LOVED this dress! Usually I wear a 4 or 6 in dresses but after reading reviews I ordered the 6 and 8. The 6 was a little too snug so I ended up wearing the 8. Great length and very flattering, will definitely rent again!

Fun and sassy. Dress was true to size, wore it to a summer wedding, the off shoulder was flattering.

I rented this to wear to my 10 year high school reunion. Very cute! I rented sizes 2 and 4 and the 4 fit a little better, not super hugging. I spotted a teeny bit of thread fraying around the front abdomen area, but it wasn't very noticeable. Instead of wearing the sleeve pulled over and around the upper arm like the model, I just wore that part over my shoulder. I received quite a few compliments that night.

The dress was a bit see through in high lighting. Runs true to size and fit very well ( a little shorter than shown on model) but I ended up wearing another RTR dress because the embellishment looked a little worn. Still a gorgeous dress with a black slip under it.

Ordered this as a backup and LOVED it! I will definitely rent it again, so I can actually have the opportunity to wear it. Very comfortable and flattering, but I did rent a size up from usual. A bit too short on the smaller size.

I was SO excited to rent and wear this dress, especially after reading all of the positive reviews, but I was highly disappointed with it. RTR called me two days before my event to tell me that my primary size wasn't available, and the back-up size they sent me was way too small. The dress was much shorter than I anticipated (and I'm only 5'2"!) and I thought the material was thin and cheap-looking.
I visited Bloomingdale's the very next day to purchase a dress to wear instead, and this style was hanging on the rack. Even in the store, it still looked cheap to me.

Uh - the material is VERY clingy and VERY sheer - so please please be sure to wear black spanx with this baby. I didn't want to wear this dress to a black tie optional work event in November because I felt it was a bit TOO sexy with all of my curves (I'm a size 8). It really is a gorgeous and fun dress though.. maybe another time.

Really wanted to love this dress but couldn't! I usually wear 0 or 2 so rented both sizes only to find both were about 2 inches shorter than it appears on the model which had me looking more '80s than elegant.

Wow this dress is HOT. I rented it as my second dress, and my girlfriend ended up wearing it. She is tall and slender, and it fit her like a glove...everyone complimented her on what great shape she was in (which she is) and the dress really accentuated that. Was nice to be able to rent two dresses and have both of them be worn. And no, this model does the dress NO JUSTICE. It is was more figure flattering. Thin, comfy material, would recommend renting

I really love this dress. I went to my fried weeding. I found this dress very stylish and flattering to my body. I have a small bust, I wear the push up bra and it was perfect. I had no necklace, but huge black and white diamond earrings. It looks really beautiful. I received millions of compliments from almost everybody. My husband was going to buy it for me. I felt the dress runs little bit small, but stretched toward the evening. Next time I will try to order size 4 and 4 instead 2 and 4 and see the difference. It is gorgeous dress.

Past rentals of Catherine Malandrino have fit me at a size 4. This 4 fit well, just more snugly than it is pictured. It is beautiful and I felt fabulous in it!

A friend of mine warned me this dress runs small - and I concur! Definitely order one size higher than normal, if not you'll look cheap in this otherwise fun and lovely dress. Material is a little lighter than I was expecting, but the rouching hides all of your 'flaws'. Getting the shoulder to sit in the right place took a little extra effort, but once I had it arranged properly it looked fab. I give it a 3.5 - pretty and fun, but I wasn't in love as I have been before with RTR.

I wore this dress to a Christmas party and got tons of compliments and several asking where I got it. I told them, but not sure if I want everyone to know about this hidden gem! The 2 fit me perfect, which is my usual size. I think it looks too big on the model in the picture and the dress hit me about 3-4 inches above my knee(I'm 5'5"). Also the dress is not lined and very sheer, but you could not see any under garments. Would love to own it or rent it again! It's beautiful and very figure flattering. :)

This dress is beyond gorgeous. I was hesitant to rent it because I was concerned that the ruffles would make my figure look larger from the side/front, but that wasn't the case. Absolutely stunning.

It was a nice dress but I thought that the size 6 I had was much smaller than expected. I can only assume that it has shrunk from frequent dry cleaning. The shoulder strap wouldn't stay off the shoulder (it kept riding up) and even though I'm much shorter than the model, the dress fit like a mini. May be it's time to retire that particular size or get a new sample.

I found this dress quality to be poor. It was very thin and you could see through it. I was fortunate that I rented a second dress which I wore instead. I am typically a 4 or sometimes a 6 in dresses. The 6 in this dress was ok, again the fabric seemed flimsy, but I wore the 4 in the other dress.

This dress was really fun to wear. The fabric is really thin and somewhat transparent so plan ahead in terms of undergarments. Also for me, it was was shorter than pictured.

This dress is absolutely gorgeously and incredibly figure flattering - accentuating and creating curves. I would have loved to have worn it to a NYC wedding but it is short - hits at mid-thigh - and made with very little material.

Be ready to turn heads when you wear this dress!! I wore it to the symphony, and it turned heads and garnered complements ALL NIGHT! (from both the younger and the more mature patrons!)
It does fit snugly, and I am glad I got the option for the second size up. I usually wear a zero, but the two hugged just right. Be aware, the hem doesn't stretch at all.
Overall, fantastic dress, and pictures don't do it justice- definitely a dress I will rent again!

This dress is to die for. I'm 115 lbs and fit a size 2, but the 0 hugged more and made me feel sexier.

I LOVE this dress. I wore the strap off the shoulder (not up and twisted, as shown) and it is stunning. Compliments left and right. This dress was so flattering I felt comfortable despite always being self-conscious of my tummy/hip area.
