Stylist Review
This dress had a definite shape to it. The fabric was soft well made. My normal size is a 0 so this was true to size, a bit big. I would pair with nude heels. Can really dress this up or down, it does not come off as too formal. Can be worn with any undergarments. Would recommend for bust sizes A-C.

Cute dress for winter bridal shower
Dress fit well- if between sizes, size up, but mostly TTS. I wore a sheer long sleeve leotard and tights underneath because it was much colder than expected, but still loved the look. And got lots of compliments! The seam in the front is a little odd and almost makes it look like a romper in pictures, but not as much in real life.

Gorgeous standout dress for work or evening!
I wear a size 2 and this 38 fit perfectly. It was shorter than other dresses from Valentino, but I didn't feel it was inappropriate for work (although I work in advertising which is a more fun/less conservative environment). You could wear this to work and out for drinks afterward. Fabric is gorgeous. I'm definitely renting this again.

Thanksgiving Perfection!
Beautiful dress with a structured fit. Does not wrinkle! If you have a medium to larger chest, I'd recommend sizing up. I found the rib cage to be slightly constricting but everything still zipped up fine. Overall, loved it!

Great dress, but runs small
Don't be shy about sizing up in this dress - there's no stretch to the material. I wore it to my sister's wedding and it hid my 10 week baby bump just fine once I sized up enough lol.

Cute dress
I wore this to an evening wedding in the spring with the dress code 'semi-formal'. The fabric is thick and has a jacquard texture, giving the dress structure. Very cute and flattering, comfortable and easy to wear. I'm 5'2.5" and about 112

Pattern perfection!
Runs a little smaller than Valentino usually does (around bust but I'm a 32D). Still wore my normal size though. Crease in the front a little weird but I still loved it so much. Wore to work and dinner with friends. Will rent again!

Beautifully tailored dress
The fabric on this dress is exquisite. It's a thick satin with a matte finish. The embroidery is well done and the colors are stunning. I wore the equivalent to an 8, which is my normal size. The fabric has no give. I'm short, but the dress hit right above the knee. It didn't wrinkle and I received many compliments.

Pretty, comfortable and elegant
I rented this dress for an anniversary dinner with my husband. I absolutely loved it! It was perfect for a slightly chilly fall night. I paired it with a shawl and simple black pumps. No special undergarments needed. I did think the dress ran a little small. I normally wear a size 2 and a size 38 was the size recommended for me- the fabric doesn't have any give to it so I ended up wearing the 40 as the 38 was too tight in the chest.

Dress is short-waisted and fabric is quite rigid --> not a great fit for me. Fits true to size.
I adore the print of this fabric, but this dress did not fit me well. While it fits true to size (I am wearing my usual RTR size 10; for reference, I am 5'8", 155 lbs, 36C), it is short-waisted and the waist is too wide. Also, because the fabric is quite rigid and doesn't flow, it makes me look wider than I am. The fabric itself is gorgeous, but from a distance it somehow looks like scuba fabric. I am returning this dress without wearing it.

Did not wear this because the hem was coming out.
I wear size 40 in other Red Valentino dresses but this one ran small in the bust and there is no stretch. It's gorgeous, but when I received this dress, the hem was coming out in the front about 8 inches. I called and they said I was not allowed to get it fixed, but could possibly use hem tape - nothing permanent. I had to order another in the same size and use another one of my slots to replace it. Disappointing that RTR would not inspect this before shipping it out.

Boobs squished no wait
I loved this dress. It's cool that the fabric seemed to me cut so there were flowers right at the crew neckline, giving you an auto-necklace. I will definitely rent again. But, I will size up from 42-44. Valentine RED runs small. My bust was a little suffocated. I wore it multiple times since I was in Italy and had packed lightly in order to shop heavily. 1. alone on the 80 degree day. 2. With subtle dots tights on a fall like day in Tuscan vineyards 3. With black cigarette jeans slightly rolled to ankles under and some black Spanish loafers at Lake Maggiore. Very versatile.

Thinking of how many ways I can wear it!
Love this dress! Such a good materials. The cut is a little different but still flattering. You can wear a regular bra which is nice. Good for work and plan to wear for either my brother's wedding or rehearsal dinner. The floral pattern isn't what I expected but it's very classy nonetheless. Order this dress!!!

Gorgeous print and material!
I rented this for a formal work day and loved it! I rented a 40 in another Red Valentino dress and it fit perfectly (I'm normally a 2), but in this dress I think a 38 would have been better as it felt a bit big around the chest and shoulder. The hem was right above the knee on me. I love the thick material and beautiful print of this dress. So fun to wear!

Beautiful material, runs large
Nice quality dress and beautiful fabric. The seam in front is a bit awkward, it folds inward. Also this fit a bit large on me around the waste, and lose in the neck. Still fit well enough to wear once though.

This dress is gorgeous but I couldn't hardly get it zipped without suffocating! I'm 17, 5'7 and 128 pounds. I normally wear a 0 or 2 and the 38 was too small.

Runs small. I'm 5'4 and it was really short which I didn't mind but some may. This is my second rental from red Valentino. I'm a 34C and couldn't zip up the dress up past my waist unfortunately. I had similar issue with the other rental from them so next time I will just order one size up.

Return before I wear.
The fit is weird that the dress looks very bulky on me. The material is high quality but you can see some scratches already. I returned it before wearing it out as it's not a dress for me.
