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! =)

The perfect dress. Made me feel like I was a character out of a romantic novel
Size worn: 8R
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
I was terrified that the dress wouldn't fit, but it was absolutely perfect! The waist was small, but I liked the way it showed off my curves. The dress was the perfect neutral color so that I could accent it with colorful jewelry or the classic pearls I went with. Definitely made my senior prom memorable!

Classy and Subtle
Size worn: 2R
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
Fit: Tight and snug at chest and waist. Be sure to have someone help you in the dress. There is no hook on the top to guide the zippers, so I had one person pull the two sides together while another person zipped me up. Theres actually TWO zippers: one for the bodice, and another for the outer layer of tulle. I wore 1-2 inch heels and steamed the dress so the tulle would hang lower, and it was perfect, though when I was walking sometimes the tulle caught on the back of my heels when I was walking. You cant really raise your arms straight up in this dress, but its not a big deal.
Its so eye catching is an ethereal, subtle, and not pretentious way. There are 3 layers of tulle, and I felt like such a classy princess. You definitely do not need a bra in this dress, as its very snug so you'll have the support. This dress is best for small to medium sized busts, in my opinion.

this dress was perfect for my senior prom. I received so many compliments, and it was so unique.
Size worn: 8R
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Party
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!!!

Total Princess Dress!
Size worn: 6R
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Other
As soon as I slipped this on, I felt like I was in a movie -- such a gorgeous, flowy dress. I would wear this everywhere if it was appropriate! I will say, personally I don't think this should be worn to a wedding -- it is not that far off from some bridal gowns and while it is blush, it is very very light in color. Could steal their thunder!
One con -- you cannot lift your arms past your shoulder, but this dress is worth it. Also, plan to take the time to steam each layer. It will arrive quite crumpled, but with a little tlc, it looks perfect.
Runs small -- go one size up for this dress. I rented the 4R and 6R and barely noticed a difference between the two so I went with the larger size. Also isn't SUPER long. I am 5'5 and could wear 2 inch heels max. If you are looking for higher shoes, get the long (personally I like being able to wear flats because with all the tulle, no one could tell!)

I normally wear a size 2, but a day before they told me that the previous owner has damaged the dress. They sent me the size 4L and two other dresses, I was worried it wouldn't fit but as the dress description says it runs small and the 4L fit so perfect I loved the the fit. All night I got complements saying I looked so elegant like a princess. It turned out so perfectly.

Size worn: 8R
Overall fit: Small

It was difficult to move around in this dress without stepping on the tulle -- that was a huge issue, especially in heels. Climbing up and down stairs is especially difficult because of the sheer amount of fabric. Like many others have said, the bodice is very, very tight -- it is difficult to zip up. Overall, the dress was very beautiful - I received many compliments. I think I would have regretted not wearing this dress.

hHoly moly, I rented this for a photo shoot (I am a professional photographer) and it did NOT disappoint! THe detail and farbic are so dreamy. The amount of fabric is amazing. It fit her perfectly and it was really the perfect dress. I plan on renting it again!
My model has a very small bust and this was a little tight. If you have a chest of any kind, you may want to go up a size.
All of the size info attached is for the model, who is a petitie size 2.

Overall fit: Small

I rented this dress for my senior homecoming court and absolutely loved it!! The 4 I received fit perfectly but was unfortunately damaged.. so I had to wear the 6, which was in great condition. It worked fine when I put a strapless bra on with it! I was thankful that the regular length worked perfect for me wearing flats!! - I am 5'10". I said the dress runs small because the 6 fit me and I normally wear a 2. It will probably need to be steamed - which is a little difficult with all the layers but totally worth it though because the dress was absolutely GORGEOUS!

I rented this for a bridal photoshoot (I am a photographer) and it did not disappoint! My model was a size 2 and petite, but we only had an option of ordering a size 6R as others were sold out. And I am so glad they did! Size 6 fit her like a glove. The only problem we had was how it rose on the back, but I think it was because how petite my model was. The dress was just gorgeous! We have a hundred of beautiful images and I can definitely recommend it as a wedding gown, even though the color is not white. LOVED this dress!

It was my birthday weekend and we were invited to a red carpet event - of course I needed a gown that made me feel special. This gown was not only gorgeous but comfortable. I read all of the reviews and knew that it ran small so I ordered a 10 and it was snug but not uncomfortable. The gown (material and cut) was beautiful and although the arm/shoulder straps were a bit awkward, I didn't care. It was the perfect gown and everyone told me that I looked like a princess ;)

Size worn: 2L
Overall fit: True to Size

This dress is made to stand and look pretty, not really made for function ; ) It looked amazing. It hugged all the right places and was so elegant. The top does squeeze you in so if you don't like showing off your chest too much, don't get this dress! The cap sleeves restrict you so you literally can not raise your arms above your head, which is odd - but good thing I didn't have to raise my arms much that event. It was just so beautiful on that it made all those little quirks worth it. I really wish I had not forgotten my camera and actually took a picture of the full length of the gown as it was simply stunning. I highly recommend this dress to anyone.

