I loved the dress from the moment it came out of the package. I got so many compliments <3
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.

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!

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.

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.

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.)

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.

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!

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!

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.

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!!!

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!

I was uneasy when ordering this because there weren't any back up sizes I needed available. When the dress came though...perfection! It was flowy and comfortable and masked my thicker lower half and busty chest. I am 5'11" and a "long" worked fine. I had about 3-4" heels on and wished it was a tiny bit longer. Only con was it was a pain to go up and down stairs in due to a lot of material. Loved loved the dress though overall and got so many compliments I was on Cloud 9 all night!

I wore this for a professional awards banquet so I was looking for something conservative & stylish.
Size worn: 20WL
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Formal Affair
The gown was a little small in the waist and too generous in the bust - despite it having a high neckline, I still had to wear a strapless bra. It was definitely short for my 5'11 frame, barely touched the ground with no shoes on. The fabric was definitely flattering and flowed nicely, didn't feel cheap and the lining is on the heavier side so it falls nicely without being see through. It definitely served it's purpose but a professional event but I wouldn't have purchased it based on the sizing. I normally wear a 16/18 and the 20 was still a little snug.

Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Wedding
I LOVED this dress and got sooo many compliments on it..but I did have to size up and wear the 18. The zipper is tough to get past a certain point but once it's up it fits perfectly. I did not want to send this back! It hid everything I wanted it to and I felt super comfortable all night. I wore 4" heels with the dress and it was perfect. I did switch into flats to dance, the dress was long but still very manageable. I would highly recommend this dress.

The dress was amazing and showed off her weight loss! She couldn't believe she could fit the 18 (she was a 24)! It works wonderfully for those who are well endowed in the rear due to the lovely band detailing the waist. COMPLIMENTS ALL NIGHT! My mom is 5'7 and the regular worked beautifully with her 2 inch heels!

The dress was fabulous! Yes it runs small but it was so comfortable. I love the way I looked and my husband did too! I originally ordered the Green one in a size 16W and I couldn't get it zipped. I called RTR and they overnighted me the 20W in red because the 18W wasn't available. Since, now i'm getting a red dress I rented the Red satin minaudiere with gold caging clutch. It arrived a day before the wedding and everything was perfect!
Thanks RTR

I received so many compliments on this dress even in the few steps I walked from the taxi to my event. The color is GORGEOUS, and the dress flows so beautifully. Only hitch is that it is very tight at just one point mid-waist. I panicked when I tried it on because I thought there was no way I could wear the dress all evening when it was so snug to zip up. But, a backup size wasn't available, and the other dress I ordered wasn't the right vibe for the evening. Ultimately, I wore this dress and (once my friend and I struggled to get it zipped for about five minutes) it was great. I was comfortable all evening. Once it was zipped, it was a true-to-size fit. If you choose this dress, I would highly suggest that you make sure to get a back-up in the next size up... just in case the zipper is an issue for you as well.

Looked great, felt great
Size worn: 20WR
Overall fit: Small

Definitely size up at least once or in my case, twice (especially if you have a larger stomach as it fits tightly around your upper stomach/diaphragm). The top fit my bust well but the cut of the straps will likely prevent you from wearing a non-strapless bra. The length was good with some drag (only wearing 4 inch heels would've taken care of that). Got several compliments on the dress and would definitely order it again.

Wore to walk the red carpet, got compliments all night!
Size worn: 20WR
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
I had originally chosen a different dress, but when it showed up I just didn't love it. I had chosen this dress as my "backup," and it was much more flattering and looked somehow "younger." However, the original size (18W) I had ordered for the backup was too tight in the bust (a frequent concern of mine, as I am a 40G). A RTR stylist had the next size up shipped directly to the hotel and it fit perfectly! This dress is beautiful and so flattering. Definitely stood out in a sea of black. I loved the way the gown swished as I walked, made me feel like a Grecian goddess. I would recommend a strapless bra for girls who are a little bigger in the bust - although if you had tiny enough bra straps, you could use fashion tape to secure them. I just had a baby five months ago, and I felt that this dress camouflaged my leftover belly. Would definitely rent this again! This was my first experience with RTR and I've already placed another order for an upcoming wedding! I may never buy another dress again!

Tight on the chest but once you're in it's a very comfortable dress. I'm 5'3 and wore flats and the dress just brushed the floor and didn't cause any major issues except for a few people stepping on it. Shoes with a little heel would have been a bit better. The dress flows around you in ripples when you walk - very lovely and doesn't cling.

Size worn: 16L
Overall fit: True to Size

The color is a true red, with a great lining and weight. You will need 1-2 people to help you zip it up, as the zipper can be a bit of a jerk. I was able to wear a strapless bra without it peeking out on the sides. You need to have a pretty ample dress to make it work, so beware. I have a pale skin, and I got lots of compliments on the gown, especially the color.

Size worn: 20WR

Ran a little small. Definitely size up! Thank goodness RTR lets you get two sizes! I'm usually a 16/18 so ordered an 18 and a 20. I wore the 20 and still the waist area was tight and on top of that really hard to get the zipper over the extra fabric that makes up the waist band. And an odd fit near the armpits, like the fabric could have been more substantial to cover between armpit and boob area. I'm 5 '7" and had to wear flats because of a recent ankle injury and the length was perfect! Overall really happy with the choice.

This dress definitely has to be put on over the head. No stepping into this one ladies! Overall the dress was beautiful and flowy. I wore flats because I can't stand to where heels, and it covered them just enough. I would recommend the tall ladies to keep in mind when wearing heels with this dress your feet will probably show. I am 5'8" and it barely covered my flats.

I rented this dress for the AHA Heart Ball, even though the weather was terrible, the dress was beautiful, It was comfortable but also still flattering. The only draw back is that because of the gathering at the waist the zipper was a little tough to pull up.
