Absolutely loved this dress

I ordered the 4 and 6 and the 6 fit great. The sleeves are awesome, the structure in the abdomen is comfortable and really makes the dress fit great. The skirt is draped nicely. I would absolutely rent this again.

Lady in Red

Many people complimented me on the dress. It was a great fit. The draping and slit, along with the sleeve detail, and bold color made this dress a winner!

Sexy and fashionable

Gorgeous dress! High quality fabric and it fit so nicely. The ruching lays beautifully and really works with this dress. The sleeves are so fun. Overall, I would definitely recommend this dress and I would rent it again myself.

Holiday Party

Loved this dress! Was so comfortable! Fits well where it should and forgiving where it helps! Received many compliments. Is a great, classic red color. Honestly didn't want to return it, would love to rent/wear again and again. Normally I am happy to return and get another dress, but this is a classic dress that feels good to wear comfort and confidence-wise!

This dress was more than I could have hoped for!

I am 5'5, 165 lbs, and a 38 C, definitely on the curvy side. I was a little worried when first renting this dress because all of the models are a lot skinnier than I am. I would say, I definitely was not disappointed and would buy this dress in a heart beat! If you are fuller in the chest region, you may run into your girls being squeezed but the dress overall does have some stretch to it. The arms are fitted down at the bottom and button, it was a little tight but I do have more muscular arms. Overall, I received so many compliments and it really made my night! The color is a beautiful red and I could see this dress being worn at any occasion from Semi formal - and up!

Fun and flirty

Rented for a winter wedding, and was surprised to find that the 4 fit without any issues at all given the dress' stretchy, forgiving fabric. While the fabric is thick and allows for tightness without sacrificing comfort, I wish it felt a touch higher quality. But the stylish cut of it compensated, particularly the buttons on the sleeves--so cute! Caution: the slit on the leg is muuuuuuch higher than it initially looks, and definitely warranted a few raised eyebrows from the bride's aunties.

This is one of my more favorite dresses from RTR. It hugs the body tight for a sexy fit and the sleeves add fun

Showstopper and very comfortable!

I'm 5'3" with shorter legs. The slit was doable for me without a slip, but I kept a close eye on it just in case. Has a dramatic effect when you walk, for usre! Dress also makes arms and stomach look thinner - much needed after a few carby-heavy vacation weeks for me. Was comfortable enough to eat a heavy dinner in, and not too warm or too hot - could wear in weather up to 75 degrees and be pretty comfortable. I wouldn't suggest wearing it in muggy heat, however. The dress was in fantastic condition but needed a quick steam before wearing. It will wrinkle again once it's on, but it's draped in such a way that it's not noticeable. While it shows a lot of the neck and chest, it's classy and modest on someone with a larger bra size. Strapless bra recommended. Just watch out for the slit! I was so sad to take this dress off and went to look up how much it would cost to buy - ouch, not in my budget. Very grateful to have been able to wear it for an evening!

Flirty

Fun, flirty dress. Very figure hugging. I loved the powerful shoulders. It wasn't a great fit for the type of event I was going to though so I didn't wear.

Slit in hem, puffy sleeves

I loved this dress ! I rented it and a black one to wear to a high school reunion. I ended up wearing the black one and I’m glad I did because this red dress is eye-catching and that’s not the reaction I was looking for at this particular event. It is very sexy and the red color really makes a statement.
