Rented this dress for a more informal wedding.  It fits very well and the stretch in the fabric will make it work for many different body types.  It's a little difficult to find the right bra given the mesh top, and you will see the best I could do was wear a sort of nude colored bra.  

This dress fit like a glove. I received compliments on it all night! 

Loved this dress. Got multiple compliments on it throughout the night! Fit true to size. Matched it with a nude pink heel and matching bracelet for some color. Only con is the band at the bottom makes it hard to use the restroom... But overall a perfect dress. Would rent again!

Really classy dress. Loved the look! The only downfall to this dress is the material is not forgiving at all. Unless you have a six pack, be prepared to suck in all night or invest in some spanks. 

Curvy, athletic ladies rejoice! This is the dress for you. The XS was only available for the wedding I was attending and I was a tad apprehensive about the fit. Thankfully, the size fit without a backup! I will say there were a few minor snags in the see-through area, but it didn't show in pictures. Would love to rent this dress again in a pinch! 

I love Elizabeth and James. My favorite designer at the moment. Can't go wrong with this dress. Only downfall of the particular dress that I received is it was obviously torn before in the sleeve and RTR tried to fix it and sell it to me and it was obvious so I was disappointed with that so maybe avoid the XS so you don't get that particular dress! 

I ordered a size 2 and I should have gone with a size 4.  The arms were quite tight on me!  I wore it anyway and loved it.

The dress material made the dress sexy classy, the fit was great and the material was super comfortable and held everything in, especially for a night out. I received tons of compliments on it and was sad to have to send it back!

Originally got this dress for our anniversary dinner but it didn't arrive in time so ended up wearing it to a rehearsal dinner. I don't have many complaints about this dress- I loved wearing it! I'd say it runs TTS, in normally a XS/S and after reading other reviews I felt comfortable only going with a S (XS wasn't available but I wasn't worried. It fit like a glove. The bottom panel below the sheer was a bit loose on my legs so I ended up standing at a wider stance while standing up. You can't take big strides as it is still very fitted while walking. I definitely recommend renting it! Great experience for a first RTR order! 

I loved this dress, I wore it for my 22nd birthday dinner and felt comfortable all night. It fits so well and I loved that it was short sleeved, it felt dressy and casual all at the same time. The fit is tight but not too tight so holds you in, no spanx required. I definitely recommend it. Added plus, didn't have to wear a bra!

This dress was the perfect combination of sexy and classy. It was very comfortable and perfect for a wedding. I got so many compliments on it. I would warn others that it will show every curve as it is extremely tight. I ordered a S and M but was only able to wear the S since the Medium was not returned by the person before me. The S fit fine but was tight at the bottom so hard to maneuver in quickly. I would still recommend this dress to anyone! 

The dress was good quality, fit true to size and was the perfect length for a 5'3 frame. It was elegant yet sexy. Overall, a great first RTR experience!

I'm 5'11", 145lbs. I wore a small and it was really snug. I didn't feel like I was going to bust the seams, that type of fabric is tight. I did like how much it held you in!  You can still walk, dance, etc, but some movement is limited.  I liked how it came down a little lower since I have long legs to begin with. 

Looooove this dress!!! Wish I can own:) I wore it to a J. Cole concert and felt fabulous. #classy #sexy #sophisticated #fun!!! 

Longer than expected but still sexy with the see-through stripe at the bottom. 

 Fits true to size, not too short perfect fit! 

The dress was very cute! It's a little longer on my body than on the models, but tended to ride up when dancing so that it looked more like this photo. I really enjoyed this dress. 

I wore this dress for my birthday party. It was a great fit and I loved the fabric. It had just enough classy and sassy to it. I paired it with electric blue heels!!!

I rented this dress to wear to a charity event in Miami and I absolutely loved it and felt great in it. I could have worn the small but went with the medium because I forgot my Spanx. If you're considering this dress just keep in mind that it is pretty curve hugging!

Overall it fit well, but it was loose throughout the lower half which caused the zipper to stick out a bit. Besides that, it fit great! I would definitely recommend this dress!

I wore this dress to a work dinner and loved it. It gets a lot of compliments and I was comfortable all night. It's classy enough for work but unique enough to feel fashionable. I didn't have to tug on this dress to keep in in place and wasn't worried about any undergarment lines...the fabric is thick, but hugs curves well. It is tight around the arms and legs but not uncomfortably. I thought I'd have to wear the large, but the medium was perfect. Highly recommended. 

The dress was tight but flattering.  Very comfortable!  I have short legs and I didn't find it to be too long at all!

The dress was amazing overall! I ordered a medium and a large but the medium was damaged. I did wear the large but I think the medium would have fitted me better and I would have given the dress five stars. 

The large was too big from the waist down and it was hard to see the sheer design if I didn't have my legs spread slightly apart. I had a great time in the dress and would love to have it permanently in my closet!


it was really great. the only thing that made me have to go with the XS opposed to the S because of my height but both worked really well. it was a really great experience. 

Wore this for New Years and loved it!! Got lots of compliments!! It fit nice; I rented a size L and a backup size M. Didn't even try the M on though. Bc I liked the way the L fit. Not super clingy but fitted. 

I'm a size 4 usually, and I rented the small. The dress fit like a dream! It was tight at the bottom, but it never rode up or bunched together.. It's very comfortable. The fabric is very flattering - no need for Spanx or anything like that! I got a lot of compliments on it and would recommend it to anyone!!

Dress fit perfect! I was able to try it on at their Vegas store (amazing concept)! Staff was beyond great! The dress is not that thick of a fabric so you might want to use spanx if you want to feel a bit more comfortable. Service was amazing and so was the dress! Saw it on Kristin Cavallari a few weeks after I wore it! 

I loved this dress and got a lot of compliments on it. It's a nice balance between sexy and classy. I wore it for my 27th birthday dinner with the girls.I love the sheer mesh. It was very comfortable, and I loved the stretchy material. I probably could have sworn the small or the medium, but I chose The medium because it was slightly more comfortable.

this dress was fun to wear for a cocktail wedding and actually a lot longer than it appears on the model. the fabric is not very forgiving and will show every bump and ripple so if you're worried about smoothness definitely opt for shapewear. i was able to wear a strapless underneath but there's not a lot of leeway with the shear being so low. i really liked that it had sex appeal without actually being too skin-baring. because i thought the S fit better than the M i did sacrifice a little leg mobility and  the arms and neck were slightly tighter than necessary but the overall fit felt better. one weird note: i had a really hard time going to the bathroom in this dress, it's easier to just take the whole thing off than wrestle with pulling it up. i would still recommend it, cute dress, many compliments.

Hi! I love this dress and you look great! I'm only 5 feet tall and I typically wear a 0. Do you think the smaller sizes would be too long for me too? Thank you!

This dress is SO comfortable! I loved that it was fitted but super stretchy. It fits true to size and the sheer panels give it a little bit of edginess. One thing to note, this dress is very long. I'm 5'8 and it came to my knees, so I wouldn't recommend this dress to someone on the shorter side. This dress is perfect for a night out!
