The neckline same a little lower than I would have expected, but on the bright side, apparently I do have cleavage!

Wore this to a fundraiser party and felt awesome! The 4 was uncomfortable but the 6 was fire. Didn't need to adjust the neckline even once, it stays in place perfectly.  I dressed it down with  velvet Frye booties or it could have been kicked up with heels. Loved!

This was actually a back up dress I ordered a day before my order was arriving. The original dress I was suppose to receive was returned late. I'm kinda happy that happened. This dress was really nice. Got tons of compliments on it all night. 

Order up.  Couldn't zip up my normal size. Wish it had pockets. Received a ton of compliments! Would definitely recommend 

I am obsessed with this dress! It fit perfectly and is the most beautiful shade of burgundy. It is very high quality material. I got a TON of compliments at the wedding I wore it to. It is a little loose at the top on the sides, which helps avoid any "armpit rolls" strapless dresses sometimes cause.  However, the heavy material and the looser sides left me pulling up the dress a lot throughout the night (but well worth it as I felt like a million dollars!).   The zipper also doesn't have a hook & eye at the top and falls down...this was easily remedies with a safety pin. I would highly recommend this dress! I think it would be flattering on any body type.

I am usually a 2 in dresses, but I definitely needed the 4 in this one. I didn't have to wear a bra with it because it runs quite small in the bust. Lots of cleavage. Since there is no clasp at the top of the back zipper, it "fell down" while I was dancing, and I nearly popped out of it. So beware of that issue if you are a size D. I loved the color and the lace was such a unique pattern. I would rent it again, but probably not for an event that involved dancing because of the clasp issue.  

I've been petite all my life and this dress gave the appearance I had curves. Perfect for our engagement photos!!!

This dress fit perfectly. It was snug at the chest so I was able to dance all night and not have to worry about pulling it up every 5 seconds! It was very comfortable and I received tons of compliments!

This runs small, so size up.  The pockets are great and the cut is extremely flattering.  This was my backup, and I wore first choice, but I will definitely rent this for my next wedding!

I'm a true size 6, 32D, with small waist and wide hips, and this fit perfectly snugly. I needed to wear a padded bra to fill in the top nicely, and even so it is very low cut! Boning in the top worked well. Underskirt is pencil-shaped so was very snug on my hips but you couldn't tell it was bunching up bc of the overskirt. Material is lovely and looks very expensive. Dress is somewhat heavy so would not be ideal on a hot day outdoors. Overall, fantastic dress that got lots of compliments.

I absolutely loved this dress! I'm 5'6 and I was worried about renting a midi dress because they are hit or miss but this one worked well! The bodice is very slimming but easy to get one, you won't have to struggle with the zipper. I have a fairly small chest so this dress worked perfectly. I had no fear of flashing someone but if you have a bigger chest I could see some issues arising because of the neckline. 

Loved the dress! Very comfortable and perfect for a wedding.  I usually wear a size 4, but went up one size for this one. 

Enjoyed that the dress had pockets and did not feel like I was pulling it up all night long! Would def rent this dress again!

Tons of compliments, heavy material, runs small in the bust, but great overall for me!

I'm usually a size 10 but lost weight and was able to slip into the 8. I wore it to a friend's wedding and got loads of compliments. I'm 4"11 but the length was perfect and it didn't feel overwhelming. Definitely would wear it again.

This dress was absolutely perfect for a country club wedding! The wine color is gorgeous and pops nicely in a crowd. I normally I'd wear a 4, so as other reviews have stated, I'd say this this dress runs small. Loved the pockets!!!

This is the dress!! The color was amazing! I started out with one dress that did not work out and ended up with this Nicholas dress an hour before my event!! Love! Love! Love! The sizing was perfect and the dress has pockets! I was able to keep my phone in my pocket to snap pictures. 

First of all, the quality of this dress is incredible. The fabric is substantial, but not heavy. Absolutely gorgeous. I tried on the 12 first: it was comfortable in the waist, but huge in the top...at least 2-3 inches out from my bra. The 10 (the one I wore) was definitely a more snug fit, but I still felt comfortable in it all night with a three course meal and open bar. The top was a better fit, however I could not wear a bra. The dress has stays for support, so I did not feel "unsupported" at all. The neckline on this dress is so flattering. Like I said, I felt sexy but classy.

I was already obsessed with this color, but this material and this dress were just perfect! The top was so supportive and the length was just right on me at 5'5". The dress is a little heavy, but the fabric feels so high quality. It fit perfectly and comfortably, even with a full bust. I'm already planning on renting this beauty for a wedding this fall! 

I rented this for a gala where everyone had to wear red. I wanted my dress to stand out and this was perfect! The length makes it formal but the strapless keeps it young. There is absolutely no stretch in the fabric, so the top fit very snug. Size up if you have a bigger chest, for sure. Overall loved this dress, I got a ton of compliments and I was sad to send it back. 

