I rented this dress for an engagement photo shoot. The dress is beautiful, but I would have liked something a bit more form flattering, especially around the hips. Make sure to rent at least 2 sizes down! I'm usually a 6, but I rented a 0 and 2. I ended up going with the 2 because I wanted freedom to move around in the shoot. The 0 would have been fine for a party. 

Rented it for a New Year's Eve dinner & party. This was my first RTR dress and I think that kind of drove me to pick something other than a black or blue dress (unless it's summer and I sort of have a tan, reds don't usually look great on me). Going through all the dresses I kept coming back to this one, it looked cute in the picture so I went for it. Dress arrived early and when I took it out of the box my jaw dropped, the computer does not do the pattern justice, the gold thread gives it just the right amount of sparkle without screaming "look over here, at me, right now!".
The dress was a little big, and I probably could have gone with my normal size 10 but I was a little nervous as I do have boobs and hips, and it was right in the middle of the holiday (eating) season. However it wasn't so big that it was noticeable or uncomfortable and after dinner, drinks and dancing, I was happy for all the extra room. My boyfriend loved it, I got a ton of compliments, and I felt gorgeous in it, which is all any girl really wants. I'd totally recommend it!

Thank you for an honest negative review!  I'm in the same position weight-wise so this was really helpful!

This was about as close as I've ever come to a Rent the Runway distaster. I rented the 10 and the 12, even as I kept reading reviews about how big this dress was. (I did so because I've been losing weight, but I haven't really lost enough to break out of the 10-12 size range yet) Both were quite large on me. RTR was EXCELLENT though, in sending off a size 8 to me -- at no charge -- because they couldn't get it to me within a 24-hour turnaround. The 8 arrived the day of the event (I wore this to an opera) and RTR pushed UPS to deliver it in the morning. And the 8 was...a little small. It fit perfectly up top and through the waist, but was a trifle tighter than I'd have liked through my hips. IN fact, it would've been ok, but I didn't like the way it cupped my bottom, so it was about my personal comfort zone and not some bad thing with the dress. So I wore the 10, pinning the shoulder straps and feeling like I was a lovely pregnant woman. Because this dress is huge.

The dress itself is gorgeous, with all that red and gold. I found the fabric was a little scratchy, and the dress had a couple of pulls here and there, probably because the fabric is thin and there's a ton of threading detail on this. 

If you're going to rent this, go smaller in size. 

This is a very unique style with great detailing! The material is comfortable and really light...kind of reminded me of a nightgown. It runs large and I would definitely size down for back up! Really unique with great color!

I rented this as a back up for a NY Gala.  My first choice ran very small and even the second larger size didn't fit.  I also brought an old standard dress of my own, just in case and was going to wear it.  At the last minute, I was feeling like it was just a a bit too tight in the mid section and decided to try my RTR back up.  Voila!  it runs slightly large but i made it work with a couple of pins.  (I usually wear a 6 but would get this in a 4 next time.)  Felt great in it all evening.  It's flattering, forgiving, and elegant.  I was worried it would be too low in the back for a standard bra, but it worked just fine.
