The dress looked elegant and fashionable. The slip inside did keep riding up so some adjustments were made throughout the night. I normally wear a six but multiple reviews stated they went up a size so that's what I did.

I’m usually a size 2 but needed the backup size 4 for this designer. 

Perfect for a winter wedding. Zero stretch, but convenient zippers on wrists 

Perfect for a fall wedding! Sized up for this one. There’s not a lot of stretch in the material, so once you’re in you’re in! (And it becomes very difficult to go to the bathroom). Like many others have indicated the arms are very tight. The butt area / zipper stuck out a bit, which I found a bit frustrating. But overall loved the look - received many compliments! 

It was very fitting. I had to use the bigger size which is a good thing they provided two sizes. I'm short, but the length was perfect. 

Gorgeous gold dress that I wore for a Valentine's date with a friend. Something different from the typical red or pink. Chic and elegant for all ages. Wore a strapless bra underneath it. There are little zippers at the wrists that allow you to open the sleeves a couple inches or so. 

The dress was gorgeous. It fit my body like a glove. I am 65-years-old and I felt like a hot tamale in this outfit but age appropirate. That said the styling in the back buttock area unattractive for simeine my age. Rather than a sleek look which I expected, even with Spanx, my rear end looked twice as large as expected. Not the best look. Although the rest of the dress was stunning.

I feel the real color of the dress somehow is darker than the picture on site. it fits well, hugs your body.  I really love the color and pattern.  fun dress to wear to go out, but I don't think it's meant to wear to dance, so the rim of the dress feels limiting and the shoulder part, too.  

Fit well. Hide the post baby bod.. tight in the arms and shoulders.. I'd be careful renting if athletically built

Omg this dress!!!!!!! I've rented a lot from RTR but this is by far my favorite pick! I wore this to my company holiday party, it was classy yet sexy and so comfortable. So many amazing compliments on it all night and I felt like a movie star!!! 

So many compliments on this dress. Wore it for a clients Christmas party. Stretchy in the mid section. Arms and shoulders was a little tight but nothing crazy. Color of dress is beautiful and perfect for party, wedding ect.. 

Within five minutes of arriving to the wedding I was attending someone came up to tell me I looked like a million dollars. This dress was fabulous!! The sleeves were a little tight at the armor as others had posted but I went up a size in preparation. The length was great to feel covered. I paired the dress with a pair of basic black pumps. I loved  that I want exposed all night but looked fun and trendy and sexy. My husband loved this dress and wants me to rent it again. 

I wore this dress for a formal party! fits well for pear-shaped bodies,  love the color and material was forgiving. Only complain I have about it is the sleeves were TOO tight and the slip kept showing off at the bottom (which I hated) But overall it was a good rental

On the picture I was 238 lbs. I normally wear a size 18. I ordered a size 18w and it was a good fit. true to size. It was a little tight in the arm area but I think that was because of the cut and style of he top of the dress. 

Yes it does properly fit the body nicely, but I never felt uncomfortable. I received plenty of compliments on my NYE dinner cruise. 

Arms were extremely tight. I'm a pretty tiny girl and the rest of the dress fit me well but the arms were so tight they left marks on me. Cute but uncomfortable 

This was my free second dress, and I chose to wear it instead of the original.  I typically wear a 6/8, and this is probably pretty true to size.  It was slightly bigger than I would have liked, and the ruching bunched up a little because of that (which made me feel lumpy at times).  However, we had dinner in Hell's Kitchen, walked to the theatre for a show, and then walked around for dessert and Christmas light viewing, and it was remarkably comfortable.  I'd rent it again.

The color is festive, great for holiday party and the ruching is well placed. But depending on how you feel about your belly, you could fee like the dress hid your belly, or the dress gave you a belly. I usually wear a 4 but it was tight around my armpits so I wore the 6 - which was only slightly larger overall. Highly recommend. 

I wore this dress to a fall afternoon wedding and received a ton of compliments. I'd say the dress runs pretty true to size. It was a little tight at the top of the arms but this is due to the neckline. My only complaint is that I couldn't get the bottom over my hips to use the bathroom so I basically had to take the dress off in order to go. So make sure you always have a buddy when wearing this dress :) 

The dress fit well. Size 6 was a little tight and the 8 was slightly loose but fit better. The bottom of the dress wasn't very giving so walking upstairs was not so easy. 

I would normally wear a size 2 in loose fitting dresses, since this is a very slim cut I went a size up and it got perfectly. The sleeves were a good length and it came below my knees (5'1") which I liked cause I didnt feel the need to pull it down as I walked. Lovee love loved it! Color was amazing too!