Very pretty. Run small - i usually use size 2 but in this one have to order 4 

Hi Danielle! Can I ask what shoes you have on? They look perfect with this dress!

This was my first RTR experience and I absolutely loved it! I wore the 6 after reading reviews that it ran small, but I thought the top was a little big–had to keep pulling it up all night. Overall, the dress was perfect and I received compliments all night and days after! 

I originally ordered two sizes (8 & 10) up on this dress after reviews that it ran small. Luckily, RTR overnighted me my normal size (6). It fit like a glove and I got so many compliments.  It is beautiful in person and very high quality.  I would like to buy it and will certainly look for this brand in the future.  Other than my own wedding dress, this is he best thing I've ever worn!

This dress was so pretty and fit really nicely! Definitely size up - I wore a 6 but am normally a 2/4. Overall I loved it though! The fabric was so nice and expensive looking and it was such a hit at the winter wedding I attended. Would definitely recommend!

Best dress I have ever worn! So elegant and amazing!

This dress is absolutely gorgeous -- but, runs extremely small!! I cannot emphasize this enough. I typically wear a 0 or 2 if runs small, and ended up having to order the 4 and 6. I wore the 4, and it fit well but was still very snug. 
However, it was definitely a beautiful dress and I loved wearing it and got many compliments! 

The color of this dress was fabulous. Being larger on top, it stayed up enough but just barely. :) Still worked out. Very true to size but it have enough give so it it happened to be too tight, it still would've worked out. The inside length was above my knee and the outer lace was very long so it was still flattering. Overall, dress was a hit at a Northern California wedding. Great color for fall! 

This dress is stunning. Even though this wine/maroon color is everywhere this fall, the lace details make this one stand out. I didn't need a bra which was nice. It definitely runs small. I'm so glad that I took the advice of the RTR stylist and ordered one size larger than normal and two sizes up for my back up. I'm normally a 4 and there was no way the 6 was going to zip. The 8 was a perfect fit. I loved the hidden pockets, too!

Quite tight at the top, could have maybe even worn a 6 even though I am very small in the bust. The fabric is stunning and the cut is stellar. 

This dress was everything I hoped it would be. The material was so incredible, the fit and length was perfect. Had a hard time keeping it up, but I'm sure some fashion tape would have helped. 

I got this dress as my backup but needed up wearing it instead because it is just stunning. The color is unbelievably gorgeous. My husband is usually bored when I try on dresses but when I showed him this one he lit up and told me I looked beautiful. All through the wedding we attended people kept coming up to me and telling me how beautiful my dress was, and on Instagram all of the comments were "that dress!" It does run a bit small on top. I am pear shaped, usually a 2-4 on top and a 4-6 on the bottom. Because the lining looked a bit tight in the hip area I ordered a 4 and a 6 and I'm really glad I did. The 4 fit on the bottom but was too tight to zip, the 6 fit but was still pretty tight on my ribs (which was fine because it's strapless). I had a baby a little less than a year ago and this dress camouflaged my remaining tummy very well and flattered my breastfeeding girls nicely. I didn't need a bra, there's plenty of boning for support. 
My husband wants me to buy it he loved it so much, and I just might!

Love the rich color of this dress! The texture of the material gives it dimension. I love that it is a classic style but also strapless making it feel fresh and modern. This does run a bit small, especially in the bust, definitely size up for backup. Overall, a gorgeous dress for any many different occasions!

It runs a little small. The size 4 was very tight but the size 6 was a little too roomy. I wold order a size up as a back up especially if you have a larger chest. 

Love this lady like tea length dress! The waist is very fitted and runs small, I would size one to two sizes up on this one. Really beautiful shape and cut and a great length.  

First off the fabric is GORGEOUS - I received so many compliments! My only complaint was I had difficulty zipping it up. I must have an abnormally large rib cage, because it was impossible to zip from the back. I had to zip in the front and scoot the dress around. The waist and bust fit well, it was just the bodice that caused problems. Overall great dress, but would order a size up next time.

I loved this dress. Wish I could keep it. It fit perfectly except for the bust. I do normally need a bigger size because I'm bigger on my lower half, but the bust area was HUGE. You could basically see my entire bra! I tried to pin it but it didn't stay too well, so I wore a shall. other than that, I got a lot of compliments! 

Loved the fabric and the color. The lining was a little tight considering the overall fit of the dress was right on the mark size-wise. The top was a hair big, but totally fine with a little tape. Loved it and was fun to wear! 

This dress was beautiful but not a comfortable fit.  I wore this to an office Christmas party with matte gold peep toe heels, the look was great for the occasion.  The material is gorgeous, amazing color and thick.  This fit was not ideal.  I am 5'5" and 120lbs- normally rent 0 or 2, for this dress I went a size up and squeezed into the 4.  Like others have said the zipper doesn't "lock" at the top so a little nervous for it to scooch down throughout the night.  The corset fit is quite snug around the rib cage yet the bust was a bit large for me (I'm a 32 b) but I made it work.  I loved the look of the dress and received many compliments on it but it was not my favorite dress that I've rented. 

