Reem Acra is one of my favorite designers. The dress is ethereal and dreamy!
Size worn: 2R
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Other
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! =)

Ethereal, romantic, and gorgeous.
Size worn: 4R
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
I have never gotten compliments on a dress like I did with this one! This dress was just as beautiful as I had imagined it would be and it fit perfectly. I was a little bit worried since my larger backup size was out for my dates, but the 4R fit like a glove even with a larger bust size. My heels were 3 inches high, and the dress just looked like it was floating. Best decision ever!

The chest/waist are as tight as advertised (if not tighter). No give, so I wore the 6 instead of my usual 4 in order to get my 30DD's in. You cannot go wrong with this dress!

This dress was a dream!
Size worn: 4L
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Formal Affair
I rented this dress for a black tie gala and was a little nervous since my backup size 6 was out. I ordered the 4R and 4L and figured I could wear the shorter version with flats.
I've never been into "princess"-type dresses, but this Reem Acra is really a stunner. It flows beautifully and the layers of tulle are to die for! I will say there is a lot more fabric than I was expecting. It was a little difficult to maneuver into the car so I could drive and I had to bunch it up while I sat to keep those sitting next to me from getting their chairs stuck on it (and to keep me from doing the same!). It was definitely worth it though.
For me this dress ran true to size, but I marked it as "runs small" because I have a smaller upper body. I don't think this dress would work well for an apple shape, but it would be great for pears or hour glasses. There is a corset inside the dress which holds you in nicely, but this (coupled with the very tight fit) could be problematic for those with who carry their weight in the middle or who have larger chests.
I'm 5'9 and wore 4 inch heels and the 4L dress just grazed the ground. With flats the 4R was just above the ground but I definitely could have pulled it off.

A Dress Rental You Won't Regret
Size worn: 8L
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Formal Affair
The only other dress I've worn of this quality was my wedding dress! I felt amazing in it. I wore a size 8L and it was snug but not at all uncomfortable. If you don't like to show off "the girls" know that the top of the dress is better suited for small-chested women. I received dozens of compliments from complete strangers. LOVED IT!

Ethereal romance!!
Size worn: 12R
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
This gown is so beautiful, everyone loved it at our black tie Air Force Dining Out. I wore the 12 to be safe but had comfortable room in it even with my ample chest. I would call this true to size for hourglass girls who have smaller rib cages. If you need a little more space in the middle definitely consider sizing up.
I tried it with the stone necklace worn by the model (a seriously awesome piece!) but I preferred this vintage romance look which definitely borders on princess territory. I added an ivory sash and some bling for a little extra glamour.
I was so excited by this dress and it certainly doesn't hurt that several gorgeous actresses have sported it in the past. I had previously rented the green lace backed Reem Acra with disastrous results but this style was perfect for my body type. I danced comfortably in it for 4 hours. My pumps were another story!

I won best dressed!
Size worn: 6R
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
When I got the dress in the mail I was sooooo excited. Then, when I put it on, I felt like an absolute princess! I did not want to take it off! There were only two problems I had with the dress, the first, is that I have pretty large breasts so they were popping out of the dress a little...but it probably gave me more attention hahaha. Secondly, I took pictures in the grass and somehow bugs just loved the dress...it was basically a mosquito net, so I found myself having to constantly get bugs out of the layers...but if youre inside, this obviously won't be a problem. Anyway, I felt so beautiful, and I won best dressed form all the girls at prom, it was fabulous!

Beautiful dress
Size worn: 6L
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
I loved the way the dress holds the body right.
My breast is not very big yet it looked great in the dress.
The dress is definitely fuller than on the model.
It is very stiff and has plenty of body.
I added the black so I can wear it to a black tie wedding. Did not want to blend in with the bride.
People could not stop asking me where I got my dress from.
The only thing I did not like was the fact that I had to iron the skirt before the event. The many layers of soft tulle were wrinkly and did not look good when I got the dress in the mail.
I had to take the time and carefully iron each layer.

It was the best dress at the event. Why? Because It's thousands of dollars.
Size worn: 4R
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Formal Affair
The fit is a bit small. I have a smaller waist so I expected the 2 to fit me but it would not even zip. I squeezed into the 4 and my boobs were practically falling out. There is a lot of poof - more dress than I could hold with one hand so that made it difficult to dance in. It looked incredible though.

