I typically wear a 4 dress but the 4 was too loose up top.  The 2 fit perfectly.  I am 5'2 and the length was perfect with 3 inch heels.  

Great, thick/ish material. Beautiful detailing on the shoulder. 

I definitely thought the dress was perfect for an event like this because it's classy but still equal sexy without showing TOO much skin. The dress is fitting but in all the right places.

Fit was perfect. I am fairly tall and I could have used it in a long, but unfortunately it wasn't available in that size when I needed it. It still worked though - just wore shorter heels! I got a ton of compliments!

I rented this as a backup dress for an Inaugural Ball and absolutely loved it.  It's feminine, clingy in just the right places and is perfectly true to size.  All that said, I was devastated when I realized the hem was completely messed up. It looked like it had been rented by someone who did at at-home hem job - the lining was longer than the dress and the dress was ankle length on one side and dragging the floor on the other.  SUCH a bummer.  But the RTR customer service was incredible - sending me another option overnight for no charge.  I would definitely rent this dress again for another event!

Fit me well in just the right places. The dress laid nicely without hugging my flaws. I was able to wear a strapless bra without it showing. 

Dress: Great fabric that was stretchy and not sheer at all. The once shoulder allowed me to not worry about the dress falling, while still showing back. It was a great dress to dance in, with the only issue being that it runs a little long so you have to pay attention to holding up the dress on stairs. Jewel detail wasn't my favorite (not really my style) but it was completely fine. Due to the slivering in the jewel color I had to avoid my typical gold jewelry which was slightly annoying. The dress highlights arms/shoulder, upper back, and flatters the stomach- especially if you have a big chest! Doesn't do much for the backside- so if you want to flaunt that- consider another choice!

Fit: This dress made me look very thin as it does not hug my body too tight at all- lots of breathing room in the stomach area which I loved. The top area is obviously tighter and fit me well. Honestly with the stretch in the fabric I think it could fit anyone well! Like I said above, doesn't hug the backside area as much as it could- which is the typical trade off when stomach area isn't as close fitting.

This dress worked out perfectly for the Navy ball I attended. It's a simple dress, but the jeweled shoulder really makes it special. I was lucky the 2R fit nicely because there weren't any other sizes availble for the date. Also, the length was just right with 3in heels.

Really beautiful dress with nice material and beautiful detail.  I wore this for the 2013 Inaugural ball and received many compliments.  I possibly could have gone with a 6L - it wasn't really floor length and I'm only 5'3. Overall though really comfortable and elegant and very nice fit.  Only issue I had was the side with the zipper at times dug into the area under my arm. If I had a little bit of Hollywood tape it probably would have prevented that. 

This was a gorgeous dress. The beading detail was just enough sparkle, I just needed to add some understated earrings and the look was perfect. The dress is fully lined, which gives it nice structure (and doesn't show the outlines of your SPANX!). I ordered both regular and long lengths--I highly recommend ordering the long length. I am 5'3" and I could've worn the regular with flats. With a pair of stilettos, the long was perfect. The fabric feels great--a good weight but still comfortable and just the slightest bit of stretch. Overall, I was very happy with this dress and given the right event would definitely rent it again.

Very comfortable dress.  The strap splits in the back and helps hold it up very well for those of us who have small chests.  Shorter than shown in the picture.  I wore the 4R and it was ankle length, not floor length.  Looked great at ankle, but the image shows a floor length dress.  Loved RTR--couldn't have been easier.  

This dress is true to size.  I wear a size 4, and the size 4 fit like a glove.  The dress was very comfortable.  The only thing wrong with the dress was that it was too short.  I'm 5'7", so anyone who is 5'6" or taller should get a L instead of a R.  

The dress fit beautifully and was true to size.  I rented a 6R, and the hem was about an inch and a half off the floor with my heels on, so it was ok.  Anymore than that, the R size wouldn't have worked.  Worked well for my smaller bust size as well.  Very happy with my experience with RTR, it was my first time!

This was my back-up gown and was too snug in the chest area for me to wear even though I liked the cut & beading of this dress better than the Badgley Mischka Miss Mysterious that I ended up wearing.  The jersey knit fabric of this dress was not as thick as the other, so it was less forgiving and it was a bit longer.  The top part would probably fit for someone with a smaller bust.  I loved having the option of choosing a second dress for $25, just for comparison, which makes it a lot easier to make your final choice.  This is the best service ever!

RTR is SO easy & efficient.  They email you the shipping confirmation so you can track your package when it's on its way to you. If you log into your RTR account, it already includes the tracking link for your package on the way so you can check when RTR receives it.  They've thought of everything!

The fabric was loose around the waist so their was no bulking up whenever I sat down. The dress was light and breathable which came in handy when I was standing for long periods of time for photos. I loved it overall!!

I loved this dress. I had tried it on in a store and fell in love with the fit. It is snug, but in a comfortable and flattering way. But the price was not something I could ever afford for a one night work event. Then I found RTR! I was so excited to get to order this dress. I ordered and 2 and a 4 because I wasn't sure what would fit best after a few months. The 4 was perfect and I am typically a size 4. The length was just right for average heels. I am only 5'4". I got so many compliments on the dress. I am excited to start planning for next years Gala and picking my RTR dress.

Perfect fit! Got tons of compliments. I ordered the 4R but it was too tight in the bust (I'm a 32F) and too short. If I was any taller than 5'6" the 6R length might have been too short. The 6R was slightly snug in the bust. Material felt good- heavy and not cheap. 

I wore this dress at 34 weeks pregnant and felt fabulous.  I'm usually a 4 but due to my bump I wore a 10L.  An 8L would have fit better but the 8L was unavailable.  I ordered the 8R as my backup and it fit great, except it was way too short!  The 10L was just a hair long on me with kitten heels but overall I was happy  with the fit and received lots of compliments.  Best of all I was comfortable and I felt like the dark color helped me look smaller than I felt.  The stretchy fabric was also a plus.

Love the photo!  I'm on here trying to find a dress that will complement my husband's dress blues and this looks great.  Thank you for posting the great photo and your review -- it really helps.

I am also trying to find a dress for my husband's Battalion Ball, and want something that will look good but not be too fancy.  You are about my size, and I love that you have a picture with him in his dress blues, as that is what my husband will be wearing.  Thanks so much!

The dress fit great! I wish I had a smaller size, but I got another dress for another event and used my 2nd size with that one. I can see where everyone says they had issues with the length. I'm 5' and wore it with 3" heels, and it was the perfect length. The dress was comfortable and, with the weight of the material, it fell perfectly. Definitely recommend the right undergarments though because it will show everything if you don't. Got tons of compliments all night, and have yet to be disappointed with a dress from RTR! 

I wore this to a New Year's wedding and received lots of compliments. The front is lovely, but the back is truly spectacular. Plan to wear your hair up to highlight the detail in the back. 

Loved this gown.  It was a great fit, I did need someone else to zip me in, but it was perfect otherwise.  the detail on the strap is an eye catcher, I received compliments all night long.
