Worse this for a formal event. Dress for perfect. I am a pear shape, and ordered size 10/12 and ended up wearing the 12 as it had a little more give around waist and hips. I liked the train was longer on me sizing up. 
Small chested women, I suggest a heavy padded bra if you go with a larger size. 


This gown was absolutely stunning.  I ordered the 4R and 6R, and the 4R fit perfect.  The shade of blue was stunning, and I received many compliments throughout the evening.  However, I saw 2 other ladies in the same dress that evening, which was a bit unexpected.  

Wore for a black tie wedding, received many compliments on the dress. The color pops nicely and is very comfortable. I’m not very busty, the top balanced me out. Would definitely recommend. I appreciated that the length was over my toes but it didn’t feel like it was dragging by any means I was wearing a short block heel. 

I wore this stunning dress to a gala and felt magical!

Beautiful dress, I felt so great in it and it was perfect for a black tie wedding. 

My typical size fit well. It was a little snug to get zippered and clasped but then felt very secure. No concerns about slippage of the strapless portion. The floral chest piece was an absolute stunner without being obnoxious or over the top.  
So many compliments about how stunning I looked in this dress! Would absolutely wear it again!
Side notes: I’m pretty short and needed very high heels. I wore this for a summer indoor wedding: it’s lined and the fabric is thick so beware of getting too warm. I might choose this for a late fall or even winter occasion next time for that reason.

I’m 5’5 132lbs and the 2R fit me like a glove. I wore a strapless bra to fill out the chest (bra size is 32a). The material is THICK which worked out well since it was a chilly day/evening and it kept me warm. I think it would be way too hot for a summer event. 

Loved this dress! Received so many compliments. The 6 fit too, but would have needed to unzip the dress to use the powder room. The dress is true to size and very flattering. 

This dress was a hit, so many compliments and it fit perfectly. I am a true size 4 and that is what I ordered. I am smaller in the chest but made it work. 

This dress is stunning and fits like a glove without being tight and uncomfortable! I wore it to a formal wedding and wore it all day/night without issue! I would absolutely wear this dress again.

The last dress I rented was a 0R and I ended up barely squeezing into this 2R. The dress is not stretchy so I believe it runs small. Definitely get two sizes. Lover the dress though and received lots of compliments. 

I revered this gown for a gala. It fit true to size. The fabric is very thick and has some give for comfort. I’m 5’7” and wore 3 inch heels but it was still a little too long. The only thing I didn’t love was the top seemed to sit low and felt a little awkward. I received a lot of compliments on the dress especially the color. 

Perfect for formal event - although I would advise short girlies to wear tall heels so the dress doesn’t drag. Overall a great fit.

I absolutely loved this dress. Got so many compliments…and it is so classy/elegant! The lining in mine was a little off, so the dress would sometimes move (specifically in the back). Nothing a quick adjustment couldn’t fix though!

The dress is amazing!!! Soooo many compliments. Talk girl friendly and curvy girl friendly. I did need spanks underneath for smoothing but that was a personal preference. True to size. 

Fit very well. Received lots of compliments on the dress! 

This dress was easy to wear (and dance in) once you got it on. The 6 fit me better everywhere but the top, but there is no way I could get it zipped over my rib cage. I am not petite and my rib cage is a bit broad but I carry most of my weight in my stomach and a little in the butt.  I absolutely could not get the 6 zipped up over my rib cage (waist was no problem) and the 8 was still very very tough. Once we got it closed the dress was terrific.  My small B cup couldn’t quite fill the dress so I occasionally had To adjust, but the way I felt and the compliments I received made it so so worth it.  

Highly recommend this dress! Fit fairly true to size, maybe a bit large in the chest. Perfect for black tie wedding. I received so many compliments! 

This dress was so true to size and a great fit. 
I felt so comfortable and sophisticated and elegant… RTR you’ve done it again for me !!

Must rent if you have a black tie wedding! Especially in winter/fall. The material was very thick and a little warm to dance in but overall still an amazing dress. It's a little long but with heels it was the perfect length. 

Pretty dress, with forgiving thick fabric.  Issue  I didn’t like the seams along hips were very thick and did not lay properly. Size 2 fit well except extra tight at the rib cage 

This was a backup dress, but I ended up wearing it to a black tie wedding in CA. It fit just right and length was perfect with ~4 inch heels. It’s a very elegant and classy dress for a formal event.
