Very fitted and flattering.  Color is beautiful, true red.

Form fitting yet comfortable dress.  Not much give but it holds you in.  No bra needed ladies!!! I received compliments all night, but more importantly I was able to dance freely all night!! Just rent the dress and thank me later!!

I absolutely loved this dress!  I didn't end up wearing this dress to my event (would have been a little cold for the winter), but I plan to order for future events.  This dress is the to size and the long length was perfect for a taller girl!  Highly recommend this one! 

Loved this dress. Very comfortable to wear and yet just so sexy. You will need some adhesive bra pads but otherwise this fit great. Recommend for black tie events.

I had so many people complimenting me all night. Even random people at the hotel. It fits so well and shows off curves. Usually I need longs since I'm pretty tall but 6r was great for length. I go between 4 and 6 usually depending on what fits my hips/butt and the 6 was great. 

Dress fits perfectly like a glove and hugs you in all the right places. The length is perfect with 3-4in heels (5'3"). I received compliments from everyone at the wedding as "the girl in the red dress," it was so flattering! I sized up from 6 to 8 because of the bust (36C). Would buy this and wear it again in a heartbeat! Loved every minute I wore it, don't think twice about adding it to your cart. Would pair with gold jewelry. 

Fit was great. I wore the 10L, I'm 5'6, 175lbs and the regular would have been too short. The dress was understated but this red was bold enough on its own. This was my first time ordering and I was hesitant, but now I love it.  I have more confidence with the results going forward!

I received so many compliments on this dress! It's a show stopper. I have a very small chest and was almost coming out the top so I wouldn't suggest it if you have a larger chest. You can't wear a bra with it. 

The dress was beautiful. The straps were a bit long for me. I was looking forward to wearing heels since I got the long size but it was not long enough for that! Great dress very comfortable. Danced all evening!

i ordered this dress for my junior year prom and loved it! it was great that nobody had the same dress as me, and the 2 was a perfect fit. i loved the material! would definitely order again

I wore this dress to the military ball. It was super comfortable, the fabric is stretchy but still supportive. There are two sets of hooks in the back so you can adjust the bust size.

Loved this dress! Wore it for a gala. The top is very slim so you have to be comfortable with showing a bit of cleavage — but with that being said, I didn’t have to wear a bra or stickies or anything and they stayed up and in all night!

Love this dress!  So easy to wear! Fabric is a heavier weight and a bit stretchy!  I am 6 foot tall, 168 lbs, typically wear 31 jeans.  I wore this 10L with heels and it was perfect!   Lots of compliments!  

Snug fit. Hugged the curves but allowed for an entire night of dancing. I'm a 6 on top and a 6/8 on bottom and wore the 8 because it allowed more room all over. Great stretchy material. Received many compliments!

Great dress overall but the clasp in the back is similar to a bra. If you have it on the loosest part the metal shows. Fit was great though and I liked the length

The dress arrived on time and fit perfectly other than being a little long.  We tacked it with lingerie tape which held beautifully and was easy to remove for shipping back.  My daughter (who wore this to prom) is 5'3" and weighs 140 pounds (though solid muscle from years of sports).  Fit is best for a small chested and thin or athletic girl.  If you have a broad torso or full chest, this may not be the best cut for you.  (See the swimmer's review).  The dress was elegant and she got multiple compliments.  No one had a dress like it. 
 Shipping back was a breeze!

This dress is a bombshell look it definitely shows off your figure. Although, I loved this dress and many of my friends and family did as well, I did not end up wearing for a fundraiser gala and went instead with my other rented dress for a more classic look. I would definitely consider renting this dress again for a more fun party vibe! 

I sized up and it worked, although I probably could have worn a smaller size. I definitely needed the tall for length. 

Got so many compliments on this dress! Also was my back up! So happy with RTR customer service :) they got this dress to me ASAP and made everything so easy. 

The dress fit like a glove and was truly a show stopper. I honestly felt like a million bucks! I usually only wear black and thought I'd give the red a try - it was perfect! I'm a DD and the dress really kept me in without being exceptionally revealing. Also, I'm 5'5 and the long was the perfect length with heels. 

absolutely INCREDIBLE dress. i felt fantastic and  didn't want to send it back!

LOVED this dress. I received so many compliments. Overall the 10 was a little big at the cut outs but the 8 was a little too tight for my liking. Highly recommend. 

