Amazing dress. Did pinch the sides a bit by end of night. Some limited mobility for walking (well really running a non profit gala). 

I originally ordered this dress in black but something happened with the previous renter and I was offered the red instead. I ended up loving the red dress! The pictures on the site made it seem a bit brighter than the actual color. It was perfect for a formal MBA event I had to attend. I'm 5'3", 120lbs and was between the 2R and the 4P. Both fit but the 2R just sat better in the chest. I didn't want to worry about pulling the top up all evening since it is strapless. The only note is that it definitely is snug around the hips! The material does not have much give so I had to do some shifting every time we sat down. Overall super comfortable and flattering! Would definitely order in other colors in the future. 

loved it so much! hugged my body and was very flattering, however I'm 5'8-9 and the long ws still to short with heels

I felt absolutely amazing in this dress all night.  It is sexy but so classy.  The material is great, very flattering as it hugs your body.  It is tight but not so much that you can't move or breath.  I do recommend some two sided fabric tape to secure it to your chest if you are not going to wear a strapless bra.  I honestly can't say enough wonderful things about this dress.  I received compliments all night long from everyone.  And my boyfriend was totally knocked out when he saw me.  This is not a dress for a wallflower- you will stand out, but in a beautiful way.   RENT IT! 

I wore this dress for a military ball and it ended up being amazing for the event. I am typically a size 4 but read most reviews and decided to go up a size. Fits perfectly around the hips (however be warned it is VERY form fitting) and I didn't need to wear a bra (as there is wiring built inside the dress). I am 5'6 and paired it with 4 inch heels and the length ended up being ideal! I felt like royalty as the deep red cascaded to the floor. 

I cannot speak enough about this dress, I am absolutely in love with it and truly wish I could wear it everyday!! 

Dress was stunning and was up to the importance of this event.  Lots of compliments

Pros: This dress is gorgeous! Regal! Classic!! Stunning!  The necklace, I wanted to keep forever. It definitely complimented the dress to beautifully (I opted for mystery bling.  LOVED IT!)

This wasn't my original rental. My first option was cut extremely small. When I contacted RTR, they went above and beyond to make sure I had dress for the formal event I was attending. I was VERY impressed, and my nerves were eased knowing that they overnighted this gown to me. 

Cons: The dress is cut very small and the boning of this particular dress was uncomfortable. It kept poking my ribcage... but beauty is pain ;-)

Overall: Highly recommend renting this dress, but defiantly size up 1-2 sizes!

I don't usually where red, but I loved this. It felt very glamorous, and sexy! I will say, the top didn't stay put as much as I would like, but this may only be a problem for bustier gals like me. It wasn't too bad either way. I got a lot of compliments.

The dress was very form fitted and comfortable. It was hard to sit down, but other than that it was a great fit. I never worried about the top falling down because there is almost an underwire bra built into the dress. Highly recommend. 

Tight at the hips, beautiful color and look!

The fit was perfect.  I'm 5'3" and it touched the ground with 4" heels. 

It was a very forgiving fabric and the length was perfect. I have a small chest so I bought a VERY padded strapless bra to hold up the top and fill out the dress. But it worked and I did not have to pull it up all night. I danced easily and had a blast in this dress. 



I absolutely LOVED this dress! I ordered the 2L and 4R. Ended up in the 2L because I liked that the fit was a little more snug (to hug the curves). I typically wear 4+ inch heels which is why I ordered the long size. Wore my 4+ heels and it kissed the ground at the perfect length. Lucky! I also rented the necklace which was beautiful. There were other people who wore red at this event but they were so bright....this red is a little darker/richer. The scallop detail was a nice touch on the simple dress. I did not wear a bra as it had ribbing inside the bodice.

The fit on this dress was flawless, perfect length with a 3 inch heel. No bra required is a win in my book. This was my first experience with RTR and I could not have been happier, I cannot wait to rent my next dress. The dress did fit true to size. 

Just amazing. Great color, great quality. I wish I could have kept it!

The dress was GORGEOUS! My second bigger size came with a rip so I had to wear the 8L, and it was very tight. I managed to sit down in it, carefully, but every time I went to the bathroom I had to pretty much come out of the dress. I really think the 8L made the top fit better. I don't think I would have worn the bigger size even if there was no rip in it. Also, if you can get away without wearing spandex, i recommend it because the fabric underneath will ride up if you do. Overall, it was a great dress and I had a wonderful experience with RTR for the first time. 

I absolutely loved this dress and I got so many compliments. The dress had a Hollywood look and gives a beautiful silhouette. Dress runs true to size. I'm normally a 4-6 but the 6 fit just right. Im 126 pounds and 5 foot .. definitely a little long so I used temporary double sided fabric tape. 

Really happy with my rental- sad to give it back!

This dress is amazing!  Thick enough to hide anything, stretchy enough to allow you to move comfortably.  Wouldn't recommend for warm weather.  It's conservative without being boring, due to the fun cutout.  Couldn't have been more comfortable, but still felt fancy!

I rented this gown for our engagement photos and a Debutante Ball in the same day.  It was gorgeous and fit perfectly!  It accentuated my curves and I could not have been more pleased with my rental!
