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

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 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.

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

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. 

This dress fit like a glove. Not a single complaint. It was perfect for the semi-formal winter wedding we attended. 

I'm 5'1, 135 lbs, pear shape.  The dress fit perfectly,  very comfortable. I was concerned about the arms from the other reviews,  but there was no issue And  The ruching hit in all the right places. I received compliments all night and my boyfriend couldn't keep his eyes or hands off me. If I could own this dress I would. 

Loved the dress.  Got lots of compliments.  

Reviews are spot on. Expect to wear a size up. Probably could have worn the 8, but felt much more comfortable in the 10. I'm short so I "hemmed" the dress with fashion tape [not in this photo]. Got lots of complements. The dress was made well, but looked much fancier/more lustrous in the photo on the model.

The dress seems to run a bit small, so i had to order a size up.  

Wore it for a Holiday concert performance and it was perfect — right fit, right style, right in the lights, People told me, "You need to buy that dress!" Why, when I can rent it for less than I paid for my shoes! I keep recommending RTR … 

This dress doesn't give at all but once it is on, it looks fabulous.  It isn't easy to get into, squeeze into it.  Don't give up.  If in doubt, go a size up!

Very comfortable and shape wear helps the overall look.

LOVED this dress! The fit was perfect, length was a touch above the knee, and I received compliments on the dress all night long. I don't have my ears pierced, so I just went with a nice big ring for my jewelry. I felt comfortable in the dress all night long and was able to dance without the sleeves bothering me. Another successful rental and I highly recommend this dress!

Love this dress! Very elegant,classy,and forgiving. Perfect winter time dress. The only con is that it is a bit restricting when going up stairs. But other than that would definitely rent again! Stunning dress that makes you feel beautiful. 

Some others said it was itchy but it's really just itchy on the outside and that part doesn't touch you.  It's a little tight (runs small) but loved that since it hugged my curves!  

I rented this dress for an outdoor fall wedding. Many people wrote the sleeves were tight, but I disagree. The dress fit absolutely perfect! I wear a size 4, but ordered a 4 and 6. I ended up wearing the 4. I received MANY compliments on the dress and fit of the dress. Definitely will be renting again!!

Both sizes fit well, but I wore the 6 because the four was a little snug on my arms. It was comfortable and came out great in pictures. Perfect for the event I went to.
