Reem Acra

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

To start off, as soon as I opened my RTR box, I was impressed. The dress was carefully folded in it's own garment bag. Since the tulle was so fine it hardly had any creases in it as I had expected. There are two zippers to the back of the dress; one inner zipper to secure the bustier and an outer zipper to close up the dress. As soon as I stepped into it, I knew it would be a little snug. I am 5'11 with a pretty typical hourglass figure. I have a very small natural waist and pretty wide hips. The dress nicely concealed my hips while accentuating my small waist. The zipper was pretty easy to zip past my waist but once we got to the upper bit, it was a little more challenging. I wear a 36DD and the dress made them look much bigger than that! I'm pretty modest so it was a little uncomfortable for me but well worth it. I got compliments ALL night about how pretty the dress was and how great I looked. I noticed a lot of heads turn! I also noticed that this dress really does help you walk more confidently! I will say, if you can, try getting a size up for your second size. Also, I was originally going to wear flats with this dress because I thought it would be too short with my wearing heels but as it turns out, I was able to wear 3 inch heels and the dress still hit the floor. If you are taller like me, go with the longer size!

I ordered a regular size 2 and a size 4 petite. The petite one was better for my short stature but being size 4 meant it was too big for me around the chest and neckline. I didn't have a choice but to wear the regular size 2 which fit perfectly except that it was too long (I'm 5'1) so I had to wear high heels and constantly lift the hem. Other than that, it was gorgeous!

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

Reem acra needs to get on board with real sizes. I am typically a true 10 and couldn't get anywhere close to zipping up the 12. Such a disappointment.

I'm not sure if I made a silly mistake of not reading the sizing chart properly but the dress I ordered was a size 10. After not understanding how extremely small it was on me, I had my friend who is a usually size 6 try it on to see if I was going crazy and she barely fit in it. I still ended up using the gown because it was GORGEOUS and photographed extremely well but I had to clip the back together. It flows very well and makes you definitely feel like a princess. The dress itself deserved 5 stars and had me in awe but due to the sizing confusions I probably wouldn't rent it again.

Absolutely gorgeous dress, planning on wearing as a wedding gown but was unable to fit my 40D chest. Color was just slightly pink and the cut was amazing... If only it fit!!

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!

The boning/corset portion of the dress fit incredibly awkwardly when I tried it on. The back stuck out at least an inch away from actually touching my back/shoulders and the sleeve portion was just awkward and uncomfortable. Luckily it was a back-up option to another dress, but I wasn't really a fan

I wore this for prom and I absolutely loved it! The material flows beautifully and if you're considering renting this- DO IT! It's so worth it. The only con I had was the boning in the back made it buckle and not lay against my skin. I was able to pin it so that it was perfect though. I believe that problem was because I needed the 2R but it was unavailable, so I settled for the 4R.

The dress is absolutely stunning, but has no stretch so ensure that you order up for your back up size. Although it may look heavy, its very light and airy, which was perfect for a long night of dancing!

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.

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.

Runs small, for sure. I normally wear a 6/8 and needed the 10. However, looked great on and was super comfortable. Nice having the cap sleeves too. Would recommend for all body types and colorings, beautiful, beautiful dress. Complimented all night long! :)

This dress was absolutely fantastic for prom! I got an innumerable amount of complements and the dress really made me feel like a princess! It does run small, so do go up a size for sure. The only other con of the dress are the sleeves, they don't have elastic in them so it's a tad difficult to dance since your arms don't move around too much; however, the complements you will get from this dress makes the whole experience worthwhile. Definitely my most favorite gown that I have ever worn!

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.

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! :)

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 is a very awkward fit. The sleeves are VERY snug around your armpits and the dress is a lot more rigid than it looks on the model. There is also A LOT of fabric which completely overtook my 5' 3" frame. All in all I would not recommend this dress.

The fit ran a bit smaller and the length slightly shorter than I had expected so I was not able to wear it to the event. The dress is very beautiful but very uncomfortable and restricting, plus the sleeves irritated and scratched my arms in the 10 minutes I had it on.

The dress was beautiful but didn't seem to be in great condition. There are two zippers and the outside one wouldn't close because it was warped. I loved the shape and feel of it, but the color was also a bit too close to my skin tone (I'm quite pale.)

