I usually wear a 2/4. RTR did not have a 2 available so I asked for a 4 hoping it would work. And I am so glad I took the chance. This dress was amazing! I received so many compliments. At first I was worried due to my large bust, but that was no problem. I fit perfectly into the dress and was not at all worried about having a wardrobe malfunction. The dress comes with a lovely liner so that non of your dedicates can be seen. 

I wore this dress to a rehearsal dinner for a wedding. I received many, many complements on the lace, color, and fit of the dress. This dress is a little longer in the skirt, and works well for more formal affairs. True to other reviews, the lace cap sleeves were falling down and it would have been helpful to fashion tape them. My backup size for this dress was cancelled, but I went ahead and wore the 2 even though the stitching between bodice and skirt was tight. If you have a wider ribcage, I would size up.

I absolutely love this dress! My mom rented the same one in yellow a few months ago, and she rocked it. We have totally different body types, but it fit us both like a glove! I'm obsessed with the lace and the shape of the dress! It was flattering at every angle. Hardest dress to give up yet!

This is one of the best dresses of all time. I wore it to the opera in Philadelphia and turned every head in the Academy of Music. As I was walking down the grand staircase, a man called out, "Best dress of the night!" It made me feel like a young Liz Taylor from the 1950s, or even Scarlett O'Hara. By that I mean, this is a tight, sexy, hourglass, old-fashioned dress that is all woman. And I do mean tight. Normally a size 2 is comfortable on me. This was so tight I nearly fainted (they didn't have a back-up size). Guess that's why they wore corsets  back in the day! It also is extremely low cut, with sleeves that sort of slide off the shoulder. I couldn't wear a bra, but didn't need one, it was so tight. Dress if gorgeous, with muted teal lace over a nude under dress. The back is extremely low, with a sexy, long velvet ribbon that ties at the shoulders -- a great detail. All in all, one of the two best dresses I've ever worn, But order up a size, no matter what you think! 

This dress was perfect for a formal wedding. I didn't use any tape at all and it stayed in place all night through dancing and running around. The fit was most snug around the stomach but I think that's what helped it stay up. The lacework is beautiful and the color is so unique. Probably my favorite RTR dress I've rented thus far!

This dress is very beautiful, and the other reviews aren't joking when they say it requires a lot of fashion tape. Because of that I felt a little too restrictive.  And I was hoping it wouldn't show as much cleavage as it did. The size 0 fit me and maybe a little better in the sleeves, but it would've been a little too on the tight side. 

Lace was beautiful but quite worn. As previously noted, fashion tape for the cap sleeves is a must.

I love love love the dress! Reem Acra did it again! I didn't want to return it. I had two weddings on the same day in San Diego and it was perfect for an indoor Catholic church wedding and an outdoor country club wedding. I felt appropriate, beautiful, sexy, comfortable...needless to say, I was feelin' myself. Size 0 worked perfectly for me and didn't even bother trying on size 2.

There were only two CONS and they were very minor:
1) for some reason when I tried on the dress, the lining of the hem was uneven. It was noticable as some of the hem peaked out at the bottom but that gave me an opportunity to bring up the hem line of my lining with safety pins.  This ended up working in my favor as I thought the dress was a bit long for my height and it made the dress more light and breathable.

2) I had to use fashion tape as others mentioned so my bra and "goodies" didn't spill out. I was a bit conscious of this all day, but other than that, all was good. 

I will definitely be renting this dress again and again as long as it's available and I have an occasion.

The lace was incredibly romantic and the fit was amazing.  It was tight in all the right places.  I felt really pretty in this dress and I hope RTR stocks more of these type of dresses.  Oh, side note: double sided tape is a must! 

Excuse the scary iPhone eyes. This dress was the most beautiful one I have ever put on my body. I eyed it for weeks unsure of how it would fit before finally pulling the trigger and I could not have been happier when it arrived. I wore it to a military event and had no issues with the top being too revealing (when I first tried it on I was worried however everyone convinced me it was a non-issue and they were right). I ordered the 4 and the 6 and although the top to the 4 felt more snug and secure, the 6 fit and looked all around better so I went with that. It wasn't the most comfortable dress but I felt awesome about myself the entire night which definitely made up for it. If I hadn't taken so many photos and plastered them all over social media, I would definitely rent this again! ;) 

My size was not available & I had to wear one size larger.  The dress ran large on me since it does not have any stretch whatsoever, so I had to use fashion tape on sleeves, back. etc.  Be sure to only rent this dress in exactly your size.  Got many compliments on the beauty of this dress

My original dress had a tear and I was already out of state attending a wedding. RTR overnighted me a new, more expensive, dress that the stylist chose for me because the dress I had chose was out of stock.  They charged me the lower, original dress price and were so nice about it. The new dress they sent me fit amazingly and ended up being my favorite RTR to date. The color is to die for and the fabric allows for some amount of stretching. You can tell the dress is expensive by the way it looks and feels. Only great things to say about the whole experience. 

