true to size - I'm petite and 5'3" and the 2 fit just right. The cleavage was perfect - not too much (I'm a B cup). Lightweight, the metallic fabric is not itchy, super comfortable and is well made.

Beautiful playful dress
I wore this to a friend's wedding and loved every minute. The color is great and the fit is flattering. I styled it over another skirt, which added some extra volume and a playful pettycoat look to it, and wore with a cropped black leather jacket and black velvet pumps. The top fits true to size but doesn't have much give around the ribcage. The bust is very low cut and I wasn't comfortable skipping a bra so I just let it show (luckily it was black & copper so it matched). I got tons of compliments and had a blast dancing in it!

Sexy and fun! Lots of compliments!
Yes, you will have cleavage. It was a bit daring while still being sweet. Loved the color, more shiny in person. No stretch!
The 8 fit great everywhere but I chose the 6 because it was tighter in the bust so I wouldn't need a bra. I danced all might in this beauty!

Longer and Lower than on Model
Beautiful dress, received a ton of compliments and I loved the fit and flare of the dress. It did have a lot of cleavage though. Able to be worn without a bra (I wore a nubra). I suggest ordering a size up for backup. I was able to fit into my usual size but it was a tight zip up.

This dress is an absolute SHOW STOPPER!! It is comfortable and so fun! You'll feel very glamorous.
The neckline seems a little daunting, and I have a small chest so I wasn't too worried. The lining of the dress is SO soft that you were comfortable the entire time. AND it has POCKETS! Total win!
I wore this to my college graduation and everyone was all about it! STAND OUT! WEAR THIS DRESS!

I wore this dress for my sorority's formal, and I LOVED it! I got so many compliments all night long
The color on this dress is AMAZING. Its definitely more of a rose-gold metallic color than the model picture. The material was also amazing, something different, so I liked it. The fit overall was pretty good. I normally wear a size 2 but wore the 0 for this because the 2 was a little lose. Also this dress is probably better for bustier girls otherwise the chest area looks really lose and flat. Bigger B-cups and C's would definitely fill out this dress well. This was my 2nd time renting from RTR and not my last :)

Love this dress! Color is better in person!
I wasn't sure about the dress but then I read the reviews and thought it would be great for my engagement party since it ties in with our wedding colors. The dress, as everyone mentioned, is even prettier in person and the color is beautiful and so unique! I ordered both a 2 and 4 as I vary between the sizes and they both actually fit but I went with the 4 so I could have a little room to stuff my face that day lol. Everyone at our party LOVED the dress. Someone even commented on a picture afterward saying, "Is that opening ceremony? Fabulous!" I highly recommend the dress and this company is wonderful as well. I'm thinking of ordering my bridesmaid dresses from here. :)

Love this dress!
I was a little scared about renting this dress due to the low cut front and the flow bottom (I have a big butt) but the dress couldn't have worked out more perfect! I normally wear either a 4 or 6 and ended up wearing the 4 in this dress. Also, the pockets were awesome since I was at an event wear I couldn't bring a purse or clutch! I'd definitely recommend this dress!!

Stunning Dress
This dress is, like many reviewers state, much more striking in real life. It also provided me much, much less bust coverage! I wasn't able to find any sort of bra to wear with it (I'm a 30G/32DDD) so I had to go bra-less, which for me wasn't really ideal. I didn't feel that comfortable wearing it because even though I taped myself in, I felt like one of my girls was ready to go flying out at any moment! My husband, however, was smitten. The dress is extremely flattering, great length. I'd post a picture but my phone crashed and I lost all of my photos! It really was a knockout dress!

Worn for a Graduate Student Yule Ball, great holiday party dress!
It's a fun dress and I got tons of compliments on the color! This dress has a nice shine to it, but as a warning it is pretty revealing and tight in the bust area. I'm a small C cup and I had difficulty zipping it up and felt like I was busting out of it all night. My friend wore it the following night to a 2nd round of holiday parties and also felt a bit exposed.

Super fun and flirty!
I wore this at my friend's bachelorette. We had a party and then went to rooftop of The W for bottle service. It was perfect for the occasion. I was really nervous it would not fit when I found out the 8 was not available a few days before the event. Luckily, I was able to get zipped into it. This dress definitely highlights your boobs so be ready for that. I normally have to wear a bra, but did not need to with this dress. think it would have been a little more secure with fashion tape, but the bust was tight enough that I did not have any wardrobe malfunctions.

Flattering, comfortable and so fun!
Loved this dress! I was a little self conscious that it was going to be really boob-y but it looked great! It was very comfortable AND it had pockets! It's also a little longer so you can get away with the lower cut in the front. I can't wait to rent it again :)

If you're petite with a short torso it may not fit right.
This is an awesome dress, but if you're petite framed or have a short torso, it might not fit right. I was too heavy / broad around the ribs for the size 0 and it wouldn't zip, but the size 2 was too long in the torso -- the plunge from shoulders to sternum showed bra (I had to safety-pin it) and also there was a big huge gap at the shoulders, so it looked quite obviously too big. It was a great dress but not for my frame.

Did not wear
I didn't wear this dress because the terrible weather in my state made UPS unable to deliver it in time and I decided to go with a long dress instead since it was so cold. But I did get to try this dress on, and it fit perfectly. Just short enough but not too short on my petite frame. The chest area was tight without feeling constricting. And it was not too heavy of a material.

It made me look stunning! Perfect dress for a perfect night!
It fit perfectly and made my waist look very small and my bust bigger than it was. I wore a bandeau underneath this dress because although it doesn't look very low on the model, it showed about my whole chest. This dress made my night unforgettable and turned many heads!

Absolutely gorgeous!
This dress was a complete dream. Like other people have said, the pictures don't do the color justice. It's super flattering, tucking in at the stomach and keeping everything held up and looking good. I'm a petite person so the straps were a little big. Because of this, the dress hit a little lower on me than the model but I still loved it and received compliments on it all night long!

Loved the fit and flare, perfect for smaller chests!
I'm usually a 4, but this dress was swimming on me in the chest and ribs so I downsized to the 2 and it was perfect! Sparkly and flattering for mommy tummies, I was even able to wear a regular bra since the plunge landed right at my bra line! The girls looked perfectly perky with the fit of the dress and I received compliments all nite. The dress was in good shape, a few frays I had to tend to but not noticeable with all the sparkle. Pictures don't do it justice! Another great rental, I've never been let down!