I ended up not wearing this gown as it was not cut correctly for a petite, busty girl. My normal size (2) was too small in the top and the back of the size 4 stuck up past my shoulders because of the boning. Gorgeous dress for someone with a small bust!

The fit was slightly small in the bodice but true to size in the waist. I am usually a 6 but wore while I was 4 months pregnant. The dress was gorgeous and elegant.

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!

I wore this dress for a photoshoot and felt like a princess. Truly gorgeous and ethereal feel. I normally wear a 2 and this fit snug on me. It ran long on me because I wore Ugg boots underneath during the shoot in Malibu but it would have been perfect with 4" heels

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.

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.

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. Stats for reference: 5'9" 133 lbs Pants: 6 Dresses: 4 Chest: 34" Ribs (just under boobs): 28 1/2" Waist: 25.5" Hips: 37"

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.

The chest/waist are as tight as advertised (if not tighter). The top has no give, so I wore the 6 instead of my usual 4 in order to get the ladies in! I wear a 30DD bra and my bust at its widest is 35". You cannot go wrong with this dress!

I received so many compliments with this dress. I felt like a princess. Very flattering dress. Runs small so order a size up.

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.

I am always a size 2 and had to go up a size and wear the the 4. It is very snug in the ribcage area and the chest. There are so many layers of fabric on this dress it makes you feel incredible and very romantic!

So I ordered this dress as a second dress for prom because I didn't think it would fit, but was willing to try. I normally wear a 4R, and I rented this in a 6R, because that's the closest size they had available for the date I needed it. When I tried it on and IT FIT I was so pleased! I'm 5'5 and it was a bit long. I tried to wear heels with it on around the house, but I felt like the heels kept stabbing the back of the dress and I was afraid it would tear. The only spot where the dress didn't fit completely was my bust. I'm pretty small in the bust, so that didn't really surprise me. The waist of the 4R wouldn't have fit me, however, since the waist of the 6R was snug, even though I'm pretty thin. I loved wearing this dress though! Only other thing I'll add- if you want to go outside for pictures, be careful because the dress loves to snag on branches and it's a huuuuge bug net. Especially if you live in muggy Florida. Other than that, I loved this dress :)

I couldn't believe this dress when I first got it. I normally wear a size 4 in dresses but I saw that it ran small so I rented the 6 and 8 in the regular length (I'm 5'3"). The zippers are impossible. I had to lay down on my back while my parents forced the inner zipper together and pulled it up. As it turns out, when i received the dress, the zipper had been so affected by other customers that it was almost not wearable. Luckily my mom knows the trick about putting candle wax on the zippers and it worked like a charm. Honestly, at Prom, the most common word to describe me was "princess"--possibly because I wore a tiara to Prom, just to spite not having a date lol! I was so happy with my photos too. I am usually super self conscious of my body but I felt seriously amazing in this dress. As I said, I'm 5'3", and I didn't really need heels, but I didn't want the tulle to be discolored and pay extra to fix it, so I wore 4 inch heels and the length was absolutely perfect. The sleeves are definitely irritating--by the end of the night, my shoulders had red irritating marks. Also, wear a gel bra with this--it's irritating in that area too. Altho, I am only a 34B and this dress made my chest look amazing lol! Overall I'm happy with my rental and I'm glad the price is only $70 compared to $350 last year. It was a memorable Prom and the dress was half the reason! PS: statement necklaces look amazing with this gown!

I normally wear anywhere between a 4 and an 8. I ordered the 6R and 8R (the 6 did not even nearly fit me). I ended up wearing the 8R, and it was definitely snug around my waist. The dress is comfortable, but after four hours or so the tulle around the edge of the dress was a little scratchy. In addition, i love to dance, but felt that i had to gather most of the layers of tulle in my hands so no one would step on them and rip them! The dress is full but not poofy. Despite these two small mini-issues i ABSOLUTELY recommend this dress. I carry more weight around my midsection but this dress made my waist look tiny and overall I felt very pretty. I think it would work on almost all body types—it really is a great dress for any formal occasion. I cannot recommend it enough!!!