This dress is actually much deeper teal than the sample photo which I liked even better. The dress fits very snug yet extremely flattering! The biggest issue I had with this dress is the the top portion does not have very much give. By the end of the night I felt like the dress would not allow for a deep breath. I recommend sizing up! Though the fit was not the most comfortable, I had so many compliments throughout the night. Each and every experience with RTR has been simple and enjoyable. I would rent again... Just probably not this dress

This dress is beautiful. It does run small though. I'm a true size 0 and it fit me REALLY tight. A 2 wasn't available or I would've definitely sized up given the other reviews. I still wore it and it looked great but it was too tight for my taste. Size up!! Other than that it was great except that I did have to use fashion tape to keep the sleeves up and also in the chest area to keep the lace in place. Such a beautiful dress though! I would wear it again but definitely size up next time! 

This dress was gorgeous. I wore it to my friend's wedding. I usually wear a size 0 or small, I wore the size 2 because the 0 was a little too tight. I received numerous compliments throughout the night, women asking me where did I get this beautiful dress. I even tried to purchase it after the fact because I didn't want to send it back! Would definitely recommend and would definitely rent again in the future. 

The Dress fit a little tight in the bust. Other than that the dress was great! I definitely recommend it to others who are attending a wedding.

I found the dress to fit true to size. It was more fitted in the waist on me and I used gel inserts to fill out the bust. You will need plenty of fashion tape to keep the top up. 

I have been wanting to wear this dress for a long time. It is as beautiful as I thought it would be. The cut is so flattering, especially if you don't have a lot in the chest area. It was perfect for a November wedding at the Grove Park Inn.

I felt like it ran pretty close to size but was a little tight on the hips.  Other than that, I would also agree with other reviewers that you're going to need fashion tape for the cap sleeves.  It was a great dress for a wedding and I was able to dance and everything!

I loved this dress and received compliments all night. Like other reviewers have said, it runs small, so sizing up is a must. The 6 fit my bottom half but was too small in the bust, so I wore the 8. Fashion tape kept the sleeves from falling off my shoulders, which I knew to have on hand thanks to the other reviewers.  

Very pretty dress but had to use about 8 pieces of fashion tape to get it to look right. The scalloped lace around the neckline was crumpled down in a sad manner- had to tape that up, When I taped the neckline in place, had to tape the cap sleeves to my shoulders because they would fall. The waist is quite tight, but made for a nice corset look. But not a comfortable dress

I really loved the lace and color of this dress, perfect for a fall wedding. The neckline is different and pretty but not practical. I used fashion tape and still had a hard time keeping my bra in and the straps up. I am glad I rented it but probably would rent something more comfortable for alll night dancing at a wedding.

This by far is the most beautiful dress I have rented from RTR. However, beauty is not without it's pains. It's not really meant for a petite girl, as the cap sleeves were constantly slipping off my shoulders and it's a bit longer than it should be, which makes it difficult to take regular size steps and get crazy on the dance floor. I would recommend using fashion tape and/or using the ribbon tie in the back to hold the sleeves together (I didn't, since it's not done up like that on the model, but a friend rented this dress for another event and she tied it). Would definitely recommend renting.

I am normally a size 0 or 2 and I was a little worried about the sizing of this dress given the other reviews. A 2 wasn't available, and so I took a chance and ordered a 0 and 4. The smaller size fit really well! It was a tad snug around the rib cage and hips, but nothing that looked ill-fitting. The color is a gorgeous teal, and I literally didn't stop receiving compliments all night. I loved this dress!

The dress is a much darker shade of teal in person. It def fit well and will look great on curvy girls. I tend to always wear a size 4 in everything and the 6 fit better in every way. I have big boobs so I felt like I had to hold my shoulders back all night to keep everything in place. Plus the sleeves are capped and even with double sided tape I felt like they were all always falling off if I didn't sit up straight.  The material is beautiful but you can tell its been worn a few times up close. Which is expected from Lace. All and all I loved the dress, I felt really great in it and people told me I looked great all night. 

This dress definitely ran small... glad I opted to order the size 2 as a backup (I could not get the 0 on whatsoever!). Lace was not in mint condition but flaws were minor enough that I was not worried about anyone noticing. Color was a beautiful dark teal. If you have a smaller chest like me (B cup) there is no way you will be able to fill out the top. I had to secure the lace in the chest area and sleeves with fashion tape so as to not have my chest/ bra exposed. Overall I wound rent again. 

I had been lusting over this dress for months and was so so excited to receive it for a wedding this past weekend. I just about leapt into the arms of the UPS man! The only size available was a 6- my normal size- but I had read the reviews that said it runs small, so I was a little nervous. It turned out to be fine! I'm sure that I would have been able to relax a bit more in the 8, but the 6 fit like a glove. No room for a bra! The lace was intricate and delicate and the color was stunning! The only thing I will say is that this is not a low maintenance dress. I had to spend about 20 minutes attaching fashion tape to every free inch of strap (which were a bit stretched out) and neckline so the dress would stay put. I also had to adjust it a few times throughout the evening- if you wear undergarments, the materials will rub together and the dress will shift. But, if you're willing to put in the work, the results are worth it! One of the most gorgeous dresses I have ever worn!

