Wore this *beautiful* dress for my engagement party and felt truly gorgeous! I love how it came out in the millions of photos taken that day, and it was completely comfortable to wear-true to size, well made, and easy to dance in when the time for that came later in the evening! :-P To me, this dress was a perfect, elegant choice and I highly recommend to all other "classic brides" out there (for so I came to be termed by my wedding planner and all my other wedding vendors! ;-P)

Ran a little small so glad I got the second size. Was perfect for our small wedding. 

I loved this! Did not want to send it back. Definitely order a size up, because while there's some stretch, there isn't much 

I wore this dress to receive our sacrament of marriage (our big wedding with 200 people will be next week). It's fits perfectly and is really comfortable! I would highly recommend this dress :-)

I wore this dress for my bridal shower and got so many compliments. I ordered size 6 and 4 (I usually wear a size 4 in dresses), and both fit but the 4 was too tight and felt like the clasps in back would bust if I moved my arms too much. So, if you are unsure definitly order a size up in addition to the size you normally wear. Very flattering! The lace and open back are gorgeous. 

I ordered a size 4 and a size 6 and I am usually a size 4 but my hips and are a bit wider and although I was able to fit in a size 4 I felt more comfortable and less snug in a 6. The color was more of an ivory color not as white as I expected but the lace and the the fit was perfect. I wore it for my Bridal Shower and everyone loved it!  I received so many compliments. The dress is not see through but I still wore nude color under garments. The back of the dress looks beautiful which is why I wore my hair to the side so I can show it off. You can still wear a bra but I used a strapless bra that allowed me to lower the back strap so you cant see it.  I accessorized with a light pink bracelet and earings and wore loght pink pumps.I love this dress it's Beautiful! 

Wore this for my bridal shower. The original dress I picked didn't fit so one of the rent the runway girls helped me pick a nice dress and this was perfect. I loved it and got so many compliments so flattering and I didn't have to wear a bra. Bonus !

This dress is absolutely stunning and perfect for a bridal shower. The lace detail is beautiful and the back of he dress is very elegant. Loved it!

We were planning to have a special day for us before having our main wedding party with friends. I decided to go with this dress because it is made with lace and I really loved the back. I got my order even couple days before the requested date. Usually I wear size 0 and with it I even sometimes need to go to alteration to make dresses even smaller to make them fit well. With this dress I was happy that I ordered size 2 as a backup. It fitted perfectly. 
The dress helped to me to look really awesome. Everyone mentioned that it was ideal choice and I cannot look better. It was very comfortable as well. So I will definitely recommend it but if you have Bust size bigger than C be careful, it might feel too tight. 

The dress is so much more than what you see online. I loved the dress and so did everyone at the party. Got compliments left and right. When I received it, it was in perfect condition. I got the 2 and 4 sizes and wore the 4.  For the first time renting, I had a great experience. 

I wore this dress for my catholic ceremony. This dress was everything I thought it would be and more. My now husband loved seeing me come down the aisle in this dress. Fabric and detail of this dress was perfect. I'll always have a special place in my heart for this dress. 

I wore this dress for my wedding rehearsal and I absolutely loved wearing it!!  I received so many compliments on how great it looked and I really felt amazing.  As mentioned in other reviews - no bra needed - this sucker holds you in!  **warning** this dress looks SO much better in person and on you than on the model shown.  It's a must wear for rehearsals, formal affairs, etc.

This dress was perfect for my small wedding! I am usually a size 6 but needed to wear the size 8 instead. The dress is very flattering and  the back of the dress is absolutely stunning! I wish I didn't have to send it back.

Beautiful lace detailling on this dress and I received endless compliments on the back of it. The fabric is a bit stretchy so it wasn't hard to move around in it and the detailing is just beautiful. Great dress, especially for a rehearsal dinner!