The dress was too long (I am not a Long fit, but I ordered way too late!) so I had to wear 5 inch heels which was terrible, but the dress was great. At dinner I received so many compliments and everyone was in love! I definitely felt like a princess for prom!

It was a beautiful dress that I and everyone loved. It was more beautiful that I had hoped.
Size worn: 6R
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
It was a little heavy because of the lining and layers. It never wrinkled and was easy to wear; I had a normal strapless bra on and at no point had an issue with the dress moving or shifting on my body. The top is structured and held its shape. I was hot dancing in it though. I am a slender person, but I felt it made me look a little broad, but not too much. I had white flowers and slightly pink roses (that were suppose to be ivory) but it went very well together.

I rented this dress for my sorority's black tie formal. I had my eye on this dress four months before the event and it definitely exceeded my expectations! I had to wear the second size because the sleeves are small. I ordered the regular length and forgot to factor in wearing heels. However, it ended up working out because the dress didn't drag on the floor and it was easier to walk in. This dress is beautiful and if I could wear it everyday, I would!

Princess Grace Dress
Size worn: 6R
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
I loved this dress. I wore it to a black tie gala for an organization that had just elected me to the board. It felt really sophisticated and appropriate at the event--not just good for prom or wedding related stuff! I was nervous about the color but I think it was perfect on my very light skin tone.
The fit was great, although the layer under the tulle skirt was tighter than I had anticipated. I barely noticed a difference between the 4 and the 6 but went with the 6 because of this.

I wore this to prom and so many people told me I looked like a princess! I definitely felt like one!
Size worn: 2R
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Formal Affair
This dress was amazing! The only reason I was able to wear it was because the day before my original order was supposed to arrive (I was going to wear the Heaven on Earth gown by Theia in size 0R) I received an email from RTR informing me that the woman renting the dress before me had not sent it back yet, so I had to choose another dress. This was the worst part about my RTR experience, but the upside was that I could choose any replacement regardless of the price! The fashion gods must have been in a good mood, because this dress was available so I jumped right on the offer! Like it says, this dress does run small, but for me the 2 was still a little too big. It might just be because I am so petite and have a very small chest area, but the back of the dress was way too big when I put the straps right on my shoulders. At first I had a mini-crisis because I thought that the dress wouldn't fit, but I realized the solution was to wear the straps off the shoulder, which I think looked even prettier than where they were supposed to go! Because I'm so flat, I decided to wear a bra to add some shape, but the only issue here was that you could see it when I bent over because the dress didn't fit perfectly. With four inch heals, it was a couple centimeters off the ground, which was perfect because there is so much material so you don't want to step on it. The dress ended up being so fun for prom! So many people came up to me to compliment me, and I felt so unique compared to all the tacky prom dresses that all look alike. It was fun to dance in, except when I got uncomfortable and took off my shoes I had to hold it up so that no one would step on it. With all that in mind, this is a great dress and RTR has really great service, but be prepared to have back up choices in case tragedy strikes, (and to return your dress on time so you don't ruin someone else's experience!), and also to be patient and make the dress work as best as you can.

The dress runs mostly true to size and runs to the ankles. The sleeves on the dress were slightly tight and i needed to use fashion tape to keep them up. Overall i loved the dress, it is a great alternative to the often gaudy Prom dresses available elsewhere.

This dress was absolutely beautiful, I kept getting complements the whole night! It's a great choice for pear-shaped women. I'm 5'8 and the 8L worked perfectly for me, I could wear 2" heels with nothing showing through. I'm a 32D and the boning and structure of the dress allowed me to go bra-less, which was fantastic. Thank you so much for a beautiful dress! :)

Bc it runs big, the size 4 was perfect for her frame. The cap sleeves were a little restricting but totally worth the design. This dress is gorgeous! It was definitely a unique choice for a prom bc it's different from the super sleek blingy choices that most young ladies chose. With that said, Greta was a standout. She was in a completely different league; looking very elegant and classy.

You almost shouldn't wear a bra with this dress. When I first put it on I had a bra on until I realized it was a little more cleavage than I was comfortable with. The length was perfect as soon as I put heels on.

This dress is amazing! it is flowy, classy, beautiful and makes you feel incredible. It does run a little small, but the lenght and fit was what I needed. Our families and photographer loved the dress and I could have not asked for anything better for our special day. Thank you RTR! I can't stop recomending your services.

