SO COMFORTABLE!! This dress hugged my body perfectly and was incredibly flattering!

Hugged my body perfectly, comfortable, flattering and just the right amount of sexiness. I wore two inch heels and the length was great.

Delivery came right on time!

The dress was a great fit for multiple body types! A few of us purchased as bridesmaids for a wedding and each one was flattering. I have long legs but the regular length was good even with heels. The material may get caught easily on jewelry so be careful. I loved the style and would purchase again.

Lovely dress that is perfect for formal events

This dress is super cute! It's stretchy, but still fitted. The material was not irritating or scratchy like some lace dresses are. I tried the size 8L and 10L; since I knew the wedding I was attending was going to include a ton of dancing, I decided to go with the 10L since it seemed like I could move around more in that dress. That said, if I was not going to be dancing I could have comfortably worn the 8L as the material is really stretchy! The length was perfect as well—if you're tall, definitely go with the L! The only con was the dress smelled a little weird. Not like body odor, but perhaps it was from the cleaning materials used? Not a huge deal or anything ~ just something to be aware of. Keeping the dress out of the bag the day before the event helped! Also, the zipper on the 8L easily got stuck and the neck buttons were impossible to undo, compared to the 10L dress!

Wore this for a military ball.

Received this because original dress order had a broken zipper. This dress was much nicer. Fit very nicely and was very comfortable. Hugged curves but had stretch, so wasn't constricting. Very elegant looking. I'm 5'8 and ordered 2L. Perfect fit with 3 inch heels.

If you want to hide some of your mid section but still look long. lean and flatter your curves, this is the dress for you. Received endless complements and felt like my silhouette looked way better in this dress than ever before.

Definitely and eye catching dress.. Comfortable and glamourous!

I would say this dress runs a little big simply because of the stretchiness of the fabric. I normally wear a 6 and fit into the 4 no problem. The 6 actually felt a little big. Either would've been fine. I absolutely loved the fit! It hugs all your curves in the right places. But, be forewarned, it doens't hide anything! I ended up wearing Spanx to just smooth everything out (as I've had two kids!). I am 5'4" and did wear heels, but felt like the dress was just a touch short. If you are over 5'6" I would def get the Long or if you want to wear really high heels. Pros: Good Fit, Comfortable, Elegant, Stylish Cons: A little short on the hem. I recieved so many compliments on this dress at our formal dinner event. Loved it!

Great for our local hospital's biggest fundraiser

Great fit - didn't need the larger size! Recommend having spanx - the dress does cling to every curve. The only issue I had was that the straps at the back were loose - they could've been pinned for a better fit if I had the time. Overall, I loved this dress, and I received TONS of complements! I'm pretty tall, and the long version fit great with heels.

The dress is more than I every expected! RTR was a pleasure!!

The dress I had originally ordered had been damaged or delayed in returning, So RTR sent me two replacement dresses. I was devastated. However the replacement dresses were stunning and the one I chose (see pics) fit like a glove and was even prettier than my original pick. RTR even sent accessories to make up for the substitution. This dress retailed significantly more than my pick, however they didn't charge me extra. Had I seen this dress in a department store I wouldn't have even made it into the dressing room (price was out of my budget as well as style on the hanger). Thank you for broadening my horizons! I would do RTR again in a heartbeat. All the dresses were in perfect shape, looked brand new!

Perfect dress for the occasion! Got lots of compliments and felt fabulous!

Fit was tight, but slimming. Fit well at the bust but needed to have a low back bra for the low back of the dress. The lace straps were helpful and a nice touch. I needed to do the petite size, but with 3 in heels it worked perfectly. I felt hot but still classy and would recommend this dress to anyone!

Fantastic dress, stretchy and comfortable, and overall gorgeous for a black tie affair

I wore the original size I ordered, but still got a size down based on what other people reviewed, and then RTR sent me a size up also at no charge! It fit great, slimming everywhere and made me feel sexy...The back was great, if not a little loose, but nothing a bit of invisible tape couldn't fix. Wore with some moderate heels and it just almost skimmed the ground.

Beautiful lace - and so comfortable!

Just lovely. The lace detail was gorgeous, especially the straps and neckline. It was fairly lightweight for a floor-length dress. Stretchy fabric made it super comfortable. I'm 5'3" and wore 3 inch heels and it just hit the floor. True to size - but I would go up for your backup size.

This dress is beautiful!

I am 5'7 so I was on the fence with going for the 10L. Glad I did. With a pair of kit heels it was the perfect length. I am a bit big around the hips and "seated" area but the dress had a good stretch. I am a bit small busted (B cup) and with the help of a strapless bra I felt curvy up top. The most important detail is that I felt pretty and if a dress can do that its a keeper.

Elegant & Comfortable

This is an incredibly comfortable and elegant dress for all body types. I'm 5'4" and it grazed the floor in 2.5" heels, perfect fit. It flattered my very large bust, hips, and tush without being too va-va-voom for an elegant wedding. The color is a dark jewel-toned blue under black lace. The back of this dress is gorgeous, a perfect little detail in an overall wonderful dress.

The dress was perfectly stunning! I got so many complements. Pictures don't give it justice.

