Perfect dress for a day-time hindi wedding

Fit perfectly overall although I probably should have gone with a long. Didn't need a bar with it. Got a lot of compliments.

The fit and color of the dress.

The dress fit beautifully. It was very comfortable and complemented my figure well. The dress was a bit longer then I expected. I had to change to taller heels because I was stepping on the hem. All in all I was very happy with this dress.

Amazing dress! Beautiful color and perfect fabric!

This dress is amazing! I was a little worried about how the sizing and fitting would go at first (it was my first RTR experience) but it turned out great! This dress has a great weight to it, light and flowy, but what is hard to see from the pictures is that it actually has a light sheath layer on top. It makes for a great texture, but I had some static cling issues that had to be resolved with a dryer sheet before leaving the house. The top is nice and flattering and hit me just above the waist and then flowed loosely. I happened to be wearing this to a formal Halloween party and it was perfect for my Statue of Liberty costume. I rented some jewelry too to flair it up. I would definitely recommend this dress!

Beautiful fit!

I chose the smallest size I could find, worried that my 5' frame would be stepping on the hem all night. I was mistaken! With my 3" platform heel wedges I was able to comfortably walk and dance without stepping on the dress- the hem just barely kissed the ground. I got compliments from other guests at the Indian wedding we went to, and while I was not wearing a sari I definitely was glad I was just as colorful as the other women there! The fit is snug, and if you eat heavy it'll be a tight fit at the ribs at the end of the night, but your mid-section and hips will be masked well by the draping of the fabric.

The dress was gorgeous and clearly stood out in a good way. I felt like a movie star!

The dress fit true to size and was very flattering in how it pulled in at the waist. I ordered the smaller size as well but it was a little snug. The fabric was light and airy, perfect for a Summer wedding in San Diego. The dress stood out, in a great way. I received many compliments on this dress from women and men at the event. It clearly is a fantastic dress when guys are complimenting fashion! The color was perfection. I highly recommend this dress. Just rent it already! I also rented another gown from RTR for this event, which was also fantastic. It was very hard to choose between the two. I ended up going with this gown because of the color and it fit the event more closely then the gold, sequin gown I rented.

One of my favorite dresses from RTR!... Possibly even my #1 FAVE

This dress was a dream. A flowy, gorgeous, turquoise, sea goddess dream. I wore this to a sea-side wedding in Cape Cod in the summer and it was absolutely perfect. The material is super light and comfortable, so it was really great for the beach. I was worried that it'd be too long since I'm on the short side and full-length dresses usually run long on me, but I wore it with light gold, 3.5~4 inch heels and it worked out pretty well. I did have to lift the dress when walking up or down stairs otherwise it'd get caught, but other than that, the length was just fine. One word of caution: this dress is EXTREMELY fitted on top - I could barely squeeze into it and had to have someone zip me. That being said, however, it is also very flattering and manages to squeeze out cleavage from even the smallest of chests. The color of this dress is also so gorgeous. It's probably one of the prettiest I've worn. I wish I could have kept this dress, that's how much I loved it. I felt like a goddess in it all night!

Was a great dress for an all day event/parade. Not too dressy, but dressy enough to be noticed.

Great color and perfect length (I'm 5'4") however the bust was very tight (I'm a 34 B) Ended up wearing the larger size for comfort/breathing room. Overall great dress!

I wore this dress for a pageant at my university.

The color and fit are gorgeous! Great for small busted women. I'm glad I went with the long length, though I was wearing 3-4" heels. The fabric was different than I expected... almost like gauze! The only thing I didn't like was that it was so static-y! Overall a very nice dress in a great color.

gorgeous color, soft and luxurious fabric.

I absolutely loved this dress. I wore it to a spring black tie optional wedding, The color was just as rich and bright as in the photos and model online. I rented both the 36R and 38R but the 36 was too tight around the bust. The 38 fit and zipped well and it could be worn with or without a strapless bra. The flowy chiffon material was great, not clingy but very flattering. Definitely a dress for a bustier girl up top so you can fill out the molded cups. I am 5'7 and the R was the perfect length with my 3 inch heels. Do not get the long unless you're at least 5'9 or have sky high heels. I got tons of compliments all night and felt comfortable dancing, eating, no wrinkle problems or anything. Would totally rent again.

Fit like a glove! Gorgeous, airy fabric.

I LOVED this dress, and got a lot of compliments on it. The top was comfortable but structured, and provided a lot of support (I didn't even wear a strapless bra). I'm 5'5" and I wore this with 3 inch heels, which was perfect. The bottom of the structured top part, near the waistline, was a tiny bit tight, but I forgot about it as the night went on. The fabric is very lightweight, and the color is a beautiful bright turquoise, but it IS the kind of fabric that shows sweat/water stains!

I received multiple compliments throughout the night about the dress, especially the color.

