The dress was really pretty in person - comfy & moveable, it looks a little frumpy here in the photo (perhaps gorging in Vegas didn't help my cause). I am 5'10, 155 lbs, 34B (+padding), size 6 with an athletic, volleyball build and wore a size Small. Lots of compliments! 

This dress was perfect for the occasion (Sweet 16). Fit was true to size. The only reason for the missing stars is that I've had other dresses I've rented that I loved even more!

Wore this dress when I was 7 months pregnant. Belly caused it to ride up a bit, but my planned dress didnt work out so I was very glad when this one fit! Really pretty.

I LOVED wearing this dress. I was so nervous when a backup S wasn't available (I'm usually 2-4 in dresses, occasionally 0 or even 6 depending on the brand/fit), but the XS ended up fitting perfectly without any help (other than a padded bra- which was hot pink, and you can't really tell!). I generally don't like tank top type sleeves since I don't like my upper arms, but this didn't squeeze weirdly or anything. It ended up a little shorter than I expected, which I was happy about. You could tell it had been worn before, of course, but was otherwise in good condition. This fit my school's Masquerade Ball auction theme perfectly and I loved pairing it with a black mask and red lipstick. My boyfriend at the time said my butt looked good too, so there's that! My first RTR experience but definitely not my last!

Great classy dress was perfect for a rehearsal dinner for a friend's wedding. 

The overall fit was great. I'm petite so I liked the length of the dress because I don't like my dresses to fit short. The dress fit comfortably. The only con I could say is that the slip of the dress is longer than the sheer/sequenced part of the dress which was a bummer because I found myself trying to adjust it only because I didn't like that the slip peeked out from the bottom of the dress. Other than that I loved the dress and will definitely be renting from RTR in the future! 

This was my 5th rental from RTR, and probably my least favorite, only because it was a little too snug in my midsection. I rented a small and unfortunately could not rent another size because the medium was not available. The dress was beautiful and I received a lot of compliments on it, but I kept having to pull it down when I sat. I didn't have a problem with the beige layer hanging too low under the black beaded layer, which was a plus. 

I paired it with nude heels, a nude clutch and a black blazer. 

Overall loved the dress! I was celebrating our 50th anniversary at work. We hosted a business/black tie optional gala. The dress was the perfect length. Light enough to dance in. Except it kept bunching around the small of my back. Also the dress is more of a dark tan with a hint of olive green hue. Not really "nude" I would rent this again.  Work a traditional bra and spanx. 

This dress was the perfect bit of sparkler for a bachelorette weekend. The fit was perfect, it was loose in all the right places and tight where it counted. Very flattering!

The size was perfect, I am usually a size 4 so the small fit like a glove

Loved:
- Style, cut, fabric, detail

Meh:
- Fit - it was a bit tight on my hips and mid-section. I would have liked to go a size up if they had it
- Know that this dress does not have any "give" to it and does not hide anything. I'd recommend wearing a body shaper, unless you don't have any problem areas.

The mother of the groom said this was the most stunning dress at the wedding, second to the bride of course! This dress was a great fit for me - it hugged my body well but was a little loose in the bust (a typical issue for me) but not so much that it was a problem. The tan lining hung longer than the outer layer as you can see in the picture but it wasn't a big deal. Glad a previous review I had read said to wear spanx so I was prepared there! 

Fit well and was very comfortable all night. Easy to sit and dance in. Not a lot of stretch to the fabric and the lining rides up a bit. Got a ton of compliments and felt great in it. 

I loved this dress! I was a little worried about it being too short, but it fit great. I had no problem dancing or lifting my arms. I got compliments the whole night!

I wore a size small. I'm 5'4", 120, and DD. It's very pretty. I had to pin the slip up because it was longer than the dress. I ordered this dress for a holiday party (along with a gold sequined dress) and decided this one wasn't quite  festive enough. Very pretty though!

The dress was very comfortable to move around and dance in.  I was worried the XS would be too small, but it fit perfectly for my frame (even ran a little large).  I did, however, need to wear a bra that added 2 cup sizes in order to fill out the bust or else there is visible sagging of the nude material under the beading. 

I loved the feel of this dress. It was a little worn, but nothing too bad--where I couldn't wear it. I received a ton of compliments. The dress fit comfortably, but a little loose for me

This dress was very elegrant!  I received a lot of compliments and felt like a million bucks!  I typically wear a size medium, but I wore a size large in this dress.  I have larger hips and there is no stretch in the dress so keep that in mind when ordering.  Would definitely recommend this dress!  

