Cute cut - simple with a bit of extra flair.  I'm usually a 2 but sized up to a 4; I probably could go up to a 6.  I had to put it on over my head since it didn't fit over my thighs...

A bit on the short side if you're a taller girl, but didn't prevent me from wearing it to work.  One note that it does wrinkle kind of easily, but didn't bother me too much.

Overall I liked it and would rent it again.

I bought this dress and I'm happy I did. It hugs my body perfectly. The material is thick and feels expensive. The length might be short for tall girls but is just right for a petite woman like me. The style is conservative but at the same time sexy and classy. 

This was my very first RTR rental! I rented this for a wedding in April 2018 and I'm just now reviewing it. Haha. 

It was a great color and really comfortable! Perfect for an outdoor California spring wedding! I would rent this again!

This dress is everything! I love the neckline and how the arm holes kind of work right into the neckline. It's substantial, swingy, gorgeous in color, and comfortable. Lovely zipper detail in the back (gold) makes it even special from the back. Love it and haven't sent it back yet even though I've worn it about 10 times! May have to buy...

This fit like a glove and was very flattering! The perfect length; not too short and not too long. I wore this to a formal work affair and was very comfortable. Would definitely rent again!

I wore this to an auction and the color really pops! Glad I read the reviews and ordered a size up, it runs a full size small at least! I just had a baby 3 months ago and the fabric was really smoothing and figure flattering, I didn't even need to wear a bra! Great dress!

Was a little small getting it over bust and hips but was absolutely perfect once on! I loved it!

Loved this dress. Form fitting in the right spots accentuating my waist with a bit of a flare at the bottom which made it feminine and a bit less sexy but still classy.

I loved this dress and received so many compliments! I wore it to work and it was comfortable, perfect for a warm day. The fabric is lightweight with a small amount of stretch, although I did feel I had to keep my stomach sucked in because it’s otetty fitted through the midsection. Beautiful, would definitely rent again.

This dress was true to size for me- I'm usually a size 4 and that's what I wore! The dress was a little tight around the midsection but overall was very flattering. I loved wearing it as a bridesmaid for my friends wedding! 

Pictures don't do it justice! The color is amazing! I loved wearing a bright color in a sea of black/navy dresses! SIZE UP! I'm glad I read reviews before renting. I normally wear a 6, ordered the 8/10 and ended up wearing the 10

I wore this to a wedding where I was meeting a lot of my fiancé's parents' friends for the first time. It was conservative enough to keep the older folks happy, but the color still made it fun and eye-catching. The material was nice and thick, which was great for a chilly morning by the beach, but still breathable, which helped in the afternoon as it got hotter. I would definitely recommend! 

Perfect fit on my petite frame. Love the cut! Not my favorite shade of orange but not horrible. 

I wore this dress for work and got lots of compliments on the color. It was a good dress for summer. It did show off my belly a little more than I would like but I still felt comfortable in the dress. I paired it up with 10 pumps and gold jewelry and it worked well

Im usually a 0, sized up to a 2 bc of the brand, could have probably still gotten a size bigger.  The color is a pretty coral, no stretch, good length, lined. Im 5'8, 124, 32b. 

I love this dress. It runs small. I usually wear a 8 or 10 but had to get a 12 because of the tight fit. Very happy with this selection.


I chose this dress for the rehearsal/rehearsal dinner for a fancy Cape Cod wedding.  The color is a vibrant, warm red with just a hint of orange (not quite coral, but not fire engine red).  After reading reviews which indicated it ran small, I did choose to go up one size, and it was perfect.  I'm very petite and normally a true 0, but the 2 fit like it was made just for my body!  The fabric was high quality and thick, but still breathable and very comfortable for a summer evening.  It was a very flattering fabric.  Because I'm pretty short, the hemline hit a few inches above my knee.  That was actually what I was looking for, as this was a pretty fancy event, but if you're looking for something more mid-thigh or "mini" (as it appears on the model), then this may not be the dress for you if you're on the shorter side like me.  This dress is beautiful, sexy, and classy all at the same time.  I got tons of compliments on this dress...in fact, my husband said I looked like a sexy astronaut wife because that's what the fit n' flare style reminded him of!  Woohoo!  All in all, I was 100% happy with this rental and would highly recommend it and would rent it again!

Felt fabulous for my son's College Graduation.

Wore it to a rehearsal dinner for a wedding. Very flattering for a small rib cage and a nipped waist.  120ish 5'6" and wore a  size 4. 

I rented this dress for work. It fits beautifully and flowy. I wore this to work and felt like a #GirlBoss. Co-workers loved it. The fabric feels heavy but not sweaty. In other words, very comfy and you won't have to keep making sure it's not hiking up! Definitely a double thumbs up to Elizabeth and James for the design and quality of this dress. It's definitely a classy head-turner.  

used this dress for my high school homecoming and couldn't have asked for anything more special!!! i'm 5'8 so finding a dress that fits my small bust size is always a struggle, especially when renting a dress. the dress runs small so instead of the zero i ended up using the 2 and fit perfectly! got so many compliments and the color is beautiful!!!! 

