I needed a dress for a March wedding so i wanted something with sleeves. I also didn't want it to look too old. I found this and the color is gorgeous and vibrant.  The length is sexy without being trashy.

I was worried about the length being too short but it ended up being ok but I'm only 5'1. It was a great color and a very pretty dress. My only complaint was that the arms were pretty tight. I wore the 6 because it was slightly longer but the 4 fit pretty much the same. 

Loved this dress. Got tons of compliments. Fit was perfect. Comfortable and flattering. Wore it to an outdoor Florida wedding.  Impressed with RTR and will be a routine customer!! 

Rented a 4 with 6 as a backup. Although the 4 fit well, it was a little tight Around the bust, so I wore the 6 to be more comfortable. I'm short, so the length of the dress was perfect. Felt great and confident all night in this dress. A great success!

I rented this for my daughter.. she is 11, normally wears  a 12-14

This dress was stunning!! I wore it for my boyfriend's sister's rehearsal dinner and from the moment I first put it on to the end of the night, I received compliments left and right! The dress was elegant and classy, could have easily worn for a date night or girl's night out as well. While it is on the shorter side, I never felt uncomfortable or that I was flashing anybody! The dress itself fit like a glove with one exception- the shoulders/upper arm sleeve were pretty tight. I do have a pretty broad back so I anticipated that but I think other RTR reviews mentioned this as well.

Overall, I would most definitely rent this dress again!!!!

I liked everything about this dress except it was a little bit bunchy in the stomach area. I think I would have liked it to be a bit more form fitting in the middle. Overall I loved it!

I'm pretty short so I love when I find a dress that makes my legs look longer than they are.  I rented this dress for an outdoor, summer wedding and I loved it. The dress is short, but it worked for someone my height! I received a ton of compliments and was actually able to move around in it. I had to rent a backup dress because the size 4 was returned damaged. I ended up wearing the backup size 2, so I can't say for sure if the dress runs true to size. Either way, I was happy with this one!

I wore this to a wedding in Downtown Nashville and it was perfect! The lace was beautiful and was so comfortable to dance in. The length was a little longer on me, but I was happy that it didn't ride up when I sat. 

This dress was amazing. I rented a handbag, earrings, and a bracelet set to go with it and it all worked together so well. I wore it for an afternoon/evening garden party fundraiser and got so many compliments! The dress was a perfect middle ground between dressy and casual. I wore it with cognac wedges to dress it down a bit. I ordered the 2 and the 4 because I haven't actually worn a dress with a numbered size in so long that I had no idea which to get. The 2 ended up fitting great--a little tight in the shoulders but not uncomfortable at all. The way it's made, you have to be VERY careful sitting down in this dress. For some reason it just rides up unless you move in exactly the right way. Otherwise, it's perfect and just as beautiful as it looks on the model!

This dress was beautiful! I loved the color and the fit. I had ordered a size up because of other reviews, but it fit really well! I got lots of compliments, wish I had a better photo of me in it. It was short, but not too short. I'm 5'6" so I'm not that tall, but the dress was great on me. Would highly recommend it!

The fit is true to size. I ordered the 0 and 2 because I read a few reviews that recommended sizing down. I normally wear a 2 but tried the zero on and it was waaay to short and slightly snug. I'm only 5'5 so for you taller girls just be aware. That said, I think this dress would be a really good dress for petite girls. 

I loved the overall fit of the dress, it had a little extra room in the mid section but still showed off my shape so I was pleased with that. The color is stunning and the lace is definitely high quality. I paired the dress with black heels and a black Kate spade clutch. I got tons of compliments on the dress and I was so sad to have to return it. I want this one to stay in my closet forever! 

I rented this dress for a friends spring wedding and it turned out to be a perfect selection! It was a great length on me, but I am 5'2" so I would be wary if you are any taller. The color was beautiful and even though it is a sheath dress the size zero was quite fitted. I would agree with other reviews that the arms are somewhat tight, so be aware of that - it may cause you to go one size up. I got many compliments on it and would definitely recommend this dress - especially if you are similar in size. Overall another great rental from RTR! 

I wore this to a friend's wedding and was worried it would be too informal, but with some fun jewelry, it was perfect. The color is really nice and I liked having a little sleeve as my arm workouts haven't been as on point as I would wish for!

I wore the 8, but probably could have used the 10. It fit fine, but the arms were a little tight and the remnants of my baby belly definitely weren't invisible (though the dress did a great job of not making my belly obvious either). The one thing I read and it's totally true, this dress is pretty short. I just had to be mindful of that on the dance floor!