Got a TON of compliments on this dress, felt very elegant and sweet in it. Perfect for any bridal occasion. I wore it to my rehersal, rehersal dinner and welcome reception party on Friday night. Went perfect with my Kate Spade ivory wedding shoes that I got wear and break in a bit. I got the 4 and the 6. The 4 was just a little tight for my comfort and the 6 was still plenty fitted in the right areas not to feel too big. Only con is with lace it does does wear easily so this dress didn't have the brand new feel but I suppose that is typical with this type of service. Not sure how often they restock them but this did have plenty of wear left in it. Doesn't need a ton of jewelry. I wore a large pearl necklace and white earrings, stlll fairly simple. 

The fit was slim through the hips. Beautiful back detailing! An A+!

I loved the dress from the minute I opened up the box. The material was so soft and the back of the dress was amazing. All I can say is I felt so beautiful and elegant.

I wore this dress for some of my engagement pictures, taken on the Brooklyn Promenade and Brooklyn Bridge. They came out beautifully, thanks in part to this dress! I LOVED the boning/corset of the dress (no Spanx or bra necessary!), the sweetheart neckline, and the lace sleeves. My only complaint was that it felt too long - I wished the hem was at least several inches shorter. Also, although it fit perfectly in the waist, the neck felt tight when I zipped the dress and hooked the top (and I'm very small chested). You may wish to size up. The color was beautiful and the dress looked both sophisticated and feminine with a hint of sexiness all at the same time!  I wish I did not have to give it back!!!

Was a beautiful dress. Fit smaller than I thought. Usually wear a 2 in dresses, had to definitely wear the 4 in this and was tight. But okay to wear for a few hours for photos. Detailing is beautiful. 

I actually went to the RTR store in Henri Bendel and found this little gem! Ladies!!! Did you know that you can walk in and browse available dresses and leave same day with a dress?! It's amazing. I wore this to Le Diner En Blanc- NYC and it was perfect! It was supportive up top (I usually need to wear a bra!) and was able to go braless. There's also some light boning to keep things/you in place! haha It does run a bit small (I usually wear a 6) and the 8 was almost too small for me. The 10 was too big though, so I just went with the 8... probably should've worn Spanx with it, but it was fine, really. The lining rode up just a tiny bit when I would sit and I felt the need to adjust it a few times throughout the evening, but it wasn't too worrisome. I would definitely rent this dress again (though maybe in one of the other fun colors!) As far as moving in it, it's super comfortable, even though it is a fitted dress. I hit the dance floor hard in it and didn't have any issues. So happy with my choice for this event! 

I loved this dress! Wore it to my bridal shower and received so many compliments. The dress runs true to size.. I'm usually a 6 or 8 and ordered both and truly could have worn either. The material is very giving.. Super comfortable to sit down in too. I wore the 8 only bc it was the first one I tried on and figured since it fit the 6 would be too small.. Before returning I tried on the 6 out of curiosity and it fit perfect. 

The dress was true to size.. No need for a bra but I did put cups in myself for the day to feel more confident 

I rented this dress for my wedding rehearsal. As a bigger chested girl I was concerned about the open back and how my bra would show. Fun fact. I didn't need to wear a bra at all. The dress fully supported my on it's own. My mother-in-law and grandmother-in-law loved it! They kept saying it was so beautiful it could have been my wedding dress.

Loved this dress!!! The fit was amazing and I loved the low back. Wore stick on bra because of low back

this dress fit exactly how i wanted it to! it was elegant and special...perfect for my rehearsal dinner the night before my wedding. everyone was raving how great my dress was! the lace on top was very feminine, but you need a bra with a very low back and low profile in front so it does not show through the lace. 

Wore this dress to my rehearsal dinner - I was torn between the 4 and the 6, and went with the 4 as the 6 bunched a teeny bit more in the waist...whereas the 4 fit a bit tighter and therefore, less bunch. The dress is perfectly "bride-y" to wear to a rehearsal dinner, shower, etc.  Received a bunch of compliments on the dress.  The fabric is thick/sturdy enough that it's not flimsy and the lace is great quality - and the keyhole back is beautiful.  The flowers on the front of the dress aren't actually a different color as they look in the picture- it was just the way the flash was reflecting off the material :)

The dress fits perfectly, although I feel a little bit tight on my bust. It is perfect for my city hall wedding ceremony. Love it! It not only looks elegant but also a little bit sexy as well.  
For the color: the fabric pattern actually looks a little bit golden through reflection, not pure white.
The lace won't make you feel uncomfortable. You wouldn't need a nubra at all! In fact, I wouldn't be able to fit in size 4 if I wore my nubra! 