It took my half the night to realize this dress had pockets!!! Super cute and I received loads of compliments. My only complaint was that the chest was a little bit too small. 

I loved the silhouette of this dress; it's very flattering for us pear-shaped ladies. One thing to note: I normally wear size 10 or 12, and in the 10 the chest area was way too big for me (36B). I tried wearing a padded push-up bra underneath and using double-stick tape to prevent the dress from slipping on off of me when I was on the dance floor. In addition, the bodice and waist of the size 10 was a bit tight and uncomfortable when sitting down. The silk lining/layer underneath was a bit short, and I felt it wasn't covering my bottom when I sat down. Otherwise, it was a fun and flattering dress.

I should've trusted the reviews and the sizes they ordered. After trying 4 strapless dresses which were all too big I went for this in size 2. I usually wear 0 and I worried that the size 4 which other people wore would be too big on me. The 2 was so tiny I wasn't even able to zip it up! Fabric and color is lovely and I would order again but in size 4. I didn't like that the eyelet material is not attached to the inner lining of the skirt so the pockets didn't line up with the layers. 

The dress doesn't indicate the size on it so I went off the size on the hanging. There appears to be very little difference between the 10 and the 12. Honestly could have probably used an 8. The top is so large and I'm not a small bust woman.  I went without a bra as any strapless bra could be seen from the top.  I taped the dress directly to my boobs to prevent a nip slip. There is no clasp at the top of the zipper and it doesn't say in place so I kept pulling it up all night.  SIZING SUCKS

I have a very small chest (34 B) and I could not zip up the size 6... also, the liner skirt was very tight even if I could have zipped it up. I can usually wear a size 4-6 in the a-line dresses... but would have had to size up TWO sizes in this dress. 

I rented a size 4 and a size 6. The size 4 was so tight around th chest i couldnt breath so i wore the size 6. The size 6 was too big though, and i had to pull it up all night long. A really pretty dress but i was so annoyed with the sizing. 

Lovely dress that got a bunch of compliments. As others have noted, the sheath under the lace is cut strangely and rode up a lot of the night (it was short, especially when sitting!). It wasn't noticeable because the lace layer is so thick, but it was back of mind for me all night. Also the pockets don't line up really well between the layers. 

Gorgeous color and looked festive for a holiday party. This dress was not very comfortable and the fabric was quite stiff. 

This dress was an amazing choice for the occasion, a holiday christmas party. The color is vibrant, length is perfect. Only issue I had was constantly pulling it up (would not recommend doing the cha cha slide in this one) and the slip was way to short enough, I found myself constantly pulling it down. 

This dress is fabulous, but I had to keep pulling it up at the top. I tried double-sided tape and that is really not that great. I am 5'1 with an hourglass figure, 120lbs, cup size is C. I have a small waist and average chest but the top of this dress was not reliable. I would not rent this again but I received a lot of compliments. Gorgeous red dress and amazing fabric. Had a great night nonetheless!

Wore this to a warm September wedding. Loved the texture and pattern of the dress (it's heavy!), but the slip underneath is tight and hit my waist in an odd spot. It was a struggle to zip it up, and I wished I had sized up...it was one of those grin and bear it dresses. 

I rented this dress for an outdoor event. I received a lot of compliments and it was easy and comfortable to wear. Very nice material. I did not need to wear a bra, which is always a plus for me. However, the dress runs very small in my opinion. I normally wear a size 4 or 6 and I could barely zip up a size 8. I would recommend this dress.

This was my first RTR experience and I'm hooked. They make the whole thing is so easy!
This dress was flattering and felt luxurious. I got compliments all night. Complete strangers stopped me to compliment my dress!
Only issue I had was the bust area was way too big - like a half inch on each side! Leaning over and sitting were not an option without a wardrobe malfunction. If I had purchased this dress I would have altered the top. However, since it was a rental, I avoided spillage by adding some well placed tape and voilà, the perfect dress. 

amazing fabric and hidden pockets, but length too long on me (5'2" tall) to wear to the wedding - would recommend for taller women!

Runs small so size up. Radiant ruby red color and is even more gorgeous in person. I'm 6' 1" so hit higher even though a midi. The top stayed in place mostly but pushed my chest up so may not be best if busty. Overall, loved it!

I don't think I have ever received so many compliments on how I looked before, and it is 100% credited to this dress! 

It was a little tight around the tummy area, but not uncomfortable at all, and it helps keep the dress from slipping down. I have a small bust, so I had to get a strapless bra to make it actually look like I had a chest. The length was exactly what I wanted! Since I'm on the shorter side, the length was perfect. Although big on the top, it is a fabulous dress that made me feel very special. 

Would absolutely rent again! 

The dress is not very comfortable -- it's heavy and pretty tight throughout the bodice (so much so my left rib hurt the next day), but the tightness is necessary to keep the dress from falling down due to its weight. Not the best dress if you're looking for something comfy, but otherwise I highly recommend!