I ordered a 34R and a 36R, and the 36R fit me. I am usually a size 0 or 2, so the size was pretty spot on. I wanted to wear flats, so I went with the regular length since a previous dress I had rented from RTR was the correct length with the regular. When I received the dress, the outer layer of the dress was about 1-2 inches shorter than the lining, making the dress appear too short. I wore it anyway because I didn't want to deal with the hassle of getting another dress at the last minute. The other dress I received, although too small for me, was in excellent condition. Afterward, I emailed RTR to let them know about my issues with the bottom of the dress and they completely refunded my purchase after they were able to see the defects in the dress once I returned it. I was not expecting this at all, I just wanted them to become aware of this issue to prevent others from experiencing the same problem. This is a great example of their customer service. I will absolutely be renting again!

Rented it for my first Mardi Gras ball... LOVED IT!

This was my first time using RTR, and I couldn't be happier with my experience! I ordered a 38R and 40R, and ended up wearing the 38R. I was weary since I usually try on every dress-- especially formal sizes since the sizing can be off. I'm usually a 6/8 for dresses. My event was on a Saturday, and I was delivered the dress on Thursday. The bodice was a little tight due to the zipper. As you can see from my picture, the zipper bulged a bit... but wasn't terrible. It's too thick for the delicate fabric. I'm pretty short and was afraid of the length, but wore 3" inch heels and it gracefully skimmed the floor. Incredibly comfortable! I was able to dance and move throughout the night. Very flattering and covered all the parts I was insecure about. Color is beautiful-- got constant compliments! The whole shipping process couldn't be easier. I'm looking forward to my next rental!

I felt beautiful every second of the night in this dress! Like a goddess :)

It was a little tight for the size, especially considering how small I am in the bust, but still fit - and looked great! It really cinches at the waist and flows down. I would say the bust would fit a variety of sizes. The material is lovely, not too fragile. The regular is super long so definitely go for short if you're short (it wasn't available for me)!

It was the perfect dress. Perfect fit, perfect material, and perfect color.

I had to wear 5 in. heels in addition to getting a petite size so it is a little on the longer side. Relatively true to size - order your size and the size down..

I wore this to my boyfriend's military ball. It was so beautiful- most of the other girls were wearing black and I felt like the belle of the ball! I normally wear a petite but the only availability was a regular, so it was a bit long on me, but I'm assuming the dress runs true to size. The color is gorgeous and the dress fits perfect. Definitely worth the price!

Love the dress!

This was such a great dress to wear to a formal wedding. The dress fit really well BUT it was too long for a petite frame. I had to hold the dress every time I walked around. However, I received multiple compliments that night and it was such a lovely color to wear. I thought the dress was tighter than what I wanted but it still fit nicely.

Princess For The Night

This was the perfect dress for my senior prom, I got soo many compliments on the color and fit! The zipper definitely gave me trouble at first but after a few try's I couldn't have been happier. The material is very thin so you have to choose your underwear wisely. A bra was not necessary either with the built in cups. As my first RTR experience, I am SO excited to rent another dress very soon!

Gorgeous color

I rented this dress to wear for a black tie wedding. The material is very light and the color was incredible. I did wear a strapless bra underneath even though it has a built in because the top portion is meant to accommodate a larger chest (I am a B cup). I didn't want to slip out. I ordered the regular size so that I could wear heels. It certainly stood out from the crowd.

Beautiful dress, perfect for a formal summer wedding!

I am generally between a size 4-6, but based on the reviews opted for a 38L & 40L (6-8). The 40L was unable to be delivered due to damage, but the RTR folks were wonderful about sending another similar dress just so I had back- up if the 38L didn't fit. As others said, the top runs very small and the zipper was difficult to get up (it took two people), but the final fit was perfect, tight enough that I felt very comfortable and supported while not wearing a bra. The long length was ideal as I am 5'8" and was wearing 3" heels. All in I think this was the perfect choice and I am so glad the 38L fit!

It was the most stunning, loveliest gown I have ever worn. I was getting compliments ALL NIGHT!!!

The dress fits to size, I am only 5'2" so it was a little longer than expected but nothing a nice pair of heels can't fix. Highly complimented my hourglass shape. The color was absolutely stunning and unforgettable. Would recommend it whole-heartedly and absolutely would rent again!

Wonderful Dress!

Beautiful dress! Gorgeous color, does run a little small in the bust area! If you have a large chest make sure you want to show a lot of cleavage because it definitely does! Wore it to prom and it was perfect, I got compliments all night! The dress looked like it had never been worn! An overall wonderful experience with RTR!

Love love LOVE.

This is probably my favorite dress I've rented yet. The color is amazing (looks just like the photo), t's super soft and flowy, and it's incredibly flattering. (I'm STILL getting compliments on it!) The only thing to keep in mind is that the bodice runs very small (I'm usually a 2 but had to wear the 6 because I have a fairly large ribcage...), and you'll definitely want to make use of the fashion tape to hold the strapless side up. Otherwise, it was perfect for the black tie wedding I attended. Highly recommend!

Gorgeous and extremely flattering.

It's a gorgeous color and an extremely flattering dress. I would definitely recommend it to anyone. The chest/bust was a little too tight on the 34R for me, so I went with the 36R. Fit like a glove! Carlos Miele is now one of my favorite designers. I got tons of compliments on the dress, and I felt super comfortable. I wore 4" heels.
