Everyone from the wedding party, the caterers, people on the street, and even the bride loved it!

I wore this dress for a summer Charleston wedding. I'm usually a size 00/0, so I was worried about the fit of the dress. Once it arrived and I was zipped in, I realized I had nothing to worry about. It fit beautifully and the detailing on the dress is much prettier in person. The color is a little more vibrant in person as well which made for a perfect summer dress. I received compliments all night and everyone raved about the lace and the bit of sparkle along the neckline.
I paired the dress with a pair of chandelier earrings with the same type of sparkle from the dress, and I dressed it down with a pair of tan heels and a gold watch. This can be really dressy or it can be perfect for a summer wedding when dressed down. I loved this dress so much, I didn't want to take it off!

This dress is the epitome of beauty; it was like wearing art. The details on this dress are so stunning, not even a picture can do it justice. I wore this for a wedding and I received more compliments than I ever have in any other garment. It was so perfect for a summer wedding- sexy and sophisticated!

I was scared to rent this dress because there were no reviews for it but i loved it so much that i decided to take the chance. It was sooo beautiful, the color is amazing and the beading and lace are so elegant. I wore it for my graduation and everyone stopped me to tell me how much they loved it. I am a 2 most of the time and the 0 fit like a glove. also i am a D cup which makes it very hard to find clothes that fit both my bust and my waist and this dress was perfect. I found the exact shoes the model was wearing (aldo) and wore silver accesories. So size down and beware if you are small chested... gorgeous dress!!

I rented this gorgeous mustard-yellow dress for a vibrant Mendhi/Sangeet ceremony. The sparkles and asymmetry and amazing textures really worked for the occasion where I was surrounded by elegant and super shiny saris and other traditional festive attire. I particularly loved the raw edge lace and sheer combination along its very elegant neckline. Compliments galore!

Very beautiful and detailed dress
Size worn: 10
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
The color was very nice, and I would describe it in person as more of a chartreuse than a true yellow. The detailing is gorgeous, and the length was great (just hitting below the knee). I have wide hips, so this dress was a little tight in the thigh, as it does not have much give but anyone with smaller hips would be fine. I wore a size 10 and it was perfect for me.

Color and design = PERFECTION! Not great to move in + delicate overlay, but might be worth it!
Size worn: 2
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
I'm most often a size 4. This dress looked pretty fitted, but despite recent junk food binges, I'm glad I sized down rather than up. The 2 ended up being ideal (with the help of a waist cincher).
This Marchesa gown might work best for bustier ladies with smaller waists. While the 2 fit me like a glove below the bust line, it was too large in the shoulders/arms/chest. The nude overlay wrinkled up with movement and the folds took away from the elegance of the dress. The sleeves flared out just a touch too much. I don't have bony arms, so I can't imagine what it would look like on the super-petite. Fleshier-armed ladies can probably rock this better than others.
I ended up not wearing this to the event because I noticed a small 1.5" tear in the lacy overlay fabric; while it wasn't noticeable at all, I was afraid that any movement would have caused it to expand. RTR was fabulous as always, and remedied the situation quickly and gracefully.
While this dress is without argument GORGEOUS, it is also very delicate and movement restricting. As mentioned, I would recommend getting this in your regular size, but only if you are curvier on top and can fill it out so that it doesn't look quite as baggy. If I had worn it, I would have opted for the 2 to bypass the comically baggy top portion, but my stomach area/waist would have been happier in my usual 4.
I'm still giving this dress five stars, though, because it is absolutely lovely and the color is luscious. If you have the right shape, it will probably be one of the best dresses you'll ever rent from RTR! Not a "get-down-and-dirty-on-the-dancefloor" dress, but great for standing around and feeling fancy. It'll work on short and tall ladies alike.

Gorgeous dress but a headache
Size worn: 16
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
I saw this dress online and IMMEDIATELY fell in love. I have a hard time renting from RTR due to my size and some dresses are more matronly than I'd like to wear. I saw the navy blue version of this in person and loved the detail. I get the dress in the mail and no issue zipping it up. Fast forward to the night of the wedding. I am about to jump on the shuttle to go to the venue when the zipper opens. The teeth unraveled and without my extremely patient boyfriend, I don't know what I would have done without any back up and being out of town. It took us 15-20 minutes to fix it and used a safety pin to ensure the bottom of the zipper wouldn't do it again. Luckily, I was good for the rest of the night. I love RTR but I haven't had a stress free dress rental yet. Hoping the next one goes smoothly.

I rented this dress (and the earrings) for my bridal shower. It was PERFECT. Beautiful detail and PERFECT fit. I am normally between a size 0-2 and the 0 fit like a glove. Not much give due to the ornate fabric so you're not going to be doing extravagant dance moves in this dress but it was perfect for my shower and would be perfect for a nice semi-formal/formal event where short dresses are appropriate. The color is really beautiful as well. I loved everything about it!

Nonstop compliments on the unusual color!

Overall fit: True to Size

The dress wasn't the mustardy color I was expecting, but as one review put it, almost a chartreuse...an olive-y yellow maybe. Regardless, it was all anyone could talk about at the black-tie wedding! The fit was great for a curvy size 6; maybe a tad roomy in the shoulders, but that was actually good for dancing. This was my first rental, and after how easy the process was and how fun it was to have such a standout dress, I will only be using RTR for all my special events!

