I loved this dress. I rented it for my birthday and wore it with a tiara and it was just perfect. I was originally looking for a colorful dress, but the sequins were festive enough that I didn't mind the black at all. I felt sophisticated and pretty and had a great time.

Being able to meet my best friend in the whole world's wardrobe requirements for her wedding.

The dress was really pretty and I'm sure for more slender girls would work great. It looked fine on me, but was incredibly tight on my lower half (which to be honest, is my larger half) - I think the word I would use to describe it would be "bootylicious". But, all in all it is a beautiful dress. I also ordered the 10 just in case the 8 didn't work and the 10 didn't look as good as the 8 and really didn't give any additional space in the lower half. I am a 34 B and the top fit OK, but I would recommend fashion tape to avoid having the top fold over.

This was the first time I'd tried RTR. I rented this dress for a banquet event and was a little leery about size and whether it would get there to my house on time. I was more than impressed! The dress arrived on the exact day it was supposed to and was in great condition. I'd actually ordered it in two sizes afraid that it might run small or fit wrong, but it fit true to the size I usually wear and was even more beautiful in-person. It was actually comfortable, too! I would definitely recommend this dress and renting from RTR in the future.

I'm usually a 00P/XXS, so the dress was loose and a bit too long. I'm not voluptuous either so it just looked straight (LOL). The belt area was weird. It looked okay, but the construction was actually flimsy and so-so at best. It did do its purpose though--not a bad LBD for the price.

I rented this dress for my school's homecoming dance.. it stayed comfortable all night, no itchiness or falling down. It was the perfect length, not slutty short but not awkwardly long. It wasn't tight but it is form-fitting in some areas, like one side of the butt. Pictures do not do this dress justice! I tried including some full length pictures so you could see the sparkle, but it just didn't capture on film. I also included a picture of me sitting down so you could see how badly it rides up.. it gets pretty short! It was comfortable to dance in and I even bowled in it afterwards with no riding up or feeling uncomfortable! Overall I loved the experience and revieved many compliments and I will definately be renting again!

Fit perfectly & looked great on! Rented it for 2 separate occasions (a NYE party & a fancy dinner out in LA). The dressed was perfect or both occasions! Use double sided tape to prevent the dress from shifting. I am the curviest on my hips, the dress fits small around that area so take that into consideration when choosing a size!

It wouldn't be a bad idea to go 2 sizes up especially if you have a full bust. I wore a size 8 and it was almost too small.

This dress looks really cute and almost sweet on the model on the website but don't let it deceive you!! It is a HOT dress!! I don't think I eve looked so good. The dress is pretty short and hugs your body to make you look great!! It's a really great dress and I would rent it again for something else I want to look drop dead gorgeous in.

I really liked this dress. Wore it for my birthday dinner. However, the material was very thin. And it did feel tight at the bottom. However, I would recommend this for a dinner. Not for dancing. The RTR customer service was great.

Size worn: 8
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Vacation
I wore this last spring break in Vegas for a night out. I loved it, but it did fit a bit small, and the top kept slipping down. Fashion tape helped a bit, but not much. The only downside was that the dress I received was a bit worn. Overall, I'd recommend it and would probably rent again.

Size worn: 6
Overall fit: Small

The length of the dress was good for my height, but the material made me look heavy. We had to tape the layers of fabric down and we went up a size. I would recommend this dress for someone who has a sleeker body type. But i did get a lot of compliments on the dress because it was one of a kind! This was my second time renting form RRW and i will do it again, i love it!! I would post a picture but its not letting me right now.

I loved the intricate, subtle detail!

Overall fit: Small

I rented this as a back up for a formal wedding and ended up going with my first pick, but could have easily worn this one. Thankfully I got a back-up size one size larger than I normally wear, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to give this dress four stars. But the larger size fit perfectly. I loved how it hugged my legs, but had draping that was forgiving in my mid-section. Because the details are so subtle, it can almost seem too plain - but I still loved it!

Expected incredible, but ended up disappointed...
Size worn: 2
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Party
I had high hopes for this dress. As someone with a straight and narrow body type, I thought the middle would cinch in more and create an hourglass figure. This wasn't the case. It was still hot because of the mini length, but it wasn't a WOW dress on me.
I imagine if you're a little curvier, you'll look great though!

The sparkles in this dress don't show as much in person as in the photo, and it definitely runs on the tight side, but it felt and looked great nonetheless.

I wore this dress for a less conservative holiday work party. My company is huge and strapless/sparkly dresses are fine to wear without feeling inappropriate. However, this dress was underwhelming to me. Usually, if I do RTR I like to rent dresses that stand out and are out of my price range to buy normally e.g. Herve Leger. However this dress, was dare I say, a bit boring? Other than that, it was in great condition. Fit well, and overall looked nice. I suggest wearing if you don't to "stand out". Oh and be careful, this dress seems to be popular as another guest was wearing it as well. It looked good on her too!

I wore this to a winter wedding with black tights. Wasn't my favorite RTR dress - it didn't give me much shape and sort of fell flat. Might have been better to add a metallic belt of some kind. Feel like it's better for more petite girls.

Pretty LBD

Overall fit: True to Size

Great fit for petite women. Beautiful dress with just enough sparkle to make it stand out without being overdone. The dress did look very worn out though. It was obvious the people who had worn the dress in the past had been tugging downward on the skirt a little...the fabric on the bottom looked pulled and the bottom of the dress was distorted in shape.

Did not end up wearing the dress since it was a little too tight around the dress. Dress is really pretty maybe in a bigger size it would have worked out. Would recommend for someone who is not very hippy though.

Awkward fit
Size worn: None
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
This was a really pretty dress, but the fit was completely awkward on me. The ruching didn't hang in flattering way, it sort of bunched and puffed, sagging in places. It looked nothing on me like it did on the model, but for what it's worth I've got a difficult body to properly fit - I wear a G/H cup bra and I'm petite at 5'3."

I think this dress is so beautiful, however, I have no curves, and it made me look like a box. I have a larger chest, and it managed to make it look smaller. THe material was great, though, and I can see this looking really good on someone curvy.

Rented the size 0 and 2 for a work Christmas party. It came a few days after the event, but even if it had come on time I still wouldn't have worn it. The overlay was loose and didn't lay right on the dress, the size 0 was way too small on my bust and a little large in the waist. The 2 was way too large on my waist.

Great LBD!
Size worn: 6
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Formal Affair
Definitely order a size up!! I'm normally a size 2 or 4, so I got the 4 and 6 but I wish I had gotten 6 and 8. 6 was snug, especially in the bust (I'm actually 32DDD or 34DD), so I wish I could've tried on the 8. That being said, I LOVE this dress and it was super flattering! More than your typical little black dress, the waistline defined shape without being super form fitting and the sequins were a nice detail. Would highly suggest this dress for a formal or semi formal occasion, just don't be afraid to size up!

This is a really cute dress, but hard to fit if your hips are even slightly bigger than your bust. The top fit beautifully, but the bottom was too tight over my hips. I didn't end up wearing it to the event.