Stunning lace dress with dynamic back. Tons of compliments at my rehearsal dinner! Only negative is the lace looked worn giving away that it wasn't a "new" dress. I decided it looked "vintage" and rock it anyways!

I rented this dress for my rehearsal dinner and was very happy with how it fit. While I do think it runs just a little small, the 4 looked great on me (and this is my normal size). The lace detail, especially the keyhole back, is incredible. I received countless compliments about this dress. I definitely recommend it!

I rented this dress for my wedding reception we had after our destination wedding.  I ordered a size 2 and 4 since some dresses I have a hard time fitting my bottom half.  The 4 fit my hips well but the top was too big so I went with the 2.  It was a little snug at first, but as the night went on the dress stretched a tiny bit and had more give to it.  No need to wear a bra as the top was snug enough.  I got complainants all night on my dress and so happy I decided on this particular one.

This picture sold me on this dress!  I've been looking at it NEW for a couple of weeks, and our shapes are similar, this is THE ONE!!!  Thanks for posting a pic!

This was a new dress - so no reviews to help me decide. Thankfully, RTR carries this same dress in other colors, so I was able to check those. I wore this to my wedding reception. Pros: Absolutely gorgeous - it's quite a bit "creamier" in color than a typical ivory, so keep that in mind.  It's definitely more ivory than white by far. The open back is very pretty. So much lace, so I felt no need to dress it up with anything more than a bracelet (Ben-Amun Pearl Trellis Bracelet) and earrings (Ben-Amun Petite Peacock Pearl Earrings). I went braless and wore Spanx.  Cons:  only two really - I'm 5'4, so with low heels, the dress came to mid-knee on me - which, under the circumstances was fine.  And it did pull kind of funny across the hips.  It fit me fine, but had some weird pull/fold at the hips.  I'm pretty "hippy" though, so you may not have that problem if you have more of a straight figure.  I originally ordered the 0 and 2.  Couldn't even zip the 2.  I'm a "street size" 4, and I ended up wearing a 4 in this dress (had them overnight it to my location).  Great experience!

The lace on this dress is beautiful, and it fit, but the stomach area is very unforgiving. If I had a support system underneath maybe it wouldn't have mattered. I think this dress would look perfect on a size 8 or below. Sorry, no picture

I wore this for our wedding, it was PERFECT! Classy, romantic and beautiful. I received compliments all night, our pictures were wonderful,  it really made me feel like a beautiful bride. Highly recommended!

I received so many compliments on this dress at my shower! It was comfortable and I felt beautiful! I would highly recommend it 

Received a ton of compliments on this dress during my shower. The fit was perfect- very flattering and ran true to size. The back detail is stunning!!!

This dress was beyond perfect! It fit great and was comfortable to my shower! Highly recommend, I received so many compliments on it! 

Loved this dress! A little snug in chest but very elegant and pretty. 

Wore this for my bridal shower and loved everything about it! So pretty and classy! I'm really short (5'0") so it was longer than I usually like...we're talking mid-calf... but with some heels it wasn't a big deal. Loved it and so did everyone at the shower. 

I loved this dress! It was definitely a hit. 

Pros: great fit, figure flattering and appropriate for my bridal shower with family members and friends.

Cons: because of excessive wear it's to bright white but in photographs you can't tell. 

The dress fit well, I actually ordered a size 8 as well and ended up wearing the 10. I would say the dress fits more snug around the waist, and that is why I went a size up. Overall, this dress was great for my rehearsal dinner.

This dress fit very well. It did look a little "worn" but not terrible; the white wasn't as bright as I expected.  The boning in the front gave it nice shape through the torso. Definitely recommend renting this dress!

