Wore this to an event and felt amazing in it. The fit was great, but definitely need to pin it if you are bigger in the chest and don't want to be giving a free show :-)

Very flattering fit
Size worn: 2
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Party
I wore the Ivory Lurex Halter Dress to a company holiday party in San Francisco along with the Gold Textured Cut Out Cuff. I thought the dress might be too short but found the length appropriate. The cut and fit was very flattering. The material was surprisingly thick because it looks like it would be more light weight in the pictures, so I liked that it wasn't thin, see-though or have a "fly-away" texture. It was very comfortable fit, it didn't ride up, wasn't too tight around waist, and didn't itch or pull on the behind-the-neck closure. Also, the color and size were true to description and photos. I usually wear a size 2 or 4 in dresses, and wore the 2 for this stylist here. I was, however, a little self-conscious about the front. On the model it looks like the front is completely covered and closed, but it fit me as though it was supposed to have a peep hole. I used a little bit of fashion tape with an adhesive bra and that did the trick for me. Overall, I would rate this dress my number one rental and would look for similar styles and fits for future events!

cute, unique cut
Size worn: 6
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Party
If you have a tiny waist, size down. Otherwise, size up. I should have ordered up an 8, so if you look closely at my second pic, you'll notice I just zipped 2/3 up and tucked part of the back zipper in. I see why people were commenting about how much cloth there is at the chest part, but I think they just needed to pull the dress down, lower than the upper rib cage area. Make sure to tape the peephole together! I wore a nu bra just in case, but you could probably go without it if you're taped in right. Here's a clip of how pretty it shimmers in very dim light as well: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HifeDDJBD8s

Size worn: 2
Overall fit: True to Size

For the most part, dress fit rather nicely and I received so many compliments on it. I just felt like the two pieces on the back would occasionally flare open, and i would have to adjust it by pulling the dress down. I believe that if i had gone with a smaller size, that wouldn't be an issue. I rented a 2, which is my usual size, however it is true that on some items i occasionally have to go down a size to get the right fit.

This dress was absolutely GORGEOUS! I wore it for my Rehearsal Dinner and got a ton of compliments!!
Size worn: 6
Overall fit: Large
Rented for: Formal Affair
I typically wear a size 8, but when I put the 8 on, the top was way too big and there was extra space around my waist. The six fit perfectly, but the top still seemed a little large. I think it is designed that way to give the wearer a bit of room to move (the material has zero give). The zipper is a bit tough to zip as the material of the dress makes the tiny zipper challenging to zip all the way (does that make sense?). Also, there is an eye hole in the front, so the girls might peek out a little! Overall, the dress is beautiful, I was just a little self conscious because there is NO WAY you can wear a bra with this! It was worth it though! I couldn't have worn a more perfect dress!!! :) BTW, these pictures don't do the dress any justice.

Cute daytime fun dress....for the right body type!
Size worn: 4
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Party
Nice dress, BUT... this dress is best for a tall girl with super long legs. The high waistband placement, short skirt and twist front all conspire to shorten your torso. If you have short legs, your gonna look like a squished oompa-loopa. I'm slender with longer limbs and even I looked slightly chubby and squat. The waist band is super fitted with NO stretch so you might want to size up. Also, the back is open but the fit is unforgiving, so if you have loose back skin or back fat this dress will display it all. If you are tall or super thin or long limbed and are medium chested, this dress will look awesome. Its all about the legs, so wear your super sky-high stilettos and ROCK ON!

Loved it! Because I have a very small chest, I didn't have to wear a bra, but this would definitely be a problem for someone who has a larger one. The back is open and flawless-I felt great. I did use dress tape in a couple spots just to be safe, but never felt conscious that I would have a slip up.

A unique dress that is just as fun to wear as it is to hear "oohs" and "aahs" from fellow partygoers
Size worn: 6
Overall fit: True to Size

The yellow/gold accents on the dress are glittery, so expect some shimmer. Also, the keyhole in front of the dress (that you can't see in the pictures) may have to be pinned together if you have broad shoulders. For salsa dancing, the skirt of the dress proved to be the perfect length. Open back shows off one's back in a tasteful manner. Overall, this was a fun, flirty dress that, with a few pins, made for a great night!