I ordered a size bigger due to reviews saying it was a tight fit and they didn't have it in my true size so i couldn't order two. Luckily i did because the fit was perfect. Not too tight but snug in all the right places. The length was perfect just above the knee. The off the shoulder was perfect to have a strapless bra and a nice statement necklace. I can't say enough good things about this dress it was beautiful 

Compared to other dresses rented on RTR, this fit snug but not too snug. It did limit the length of my stride, so I could not walk very fast in it. Unique neckline is lovely, the fabric really pops but is not over the top. Would recommend!

I am 5'6, 210lbs.  I am between a size 16 and 18 but this 18 was a bit snug, possibly because it is meant to be form fitting.  I was very self conscious because I've never worn anything form fitting, but as the night went on and I received numerous genuine compliments, I began to feel like a million bucks.  It is very glamorous.


fits a bit snug thru the bodice/sleeves but going up one size worked.

Was very tight as reviews stated. My problem area is stomach so was tight there, was not tight in arms. Event was just cocktails and dinner. Would not have wanted to dance in this dress. So different than anything I've worn so nice to be unique. If event was more formal would have worn hair up which would be nice with off shoulder dress. And wore gold shoes which were probably too bright for dress but festive for Christmas. 

I was a bit worried about this dress because of mixed reviews...however, I LOVED it. I had so many compliments and people asking where it was from.
The arms are a little snug, but I think maybe some people are wearing it too far down on their shoulders and that's what it making it so uncomfortable...its supposed to sit right at the top of your shoulders.
It was long enough for me, and the liner was comfortable. I ordered up a size and got the 12 with 14 as a backup. I am 5"11, 170lbs, 36D, hourglass shape.

I usually wear a size 2 but because the selves were so small (with no stretch) I had to go up a size. Also the bottom of the dress is tight around your legs. I had to take shorter steps and it was very hard to go to the bathroom. You can NOT get this dress on by yourself because of the sleeves. Other then that the dress was pretty. I got a couple compliments. 

Fit very true to size. Thought touching would make this style a little more forgiving in the tummy area but actually seemed to highlight it. Thought the gold sparkle would be fun but instead I kind of felt like I was wearing couch material. This is the first thing I've had from RTR that I haven't been totally in love with. Overall still a very nice piece, and I will always come back to RTR for my needs, but this was not for me

The dress looked very nice on. I felt beautiful. Definitely get 1 to 2 sizes up. The arms are tight and it was annoying in the armpit area.

Although the very bright gold of this dress made it a little too formal for my event (called a "ball" but not really...), it was pretty true to size (ran just a little large) and quite comfortable. I wore a strapless bra because it's nearly off the shoulder. Got quite a few compliments but not my favorite rental. 

The dress is true to size, but very fitted.  If you have a more athletic build, know that your arms are pretty much locked into position!  But, very flattering in pictures...received a lot of compliments as well.

Loved the dress.  It was very comfortable and also very elegant.  

This was my first RTR and definitely not my last! I was extremely nervous, as it is extremely difficult to find dresses that fit me.  I am a tall woman (6'1) and the length was absolutely perfect! I loved the shimmer and it was extremely comfortable. Thanks for making me feel beautiful RTR!

Got so many compliments; it was the ideal cut, style, color, shape for hosting a cocktail Christmas party. There's not a lot of stretch, so def glad I ordered a larger back up size. The only drawback were the weird hanger loops that due to their placement and the unusual neckline, really liked to poke out, so I spent a lot of time fussing with them. But it's such a gorgeous dress; fits like a glove, but still flattering. Great for a winter party. Bottom of the dress is fairly tight, so don't do too much dancing. Ideal for floating around a party though.

When my husband saw me in this dress, the first words out of his mouth were "Can we buy that one?" Absolutely GORGEOUS on. I wore it to a NYE event and I got compliments all night. 
I'm usually a 2, but ordered the 4 because the 2 wasn't available. The 4 was perfect. I didn't have any trouble with the hanger straps like other reviewers. This dress is gathered in all the right places. Eat, drink, and be merry - you'll still look like a million bucks! #lace #sleeves 

This dress was rented for a holiday toy  drive I attended, it does run small, so I had to go with the larger size I ordered. Very classy and the sparkles weren't overwhelming, rather an elegant touch that completed the whole outfit. Definitely recommend for the holidays, absolutely stunning and I received compliments all night!

It was a bit hard to get into but once I was in it , it was so comfortable! So many compliments on it and it's perfect for a winter event. 

Many many complaints throughout the night. This dress was absolutely perfect for the event! I wore the 14 normally I wear a 12 

This dress does run a bit small as others had commented, so I only ordered the 2 and it was perfect. I love the color and fit, and was also super comfortable! 
Highly recommend for any fall weddings or formal affairs in cooler weather.