Wore this dress for my justice of the peace backyard wedding - perfect. Very snug fit- just the tiniest bit too tight around my hips (no give in this dress!) so I had to pull it down to keep it from bunching a few times. Otherwise the dress fit like a glove and I would not have been happier. Elegant and beautiful for a May wedding.

This dress was perfect for my city hall ceremony. It runs a little tight however in the busy area and at the hem. I normally wear a 4 but unfortunately size 4 was unavailable at the time. If you're in between sizes, I would recommend a 4 !

Wish the hem was more tapered and fitted but it was great for the ceremony. 
 

The dress is true to its size. The material is soft and looks great in person and in pictures. I got a lot of compliments on the dress. The only thing I didn't like was the top part was stretched out. 

Very top clasped area was a little loose but didn't fall down or anything. Little baggy around my stomach area. Little tight around my butt/thighs. Would've like to try a smaller size just to see! Perfect length for not looking too "going out". Color was a little more yellowed than expected.

Fit nicely but the silk under layer was longer than the lace overlay. I did not seem to notice this in my pictures but it felt as though it was longer when I smoothed out the under layer. I wish it looked newer as this was the dress I used for my wedding but you can't tell in the pictures. I felt like the edges were tattered and rolled over bc it had Been rented/washed many times. Overall, a stunning dress that can be pulled off as casual or more formal! 

I wore this dress for my bridal shower. I felt gorgeous wearing it; however, it had its drawbacks. First off, although it was true to size, it was tight in the underarm area. If you are large in the bust region, you may feel pretty restricted. Secondly, you either have to have a helper getting the dress secured in the back, or you gotta be a contortionist. My fiance was out of town that day... And I had to be a contortionist. I first tried it on a couple days prior and I had him help me put it on, and there was some gapping by the clips that sort of bummed me out. Also, I tried the size 4 and that would have worked, but it was then loose in my upper chest/lower neck region where the lace was saggy and sort of folded in on itself. Aside from the slight struggles, I overall loved the look. 

It was a beautiful design like the photo, and fit perfectly. Cons were I was expecting a free backup size 2 and it only came with the 4 - the day before the party (and I was the host!). Luckily it fit. Also, the quality was not as new as I expected. I know people rent these, but this one might be close to retiring because some of the lace was pilly and the color looked a little worn. Since it was at night, I don't think it was too noticeable though and got the job done!

Ordered this and another dress for a  change at my wedding. Loved the lace - especially around the neckline - and if this dress had been available in my preferred back-up size, it would have been perfect (I normally wear a 10 and wanted a back-up 12 based on other comments, but no luck). The 10 just fit, but was quite snug and didn't leave much room for getting my groove on, so I went with the other dress.

This dress definitely runs small. I would 100% size 1-2 sizes up. I normally wear a 2, especially in RTR dresses, but I wore the backup size 4. I would have been happier with a size 6, as the 4 was still a little tight, especially around my hips.

I did not have to wear a bra with this even though I'm large busted. I loved the length (I'm 5'r" and wore about 2" heels). The back was beautiful but it did make me feel like I didn't have total mobility in my arms. I think it was cutting into my back a little too. I would recommend to anyone though, if you just wearing for a few hours. Got so many compliments - always credited RTR :)

The lace was folding up on the neck of the dress so that didn't great. The dress did hug my hips more than I would have liked it, but if I would've gotten an 8 it would've been too big.

Wore this for my bridal shower and it was a huge hit!!!! The reason i marked it down a star was because its not as white as it should be, its definitley seen better days and its a little streached out at the top. Otherwise, i LOVED it!

Dress fits true to size but snug. The would give 5 stars but the paneling in the middle looked a little odd in full length pictures with my body type. Overall solid rental and beautiful detailed dress. Available in other colors if you don't like this one. 

Wore this dress to renew my vows with the hubby. Absolutely gorgeous and perfect fit! ...the back is stunning. 