I wore this dress to a charity ball and absolutely loved it! Not only did I feel amazing in the dress, but I also received many compliments. One of my favorite aspects about this dress was the style/cut, which not only fit my body well but was also something a bit different.This dress covered the not so perfect areas of my body and highlighted everything else perfectly. I also loved the color, the gold accents are even more stunning in person! There was a gap in fabric in the bust that was not as noticeable on the model, but that did not bother me at all. Also you could easily use double sided tape to conceal the gap as there is fabric to work with around the bust.

Gorgeous dress!! Surprisingly comfortable!!
Size worn: 4
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
Wore it formal wedding in September at a trendy place in Philly. Got so many compliments throughout the night from other girls and guys too. One other wedding guest called called me "the girl with the amazing dress", haha. I paired the dress with gold chandelier earring, patent leather nude peep toe maryjanes, rhinestone and pearl stacked bracelets and a metallic linen envelope clutch.
I am small busted so the opening at the front really wasn't noticeable which I preferred because you cannot wear a bra with this dress due to the amazing open back design it has. But if I was well-endowed there would be no way I could pull this dress off without something inappropriate popping out. But overall for a $50 rental, TOTALLY worth every penny and minute wearing it and then some.

I rented this dress for my prom. I was nervous about the dress because of the reviews written about it but it worked out so well! I am a 36D and it fit around the bust perfectly. There was a little bit of extra material but it did not bother me. I would recommend this dress to girls who are a C or D because of how it fits and not to ones who are smaller in that area. Also I recommend to wear your hair up when you wear this dress because my hair got caught a couple times on the buttons in the back. I got so many compliments on this dress and my date loved it!

I rented this to wear to my rehearsal dinner. The dress was very blousy on top, and had a short skirt. My torso was too short for the top, and because of the style of the dress (defined waist), there was nothing to do to make it wearable. The fabric was very pretty, though!

I hated this dress. I have loved everything that I've rented from RTR, and I was really disappointed by this dress. It was super complicated to put on. I got tangled a few times. I hated that it pushed my boobs down and made them look droopy. It might look better on an athletic build or a straight and narrow, thin body type, but not on me. The skirt was very full and the dress just wasn't flattering. I didn't even bother packing it for my vacation.

Not wedding-appropriate
Size worn: None
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
I was excited to wear this dress to a formal wedding, but should have been more thoughtful about the style before renting it. I read several reviews of women who wore this dress to weddings, and I must say, while it's a beautiful party dress, I don't think it's wedding-appropriate at all. I have pretty long legs so dresses are typically a bit shorter on me, but this one was extremely short when I tried it on (as in, don't-drop-anything short), and the back is entirely open. I would recommend this dress for a birthday or night out, but definitely not for a wedding. I ended up sending this one right back.

The dress has so much potential, but in my case it just didnt fit! :( The bust was too large and baggy around the sides, the neck was tight and the waist was very tight. I typically wear a 4, but the 4 was so tight it wouldn't zip and the 6 zipped but was uncomfortably tight. I rented this dress for a date night with my husband, but am returning it due to size. I love RTR so this is not going to deter me from renting again!

This was a very cute dress and I liked it a lot, but the top seemed a bit stretched out, making me look a little wider on top than I am. Also, I felt it was too short for my tall frame (which was something I should have paid a little more attention to before renting it!). I ended up wearing a back-up dress because I felt more comfortable in it-- but wouldn't hesitate recommending it to others!

I bought it for NYE in Key West and never ended up wearing it. It was so pretty, but the fit was too big in the chest (I am a size 12, 36 C). The key hole was really odd and with an open back, you can't wear a bra so you look saggy. I really wanted it to work out, but it didn't.

It's an odd fit
Size worn: None
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
The dress came and although gorgeous, the two sizes I ordered didn't fit. I am in between sizes but usually wear a 6 but figured I would order the 8 just in case because I have a very wide back so it's difficult for me to wear dresses that zip in the back. You can't really wear a bra with it so it's an odd fit.
The 6 was to small to for me to zip it but I still had room on the top and the 8 I could zip but it was huge in my chest area. If I could have worn a bra with the dress the 8 probably would have fit better.
