Order up .. I generally wear a 2 or a 4 and I wore  6.  I did not have to wear a bra with this dress it was snug.  Even though getting it zipped up was a small chore it was not uncomfortable at all. I danced with my 7 year old all night.  I should probably buy this dress. 

Flattering, chic, and versatile! The below-the-knee length balances the super low neckline. So glad I sized up after reading other reviews!

I am top heavy but this dress still fit my bust without being too large on my narrow hips and waist. 120 lbs 36D 5'6"

This dress made me feel so beautiful, confident and sexy!! I usually wear a size 4 but the 6 fit me perfectly! Fit like a glove, received many compliments throughout the night! 

The fit was good and I did wear spanx underneath. I am curvy, 5'6 and 170lbs for reference- I wore a size 12. I had twins 3 years ago and wanted something that accentuated my curves but did show off all my imperfections from my pregnancy and this was perfect! Sexy and sophisticated. 

I got a size 12 (I'm a size 8) because that was the only size available - if I rent again I would only go up one size. Either way, it fit with the exception of being loose in the bust. I'm sure it would've fit fine had I worn a bra with it. I wore the dress to a nice restaurant for my birthday dinner and my boyfriend said whenever I got up, men and women would turn to look at me. It's definitely a showstopper - sexy yet classy. I highly recommend renting this dress if it's available. 

I sized up and was glad I did. Probably could have gone with the 10, but the 12 was comfy. I felt like this was the LBD I have always wanted to wear. Very sleek, elegant, not too much but definitely got some compliments on it. I would rent again for sure.

This dress fit like a glove. I normally wear a two and had to wiggle into it. So you may consider sizing up. Once on, it was so flattering and I received compliments all night. It was for a work event, so I paired it with a blazer and it was the perfect combination of sophisticated and sexy. 

This dress is fantastic. Wore it for dinner in Vegas, but would have worked for anything. The corset style of the top is very sexy, but the midi-length keeps it from crossing over to the trashy side. Runs a little small, so be sure to size up, especially if you have a larger chest.

This dress was perfect for my anniversary date.  It was structured in its fit, not having any stretch to it. So I was happy I got a size up since the reviews said it ran small.  With that being said, this was a very elegant LBD which flaunted all the right curves and was very sexy.  I highly recommend. 

I usually wear a 12, ended up wearing the back up 14. Nice thick material and no bra needed. Felt like a million dollars wearing this. 

it does run small. For context, I am about 126 lbs, and I thought size 8 would be too big. (In other words, if you have wide hips, order the bigger size as a backup). Thank goodness I did listen to review. Loved it. The right fit is perfectly snug.

Curve hugging. I could've probably gone a size bigger to be more comfortable but this made me feel like a bombshell. Also made my small chest look amazing. Didn't need to wear a bra with it. The length made me feel very 50s due to my height, made it a bit more formal that way. Great dress!

Wore this dress to my birthday dinner with my girlfriends. Fit was perfect! I am pretty small chested and I felt that it fit me beautifully despite that. Definitely am wishing I bought this beauty and had it as a staple in my closet! Paired with a big faux fur jacket also from RTR!

I sized up as it runs small I normally wear 4-6 I wore an 8 so it fit perfectly 

You must size up, Be careful I usually wear 10-12 but in this case even the 12 was very small, but I was able to close it and it was beautiful. Not comfortable in the straps as they are not adjustable so they were killing me. Very uncomfortable to wear but worth it 100%, tons of compliments.

This made me feel sexy. But it did run small and I couldn't breathe well lol. There is no give,  so make sure you size up!

Great sexy wedding guest dress or perfect, classy date night. I had so much fun in this dress. It fit so well! 

This dress!! I initially rented a 4 based on reviews but there is zero stretch and no give in this dress so thank goodness for my backup size 6. It took 2 extra helpers to zip me in but partly because the zipper itself was very difficult. Once in though, this dress is phenomenal. It’s not a complaint but one mild criticism is that you’ll need to take short steps to walk in it, and it’s nearly impossible to pull it up to pee. It fits the body like a glove but that does mean some downsides. If you need a date night dress though, this will not disappoint.