I rented this for my Kate Spade themed bridal shower at a country club. I received so many compliments on it. The only negative I had was that it was recommended that my back up size be one size larger, and in hidesight, I wish I would of sized down. The dress was just a tad bit big on it. Also IT IS NOT STARK WHITE. The pictures of the dress made it seem like it would be white, but I found it has grayish tones to it so I was a little disappointed but overall, it fit well and went with my theme! 

I normally wear a size 0 or 2, so based on other reviews I chose a 2 and a 4. I couldn't even zip up the 2 and the 4 was a tight fit. I probably would have been more comfortable in a 6, but it was absolutely gorgeous nonetheless. I received so many compliments and introduced quite a few people to rtr. 

I rented this to wear to my bridal shower and got a ton of compliments on it. Everyone loved it. I am normally a 4 or 6 and the 6 was snug. I wore spanx with it and made it work but would have been more comfortable in an 8. I knew I would never wear a white dress again so renting this was the perfect option and every one loved it!

Pretty lace details, very classy - lots of compliments. My only complaint was that it stretched a little tight across my hip bones (see picture), so I did spend some time pulling on it throughout the night to straighten it for pictures. Overall, though, it was perfect for the occasion.

Fit perfectly! I often have trouble finding gowns that are long enough to wear to more formal events but this one gave me no issue. I received compliments all day long! 

This dress is absolutely gorgeous in person with the lace and details. I would love to own it. I wore this for my bridal shower and received compliments all day long. My fiance loved it as well. It fit true to size and hugs curves in all the right places. Again, photos do not do it justice! Worth the rent! I got a 0 and size 2, and the size 2 was a little snug, but I loved it. A 4 would have been too big.

I wore this dress for my bridal shower and I loved it! I was concerned that it would be too conservative and matronly since it was longer and ended up hitting me below the knees, but the fitted bodice and silhouette in addition to the open back detail made it much more youthful. I did find the top and waist a tiny bit loose but it fit me perfectly on the bottom. (One review stated theirs felt a bit worn - this could explain mine felt more loose). I highly recommend renting this!

I wore this for my rehearsal dinner and it was perfect - I got so many compliments!! The lace detail was gorgeous and the material was comfortable. I was worried because I am a former gymnast so I'm petite but athletic (wide shoulders and big thighs), but it fit me perfectly! I did lose weight leading up to the wedding so I ordered a size down as my back up and I'm glad I did. The size 2 would have fit me fine too but the 0 really hugged my waist and made me look skinny. Also you could probably get away without wearing a bra but I did wear bra pads underneath to help fill the bust area. 

Loved the top of this dress, it was very girly yet sexy too! The dress was a bit worn, but otherwise I was a happy girl!

I rented this for our wedding rehearsal on Friday night then wore it to our dinner/welcome party afterwards. Absolutely loved it and was so comfortable all night. The lace details are beautiful and the cut out back gives it a bit of glam too. I'm 5'3" are wore 3" inch heels, so it hit right about the knee. This designer makes this dress in more colors, so I'll definitely plan on wearing it again!

I wore this for my bridal shower! I received so many compliments. It fit perfectly and it was pretty comfortable. I was very pleased!

Wore it for my small super intimate wedding ceremony, it was absolutely perfect. If you are shapely with a lot of hips like I do, then I recommend sizing up because it is form fitting, which is nice. 

Pros: 
- It's a beautiful dress
- The back is gorgeous
- Fit me well as I am petite at 5"0
- Corset-style mid-body fit, so this dress really hugs your body 
- Didn't have to wear a bra with this one, just stickies, because this has some built-in padding
- It's exactly what I wanted to wear for my legal wedding ceremony downtown

Cons
- You'll need help to button the back part up, unless you're really flexible

Typically wear a dress size 4 or 6, but an 8 fit perfectly! The bust was tight but ended up being ok with the size 8.

I rented this for my wedding shower. Fit true to size and photographed great in pictures! I would definitely recommend this dress in your normal dress size and then one larger just in case (arms were a bit snug). Beautiful dress and comfortable without being too tight!