This was perfect for the military ball I wore it for. It wan a bit larger than I wanted at the sides where it was cutout,  but better to be a little loose than too snug in my opinion. I think I read a review somewhere that the straps are adjustable-- they are not. But they fit well on me! Gorgeous and flattering. The first dress that I for had a broken clasp but RTR overnighted this one to me and it worked out great- they were very apologetic and wanted to make it right. Great customer service. 

I am 5ft tall, so i was worried about the length, but with my 3in heals the Petite was the PERFECT length! The only thing that was a bit of a bummer is that i thought i would be able to get away with no bra, but my boobs didnt quite fill the top peice out on their own so i needed a sticky bra. So, if you are smaller chested you might want to try sizing down or make sure you have some sticky cutlets. All in all this dress was amazing, the material, the color, everything! I got so many compliments and i was comfortable dancing all night!

I could have gotten away with the 8 but due to a gathering of mainly older and conservative guests I decided to size up. The front the dress is very classy and the back is a little more revealing. I wore a pashmina shawl around most of the night. It's a nice dress and I did receive compliments throughout the night. At 5'5" with 2 inch heels it was still a bit long but not too bad. Overall would recommend.

I rented this for a formal Christmas party. It truly fit like a glove, and the fabric had enough weight and stretch that it felt like it kept everything pulled in nicely. Spanx helped smooth everything out nicely because of the body hugging nature of the dress it was necessary. I also felt like my posture improved that night because I was very aware to stand up straight. If I didn't I worried my back fat might roll out the side cut outs! Ha ha! Bottom line unless you are stick thin, you need confidence and good posture to wear this dress! Fortunately I was feeling confident and it must have shown as I received many compliments. Lots of "hot mammas" and "sexy" but I never felt overtly sexy, it was a subtle sexy. Overall, good rental but not my favorite. 

5'11" 155lbs. Not ideal for big boobs. I'm 36A and there was no room for anything else in there. (I'm also a swimmer so my wide.) I ordered 4L but it was too small to snap the back. This was the most stunning dress! I was so upset it didn't fit. Perfect length for tall woman since it just barely touched the ground while barefoot. 

I received MANY compliments on this gorgeous dress! I rented a Size 6 and ended up wearing a Size 8 so I could feel comfortable even after eating and drinking at the wedding. Super flattering shape, no need to wear a bra. Back of the top is adjustable like a bikini top.

Beautiful dress.  The fit was excellent and I loved the material.  I'm 5'10 with heels so the 4L was perfect.   I would say very true to size, but boobs that are larger than a C cup might struggle with the top a bit:  I'm a full C and it fit snuggly but any bigger cup would have been very tight.

Stop looking and rent this dress! Got a million compliments on top of the fact that it is a very flattering cut and super comfortable. Danced and ate in it all night! 

Great stretchy fabric good for adjusting to body types (I have small bust and was concerned top would be loose but no issues, can also wear a regular bra. Would recommend spanx.

Pros: color, perfect height for petite (5 ft)
Cons: tight in the back & clasps like a bra

Although the dress came with a stain on the bottom, I wore it anyway since it was so gorgeous!  I'm 5'2" and the 0P was still a little long with 3 inch heels, but I didn't have any trouble walking in it. Received a ton of compliments and will rent it again for sure!  RTR was very understanding about the stain and overnighted more dresses, but I still liked this one best and you couldn't see the stain. Awesome customer service!

The dress itself was beautiful!  I originally ordered the 6R and it fit perfectly, but I felt that the size 8R would be much more comfortable.  The dress was a hit and I was showered with compliments all night.  The only downside of this dress was the latches on the back.  Now, I had it originally on the smallest it would go comfortably, but I noticed right away that the latches didn't seem to be on there very well.  Sure enough, the first set literally came completely off.  I re-latched it to the second row, and not even an hour later, those came off too!  I ended up having quickly put my jacket on and left the reception shortly afterwards.  I have NEVER come across something like that before.  

Loved the dress got so many compliments. Very flattering. I am wider set and it slimed my figure and hugged my best curves and hid my worst. Nice thicker strong fabric too so it isn't flimsy and cheap. 

Form fitting and flattering for a curvier girl

Absolutely loved this dress. Glad I got the long. I am 5'9" and this would have been awkward without the long size. I felt so glamorous in this dress, I did not want to take it off. I rented it for a wedding and did not end up wearing it because I literally did not want to show up the bride, that's how amazing I felt in this dress LOL. I chose a shorter more "wedding guest" style. I am a 34D and I did not have to squeeze into the top. I thought everything fit perfect. Even the most seamless underwear showed in this so I would not recommend. The material also has a bit of stretch to it. Will rent again for a ball or black tie event.
