This dress is absolutely beautiful! It was so nice, and the lace was gorgeous. A bit tight in the rib cage area, but looked fantastic and got a ton of compliments! Definitely was sad to return the dress, and would rent it again!

When the dress first arrived I wasn't sure I was going to love it. The stitching on the black lace overly of the bottom half of the dress was a little silver and and I initially didn't like it because it didn't match the rest of the fabric but it was my only wardrobe option for the wedding I was attending. Once I got ready the day of the event I was surprised to discover that I really loved the dress! It fit perfectly, wasn't tight in the hips and I didn't need my back up size. It is a little itchy when you first put it on but I didn't notice it at all the rest of the evening. The lining is a silk like material which means it doesn't stretch or breathe so I don't think I would recommend this for an outdoor event in the summer. Overall I really enjoyed this dress and would definitely recommend it.

It was a beautiful dress - I ended up going with the 6 over the 4 - it definitely runs a little small, so I would opt for the next size up when ordering. It was a great dress though - I chose it because I had a formal gala for work and a bachelorette party the same night and I wanted something I could wear to both. It was comfortable although the beading rubs against your arms a little, but not too much to be annoying. Everyone loved it and I even got compliments from strangers! It was a good choice!

Great fit. Looks good without showing the goods, which is what I look for in a work party. 

My only complaint is it sometimes hurt under my arms when the dress material would rub against it. But wasn't horrible. 

It fit me well, but I am not very curvy. I probably could have worn the 2, except the waist was too small. It is hard to see but there is a wide ribbon and a flat bow around the waist and there is no give in that area. Thankfully I ordered the 2 and 4! I would recommend for anyone without a lot of curves.

The dress fit perfectly. Was not too itchy under the arms. The leg movement is very restricting so small steps and not getting into a tall vehicle are recommended ! Otherwise this was one of my favorite rentals ! 

The gold and black combination is an elegant combination. The top is rich in color and lace detail. I wore this dress to my graduation from Nurse Anesthesia School. I was ecstatic and proud to have reached this milestone; the dress helped me reflect how I was feeling! Loved it!

First, apologies for the poor picture; my friend and I completely forgot to get some good photos of us that night.  The dress fit me in both the 8 and 10, however, I knew I'd be eating a ton as well as dancing later on in the night, so I chose to go with the 10 for a little extra room.  I was surprised that only the top button in back unbuttoned, however, there's a zipper on the side.  The dress was a good length standing (not too short), but once seated, I had to be careful of showing too much leg!  I found that the fabric around the arms rubbed me a bit, but I am known for having sensitive skin, and it wasn't bad once I stopped thinking about it.  Overall, the dress is not made of very giving fabric which makes it very forgiving; I didn't wear hose with it because I didn't need to suck anything in or smooth anything out - the dress did it for me.  I highly recommend this dress!

The waist fell above my natural waist (not the first time it's happened!) so I had a larger size shipped the next day. The 12 was the only larger size available, it was a bit loose but it worked out. There is no stretch at all in the waistband - so if you tend to have the same problem definitely size up!


Ordered the 4 with a 6 as back up but the under slip was a little tight so the 6 fit perfect 

Great dress. Better in person. Definitely will use RTR again!! 

This dress fit perfectly and I received so many compliments. Great quality. One recommendation is to put on the dress BEFORE doing your hair and makeup since the dress material does not have much stretch. Highly recommend.

Loved this dress, although the gold is darker than it appears on the model, so it looks a LITTLE holiday-ish. Overall, it was perfect for a work awards event. I usually wear a 4 or 6 and I ended up wearing the 6... The 4 was too tight in my hips. Great dress- glad I rented it!

I normally wear a six, but the band was a little too tight for dancing, so I went a size up. The material is beautiful...just a little scratchy.

The dress is very true to size.  The material does not have any stretch to it and it is very fitted.  I ordered the 4 and a backup size in a 6 and the 4 was perfect!  I ended up having to wear the 6 because the lace on the 4 was torn which sucked!  The 6 was fine, just a little loose around the waist but nothing that was a big deal.  The two sizes actually were not even that far off in difference.  It was still a perfect dress to celebrate our engagement in!  Be careful though as the lace gets caught on things very easily!  Although i wore the 6 the 4 would have been my overall choice.

RTR is so easy! You just click a button & a beautiful designer dress appears at your door. I'm a big fan!

I needed a dress that could work for two different events on the same night - one with a vintage theme and one where the attire  was deemed "chic."  This dress was perfect for both of these events.  I loved the fit, it accentuated all the positives.  The first event was dressy so I wore pantyhose but it is better without.

I'm pretty small (probably a 00) so a lot of the dresses in 0 are too large. However because this dress runs small the 0 fit perfectly and was very flattering to my figure. FYI-There is no "give" to this dress.  It is structured in the waist and hips which I like as it accentuates your waist. The top half is a gorgeous gold and not as tight so worked great for the conservative event I was attending.

I wish I could have had the top in a 6 and the bottom in an 8.  When the dresses arrived I tried them on and the 6 fit great but was a little bit more snug in the hips than I like.  However, I was going to wear it because the 8 was too big in the chest.  When the event day came, I was a little more bloated then usual and I had to do the 8.  It worked out fine and the only time the top looked bunchy was when I was sitting.  I would highly recommend this dress.  It is beautiful.
