I love this lovely red dress although the back zipper is a bit tricky. 

This dress was perfect. Ordered a size larger than I normally wear based on other reviews, and I'm glad I did. Could have probably gone two sizes up since I have a larger chest. I got the petite length, and it was perfect for me. Lots of compliments!

I arguably needed a 4L, but it was out of stock. I got the 2L zipped up, but the band and upper body has zero stretch so I was a little uncomfortable. 

I love this dress. I ordered it as a back up as I've worn the same style but different color to a different event and I knew it worked. I would probably buy this dress if they had it available in my size to purchase. Not firm fitting but still flattering. Plenty of space for movement and you're not adjusting straps or pulling up all night. Love it!

This gown is not stretchy so you better know your size. Thank goodness for the two size choices! I had to wear a racerback bra to make sure that the straps (or the side of the cup) did not show. It all worked about well! At 5'3", it was a smidge long, but moderate heels worked fine as well. 

The fit is very true to size.  It is a flowy dress that moves with you.  You can easily dance in this dress.

Beautiful dress!  Runs a bit small so went with the large size.  Was hard to zip up (my mom used pliers!) but once it was on it was really comfortable.  Got a ton of compliments on the color.  

The fit was perfect, definitely true to size. You only need the long if you are super tall. I am 5.8 and the regular worked well for me, however, my shoes only added one inch.

Such a comfortable and beautiful dress. The flow of the material is beautiful and the dress is very forgiving. You can easily wear a regular bra but I did purchase a strap clip to make it more racerback. No slip needed. I received lots of compliments and folks recognized this dress from RTR. I would recommend this dress in a heartbeat. I got a long and wore maybe 2" wedges. It was perfect! 

Dress fit true to size. I rented for a black tie event loved the dress!

I loved how simple and easy this dress was to wear to a formal event. It is the perfect mix of simple and elegant. It is a no-brainer if you need a go-to dress. 

This was a beautiful dress! It was extremely flattering and fit perfectly! I am 5'10" and 155lbs. I wore 4 inch heels so the "long" was just the right length. 

Great fit, I'm 5'10" and in my highest heels the L still swept the floor.  The color is a perfect soft red, and really pops in photos. Loved the simple and elegant design. The skirt is made for swirling on a dance floor!

I ordered this in 6R and 8R because I was worried it would be small, but the 6 fit just right! It was a little long (I had to hold it up a bit even in 3" heels), but so beautiful and comfortable. It's a flattering style, especially since I have wider hips, and the fabric is flowy and fun. I would definitely wear this again!

I'm 127lbs and 5'4. The length was perfect. It was a little tight around the ribs but looked great. the 4 fit but was a little looser than I wanted. 

I'm 5'1" and wore this dress with 3" heels to get the dress to clear the ground.  It was fun and flowy. The fitted waist rested high on me under the bustline, but otherwise fun dress!

Overall it's a beautiful dress, however it did run small for me. The zipper was very tricky as well. It kept getting stuck around the band. It took 30 minutes to get me in the dress. Other than that though it was  beautiful! I was one month postpartum when this picture was taken and it's a great dress for hiding a tummy.

I was originally going to wear the 4L, but the 2L fit just that much better, although I wish I had gone with the 2R. The Long was just a tad too long, even with my 3in heels. I'm 5'6" and 140lbs for reference. I have a pear shaped body, and this dress hid all my imperfections (like my bra strap fat on my chest, my mom belly, and my thick thighs) perfectly! I could not wear a bra with it, but no one was any the wiser, as the shirring on the bodice didn't allow anyone to see anything. I could move easily, eat, and breathe all night without any problems or discomfort.

My husband was all eyes all night and I had strangers coming up to me raving about my dress. Another RtR success!

I wore this dress for my fiances company christmas party. I got compliments all night and felt absolutely beautiful. My favorite part of the dress was how comfortable it was. Not only was it extremely elegant, but I was able to dance and never felt restricted. The color is a perfect true red too! 

My only issue was how hard it was to zip. It fit perfect to size, but the zipper was hard to move (even when the dress was off). I tried on both sizes and struggled with the zipper on both. My fiance and I were FINALLY able to get it zip after some creative angles, so it can be done. 

First time ordering from RTR, absolutely loved this dress! I'm 5 foot 1,  approx 115 pounds, and ordered a size 2R. The size was perfect and the dress was very comfortable, true to size!  It was a little long, even with with 3-4 inch heels, so I probably could have used a 2P.  Overall, great purchase!

This was my first RTR experience and it could not have gone better. You definitely have a returning customer! I wore this dress for our engagement photos surrounded by the changing colors of the aspen trees. The dress popped in the surrounding environment and I could not be happier with the result. Just a couple of comments regarding the dress. It was a little hard to zip up, but that's to be expected with the style of the dress. Also, I'm 5'8" and rented the long dress as recommended. It was a bit long, even with heels, but ok. I wore flats most of the time so that I could walk so it was definitely too long for that. I would HIGHLY recommend this dress to anyone. The only thing I wish is that I would have been able to buy the dress after wearing it. It was absolutely stunning!

Fiancé wanted to wear a tuxedo, with a white jacket specifically. I needed something fancy. I wanted red. Price was certainally affordable and grateful for the back up size. 

The dress fit true to size. I do have a larger bust and that was about the only area that made me self conscious. The dress was amazing, everyone loved it and the photos turned out great! #engagementphotos

It fits true to size, though it's a bit on the long side if you're petite like me. Such a flattering cut, and the color is stunning. Also very comfortable!

This dress fit perfectly and is of high quality!  I was very impressed with this dress!  It's beautiful, elegant and classy if that's what your shooting for:-) LOL!  Got a lot of looks and compliments!  Bottom-line if you are looking for the WOW factor then this is the DRESS!!

This dress was so lovely. It flowed nicely and the material was light and rich with color (fun to dance in too!). Standing up and down was tricky because I kept stepping on the dress. But that could just be my own clumsiness! I wore a cuff bracelet which you can't see in the pictures. It was a little tight for my rib cage but not a big deal. My height is probably closer to 5' 8" and the 2R was perfect - although my heel height was about 3 inches. 

I will say there was a little stress the next day about finding a UPS store that was open on Sundays. We had to catch a flight home right in the middle of the day. But finally found one back in our home city with 15 minutes left to closing and it worked out fine. (I recommend planning your drop off location if you are traveling like we were)

I'm only 5'2" so I wore 4" heels and it the length was just about perfect. It skimmed the floor just a little. I usually wear a 2 but there's no stretch at all in band around the middle so I had to wear the next size up. So if you're a little broad you may want to size up. Other than that, the dress is perfect!