I ordered an 8 and 10 and wore the 10. It's fun and so flattering! I had tons of compliments! I'd love to wear it again! 

This is a cute dress! I really enjoyed wearing it. It's snug in the belly area but it accentuates the top so it gives you a nice looking shape. I wore a black blazer over it which made the color pop even more. Size up for sure. The 6 was snug on me, and I often wear a size 4. 

Definitely order 1-2 sizes larger than normal. I am normally a size 6, but rented the 8 and 10 because of other reviews. I ended up wearing the 8, but probably could've breathed a bit better in the 10. The skirt is very flirty and on the shorter side (I'm 5'9"), so had to cut twirling out of my dance moves that night. I have a pretty big donk, so the cut of this dress was very flattering. Would definitely rent again!

What a phenomenal dress! I received compliments all night long - and on Facebook! Typically I wear a 2 or 4 in dresses (smaller chest, larger hips). The 4 fit but the 6 fit just as well and was more comfortable. It was beautiful comfortable and the color popped! My favorite RTR dress so far! 

This was actually my back up dress for my friends wedding, but it was a very hot night and it was way more breathable than the dress I originally intended to wear! Very simple, great color, easy to wear and dance in! 

This dress was my second option and wow I'm kind of happy the first option didn't work out! Cause I received many compliments on this very bright orangy/coral dress. It is very fitted, especially in the waist area, so make sure you go up a size as your backup. I ordered a 4 and a 6 and ended up wearing the 6. I am 5'4, 135 lbs, 32D. Thanks RTR for another amazing dress!

This dress was so ideal for the wedding I attended. It was definitely a group of people with a lot of money & I fit right in the crowd with this dress. I was stopped a few times to be complimented on my attire. I felt so good and hot in this dress. Runs a little small, I'm normally a six but wore the 8. I just loved this dress. Perfect for a summer occasion. I recommend! 

I said true to size fit because I could comfortably zip true size 8 however I did end up wearing the 10 as the 8 was like a second skin!  I was so comfortable all night as it was tight enough to keep my strapless bra in place and I didn't have to fuss with any part of the dress - zip and you're done!

This was a beautiful, easy to wear dress. As others have mentioned, you will definitely need to size up. I am a true 8, but the 10 fit much better. Great for tall girls! I got compliments all night.

Friends, you must go a full size up.  Creates a perfect hour glass shape.  Fabric has good weight, will not fly up or show fat lumps and bumps.  Bold color means all eyes on you when you enter a room.  Loved wearing this dress!

It is definitely a gorgeous, professional dress. I do wish I would have sized up to feel a little more comfortable, but I made do. I love this dress and got so many compliments 

I rented this dress forfor a work trip in Las Vegas. It was very comfortable and the color is great. The dress is was  more fitted than I expected and you have to wear a strapless bra.

Beautiful dress! The color is very bright and the fabric is thick. 
Runs small. Order at least one size bigger, if not two! 
Love the high neckline. Perfect for a statement necklace. 

I wore this dress to an August wedding. The color is great for a summer event. The material has little stretch, it definitely runs small. Overall loved the color and style, would definitely rent again.

This was a great dress for a wedding. The dress was a little big on the upper back and the zipper was gaping slightly at the top, but other than that it was a great dress! The length was right above the knee, so would definitely work for taller women. Great color and moved great on the dance floor!

Fit was perfect except it definitely hugged my stomach more than what I was comfortable with but it still looked great !

The color of this dress is DIVINE.  But, it's super snug - so I definitely needed to wear some Spanx underneath. There is not a lot of room in the top of the dress.  Despite that, the impact was high with this dress!

At 5'2 and 36D, this dress was very form fitting. The size 10 fit too perfectly. My obliques, former muffing top was the highlight of wearing this dress. I would recommend it for pear shaped girls or straight and narrow. If you've got any type of stomach, this will be the main attraction. I was able to wear it but I was so very conscious About letting my belly go when standing, specially after work. Still got a ton of compliments thought and it was work appropriate. I'm a size 2-4 in loft and 6 in high neck dresses. I'm a 8 and 10 in RTR dresses depending on the top and I may have been more comfortable in a 12 maybe? Def size up unless you're a A or B cup. The 10 fit in every way but I just was t happy with how form fitting it was on my midsection. Beautiful dress other wise. #sweeps

So a little story about this dress... I used to own it in white. It was my favourite dress ever, had loads of photos in it all over the world - and one day it got left behind in an AirBNB rental... and thrown out by mistake (I know. I can't even talk about it).

Elizabeth and James don't sell it anymore... and RTR was the one place that carried it. Sadly not in white (side note: RTR if you DO have this in white please let me know and I'll love you forever) but:

Back to the red version of this dress - it's STUNNING. You won't regret this one: it gets heads turning but in an elegant way. I'm making the most of having this piece and wore it out to dinner, for drinks and it's a winner. 

Fit info: I have a small waist and wider hips and this feels like it's made to fit. I am usually a 6 or a 4 and I could also wear it in a 4 - but like how smooth it feels in a 6.