The dress runs true to size. It is a great dress for a curvy, like myself. Even though it is very form fitting, with the right undergarments, it is just beautiful. Hugs your curves, but very flattering. Only thing was the lace on shoulders/around back was a bit big, I think more so because I have a shorter torso, so if you petite or short torsoed then a little dress tape can help. I just wore it a little lose in the back but you couldn't really see it as a flaw. I would definitely rent again

This 6R fit perfectly.

It hugs the curves in all the right places. I am short..5'2'' ish and I wore 3 inch heels and the dress skimmed the floor perfectly. I was able to wear a nude bra and hide the straps underneath the capped lace sleeves which was very nice because I needed extra help in the chest area. This was my back up dress that RTR very conveniently overnighted to me after my original choice was damaged. This dress fit so much better anyways. I was bummed that the original dress was damaged but the customer service from RTR was spot on and I appreciated that immensely. Thanks again!

Felt extremely elegant and showed off my best features

The dress was fitted and I was nervous because I am a pear shape. I usually avoid dresses that hug my hips but took a risk. It paid off. I felt amazing in the dress. I am petite so I wore higher heels and the straps hung a little in the back because the dress was a little long but it worked.

Dress is stunning.

This dress is beautiful. Runs a little large. I probably would have fit the 8R perfect. LOVED this dress. Looks stunning on. Lots of compliments all night. The blue is a deep royal blue. Beautiful lace all over. I'm 5'4" and the length was still a little long with 3 1/2 inch heels on. Dress was comfortable to wear and easy to dance in. Love the way it just flows when you walk in it. Almost bridal like (but in blue).

Formal work Christmas party.

I'm usually a 4 or 6, size 6R was available and also did 8R as my back up. The 6R was so short I was definitely ready for a flood. Definitely could have gone with a 4L or 6L. The 8R worked perfectly though, just slightly loose around the mid section. I absolutely loved this dress and plan on renting the shorter version for New Years Eve!! I also got so many compliments!!

Stunning & Comfortable !

I ordered a 10L & a 8L (just in case) for the Molly Pitcher Ball. After the Dress arrived i put on the 8 to see if it fits and it did (like a glove) . It has stretch to it, so count it in. I absolutely love this dress and i wish i could keep it. It's a MUST RENT DRESS :)

I received so many compliments on this dress. Absolutely stunning!

It fit wonderful. Nice stretchy material so it fit snug but didn't show any bulging. I am 5'7" and I got the 4L and wire with 4" heels. The 6 fit as well but it was regular length and not long enough for my shoes. I liked that the 4L hit the floor and I never tripped on it. Easy to dance in as well! Loved this dress!!

Perfection!

I wore this dress to my Barristers Ball (law school formal). The dress was true to size. It snug, but the lining is soft and gives you plenty of room to bust a dance move here and there. I opted to wear earrings only, and no necklace; I thought a necklace would be too "busy" and take away from the lace detail and the simple elegance of the dress. I got a ton of compliments. I would definitely recommend this dress for a formal/black tie event.

Social media superstar in 1 hour or less :P

The dress was surprising lightweight for a dress with this much lace. I chose the 2R to wear based on the reviews that considered my height and the 4.5 in heels I wore with this dress. I don't know if I would say this dress is true to size or runs large as I typically wear dress sizes 2-6 depending on the designer. The dress is a beautiful navy blue and was perfect for the black tie optional, fall wedding that I attended in Washington DC. This dress hugs in all the right places (gave me the illusion that I was curvier and slimmer than I typically am) and was comfortable to wear and dance in all night. I paired the dress with statement earrings and a bracelet from RTR as well.The only thing that annoyed me was that my heels would get caught in the lace a few times. I was bummed that my original dress I was planning on wearing was damaged before the event but thankfully RTR came through by giving me the option of renting this dress as a result. While I didn't get many comments at the wedding, I did get a lot of positive responses on my social media accounts of me wearing this dress.

Sophisticated and Sexy

LOVED this dress. I usually wear 4, but it was a bit tight in the shoulders/back ( so I wore the 6) It fit like a glove but didn't hug to the point that I couldn't dance and eat ( I did!!) This dress was super comfortable. The blue was dark and deep. I was able to wear a regular bra. Length was perfect with a 3 1/2 inch heel. I felt beautiful and sexy... you can't go wrong with this dress.

Absolutely stunning gown!

This dress ran a little big. I had originally ordered a 2 and 4 as I am usually a 2. I had called a week before my delivery and asked to swap the 4 for a 0 after seeing a review about it running bigger and ended up wearing the 0. It's a little long for me, but with heels I was fine. I was very pleased with the dress overall and my husband wouldn't stop complimenting me, which is always a bonus!

A magical dress!

This dress fits to your body and makes you look fantastic! I received many compliments on the color and fit. I'm 5'3" and it did run a little long even after wearing a good size heel; probably could have gone with the petite sizing and it would be have been perfect. Still an unforgettable dress!

Went to the Marine Corp Birthday Ball, this dress was perfect. my first time using RTR.

The overall fit was true to size. I ordered an 8 which is what I normally wear and I ended up wearing the 6. I ordered the regular length and luckily I worn flats I think it would have been too short with heels. I did the mystery accessory and they sent me a necklace for the dress but it was much too large for me and I didn't wear it. I love this whole process and it really works. I will definitely do this again. I'm telling all my friends about this website. Thanks RTR