My wedding dress!
Size worn: 10R
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Wedding
I wore this for the photos and ceremony at my wedding. It fit tight across the bust, but sizing one up from my dress size (two sizes up from my regular size) made it perfect! Thank you to the RTR team for going above and beyond to make this happen! Great for anyone with an hourglass figure, but probably wouldn't work on a bust larger than C/D.

Gorgeous, fun, and a truly unforgettable dress!!
Size worn: 6R
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Wedding
This dress is AMAZING!! I wore it as a bridesmaid's dress and received compliments all night long! It was comfortable, fun to dance in, and glamorous! The only cons: the cap sleeves are pretty tight and I couldn't raise my arms fully, and it's really hard to walk up and down the stairs (lots of fabric!). The bust is pretty tight, so definitely go up a size if you have a larger bust. But the pros definitely outweigh the cons, and I would still give this dress 5 stars!! I wish I could keep it!

Beautiful Prom Dress!
Size worn: 4R
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
Ordering this dress was a bit of a gamble for me because all the reviews said to size up, but I got my regular dress size and it was fine! Getting it on was a bit of a hassle, but that was mostly because of my chest. The sizing was a bit off for me, but nothing awful. I'm 5'5 1/2" and I ordered the regular length, but the hem was about an inch off the ground so I had to wear flats, which you could see. The back of the dress is stiff, and it stood out from my back a little, like my torso was too short. You can kind of see it in the third picture. My bra size is a 32G so it was definitely a squeeze, but I didn't have to wear a bra and a could dance as much as I wanted without anything slipping out. I did feel like the dress flattened me out a little bit, making me look wider than I am, but that's just me nitpicking. I took off one star because I was expecting to be able to wear heels. Overall, this dress was beautiful, I felt gorgeous, and my boyfriend loved it!

An unforgettable dress
Size worn: 4P
Overall fit: True to Size

This dress is perfectly flattering: tight in the bodice and then flowing from the waist down. I was really worried it would be too small, but I was able to zip it up myself behind my back, although it was a pretty snug fit, but in a good way. The bodice does not leave any room for well endowed ladies though! I have an A sized bust but look like a C! I thought this dress was perfect understated glamour. The color keeps it from being too young or princess-y looking. I ordered the petite and at 5'1 wearing flats it was the perfect length.

Wore this as a bridesmaid's dress to a friend's black tie wedding: felt like Cinderella!
Size worn: 4R
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Wedding
I read the reviews about how it runs small but they didn't have a 6 for a backup so I crossed my fingers and had two friends squeeze me into it. Fit like a glove, I have a very small bust which helped, since that's where it's tightest (has a corset like thing in it that goes from bust down to just above the belly button). Got tons of compliments all night! True however that you can't raise your arms and that it's easy to trip on the skirt. But worth it I thought for the effect!

I definitely felt like I had the best dress at the Ball.
Size worn: 8R
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Formal Affair
I rented this for the Marine corps ball and it was my first time using RTR and I was SO nervous because I rented it 2 days before the ball. I saw all the pictures and reviews on it and I knew it was the dress that I had to wear. I wasn't sure of my size because I use to be a 10 but I lost about 25 lbs from my last measurement. I saw it ran small so I ordered the 8R and 10L (only had a Long in the size 10) I knew the 10L would be too long because I'm only 5'4 so I was praying the 8R would fit. When I came I immediately tried it on (the 8) and It wouldn't even zip up! The 10 was hard to zip up too. The next 2 days I are very little and sat in the sauna to get rid of water weight and on the day of my event the size 8R (after two people helping) finally zipped up. And it was definitely snug but not in a uncomfortable way. It suck everything in and it felt great! I cannot say enough how wonderful this dress is. It is AMAZING. The quality, the way it shapes you, and how it flows.. It is the perfect dress and I couldn't have chosen a better one. I felt so confident and gorgeous in it and I received so many compliments. I was sad to return it but I just sent it back today! It really is wonderful and if you're considering it, then consider this; IT RUNS SMALL, you will look flat chested, it's hard to walk up steps, and it is long. I'm 5'4 and with 2" heels the regular was still long. I would get your actual dress size and them go up a size in the second dress. If you choose this dress you will definitely stand out. I'm so happy I found this site and this dress for my event<3

