First time using RTR. I rented 3 dresses and although this one looked and fitted great, another one fit better. 

Fits great, the drop waist is particularly flattering. Loved the lace. I didn't wear a bra, a little hard to fit one because of the cut on the top. Really nice. 

I was starting to get worried as I had originally ordered a 20 but when that didn't fit they luckily were able to send the 22 out in time and it was perfect.  I had to go braless as the mesh back went down to roughly my natural waist.  If you have larger hips/rear be aware that this dress will accentuate them but even still I felt for me it was done in a classy flattering way.  The neckline is very high so I did not wear a necklace.  All in all, I loved this dress.

The dress is incredibly comfortable. I ended up wearing the smaller size and it fit perfectly. The pockets were a huge bonus. My phone (in its bulky Otterbox case) fit without issue and the dress didn't bulge with the phone in the pocket. I wish I could keep this one!

Dress and material were beautiful.  I ended up not wearing it because it was a little fitted on my back where the dress material met the lace material.   It was a back up dress and I may order again but size up.   

Loved this dress. Fit true to size.  Loved the sheer upper back.

I generally wear a 14 / 16. I borrowed three different dresses size 14, 16, and 18. They all fit. This one was the 18, and the one I picked to wear. It doesn't have any stretch so I would size up. Beautiful dress, I was getting compliments all night. And it has POCKETS!!!

Conservative enough for church and festive enough for a party. Comfortable too! I loved it.

True to size.  Very comfortable and it has POCKETS!!!  Wore an 8.  I'm 5'10" 134 lbs.

Great dress! It fit just a bit loose in the waist and torso but that worked out okay as I wore it bra-less but the fabric is thick enough that no one was the wiser. The back sheer black section dipped a little too low to wear a regular strapless bra with this. The bright red color really popped and got a lot of compliments. I was worried it would look like I was wearing a table-cloth but the fabric was great in person. Also, the bit of pleats in the top waist section gave it a nice fullness and a silky red nylon liner kept it from feeling itchy. I would rent again and recommend it to anyone!

I have a long torso and this dress gave me a lovely waist. I normally wear between a 14 and a 16. Ordered the 16 and 20 after reading reviews. I could get the 16 on but the 20 had room for me to breathe and not feel unable to sit. Felt beautiful and recieved many compliments!

The fabric on this is really lovely in person, both the inset sheer panel and the brocade. The dress is perfectly serviceable but I didn't feel over the moon about it. I wish the 4 had been available for a more fitted look. I'm 5' 2 1/2" and wore 3-inch heels and it hit right at tea length and if I owned this dress I'd have it hemmed higher. The circle skirt would have been too tough to carry a decent looking taped hem on, I think. Overall, it's a yes but was sort of a forgettable one. 

The dress is much more vibrant in person. True red colors. Very pretty. The ribcage was tight but to be fair, I have broad shoulders. The dress made me look heavy in the hips which I didn't like. Overall the dress was comfortable and classy. Liked the pockets. Great for holding lipstick and a phone.

I loved this dress! However, it does run a bit small in the waist and bust so I ended up wearing my back up size which was a size up from my normal size and it fit perfectly! I got compliments all night! 

Both were too big. I loved the dress so much, but it was disappointing, because I picked the size based on my measurements. There was no time to get a new one, but I made the best of it. Look at the beautiful background, no filter, Sedona 

This dress received rave reviews from my daughter's friends at homecoming and also from parents who commented that it was so refreshing to see a return of old glamour and elegance, which is exactly why Claire chose it. The dress fit her like a glove and is modest, yet splashy. She opted for conservative hair and makeup with a bright red lip to bring out the Spanish vibe she felt as soon as she pulled it out of the bag. A real 10/10!

This dress fit beautifully. It was snug in the right places and flattered my curves. Material was slightly heavy so only wore it for the ceremony. 

I went a size down to keep the girls in check, and wore the dress without a bra. It was comfortable, flattering, dramatic, and had pockets! I wore it to 3 holiday parties in 1 day and loved every second of it.

I was wearing a size 6 and it was a littleeee big on me. The staff offered to order a size 4 but were honest and said it might not arrive in time.

Loved this dress. I got major compliments on this. I'm bigger in the middle and the boning of the dress kept me in. I wore a strapless bra but a cuplett would work better because you could see my bra in the back. Overall though, phenomenal dress.

Typically wear a 16W - glad I got the 18W as a backup. 

