Felt like a million bucks in this dress! The length was just right, the top fit correctly, and there was plenty of room in the skirt to skim perfectly over curves. The band under the bust, though, was very tight. I tried on the next size up and the top was very baggy. I didn't wear any spanx, so that may make a difference for someone else.
I wore this dress with Kate Spade Chandelier earrings in black, AV Max Gold Dome bangle, and Gerard Yosca Chained to You bracelet. Wore my own black shoes and carried my own satiny black clutch. I would wear this whole outfit again in a heartbeat! I got SO many compliments!

This dress was absolutely amazing!!! I was getting compliments all night. The 20 did fit, but I felt it wouldn't have been comfortable so I went with the 22. The top was a bit large, but overall was amazing!! The zipper was tricky on both. I would 100% recommend this dress!!!

This dress was awesome...I got so many compliments about the style. While sexy it was conservative.

While the bottom of the dress fit perfectly. The top, due to my busty nature, was a little tight. However, it was the first time i did not have to wear a bra at all (that'show tight it was...I am a 44E). All in all I wore very high heels and in a long it was the perfect height.

Getting this dress was so easy and I loved it! I do wish I hadn't let them talk me out of getting the 14, the 16 was a little big and they told me to order a 18 as my backup. Great condition! Will be ordering from RTR again!

Fabulous Dress!
Size worn: 18WL
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
The dress was great! You can't wear a regular bra with it, you will need a strapless based on the way the top sits on your body. But that is my only complaint with it, so be prepared for that! I got many compliments on the gown!

This dress fit like a glove. True to size but slightly small. Hides all the imperfections that plagued most women. Length was perfect. Zipping in and out was slightly a task. Assistance was needed.

I had a baby 3 months ago. I was insecure but got lots of compliments on this dress all night!
Size worn: 16WR
Overall fit: True to Size

The dress was a little long for me - if it was a sit down event it would have been better because as long as I wore really tall shoes (like 4 inch heels plus a small platform in the front) it was perfect. But since this was a ball and we were dancing and on our feet all night long, I think maybe it was too long for me. (This is the story of my life.)

I felt beautiful and confident all night! I was definitely the Lady in Red!
Size worn: 18WL
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Formal Affair
The fit was so flattering in all the right places! It hid my hips, butt, and thighs....all places I didn't want showing. It enhanced my waist and chest. Really figure flattering. The dress was SO comfortable. Everyone else changed their dress for the drive home, but I kept the dress on. The color red is also such a beautiful and flattering color, especially if you have a tan. I honestly loved this dress so much, I can't say enough.
I didn't like that I had to size up.

I rented this for a friend's cotillion and felt like a princess!
Size worn: 16WL
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
I am 5'9" and quite broad through the shoulders, but I felt really beautiful in this dress! I can wear a 14 or 16 in dresses and went for the 16 in this and I am glad I did, as the 16WL fit like a glove. I ordered the regular and the long and ended up wearing the long with 4 1/2-inch heels. I did have to be very careful of the hem -- the overlay is very easy to step on -- but I never tripped. I took off my heels during the afterparty and just held the edges of the hem with my fingers to dance. The dress is fully lined, incredibly comfortable, and easy to get in and out of. The zipper does tend to get stuck a little bit at the waist ruching, but it wasn't a big hassle.

Dress had great movement. It was the perfect length; I'm 5' 9 1/2" and work 1' heels. Was a little snug through the rib cage, but not uncomfortable. Will probably need some assistance zipping up as the zipper gets a little bogged down over the waist rouching. The color was perfect!

Size worn: 16R
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Wedding
I ordered the 14R and 16R, the 14R didn't want to zip, and the 16R did after I played with the zipper awhile (I think it was still rather new to RtR) Once we did that we were able to get the zipper on the 16 up with no problem. With a comfortable height heel it was the perfect length and I got so many compliments on it. It definitely needs a statement necklace to really bring the vision together, since it's a high neck.

gorgeous dress, just not on me! :(
Size worn: None
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Formal Affair
Very pretty dress but I ended up going with my back up dress (super glad I ordered two options) The red is exactly as pictured and the material is very light considering it looks heavy. The top section of the dress (over the waist) is a lot shorter than pictured (on this gorgeous model). I'm not tall at all but with my 38DD boobs, the waist part ended up riding half-way up my ribcage :(. Also, the arm holes seemed to be cut very narrow, making my shoulders look super wide. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone with D+.

