True to size! You feel great in it. I wore it to my brother’s wedding. 

Ahh reformation. Not thankful for the sizing ambiguity with literally every piece of clothing. At least try to make it consistent across your brand, but I digress. Dress is cute but wish I sized up to a 6R. Normally I'm a 2 but I have a bigger bust so it wouldn't zip up all the way. 

Wore this to a late fall wedding and felt great. Color is a rich but cold red, perfect for the season. Was easy enough to dance in but the elastics in the sleeves gave me some rope burn by the end of the night. Ran a little tight as all Ref does, but still TTS. 

I love this dress and its beautifully made. However, I felt it ran much smaller than expected and clung to show everything. I would definitely size up if I rented again. But, the dress is beautiful and a gorgeous color! 

I absolutely LOVED this dress! I have a small waist, and it definitely flattered this part of my body. My hips, however are a bit wider, but the hip area was not too tight at all!

The busy area was a bit snug - I wasn't able to wear a bra with the dress, but that didn't bother me. It did show a bit of the outline of my thong underwear on the front, so maybe go commando!? I felt amazing in the dress all night and got many compliments on it. May be renting again!

This dress was too tight and sexy to wear at my friends' intimate wedding. Didn't wear but it was hot! 

I rented this for a November wedding and it was perfect for going from the afternoon church service to the reception during the evening/night. I got compliments all night. Definitely runs small, even if you know your size in Reformation—I usually wear a 0 in this brand but I couldn't get it zipped around my chest. The red is gorgeous and the neckline is beautiful. I felt like the flamenco emoji all night 💃🏽

Absolutely loved this dress! Usually wear a 0/2 or XS/S, but needed to size up in this (as all other reviewers advised!) With sizing up, it was very comfortable. My only complaint was that I had to be careful w the front sliding down. I wore a sticky bra w this dress. In a few pictures, the sticky bra was showing a little bit. But otherwise got tons of compliments and felt very appropriate for a Mexico wedding! 

Loved this dress! It was a bit tight, i wish I would have gotten the 4R. It was tight in the rib cage on me. But I was able to fit in the 2. Beautiful color and flattering. I got multiple compliments on it! Loved it!

Wore this to the rehearsal dinner of a fancy wedding I attended. I felt sexy, but did worry about making sure my boobs weren't coming out of the top too much. The color is beautiful and vibrant. The fabric is comfortable and easy to wear. IA showstopper of a dress, it draws a lot of attention! Definitely wear shape-wear if you are a self-conscious about your stomach area - I wore Naomi & Nicole strapless shape wear and it helped me feel more comfortable in how the fabric fit. All around really enjoyed wearing this dress nonetheless.

I'm usually a 4 and the 6 barely fit! Would definitely go a size up for your usual size and get a size bigger than that as backup size. I didn't want to send this dress back!

It definitely runs snug, so size up. You won’t regret it. This dress is magical and would look stunning on anyone. 

This dress was perfect for the black tie wedding I went to. Loved this dress-- but didn't have the right size. I picked this last minute and could only get a 4 and an 8. I am usually a 2 or 4 and knew folks said this ran small. I really needed an 6 but was hopeful the 8 or 4 would work. I ended up wearing the 8 as the 4 was uncomfortably tight. A 6 would have worked perfect for me. I would rent again but only at the right size. I

I love, loved this dress and go so many compliments. I’m usually at 8, but after reviews, I sized up (and wore the 12, my curvy friends). I actually added my wedding belt to accentuate my waist. I am renting the same dress in another color for my HS reunion soon! It was really wrinkled when it arrived,  but we thankful have a steamer. I highly recommend! 

Fit was comfortable but tight, light and not too hot. Could use sleeves off the shoulder or on the shoulder. Made me feel elegant but not too fancy of a dress. Midi length was perfect for optional black tie wedding. Could sit and dance in dress all night! 

LOVED this option for a June wedding. Beware that it stretches as the night goes on. What started out as a good fit became a bit too loose. Use garment tape to anticipate the stretch. 

It also wrinkles easily, so don't rent for a far away wedding where you'll be in the car if wrinkles bug you! 

Fits tighter than other reformation dresses that I've rented but it is gorgeous, lovely color.
Lined and flattering on curves. It did need to seriously steam it when it arrived, the fabric is prone to wrinkles, but it was easy/quick to steam them out. 

Guys I was OBSESSED with this rental. Received so many compliments, the dress was comfy, and I think it was the most beautiful I’ve ever felt. I usually teeter between a 0-2 depending on the brand, but a backup size wasn’t available for the date so I took a risk, and it fit fine! Little FYI though, this dress will show all lumps, bumps, and lines so you may want to wear spanx. I didn’t and was fine, but had to a wear super thin seamless thong to avoid serious VPL. HIGHLY RECOMMEND this dress, need it in my wardrobe. 

I ordered a size 2 and a size 4 depending on the brand I'm usually between those two sizes.  The size 4 definitely fit way better so if you are between two sizes I would size up.  I got a ton of compliments!   Really fun/flattering dress!