I ordered this dress for my brother's formal wedding. Unfortunately they only had one size available for that weekend, but I loved this dress so much I took a chance! I am nearly always a size 6, and this one fit true to size. I got compliments ALL night about this dress - complete strangers stopping me to ask where I got it from. I could never have afforded to buy this gown, which is why I love RTR! I highly recommend renting this dress for a formal event. I'm still getting notifications on FB and Instagram on this picture! Rent this, you won't regret it.

This was the first time I ever used RTR and I was very pleased. I was a bit worried about the fit because the only size available was a 10 and I can often range from an 8-12, depending on cut. The dress fit wonderfully but I do agree with other reviewers that this isn't a dress you want to dance the night away in, as it does not have much give in the delicate lace areas. I received so many compliments throughout the entire evening. The dress is stunning and the color is divine.

Gorgeous, Classy and Sexy
Size worn: 2
Overall fit: Large
Rented for: Wedding
I wore this to a Black Tie wedding at a beautiful castle. The color is vibrant and can't be missed. The material is absolutely gorgeous and it screams elegance. I normally wear a size 4, but opted to wear the size 2 in this dress. The size 4 had a larger shoulder area and it slumped a bit, making it look matronly. The size 2 was tighter and a much better fit around the hips and shoulders. It was a very sexy look with the tight waist and sparkly waistband. In my second photo, you can see the back is open. I could NOT close this dress on my own as your arms cannot go above your head or you run the risk of ripping the delegate lace at the seams. (Size 4 probably would have been fine) I could wear a strapless bra without issue of it peeking through. I was fearful of not being able to pull up the skirt to use the restroom, but there is JUST enough room to do that. The material is not flexible. The lining is double sided and was never an issue.
I would rent this dress again!

I received so many compliments wearing this dress to an outdoor DC wedding. The color is a showstopper. It's such a hard color to describe since it looked different colors in different lights. So inside while getting ready, it was more of an olive green/mustard yellow. Then out in the sunshine, it was more of a goldenrod yellow/hint of green. Awesome color that you can pair with any color accessories (I went with navy accessories, and nude/gold shoes). Very comfortable, even in the 95 degree heat/humidity of DC in August. The beading and detail is amazing. The sheer section on top is very sheer, so you'll have to wear a strapless bra. I tried the see-through bra straps and you could still see them. The cap sleeves were a little annoying since you couldn't move as well, but they were still comfortable. Definitely not a dress you could wear to a reception, as there was no give in it at all. Overall, a wonderful dress for any occasion.

The color was absolutely perfect for what I wanted, which was a fall wedding. The dress is so comfortable and flattering that it was easy to wear. Not only that, but the compliments were abundant.
I typically wear a 4 in "regular clothes" and a 2 in dresses. The 2 fit perfectly, the 4 was a little baggy and not as flattering.
Such a great experience from renting to wearing!

Very elegant dress
Size worn: 2
Overall fit: True to Size

I chose this to wear as maid of honor dress for an outdoor summer wedding and I could not have been happier with my choice. This dress is true to size. I ordered my usual size 2 and a back-up size 4- the size 2 was a perfect. The quality of the fabric is great and the details are beautiful. I specifically like that it has a nice lining. On the RTR website, the dress appears to be a sunflower shade of yellow, but in person it actually has a sort of greenish tint, which I didn't mind. It has a zipper and then a hook at the top- I had to have someone else hook it closed for me. I wore it with a strapless bra and champagne-colored pumps. I also chose to wear a simple bracelet because I didn't want anything to draw attention from the beautiful details, especially the neckline. The compliments were coming in all day and it was heart wrenching to have to return it, but I think the next person to wear it might feel the same way.

Size worn: 10
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Party
I am usually a 8, but the 10 fit better for my 34D chest. The 8 fit well everywhere else , and I could have worn the size 8 if I didn't have a choice. The deep yellow color is unique, looks great on darker skin tones in my opinion. Liner material I felt was thin, then with lace overlay, showed every bulge but spanx solved the problem easily. Only complaint was that the two small hooks at neckline above zipper in back easily kept coming undone, and over course of evening, friends had to keep redoing them. For my height of 5'3", the dress came just below my knees. Danced in the evening without restriction at arms or shoulders.

I wore this dress for our engagement party. My fiance is Indian so I was looking for something that would fit in beautifully among the colorful saris. I came across this dress and had to look no further. The color is a wonderful mustard, perfect for an October party, and is so feminine and detailed with the lace and subtle beading. I wore a size 0 and it fit like it was customized for me (I am 32 - 24 - 33). I received compliments all night on the dress and was so happy with my choice. The dress is simply stunning!

I wore this dress for my sister's rehearsal dinner. The attire was dressy cocktail, and I was her maid of honor, so I wanted to make sure I looked very appropriate!

The length hits right at the knee and the beading at the waist is such a beautiful detail as well. I would absolutely rent this dress again, and I may try the other color next time!

I wore this to a wedding in Philadelphia and people on the street were complimenting the beautiful dress, which continued all night.
It really was a gorgeous dress - the chartreuse color was the perfect shade and so out of the ordinary, the lace looked expensive, and the crystal embellishments around the neck waste were lovely. I didn't feel great in the dress though. There are some dresses that make curves look sexy & beautiful, but this just wasn't one of them. I would recommend this dress for someone small or someone with a long, lean body.

The dress was fabulous for a wedding. It is stunning and has a great amount of lace work that compliments a bride, without completely stealing the show. Initially, I was hesitant about the color, as a blond, but the yellow did not wash me out. It was also comfortable to wear and very simple to get on and off. It sat well and fit in a way that did not leave me thinking about my body or my appearance, freeing me to completely focus on the bride and groom, confident that I looked great.
