I'm 125lbs and wore a size 4. It would sometimes bunch up around my waist, but other than that a good fit. Good length, not too short. Loved it!

I wore this dress to my senior formal. RtR recommended it for an hourglass figure, but it was huge in the waist and tiny in the chest for me (115lbs, 32D, I'm typically a size 0, but I wore the 2 in this dress). I would recommend it more for an apple or pear figure. The colors were really pretty, though.

This is a gorgeous dress! However, it is extremely tight on the top so if you are a C or D cup, this dress may not work for you. There is no stretch in the fabric whatsoever. So if you are a skinny girl with a little extra on top, you may want to try something else.

Perfect Dress 4 Summer Wedding
Size worn: 4
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
I ordered the 4 and a 6 for a back-up. The 4 fit perfectly. I paired it with nude strappy heels and a purple purse for a beautiful ensemble. I received numerous compliments, but the best was my boyfriend telling how beautiful I was all night.

The dress is beautiful and material feels luxurious
Size worn: 8
Overall fit: Small

The bust was way too small and tight. I rented this is a size 6 and back up sz 8, even the 8 was way too tight in the bust and loose every wear else. great if you are small busted.

Fun dress for a laid back beach wedding.
Size worn: 8
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
This dress fit really well. I have an athletic build, B-cup and I found that this dress felt great, no bra needed because it was snug enough up top. The dress fits snug but the ruching is really flattering and hides what you dont want anyone to see. I usually wear black/white dresses so this was a fun alternative. The RTR process is so easy- I ordered this dress for an out of state wedding and it was nice not to have to worry about transporting one of my own dresses.

Cute dress! Wish I could have worn it
Size worn: 2
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Wedding
Unfortunately, RTR was unable to send me my my original requested size for this dress (4) and made it up to me by sending 2 sizes of an alternate dress along with the size 6 of this one. I typically wear a size 2, but based on reviews saying the dress runs small, I sized up to a 4 for my initial order. Sadly, since I only got to try on the 6, it was loose and bulky rather than fitted and rouched. The dress has NO stretch to it whatsoever, so it needs to be skin-tight in order to look like it's properly fitted. I may try this dress again for a different event - its colors are beautiful.

I wore this dress for my birthday weekend and everyone was asking who the designer was and where I got it. I was a bit surprised I needed the 4 but the fit was pretty good.

Perfect for a spring/summer wedding; so flattering!
Size worn: 4
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
I rented this dress for a friend's wedding in Alabama. I have pretty broad shoulders and really narrow hips so guessing my size is always a gamble, but I ordered a 4 and a 6. The 4 fit like a glove; the reviews are right, there's not much give to the fabric/skirt - bend/take stairs with caution. I'm short, so it was a little long on me but that gave me some extra room to move. The boning down the sides gives the dress shape, and the ruching/pattern helped camouflage my food-baby after I went a little crazy on the fajita bar. The only reason I give 4/5 stars is because it looked like the fabric on both dresses had tiny pulls everywhere, which made it look slightly unkempt (up close). Other than that, it was comfortable enough to wear all day/night, it was flattering, and people are STILL asking me where I got it. Will definitely be using RTR for my next event!

Beautiful dress. I actually purchased it after seeing it was for sale!
Size worn: 12
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Date
I look forward to wearing this dress many times! It is beautiful. I still want to get the perfect pair of shoes to wear. I was hesitant to purchase as I have to purchase my dresses based on my bust size when the rest of my body is a size 6. This usually means getting something and having it altered. It's worth it. The dress looks awesome.