Loved this dress! I felt confident and cute all day/evening - the dress shows off curves, but in a flattering way (if you have the right size). Big fan of the neckline and sleeves, and love Reformation as a brand. The dress felt expensive, and I was able to dance in it all night! I took off one star primarily because of the sizing issues: as other reviewers mentioned, it does run really small. I wear a 2 in Reformation (and other dresses) normally, but had to size up to the 4 (though the 2 fit, it was too skin-tight for a wedding and the bust was significantly smaller than the 4). Weirdly, the 4 was about 2-3 inches longer than the 2, but the long length ended up looking okay still (I would've preferred the more midi length rather than full; so weird that there was such a big length jump between 1 size). I also had to keep pulling the bust up if my arms were down. Sizing just seemed inconsistent, but it could've just been the size 2 and 4 that I received. Despite that though, I would definitely rent again! I got so many compliments both at the wedding and when I posted pictures after - loved wearing it!

I'm either a 4 or 6 in dresses, and I'm really glad I ordered the 6R backup size. However, the 4R would have fit my chest a bit better. I found myself pulling it up often throughout the night. Still, it was fun to wear and dance in, and I received plenty of compliments to make my first RTR experience worthwhile.

The fit is definitely tight, as other reviews suggest. If possible, size up one! I could have used the size 4, but with some Spanx I made the size 2 work. Received a ton of compliments on this dress. It was such a fun style!

I'm usually a size 0 or 2 but based on other reviews decided to rent a 2 and 4. The size 2 fit me perfectly! It was tight and fitted but still allowed room to sit and dance at a wedding. I have a small chest so I had to wear it with the sleeves up but it was still comfortable that way. 

Definitely long if you’re on the shorter side! But comfy and got tons of compliments.

As many of the other reviews mentioned, the dress runs small. I'm usually an 8, and the 10 was TIGHT.  I wish I would have done a 10, with my backup size being the 12 (especially after gaining a few extra pounds on vacation). Also be aware that the zipper gets stuck. That being said, all of that doesn't take away from the beauty of this dress. It hugged my curves wonderfully.  It's a crepe material so it was light enough for summer pictures outside and was comfortable over an evening of moving around a lot. You could definitely dress it up or down.  All in all, I loved it and the color really popped in photos! 

Fit like a dream and hugged in all the right spots without being suffocating in any way. I was able to comfortably sit, eat a bunch of good food, and seriously dance the night away without feeling restricted. Like others said: this dress does run small. I am normally a size 4 in most brands, including Reformation, but a 6 fit perfectly in this dress. An 8 would have worked too but was a bit too flowy and loose ok the top for me. Shapewear definitely helped smooth the tummy as the fabric is not too forgiving in that area. Overall I loved this dress!!

Dress was beautiful! Runs VERY small! So order a full size larger or two to be safe! 

The color is beautiful! Fit is snug through stomach and hips, but falls just right, recommend spanx to smooth everything because light fabric. It has a beautiful flow. Good coverage for busty people, if comfortable with cleavage. 

I am either a 0 or 2, and went with the 2.  It breathes really nicely for the hot, outdoor wedding I wore it to. However, I could see how people have to go up, especially with a bigger chest.  I'm 5'2" and it was the perfect length! 

Loved this dress. Reformation sizes do run smaller than most, I'm usually in between a 0 and 2 and I ordered a 4R which fit perfectly. Super comfy and flattering dress. Sleeves stayed in place, absolutely no adjusting necessary. Would definitely recommend 

This dress was beautiful. I loved the color and the fabric. I only wish RTR carried the petite version of this dress since it's meant to be a midi dress and at 5'2 that wasn't the case for me. However for the setting and occasion the length still worked and I got many compliments. 

I am rather small chested so the dress slipped a little and I had extra room in the waist. So if you are curvy I would recommend trying it on in store!

I'm normally a 4/6 in dresses and based on the prior reviews ordered both a 6 and an 8. Ended up going with the 8 as it runs pretty tight across the chest. Size up! 

I got lots of compliments in this dress. I read the previous reviews sized up. It's narrow in the waist and a little form fitting in the wait area too but it fit my hourglass body well. It's perfect for a summer wedding ! 

This dress is amazing. If I thought I had more occasions to wear blazing red cocktail attire, I'd buy it immediately. It's light but sturdy fabric, and stays up very well despite being an off the shoulder dress. I'm 5'10, 140 pounds, with a small waist and semi curvy hips for a tall woman, and it fit perfectly except for running small. Order 1 size up from your regular dress size. I received compliments all night, including phone calls from people who just saw pictures of the wedding. Definitely rent it!

Good fit, colorful, bright, lots of compliments, comfortable, easy to dance in, liked it overall!

This dress RUNS SO SMALL. I'm so glad that I read reviews before ordering. I'm normally a 4/6, but ended up comfortably wearing the 8R in this one. If you have a bigger bust I'd actually recommend going even bigger. It was too small to wear a bra with (as you can see, haha) but that didn't matter much to me. The color was stunning, and I got a lot of compliments! Felt like the dancing emoji.

This is super flattering and a beautiful color and fit! It runs a little small in the hips if you are more curvy I would size up. 

The dress does run small in the waist area so I would size up. However if you do choose to size up, note that the dress will then be a more of a maxi dress than a midi dress. Regardless, perfect dress for a wedding you want to look elegant at but also be comfortable at while dancing.
