This dress was absolutely perfect!  The color is much richer in person, almost a deep green.  I always worry because I am very busty, so most of the time I have to size up in dresses to a 10 when I usually wear an 8.  The 10 fit, but was definitely not as flattering to my assets as the 8 was.  I did get the long because I am 5'8, and it was the perfect length with 3 inch heels.  I didn't have to pull this dress up at all during the evening because it fit so well, and that is rare with a strapless dress on me.  The only cons I have would be the boning in the bodice left a few small bruises (but beauty is pain and that was totally worth it!)  The way the ruffles are in the front, and the type of fabric it was made it settle during the evening and the front was long, I had to be careful not to step on it.  I wouldn't recommend this for small chested girls, I feel like you may be adjusting a lot.  I LOVED this dress, thanks RTR, you have a return customer!

Great fit- true to size.  Glamorous.  Stand out in an elegant way with this emerald green.  Fabulous fall and holiday gown.  

I'm usually a six but I decided to get the 4L as a back up ( and wore it) because I'm not greatly endowed in the chest area and wanted to make sure the dress would have a good hold on me. This dress fit me perfectly and even though I wore 3 inch heels it was floor length. This dress is BEAUTIFUL, the material is comfortable and you can tell it's of great quality! I felt absolutely gorgeous in it and recommend it for anyone with a function to go to!!!

This rental was actually my back up dress that I fell in love with the second I tried it on. I loved the way the dress accentuates your assets and hides everything else! The ruffling down the front and ruching in the back gives it that little extra wow factor. This dress does run pretty long but besides that it fit like a glove!

I wore this for an 80s themed wedding. It fit like a glove. I normally wear a 12. This was a size 10. The 12 fit but was too long-and I am 5'8" tall. 

I got this dress for a formal party and it was great. I loved the color and style. Although I am typically a size 8 in Badgley, I found this dress to actually be a bit loose on me. It has stretch to it, so I probably could have gone a size 6 and felt more comfortable. I am very tall and this dress still touched the floor with my 3 inch heels. Would def rent in another color! 

I wore this to a wedding at a castle in Scotland.  Couldn't have been more perfect.  It's super flattering, the color is gorgeous and its so comfortable.  I'm 5'4" and I got the regular lenght.  It was a little long (like in the picture) but I just held it when I walked.  I got lots of compliments on this one!  I couldn't be happier with my RTR experience. 

I wore this dress as "Poison Ivy" to a superhero party (inspired by RTR's Halloween suggestions last fall).  I pinned some silk ivy leaves onto the dress and got many compliments on my costume.  The dress has boning in the bodice and a built in bra, but I felt more comfortable wearing a strapless bra too.  I am 5'9" and wore a 6 L with 3 inch heels and the dress was still touching the floor.  The draping of the dress  makes it seems like it is longer in the front than in the back.  That caused some challenges for dancing but I still loved it.

I got this dress and another for my engagement photo shoot and I'm so bummed I didn't get to wear it because when I tried it on it was lovely. The color is absolutely gorgeous and it has a very flattering cut. It's even comfortable! I would say it runs just a tad bit small in the chest area. I'm busty but many times fit in a 2 for long dresses that are loose on bottom because I have a small waist but there's no way I would've fit in the 2 with this dress. The zipper/back was snug on the 4 but its good because it helps keep everything in place. I would rent this dress again in a heartbeat! 

The dress fit well and had enough stretch.  The only downside was the fact that top does have a tendency to curve under during the course of the night.  I took note of it, per the other girls recommendations, and pinned as suggested.  With that minor fix, it was fantastic!!

I wore this dress for a prom, and do not regret it one bit!! I ordered the 0R and the 2P as a backup, and ended up wearing the 2P because the 0 was a little long and too wide in the hips. The 2P fit perfectly with 4 inch heels. The color was beautiful, I absolutely loved the dress and received compliments all night. I wish I didn't have to return it! 

this is perfect for a hall, wedding, prom , or elegant dinner 

The dress was the perfect length - I am 5'2 with 5" heels in the picture and my toes peeked out slightly from beneath the hem. My only issue was the dress' tendency to slip, but this should only be a problem for small-chested girls like me. Otherwise, this gown was a wonderful choice!

I wear a 0-2 in RTW clothes and glad I had 0 for a tight perfect fit! I wore 4 inch heels and I am 5'71/2" and needed the long. I have a good size bust and still fit in the size 0 which was great!! I used double stick tape at the bust area as I do with a lot of clothes so the tape wasn't to any fault of the dress. I got so many compliments!!! If you want sexy but classy this is the dress!! I also rented off the shoulder Badgley Mischka American Beauty Gown in Size: 2L but went with this one instead!!

The dress was gorgeous and very fitting! The bust and waist area were true to size, but everyone else was pretty correct when they said it was a bit too long. I wore the 0R with probably 4" heels and it was still dragging a bit to where I needed to pick it up when I was walking. Other than that I LOVED this dress! I never had to pull up the top, nothing was itchy or poking; it was perfect. I would recommend this dress!

This dress is very pretty.  The inner structure (boning) helps to keep it up (the draped jersey is heavy, b/c it is good quality.) This dress was plenty long for me (5'9" in 3.5 inch heels.)  It pooled perfectly  at the floor.  It could have been a tad tighter at the waist, but other than that, it fit well.  The ruching is extremely forgiving.
This was an extra dress that was sent to me in place of one that had a last minute glitch.  The customer service is amazing, they were so willing to make sure that I had a great dress for my event.

This dress looks great on you! I just rented it and I am wondering where you got your necklace and earings? They really look great with the dress. 

The necklace is from BCBG and the earrings are stud pearls!

Thanks so much for getting back to me! I tried going online to BCBG for the necklace, but apparently they dont offer it anyomre.  After wearing the dress would you say it is best to size up or size down on my second dress?  I am guessing that the fabric is somewhat stretchy so maybe sizing down is better?  Thanks for all of your help!

This dress fit very well! I loved it. It was very flattering and curvy in all the right places. And such a great color too! one negative to it was the elastic on the top kept folding over, you can kind of see it in one of my pictures. Also make sure you order the correct size because if you get it too big there is just too much fabric!! Definitely recommend for curvier figures that are fit.

My problem is that I consistently LOVE my RTR experiences, and never ever take adequate pictures?! This dress was the most beautiful, rich shade of teal (pictures don't do the color justice) and the jersey material made it extremely comfortable to wear. Strapless dresses always have a tendency to slip and slide a little, but this one has boning in the bustier that helps keep it in place, and it gave me enough support so that I didn't need to wear a bra. The strategically placed ruching was nice because it helped give me the allusion of curves, and made me feel comfortable enough to indulge in 2 steaks and a big dessert buffet. I absolutely loved this dress. 
The ONLY gripe is that I'm 5'10 and love wearing heels. The 0L was not long enough for me, and the 2L was questionable... (To be fair though-- I was wearing a 5" heel, and I don't know that many dresses are made to accommodate 6'4" women.) 
Overall, this was a great dress that made me feel extremely confident at the well-heeled black-tie fundraiser I attended.