It made me feel like a princess on my birthday!
Size worn: 4R
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Formal Affair
The sizing from this designer is a bit different. She has a line of wedding dresses and from what I've heard, wedding dresses normally run large. I was sent a 2R and that fit perfectly except one of the sleeves looked to have been altered and I could not for the life of me pull it up past my forearm. The 4R was way too long, but RTR sent me some fashion tape and I was able to shorten it. The dress was a bit worn; the elastic on one of the sleeves was stretched out so it kept slipping off my shoulder. But otherwise it's a beautiful dress. I felt like I in a fairy tale all night long. Everyone kept telling me how gorgeous my gown was.

This dress was sent to me as a backup. While I thought it was absolutely beautiful, it just wasn't right for the event I was attending. It was a little too special for a wedding. It did not stop me from snapping a few pictures in it! The dress fit beautifully. The boning really holds you in, but I have to admit I felt a bit like a linebacker with the sleeves. Not the most flattering on my swimmer shoulders. To the right event, this dress is a really winner!

I wore this dress to the Grammys this year and I couldn't have been happier. The fit was absolutely perfect and I got compliments all night. Several people came up to me to tell me they thought I was wearing the best dress of the night. It flowed beautifully and fit like a glove. I'm 5'4" and 110 lbs so I was worried that ordering a 2 would be a disaster (I'm pretty much always a 0), but it was perfect. Without heels the dress is too long to walk around with, so I wore some 3" heels and it was fine.
Worth every penny!

This dress is perfect for an elegant, formal affair. I had reservations about the color, but I think it would suit any skin tone. It really is a princess-y dress! As for the fit, I typically order a regular, but I read reviews that suggested the long, and they were accurate. The 4L was just right, and I wore 4" heels.

So light and airy. The color is to diefor, and the boning in the dress makes you waist look so much smaller.
The tulle fabric on the sleeves did make me itch slightly, but I would suffer just for the sheer beauty of the dress.
If your a true 10, then the 12 is the right size for you. It does run small so be careful. A girdle def won't help.

Stunning, once-in-a-lifetime gown!
Size worn: 8R
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Formal Affair
I absolutely love this gown! it is so gorgeous in person and was flattering on my pale skin tone. However, I could not wear it because the bodice was too small. I am normally a 6, and ordered an 8R, and the bodice was simply too small. It has absolutely no stretch to it so women with larger bust (I am a 34DD), must size up. I think the 10R would have been perfect, even though that is a much larger size than I usually wear.

Very pretty dress that was sent to me when my original dress was not available. Unfortunately, it was only available in my usual size and it runs very small so I did not wear. Particularly if you are remotely busty or have an above average sized rib cage for your frame I would suggest going up 2 sizes. The hips aren't fitted at all so pear shapes might not need to size up much at all.

Was recommended this dress by a stylist at RTR when my dress was cancelled. Felt like a princess!
Size worn: 2R
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Formal Affair
I was hoping to wear a 0 but the stylist recommended that the 2R would fit because the dress runs small. It fit length wise but the bust was a little big. Had to wear a strapless bra to make it fit a little better. However I wore it and it was stunning. Lots of compliments.

It was amazing! It's a very unique dress.
Size worn: 2R
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
There is a sort of shimmer to the fabric, so it doesn't look like plain beige.
Also, the twisted bustier part made my chest looked bigger, which was a plus haha. I needed help to put it on because it was so tight, but it was not, in any way, uncomfortable
I absolutely loved the sleeves, because I have athletic shoulders, they really accentuated that characteristic.
The skirt ended up being bigger than I expected, but it wasn't a negative or a positive.
If you don't have a narrow waist/aren't an hourglass figure, the waist will be tight around you. If you plan on eating a lot of food, don't!
Nothing bad, it was perfect.

Did not wear :(

I had to wear my backup dress because unfortunately the 2 did not run small enough to fit my size 0, petite frame. I had been hoping that it would, based on other reviews, but my experience was that it was a typical size 2 up top. It fit fine around the waist. I honestly did not get as far as checking the length. I was surprised because a few girls said the sleeves were tight but it was precisely this part that was too loose; the back of the dress was poking out and the sleeves would not stay in place. Kind of a bummer not to wear a dress that is SUCH an expensive rental. But I guess that's the risk you take to be able to wear great dresses from RTR. Thankfully my backup was wonderful.