I'm a horrible person that never likes to wear formal wear more than once, so RTR comes to the rescue every time. I thought I would have to wear the M in this dress but the S actually fit better.

This dress is super comfortable and flattering!

This was definitely one of my favorite rentals. It was beautiful, unique, and perfect for a fall wedding. I got so many compliments on this beauty all night. It is definitely form fitting so I would recommend wearing spanx but I do think that is figure flattering. If you like to flaunt your curves you definitely won't go wrong with this dress!

This dress was perfect wedding-attire. It was classy and not too revealing, yet it was still sexy and fun! The dress was true to size, though there was a bit of extra material around my waist, (I couldn't tell if it was made that way or if the specific dress I wore had been stretched from a previous rental). I will say the dress looks darker in person than it does in pictures. It appears more gray than cream with black sequins. The lining of the dress was very soft and comfortable, though by the end of the night, the underside of my upper arms were a little sore from rubbing against the sequins, but that's to be expected. Overall,  it was a wonderful dress!

This dress was amazing. Fit great and I got so many compliments. 

Beautiful dress, got several compliments all night long. Runs true to size, lining was a little longer than the overlay. Another great experience with RTR! 

I was worried that size XS would be too small, but fabric is pretty stretchy and it actually fit very well. If in doubt, I would suggest choosing the smaller size.The lining was longer than the overlay, I had to pin it up. Overall a beautiful dress and worked great for my height.

This is my first time renting a dress and I was a little nervous. As soon as I received the dress, I was very pleased.  The dress is beautiful in person and it fit very nicely on my body. I have a large chest and a small waist and the fitting was not an issue. It was so comfortable. I received compliments all night long! I love this website and I will definitely be renting more dresses in the future!

Great dress! Perfect fit and very unique! 

Slightly stretchy and very comfortable. The beading was gorgeous. Length was perfect- not too short. I was nervous the bottom layer was going to bunch up but it stayed in place all night and fit perfectly. 

I wore this dress for a work party in San Antonio, Texas. The vibe of this dress fit right into the venue-I didn't want to take it off! I was a bit nervous at the S/M/L sizing when I first rented the dress, but the Medium fit me like a glove. The beading was exquisite and I felt like a princess the whole night! 

Fit perfectly, a little stretchy, so it had give to make it so comfy. 

Was very true to size and very comfortable.  It looks better in person than in pictures in my opinion.

The dress fit beautifully but the bottom material would ride up on occasion. That was my only complaint. 

Fit was good, not too long even though I am 5'3".  It isn't skin tight, but does have a nice fit.  I would rent again!

With my body type, it is always a struggle to find a dress that fits properly and doesn't make me look like a "lady of the night."  This dress is PERFECTION.  If you are petite and top heavy like me, this is the dress for you.  In a sea of little black dresses, I stood out...in the best way!  The sequins were not scratchy at all and the fit was universally complimentary.  I almost ordered the Medium but I'm glad I didn't.  The small fit my body nicely (similar to a size 2) and the medium would probably have been a little too long.  I wish I could buy this dress!

This dress is definitely a beautiful piece. I rented this dress as a backup to another dress and could only pick one size for it. But the XS was great. Snug in the right places and was very flattering overall. You can wear any bra under this with no worries. My only complaint is that the inner slip was longer than the black top layer and had actually been safety pinned up from the previous person. Which is strange to me that they were left on it. Overall I would definitely rent this again, I got compliments all night long and I wish I could own it! 

My foundation honored George Clooney last night (we told him to make it good and so he made that face) and I needed a black tie dress that I could still set up and tear down in. This dress was beautiful and I received a lot of compliments on it. A lot of the reviews said to wear spanx and I agree, it will show every curve of your body because of the fabric. Overall it was a beautiful dress! 

This dress was elegant and easy to wear to see a play with my husband. The length is good for sitting and the fabric is light and comfortable. There was a little extra room in the large, but not too much - I don't know that the medium would have worked for me, so this was just fine. The black sequin detail is beautiful and I enjoyed wearing the dress. It wasn't a very formal affair, so I tried to make it a little more casual with a low wedge heel and I threw a black suit jacket over it. It'd be very easy to crank it up a few notches and really make it a stunner at a wedding or more formal cocktail evening. 

Amazing dress! Very stretchy and figure-flattering. This photo does it no justice, it hugged curves well and hid "those spots." Keep accessories light, the dress speaks for itself!

I wore this dress to a fall wedding. The pattern is unique and the beading is beautiful. The dress is comfortable, too, which is always a plus!
