The fit is great - it was flowy enough to not be constricting and show a little leg, but also structured enough on the top to balance it out. The material is stretchy and light - I never overheated, even in a ballroom dancing. I would absolutely rent this dress again.

This unique color and style were the perfect fit for what I wanted. I am a curvy women and likes to hide my flaws. This did the job. I did go with the larger size out of the two due to the form fit nature of the waist and hip area. I am 5'7" and went with the long. Even with 5.5 inch heels it dragged the floor all around. This did however still look fabulous. Had many compliments on this gown. Wish I could keep this one.

At least 2 sizes small. It looks flowy on the model, but the lining underneath is tight. I posted an unflattering picture because that's how the 18 fit on my normally 16 frame. The right size probably would've highlighted my curves well.

I did go up 2 sizes in regular clothes and 1 size in gowns.

Ok-this dress is by far my favorite rental--also most expensive I have bought to date so makes sense that this is the case! i loved it in the pictures and i loved it in person. I must say though get that second size up to make sure. There is an inner lining to the dress to keep you smooth and tight HOWEVER-if you are between two sizes then you MUST SIZE UP...if you are on the lower end of your current size then you should have no problems with that size. the color was gorgeous and paired with gold shoes was perfect. I put up 3 pics to see the whole dress in light as well as how high the slit went. It gave me a great shape and the material down the middle helped hide any stomach area issues. I am 5'5 and the WR was perfect length with my 3" heels I received great compliments all night and wish I could wear this again but too many pictures taken and posted. I would def recommend this to everyone-especially for a black tie affair as its a different look but still formal. Absolutely LOVED!

This dress was a last minute replacement in my order for another dress that became unavailable. And it was spectacular. I was hesitant to choose it based on the model because it seems so huge and flowy in the pictures and, being a curvy girl, I definitely look better in dresses that define my waist. However the dress is actually much more form fitting than it appears in the photos. It gave me a gorgeous hourglass shape. I am tall (5'10") and I wore the long size and it was perfect. I wore it with flats and it had enough length to have a cute little train. I could have worn heels without a problem. It does run small (I usually wear an 18 and wore a 20 I this dress). I got a lot of compliments!!

I normally wear a 16-18 depending on cut, this 20W fit perfectly, (fit the same as another dress from RTR in an 18W) so it runs small. Was also pretty long, the back was more like a train on me and I'm 5'6".... so some really high heels and it's all good - because the dress was really beautiful and very flattering.

Carmen Marc Valvo runs like THREE sizes small!!! Order up, up, up!

it fit like it should, and I was a little concerned after seeing the reviews from others. ( about the inner lining ) Not a problem. The only thing I would say is that I'm short ( 5'6" ) and I can't wear heels. the dress was a little long on me..... But other than that? Stunning. I would rent this again and again and again

Pros: The fabric lays really well and is structured enough to hide lots of problem areas. The lining inside keeps you from having the slit open too much. Cons: By the end of the night the beaded part of the top was heavy, but I don't like things close to my throat. I could have worn the 14, but the lining kept bunching against my spanx. The 16 was just less bunchy.

I rented this for a friend's black tie wedding, and absolutely loved it! I got so many compliments on the dress, and was super comfortable dancing in it all night long. One word of advice- if you have curves (top or bottom), I would recommend sizing up. I usually wear a 12, and ended up with a 16 (that I tried on in a RTR store)- it was a total shocker but the lining is pretty snug and doesn't have any stretch.

This dress is as beautiful in pictures as it was on. I loved the feel of the material and the weight of the dress. I ordered a size up and was grateful that I did. The dress fit comfortably and hung on all the right curves. This dress is one I would definitely recommend this dress for a full bust or full figured woman. I felt beautiful and sexy. A great first time experience with RTR.
