This dress runs SMALL! I'm a size 8 so I got the 10 and even that too two people to get me into. I am also a size 36D and it took a bit of effort to get the girls stuffed in this thing. It all worked out tho!

Second this request, pretty please! You look AMAZING! Congrats :D


I am sorry I am new here, are the dresses only offered in the displayed colors? 

Hi A! 
Congrats on your engagement! Your photo is beautiful! Do you have your other photos online anywhere? I'm interested in a vintage themed engagement photo shoot also and would love to be able to get some other ideas for some beautiful photos!

Thanks!

I had my photos done by White Haute Photography (www.whitehautephotography). My photos have not been publicly posted on their blog yet, but they have tons of dreamy photos on their website and blog.  Enjoy! =)

sorry, it's www.whitehautephotography.com

I'm 5'2" -- do you think it'll be too long (it's for my wedding, in the  back yard of our house...) Thank you!


I am a size 0, and the 2R fit perfectly! It does run small.  I agree with the other reviewers with the cap sleeves being a little bit snug, but I didn't mind it too much.  I wore this dress for my vintage romance themed engagement photo shoot.  Compliments galore.  I felt like a princess and my fiance also loved the dress! =)

Runs pretty small & goes faster than other dresses so order early. Lots of layers so pretty hot if your event is outside during summer. Needed help in & out of it for sure. Loved this dress. It was hard to let go of. I'm 5'4" & the length was perfect. 

I used this gorgeous gown as an alternative wedding dress. The fit was snug. I was 8 weeks pregnant at the time with a growing waist and chest. I ordered a 10L thinking it would be perfect. I couldn't get the zipper past my waist! Thank goodness I got the 12L as a backup. It was still snug but at least it fit! It is made for an hourglass body. The only concern I had was how busty the top was. I constantly had to pull up the top to cover my chest. Overall this dress was fabulous! It felt magical. Perfect for a non traditional bride. 

More chest than I would have been comfortable with dancing in at the reception, but it was perfect for the ceremony at the venue, the very romantic looking palace of fine arts in San Francisco. I rented the size 8 and size 6. Luckily, the size 6 fit better, since the size 8 had one sleeve that looked like it had been ripped and repaired, which made one sleeve really tight, while the other was noticeably larger. I wore the regular length with flats, so if you are taller, get the longer one. It was a bit of a gamble to use RTR for my wedding, since if the 6 wasn't the one that fit me, I would have had to have worn the reception dress for the ceremony and the reception.

As soon as I pulled the dress out of the box it was love at first site.  I knew the dress ran small so I went up two sizes, to the 8.  At 5'6 (almost 5'7) I knew I needed the long but they were sold out for the weekend I rented so I had to go with 8R and it was floor length.  The arms holes are small and snug but the rest of the dress fit fine.  I have never gotten so many compliments before, many people told me I was best dresses.  My husband and I both thought I looked just as beautiful in this dress as I did on my wedding day (if not more).  Would recommend this dress to anyone!!! 

This dress is the most amazing thing I will wear until my wedding. I already miss it. I am typically between a 4 and a 6 but after reading the reviews I saw it ran small so I got an 8R. They were out of all the other sizes around 8L but thankfully it fit perfectly. It was about 2 inches off the floor with my shoes on (I'm 5'6 and my shoes were 4') but I actually preferred it because then the gown didn't get dirty. It still took two people to zip me up, there is a tight corset zipper then the dress zipper that I just couldn't do it myself. So I would definitely recommend going one size up from your regular size. But seriously everyone I saw said I looked like a princess and I really felt like one. Best dress ever.

Does run a tad but small. I'm very petite in the chest area and it fit pretty snug. If I was any larger than an A cup I would have had trouble getting into it. Don't plan on lifting your arms. Also, the dress is a lot heavier than it looks. Lots of tulle make it hard to pick up when you're walking up/down stairs. It's well worth it though!

This dress was so dreamy!  I wore it to sing in a wedding and it was perfect!  It was blush/pink enough not to compete with the bride.  I'm 5' 4"/130lbs and I usually wear a 4 in RTR but only the 4P was available.  It fit just a little snug in the chest area, but it just made me look more endowed than I am ;).  It has a built in bra-like corset, so I didn't have to wear a bra.  The length was fine because I wore cowboy boots for this outdoor wedding, but would have been too short if I wanted to wear heels so be sure to go for the long if you're looking to wear heels.  This fairy tale dress sure is fun to wear, dance in and makes you feel like a princess!

An ethereal dress.   Felt like a princess. No bra needed although you will need someone else to zip you in. Next size up may have fit more comfortably. 

