Everything about RTR and their customer service is amazing!
It definitely ran a little big. If you are tall, get the long! If I would have gotten the regular version no way I would have been able to wear heels. This dress was perfect for masquerade party! I loved it! The only con is the sparkles rub a little against your arms but it's worth it.

Just stunning
This dress looked beautiful on! It's very sparkly and catches light beautifully, I runs true to size. This dress got a lot of compliments, I usually would get a short but the Regular worked fine with hight heels!

I'm very small like you. 5'1" and only 100 lbs. should I get the petite or regular size 0?

Odd cut
Dress didn't fit my body type well. I'm normally a 4, the 2 fit better. The dress would be nice likely with come with a bigger bust. End up sending dress back for another option. Color of sequin was nice.

Loved the dress! So many compliments and perfect for sorority formal
Wore 5 inch platforms with the 4L. Typically I am a 6. I loved the color and length of the dress and it flowed perfectly. Only cons were sequins scratching underarms. I wore it to my sorority's spring formal which is typically long gowns so it was perfect. Made a statement but still classy.

Did you just wear a backless (or sticky) bra with the dress? I wear a similar bra size and I'm just wondering what you wore to make it work.

This dress is beautiful!!!!
Perfect length! I'm 5'3 and wore a 6L. Sort of long without heels but with heels it was just what I wanted. Right under the armpits it did bug a tiny bit at times. No big deal. Around the stomach area it really defines your hips and curves. I wore a spandex to smooth things out. I'm very happy with this purchase. Loved it!

This dress was perfect for a black-tie affair.
The dress was beautiful and had just the right amount of sparkle. However you may need to get some Spanx because the area below the twist isn't extremely flattering. After a long night of dancing the sequins do rub under your arms. It was definitely worth it, I felt like $1MM and got a lot of compliments!

Gorgeously glimmering in gold.. this back-up saved my pre-wedding event!!
Everyone loved this dress! I had ordered the Zac Posen gold dress but it wasn't available so I was sent this dress instead. It was a size 4 which is usually good for me, but this dress seems to run big so it was pretty loosey goosey all over. My chest is on the smaller side compared to my hips/butt so it took a lot of the RTR complimentary fashion tape and some chicken cutlets to make it work, but with the help of my MOH I was able to make my grand bridal entrance and greet my groom and in-laws. His eyes were popping out of his head and my in-laws loved the dress. I wasn't wearing any heels with this dress since my hubby and me are practically the same height, and I was wearing it for an hour at my house, but otherwise, the length would be good for regular height pumps. I just wish I got it in a smaller size.

I felt amazing in it ! Got many compliments about it and was definitely a show stopper. LOVE IT !
The dress did run a little lose on me . I wish it was tighter and more fitting. On the other hand the dress is so beautiful and it definitely compliments the body. I honestly didn't look like myself for prom but in a good way. The dress is so elegant and glamours that i felt as if i were going to the Oscars. i wish i owned the dress !

LONG WAS TOO SHORT!!
I am so bummed about this dress. It looked beautiful on, except for the fact that it was too short! I ordered the long and it was several inches off the ground, which was extremely unflattering. I am just shy of 5'10'', which according to the sizing should have been perfect. I got the dress to wear for the late portion of my wedding, so a pretty major event and disappointment!

Wow, what a dress
This dress is awesome. It fits like a charm and the inside of the fabric is so soft that I swear I could have fallen asleep in it. The dress is super comfortable to wear and has a great "wow" factor. I felt like a movie star all night. The only downside is that the chest-knot might look a little frumpy in photos if you don't totally fill it out.

I think the dress looked great. The sequins under the arms were a bit annoying.

Everybody complimented this dress! Great choice!
It's hard to wear a bra with this dress especially if you have bigger boobs but my mom actually safety pinned the back of my bra to my spandex and it gave me more support in the front! Gorgeous dress! I definitely recommend it for all sizes! The twist in the back and front are very forgiving :)

So many compliments
This dress was beautiful and fun to wear. Loved the back part of the dress. The little tail made for an elegant look. If this dress would have come in petite it would've fit like a glove. Material was very forgiving. When you sit down it doesn't feel like you can't breathe. Get ready for all the compliments. Enjoy!

Jessica did an amazing job getting it out to me though!
It's a gorgeous dress, but it's heavy. It was way too loose on top, and too tight on the bottom!

This was my back up. The front did zero for me. The back was very good though.
The back was gorgeous. The front was blah (for me). I felt like I also would have needed a super tan. Length was excellent. Overall very red carpet worthy if the front was different

I wore this dress for my sister's winter wedding!
I wore this dress to my sister's winter wedding, and I did not stop getting compliments. Like a lot of folks said here, I was not really crazy about the front of the dress, and if you have any kind of belly, you may want to skip it because it sort of does this weird bunchy thing under the twist. But the color and the back of the dress made it worth it. Perfect for a tall athletic type like me, as the dress will exaggerate your height.

This is a beautiful dress, it was perfect for my black tie event and I got lots of compliments!
The fit was great apart from being a teeny bit tighter than I would have liked across my hips, but was better to be a bit tight there than to go up a whole size to the 4L. The 4L was rather loose and this dress is supposed to be figure hugging I think! The back was beautiful!