Fit perfectly. Lots of compliments. Sleeves fall and lace around chest tucks under so fashion tape is a must!  Great dress

Usually wear anywhere from 2-6, the 4 was not available but the 2 fit perfect. Snug, but in a good way. I still felt comfortable and confident. spanks not needed, it was double lined and the fabric was thick to hide ann texture flaws (lumps or bumps).  The double sided tape that came with it was crucial to keep he sleeves up. It was a little low cut, found myself pulling it up at times. I did wear a strapless, but it never showed. I have a little love handle problem but this dress held me in at the right places and accentuated my better qualities. Very figure flattering dress. 
It's apparent it's been worn a few times. The sleeves were a little frayed. Color is much more teal in the sun light. Beautiful dress. I received so many compliments from family and perfect strangers. Surprisingly a lot of my male family members and friends commented on the quality and figure flattering qualities of the dress. Usually girls notice that kind of thing.  Can't wait to rent the yellow! 

I read the reviews that it ran small so I went with the size 6 and was happy with the fit, it was form fitting but I definitely had room to eat too!  I had also read about double stick tape for the sleeves, so I was prepared for that and definitely needed a few pieces to keep the sleeves in place all night.  I got SO many compliments and felt that it was a very unique look compared to other dresses guests had.

I received so many complements and was stopped by another wedding guest to ask me where I got it. I ordered it last minute so I wasn't able to get a back up size and had to make the size 4 work. It fit well in the stomach and thighs but as other reviewers have mentioned, the shoulder straps didn't stay up. I also didn't quite fill out the chest area. It was nothing that fashion tape couldn't fix and and then nothing fell down the rest of the night! I would have liked to try on the size 2, it may have fit better, but it wasn't available. 

This dress is gorgeous in person! It was a little tight around my rib cage so I had to go up a size. The size 0 had a sticky zipper that would not go up! The length was perfect, and the top was more revealing than I had expected. Overall, great dress!

Were you able to wear a normal bra with this?

I didn't wear a bra. You may be able to do a strapless but the shoulders are pretty wide so not a normal bra 

Fit was true to size, a little loose on the back where it zipped. Also a little tight on the hips, had to wiggle into it a bit. Very comfortable and I received tons of compliments. Nice length for a wedding. 

Rented both a 0 & 2. I ended up wearing the 0 but I have to say it was pretty tight. For my height, it went to the knees. Sleeves stayed better with the smaller size. Got many compliments for wearing the dress. It was beautiful ! 
I was able to wear a strapless bar and nude heels. Very snug and fit. 


This dress was amazing! I was so scared it would be too tight after reading reviews that it ran small but I had no issues. The top is more revealing than I expected and you 100% need to secure everything with tape. It was a great length which surprised me since I'm pretty short. There was a small rip in the meshy material that wasn't a huge deal but my friend noticed. I love this dress and got a million compliments!

Definitely runs a size small but looks beautiful in photos.  Better built for smaller frames, the hip and chest areas of the dress fit comfortably but it runs small around the rib cage area.  Would recommend to have fashion tape to keep the sleeves from falling down.  There are signs of wear and tear on this dress, nothing that someone would notice in passing but the lace does have a small tear and is beginning to look worn.  Overall, a wonderful experience and I will be using RTR for my next event!

I got so many compliments on this dress the whole night. I paired it with nude heels and gold statement earrings (also from RTR). Unfortunately the alternate size I requested wasn't available, so I don't know if the size 4 might have fit a little better. The 2 fit like a glove (a tiny glove with not a ton of wiggle room) in the hips and waist, but I was struggling with the top. I'm not a very large-chested gal but I had a hard time getting the zipper closed once it got up to my rib cage. I'll be honest I felt a tiny bit short of breath at times. And while the dress was uncomfortably snug around my ribs, at the same time the sleeves and bust felt loose, which I thought was odd. But, overall I was happy with the dress. If you're looking for comfort and the ability to take full, deep breaths, go with a size up. 

This dress is great!!! I have a  VERY hourglass figure. I have 39" bust and hips with a 26" waist. I'll tell you that this dress fit like a glove! I'd be sure of your size and maybe order the next one up as the extra but it will be worth it.  The shoulders are a bit tight when you lift your arms so don't expect to do jumping jacks in this dress, lol. All in all, this is my favorite of all the dresses I've rented (about 10 or so).

I have been eyeing this dress for months planning to wear it to a barmitzva. I actually rented it as backup, but at the last moment, my primary dress was unavailable so wearing this dress must have been fate. The dress definitely runs small. Do not flatter yourself thinking all of us are lying to ourselves about our size. I wear size 4 and I have slightly large hips. I couldn't even get into size 4. Size 6 fit perfectly. As others say, the cap sleeves slide, but two pieces of fashion tape and I didn't think about it even for a minute. I am athletic, but if you have (even a small) belly, wear control top hose, the dress is very snug. Overall a gorgeous dress. One small comment - this dress has been on RTR for a while and you can see slight signs of wear. Nothing another person would notice when you are wearing it, but it definitely doesn't feel brand new.