I felt really pretty in this fun dress!
Size worn: 20WR
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
This is a fabulous dress. I loved it. The rouching at the waist does make it difficult to zip (even when the dress is just on the hanger). I noticed this on my backup size, and another woman in my group rented the same style in another color and experienced this as well. I handled this by zipping it up over that tough point, then putting the dress on over my head, and zipping it the rest of the way from there.
I added a sheer shawl, which was fun to wear, and it helped with keeping my bra covered. Although it was tacked back (I find strapless bras ineffective for me), the straps were showing just a tad, so I felt better with the wrap. I would recommend having a criss-cross back bra with thin straps or a strapless for this dress, if you can wear one. Otherwise, be sure to have "fashion tape" on hand.
At 5'4", a 38DD, and typically at 20 at Lane Bryant, I found the 20WR was a great fit for me, wearing a slimmer underneath. My backup size was a 22WL, and it was VERY long, so I was glad the 20 fit! It's a comfortable dress that made me feel pretty and confident, and that helped make it a really fun night! In 2" heels, I was able to walk and dance easily without tripping.

Want a dress that makes you want to twirl around while breaking out into a romantic musical number?! This dress has that effect on you...and I wanted to wear it sooooo badly but it was too small. Based on the cut and fabric of clothing, I'm between an 18 or 20, so with the the help of reviews I decided to be safe and order the 22. Yeah, once it got to my bust area, I couldn't zip it all the way. But its ok, I ordered another dress from RTR, so it all worked out great. Thanks RTR!!!!!

This dress made me feel beautiful and I got tons of compliments!!
Size worn: 16WR
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
As a nanny, I spend my days in snot and spit up covered yoga pants and t-shirts so I wanted to be really fancy for my cousin's wedding.
This dress was certainly fancy!!
It's definitely designed for taller women. I'm 5'5" and in 4 inch heels it still dragged on the ground so I did a lot of dress holding while dancing. but I thought it was fun to shake all around while I danced!!
It took 3 people to zip it up!!
The tight bust/waist line hid my most unflattering parts really well.
All In all I loved this dress!! A family friend at the wedding didn't even recognize me!! I cant wait for my next wedding in May so I can rent another dress!!

RTR overnighted a dress that fit! They were awesome.
Size worn: NONE
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Party
The dress was very pretty,but there is no give. The band runs right at the rib cage not waist line. So because my rib cage is pretty wide (I'm a 12/14) in most clothes with narrow hips, I couldn't get it zipped although in the rest of the dress there was plenty of room.
RTR was awesome and overnight end me another dress!!

Flattering dress!
Size worn: 18WR
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Formal Affair
The dress was really great and I received many compliments. I ordered a regular length and not a long. I'm 5'7" and have always been able to wear regular lengths but I would have been better off in a long. I had to wear flats and still felt like the dress barely covered my feet. I had read that the dress runs small and it certainly does. I ordered two sizes up to be safe!

This was my backup dress, and it was way too small! It looked gorgeous, but I would not have been able to get the zipper past my chest. I am thankful this was only the back up and the original dress I ordered fit.

I felt gorgeous in this lovely, soft dress.
Size worn: 20WR
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
Excellent fit in the top, snug in the back with lots of room in the chest. The high waist was very comfortable for the seated event. I was worried about getting a regular at only 5'1 but with 3.5" heels it was the perfect height. Zipper was very hard to get through the center and it is sheer enough that you you would be able to see black underwear underneath it. Very soft and flowing and very forgiving to my larger unwanted curves. Loved it!

This by far is my favorite dress I have ever worn. I felt so pretty and sophisticated. Not bad for someone who did her own makeup and hair for this wedding. The color was fabulous and it fit great! I received so many compliments on this dress the day I wore it. You will not go wrong if you get this dress!

This dress is stunning in person. I tried this dress in a 16 (my regular size) and an 18. Neither dress fit. I could not zip the dress over my bust and definitely could not have fit a bra under it. I ended up using my back up dress which was also Badgley Mischka in size 18. A little discrepancy between the sizes for this dress and the strapless style.

Lovely dress of high quality and nice detail. Unfortunately, my buxom build struck again and I was completely unable to get the dress zipped past my waist (ribs on up...). The cut of the dress would have minimized my build some, which is what I was hoping for, but since the fabric has no give, there was just no way. I don't fault the dress at all...and I ordered a second dress in a completely different style (but same size) which fit just fine. Frankly, I'm quite used to this sort of sizing issue and hence, planned accordingly. Even with having to order 2 dress styles "just in case", my rental was still MUCH less than a purchase would have been, so I consider this a success....AND I didn't have to spend hours crying in a department store feeling like a frumpy old maid just because I have large "girls"!!! (Bust size is actually about 42 DD...but the drop down won't allow me to input that...)