I decided to go with a non-traditional wedding dress for our non-traditional wedding. I fell in love with this dress, and kept coming back to it. It arrived the night before the wedding, later in the day, which had me more than a little nervous. They were out of a 10, which would have been a perfect fit, I think. I ended up with an 8 and a 12; the 8 wouldn't zip, the 12 fit, but was a little big in the shoulders. The boning in the bodice was great, and the length was perfect for my 5'5". I wore 2" heels, and the dress skimmed the floor. Overall, I couldn't have been more pleased with the dress. It made my day that much more special.

This dress was so amazing. I wore it for engagement photos. I knew ordering it that it ran small but they didn't have the size up available so I took a gamble. When I first tried it on we were not able to get it zipped. I had to get creative, i held my boobs out of the dress, had my partner zip it up then shoved my boobs back in. The dress was tight but comfortable when zipped. I could sit comfortably. There's so much fabric to the dress it's absolutely amazing. The sleeves are very constricting and make it almost impossible to raise your arms, but not too inconvenient since I only wore the dress for pictures. I love this dress so much and it made my pictures amazing.   

This dress is pretty amazing. It fit like a glove, and I felt so beautiful in it. I got more compliments on this dress than any other dress I've ever worn! People kept stopping me and my fiancé and telling us we looked amazing. I got called a princess by at least five people. So if you're looking for a dress that makes you feel incredible, this is the one.
The only caveats I have are these:
1) Like other reviewers wrote, the sleeves are kind of tight. This didn't bother me but it's definitely worth noting.
2) It's snug and it runs small! I usually wear a 6 but zipping up the 6 wasn't even an option, so if you're planning on getting your normal size, go up one size for your backup.
3) If you have good posture, the back of the dress sticks out a little bit. Maybe it was just my body type, but when I slouched the dress fit great, and then when I rolled my shoulders back (which is how I usually stand) the wings on the back of the dress stuck out a little awkwardly.
That's all! It's a beautiful dress, and I felt beautiful in it!

Absolutely stunning. Saw this dress on Olivia Wilde at the Oscars years ago and was convinced it would one day be my wedding gown. I had a black tie event to attend on NYE and when I saw this dress was available on RTR I literally squealed. 

I would say it fits smallish, but it still fit. Took a friend to squeeze my bust into it but we made it. I had the 10R as a backup and genuinely there was not much difference at all in sizing. The 6 was definitely form fitting and tight...especially the sleeves....but I found it to be more flattering because it was so tight. My waist is 26" and it fit it perfectly. My 38" bust was a bit more challenging, but eventually we got the ladies in there.

I'm 5'10" and the long length was fine with flats, would've worked with small heels too. I found the regular length to be a tiny bit short on me for my liking. 

All in all, such a dream gown but was 100% not made for comfort. 

Beautiful dress! You may find it needs a bit of work eliminating the wrinkles in the chiffon, but overall it was ready to wear! 

The rental price for the wow factor of this dress make this a 10/10 on the score board! I ordered the 4P.  The length on the 4P was perfect with my heels, but ! ended up wearing this size (my backup) since the fit was better on my bust and waist. You can tell that this dress is very well made. It has a double zipper to secure you in since this dress has alot of fabric and is quite heavy. The color and tulle fabric is so soft and feminine!   

I wore it for my engagement shoot and it was just perfect.  I'm so happy my photographers D Park Photography suggested dressing up and getting my make up and hair professionally done, because the compliments we got from our photos from friends and family was nothing but "stunning, amazing, incredible, and gorgeous." 

Lastly, my dress arrived a couple days before my arrival date!  This made a world of a difference. I was able to accessorize! 

I would 100% rent this dress again!  I just signed up for the Pro Members program and it is so worth it.   After the 1st rental, the membership pays for itself. If you are planning on renting more than one time in a year, you can't lose with the pro members program. 


The 4r wasn't delivered so the 6r dress was bigger than I wanted. It was still gorgeous, the skirt is heavy and hard to lift up stairs and probably not easy to dance in but it got a TON of compliments.  

This dress. Is perfect. It matched my skin tone, it flowed like a dream, and it was just perfect. Definitely thinking of renting and wearing as a wedding dress...

The 10R runs long - I'm 5'7" and needed a heel height of at least 2" to make it work without gathering up a mountain of tulle every time I tried to walk - and tight - that problem was solved with spanx.

This fit my body so eloquently. I honestly felt like a real life princess. It does run smaller than size. I am usually a size 2 and I listened to the previous reviewers and rented a size 4 L. Perfect fit! This is overall an exquisite and gorgeous dress. Returning it completely ached my heart. 

the length was perfect when i wore heels. the bodice fit like a glove but i couldn't sit comfortably. 6P was too big.