This is the type of dress you can put on, feel gorgeous, and not feel like you have to monitor your dress all night.  No worries of poking out anywhere, things slipping...  This was actually my back-up dress and I put it on MINUTES before walking out the door when I realized my very low cut first choice was going to make me self conscious all night long and worried that I'd have a wardrobe malfunction.  In this dress I felt comfortable and pretty and I loved that I could keep my cell phone in my pocket in case my babysitter texted me or I needed a cute pic of the night.  I wore it with no bra and the top fits snugly enough that it worked perfect.  The sheer back would make most bras not work very well.

A backless bra would have been best - I have a heavy bust so I went with a strapless bra. I loved the dress and don't have much to say! What you see is what you get.

I was crushed when the original dress I ordered didnt fit. This dress was my backup and it looked gorgeous. Lots of compliments. Was also great for dancing. 

This was my first experience with RTR, but based on my experience, it won’t be my last! The dress fit great, was comfortable and even had pockets!!! I got so many complements. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to wear a designer dress like this. 

The fit was great! I loved everything about it.... and it has pockets!!!!

This was my backup dress and I loved it more than my first choice! As soon as I got it zipped up, I knew! I loved how the torso fit me, and loved the full skirt, which I don't normally wear. The back is beautiful. I purchased a Nu-Bra to wear with it. I discovered the pockets during the wedding reception! A bonus I'd wish I'd found sooner.  I felt beautiful in this dress.

This dress made me feel so pretty.  I love the way it fit.  I was even able to go without a bra which is really unusual for me.  The dress was just tight enough (but not uncomfortable) that I put little adhesive cups in too give me a little lift and it worked out wonderfully.  I had so many kind remarks about how nice I looked and the dress was so fun.  It was a perfect Fall Weather Formal dress. I would definitely rent again. 

The fabric was awesome, the pockets of course were amazing, it wasn't too hot or cool. It was a little long, as I'm only 5'1 but with heels it was fine by me. Nothing itched, it matched everything and anything. I usually wear a 10 because I don't prefer things to be tight, but this was looser so I could've gone with an 8. I'd rent it again it was beautiful. 

The chest area was a bit big, which is not surprising because I am small-chested. Also, the sheer section in back dips low, so a low-back strapless bra is needed if worn. However, the mid-section fit well, and there was no problem with the hip area because the skirt flares out. I pinned the sides, which helped the dress fit better around the chest. Overall, I really liked wearing this dress. The stiffer fabric helps to maintain the flare of the skirt, and the print is eye-catching. Also, the dress has pockets, which come in handy. Five stars for this dress, and I would rent it again.

This dress was so pretty and flattering tons of compliments! Pockets are trendy, fabric is vintage, bodice is defining, a definite keeper. Elegant, refined, classy and sassy!

Very comfortable.  Loved the pockets, but the other blue dress I rented looked even better, so went with that one instead.

This dress is elegant and sophisticated.  It was age appropriate, but it would look lovely on all ages.  The sheer black mesh top made wearing a bra difficult, but the front paneling was sufficient to go braless.  The top portion of the dress is very fitted, and the waist is fitted.  Pear shaped women would love this dress, because it does not emphasize the hips.  It is slimming and gorgeous!  

Got many compliments on the style and color. Wore this for a "derby day" at Pimlico Race Course. The material is light which was great for a 92 degree day. The dress did not stick to me at all, granted I had some spanx on--but I didn't feel hot and uncomfortable wearing it. I recommend getting a good strapless bra to wear with it if you're blessed up top like me. Although the back is see through, I was able to hike the top red part of the dress up slightly to meet the bottom of my strapless bra, and it looked like it was apart of the dress. 

The dress runs a little snug around the ribs but not enough to not wear but I also recommend going with the bigger size of what you normally wear. It's a great lower tummy hider too! I will definitely wear this dress again!!!

I loved this dress!  I felt like a princess wearing it.The stretch in the top easily fit my 40D top. I did decide to wear a black strapless bra as top did not fit appropriately without the bra The folds of the dress draped nicely over my narrow 40' hips. I loved the pockets!  My husband adored this dress and complimented me several time on how beautiful I looked in at.  At age 61, such compliments are always enjoyed!  I would love to own this dress!

This dress was sent to me last minute because the original dress I ordered didn't fit. I'm so grateful for the stylist Irena who picked it for me. It's very feminine and fun as well, it's also something I would never have picked for myself.

 Color was fabulous and fit was fantastic.  Dress was so comfortable and had pockets!