It was, officially, my first black tie event!
Size worn: 6R
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
Well, I believe the dress is true to size for a size six! However, I am normally a size two to a size four. Unfortunately, they were out of stock on both for the time I needed the dress. It was one big chase after another to find another dress, but luckily, this size came through just in time. The fit was lovely everywhere except for the chest, and even with a strapless, I had to keep tugging all night. The sleeves weren't meant to hold the bodice up. I think had I received the size I originally wanted, it would have been a five star rating. My upper body is a bit narrow, but my bust is a 28 F (or victoria secret size of 32 DD) so that gives you an idea of how to fill up the bodice. You'll want it tight, definitely.
Nonetheless, it was a BEAUTIFUL dress. I received compliments all night saying how much I looked like a princess! The tulle was quite fun, and I really enjoyed myself, despite the tugging. However, the tulle can also be quite full when it comes to sitting down at the dinner table. So tuck constantly! The dress was the perfect height with one to two inch heels. The color is stunning, and you will definitely feel elegant the entire evening. Just make sure your event doesn't have silk napkins. They refuse to stay on your lap!

Although the 6R fit, it was a little too short with a 4 inch heel, so I wore the 8R. It was very comfortable and easy to wear. My only complaint is, the back seemed to bow up above my shoulders a little. Maybe my torso is too short? Also, a little caution for busty ladies, the neckline is low.

Size worn: 4R
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
The dress in regular length is still really long, I was wearing 5" heels and it was still too long. Luckily, the rest of the dress fits me, quite snug however. Zipping up the dress was practically a 2 person job, there was an awkward connection at the waist where zipping is very difficult. The dress was very uncomfortable, I felt very tight and very restricted, even though it wasn't too small, as in, there were room in weird places. Overall, this dress definitely has the WOW effect, practically everyone complimented me on how beautiful the dress looked. If you are planning to be in this dress for more than 10 hours though (like I was), I would highly recommend choosing a different dress that provides more comfort.

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.

Felt like a Disney Princess!
Size worn: 8L
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
If you are attending a formal event (like a Marine Corps Ball) and want to feel like a Disney princess for the night, then this is your gown! This gown holds true to those who prefer a "simple yet elegant" look to their clothing. I am almost 5'8" at approx 125 lbs with size 32D boobs (yeah, I don't get it either) and I was afraid that the size 8L would be too long and/or too large. It was neither of those things. First, I wore 4" heeled pumps that were perfect because when I walked I looked as if I were floating. Second, every other review is correct in that you do not need a bra- the girls stayed put the entire night. Now for the not-so-fun parts: the cap sleeves sat right in my armpits so the moment the gown was on and zipped I was sweating. Second, this gown has LOTS of layers of tulle. If you are not used to so much tulle, there could be a lot of tripping or heels getting caught in one of them. The only time I had an issue with the tulle is when I would be dancing because I was all over the place. Therefore I highly suggest wearing heels that elevate the gown off the ground. Third, you definitely need a partner to zip you up. There are two layers of zippers, one of them a little more difficult to reach than the other, so find a buddy for assistance. All in all, this gown is gorgeous and certainly worth the purchase! Every girl at the ball complimented my dress or their husbands let me know that their wives liked it the morning after. If you ever get the opportunity grab this gown, it is a show stopper!

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.

I wore this as a bridesmaid's dress for my best friend's wedding, and I absolutely loved it!
Size worn: 8L
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
So, I ordered my dress a little last-minute, and would have ordered the 8 and the 10 as a backup, but they only had the 8L left to rent. So.. I risked it! I am 5'6" and had to wear heels for the ceremony, and the only issue was that it was slightly tight on the arms- I couldn't really raise my arms up past maybe 70 degrees. But the rest of the dress fit well and made me feel really good about myself! I felt like a princess.
.. Unfortunately, the previous person who rented it made my particular dress have a bad BO smell lingering on it. It was obviously laundered and clean, but I think some things are hard to get out of clothing. That, and the arms being tight, were the only two cons. Still absolutely loved it and would wear it 1000 times more!

Everyone called me a princess!
Size worn: 8L
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Formal Affair
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
Size worn: 4R

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.

Perfect alternative wedding dress!
Size worn: 12R
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Wedding
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.

I rented this dress for fun since it was my birthday!
Size worn: 10R
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Other
This dress is absolutely beautiful. I definitely felt like a princess running around, carrying tulle everywhere. This dress was quite snug, considering I had a pretty hearty lunch prior to this "spur of the moment" photo shoot with a friend. The length of the dress was perfect with 2.5 inch heels. The sleeves are pretty and whimsy, but didn't allow for much range of motion in crossing arms across my chest. The back of the dress was an odd fit for me, looked like I had wings. But other than, it's a stunning piece.

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.

Romantic
Size worn: 4P
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
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!