Backup dress
This was my backup dress, and I didn't end up wearing it.
When I tried it on, the length was perfect for me with my 3.5" heels. It fit like a glove up through the hips, but it was huge at the top. There would have been no way I could have worn the dress without extra help in my bra because the fabric was so loose, you could see inside the dress.

the perfect gold sequined dress with an amazing back.
the dress ran extremely big on me, especially in the front. I'm a d cup and the front was on the loose side. The back is the best part about the dress and the length is perfect with heels.

I had fun with friends and dancing the night away, dress was very easy to move in.
Front was modest, the bunching in the front was tricky and sometimes unflattering.
Overall I looked and felt beautiful.

I love RTR for how easy it is to find a beautiful dress! Everything about my experience was perfect!
The dress runs large. I'm usually a 2 or 4, but size 0 fit me like a glove. I chose to go with a 2R because it was a little longer. I'm 5'5 and the length of the dress with my heels was ideal. The only downside to the dress is that the front "bulge" gives the impression of a belly bump. Otherwise, I had so many compliments!

Great Dress
I wore this dress to a formal wedding. I loved it and received numerous compliments. I felt it was true to size, but a straighter figure may require sizing down. I wore a backless strapless stick-on bra with the dress. The only issue with fit I had was length. Even with 4" heels the dress dragged quite a bit. As noted in other reviews, the back makes the dress; the front is great but not as flattering. I found the dress comfortable to wear and didn't have an issue with the sequins irritating my arms.

Crowd pleaser and amazing fit!
This dress was so comfortable and I felt great about fitting into the smaller of the two sizes. I got compliments all night. The dress would have been too short with heels but I planned on flats anyways. The sequins rubbed the inside of my arms by the end of the night but that comes with a mostly sequin dress. I don't regret the choice one bit!

I got so many compliments about this dress...even from the men!
I love this dress so much I wish I owned it! I wouldn't have much to wear it to though! :) I am 5'7 and 125lbs. I usually wear a 4 in dresses but the 2long fit me perfect. I would definitely suggest the long if you are 5'7 or taller. I wore normal sized heels and it fit perfectly! The back was amazing and the dress looked so elegant! A lot of people came up to me just to tell me how beautiful this dress was!

This dress was perfect for my black tie Masquerade Ball!
So beautiful! No, the sequins aren't scratchy.
For the most part, the fit was true to size. I tried on a 14L and 14R at the Rent the Runway showroom. After deciding on the 14R and taking it home, I realized the torso was stretched (?) or felt looser than the 14L had.
Obviously you can't wear a bra with this dress, and the back is too low even for a bustier. If you are not a well-endowed lady, I would recommend buying adhesive bra cups or something that will allow you some lift. That was the only thing that felt off about the fit for me. Otherwise, I really enjoyed wearing it.

Overall, I loved the dress!! It was comfortable and had that WOW factor I was looking for!
PROS: The dress was extremely comfortable! It looked amazing on, and I received a ton of compliments. The back of the dress is stunning and beyond flattering!
CONS: I ordered a 6L and I'm 5'10, I wore 2.5" wedges and wish it was a touch longer. Luckily there was a train in the back so it wasn't super noticeable, but being tall I want the dress to touch the floor. Another con for me, is the cinch in the front creates an illusion in photographs that you have more of a "pooch" in the stomach area than you do. It doesn't appear that way in person (at least I didn't think so), but in photos doesn't show how figure-hugging and flattering the dress really is.

I loved how this dress stood out - no one else had anything like it!
This dress was very comfortable to wear! The only downside was that the sequins do rub a little on your underarms, but considering how fabulous you look when you wear it, it is a small price to pay! I usually wear a size 6 in dresses, and this was a little bigger than other 6's I've worn, but nothing drastic. Overall, I loved it and would wear it again!

Gorgeous gown, perfect for renting and perfect for a black tie wedding!
The dress was still about 2 cm too long even with 3-4 inch heels, which made it really hard to dance in and kind of hard to walk in. The sparkles were really pretty and the back was gorgeous. I would recommend this dress, esp if you are a bit taller than I am! Also it fit well but probably could have been a tiny bit smaller. The armpits were itchy but it wasn't too bad.

Being a part of one of my best friend's wedding!
I wore this dress as a bridesmaid's gown. I had originally ordered a 14 regular, but got the 12 regular for my back-up. As it turned out, the 14 was too big in the back, which left it gaping open, and the 12 fit really nicely! My only complaint was that it was a bit short. I am 5'4" at most and it barely came past my ankles. So, I don't know if the length was much different from what it would have been in a long, but if you are curvy, I would most definitely try the longer one. Also, the top was a little on the saggy side, and because of the back being so open, I purchased a backless bra from Macy's and it worked perfectly! One of the other girls in the wedding purchased a low-back bra from Victoria's Secret, but it was still too high in the back. The dress was very forgiving and moves pretty freely for being a form-fitting dress. The gold color made for beautiful pictures!!!