Lots of compliments, and, more importantly, lots of comfort! Ordered both the 6 and the 8 and the 6 was a bit too short, so I went with the 8. the lace sleeves were a bit tight, but not too tight to keep me from dancing all night. I didn't realize how purple it was until I received the dress, but I ended up liking it all the more. Definitely a must rent for the warmer months!

I ordered a 6 and an 8 based on the other womens descriptions.  Both sizes fit, the 6 would have been more form fitting to my body and having had a baby 6 months ago I opted for the 8 to be more at ease.  The sleeves did start off a bit tighter but quickly stretched out.  The dress was wicked comfortable and I received a million compliments on it.  Color is amazing!! Loved it!

I got so many compliments! Perfect for a summer wedding. 

I loved this dress!  It was really comfortable, the color was great.  It was a tad on the short side, but the sleeves and high neckline kept it classy but you definitely have to be careful when sitting down.  Although the 4 fit better, I wore the 6 because the 4 was too short.  I loved the color, the lace, and the fit and I received so many compliments on this dress.  My only complaint was the lining was really wrinkled so it took some work to get it to sit right, but it wasn't too noticeable once it was on. Overall, great dress, I'd rent it again and recommend to anyone.

It fit great, was really comfortable and received a ton of compliments. It was short but I'm short and I liked the length.  I still have 20 lbs to lose. It was really flattering and shows off your legs nicely. 

Love the bright color, the lace and the fit. It was a big hit- i received several compliments that day! Also its the perfect length for a petite girl 

Perfect fit, amazing color, flattering and comfortable 

#datenight dress is gorgeous but a little short! I'm petite so this didn't affect me :) but I can see how the length may not be appropriate for certain occasions if you're 5'6" and above. 

I wore this for my brother's FORMAL rehearsal dinner, this was actually my back up dress that I never thought I'd wear and it turned out to be PERFECT! I ordered the 4 as some reviews mentioned how short it was and I'm glad I did however, the neckline was a little loose. A chunky necklace and fashion tape for my bra straps worked well. Lots of compliments and one of the bridesmaids actually wore the same dress in navy. Both were beautiful and different enough in color so most didn't even realize they were the same. The color looked bright and vibrant in pictures and I will definitely rent again! My first experience with RTR was a HUGE success! 

This was a beautiful dress.  The cut and style was amazing.  The color was perfect.  Fit was great (a little snug on my arms.)  A dream come true!

This dress was a little tight in the hips so I wore spanx with it. If you are hippy, I wouldn't recommend this dress. The dress gives in the arms and hips, but not much. That being said, the dress was perfect for the charity auction that my boyfriend and i went to. I wore it with black tights and received so many compliments! I didn't want to send it back! Plan on using RTR again soon!

I wore this dress for my bridal shower in November.  I loved the dress and got so many compliments!  I ordered the size 0 and 2 because I read that the dress ran large.  The dress fit wonderfully.. it is not a tight fit but it is short, so it is still a little sexy.  I'm only 5'4, so I would warn the taller girls that if the dress was short on me, it will definitely be short on you!  I didn't feel that it was inappropriate, but when I sat down, the dress went up pretty high and I was a little self-conscious.  Pairing it with dark tights might be a good option if you are nervous about the length.  Other than that... FABULOUS dress... I wish I could have kept it in my closet. :)

It fit true to size. A little shorter than I thought, but over all PERFECT. I ordered 2 and 4, and 2 fit better. Perfect for cocktail, wedding, party.

The color of this dress stands out so much and compliments all skin tones! It's a straight fit so I sized down. It was a little snug around the breast area but comfortable. I am usually a size 6 and wore the 4 since all the reviews said runs large. Tons of compliments on such a unique dress. It was on the shorter side since I chose to wear the 4 but the scoop neckline and sleeves balanced it out. paired it with nude heels and clutch.  So easy to put in UPS bag and ship it back. I will be renting again soon!

I am a larger busted girl...36D and a size 4 or 6 waist, so fitted dresses are always an issue for me because of the requirement for more up top than in the middle and bottom. I chose this dress because I knew if it was too loose in the middle, I could probably put a belt with it. The size 8 fit perfectly at the chest and it fit like a traditional shift the rest of the way down. I wish it was a bit more tailored through the waist, but I knew it wouldn't be when I ordered it. I ended up not wearing a belt, but you definitely could if you wanted to. I wore this to an outdoor, country wedding with my cowgirl boots and it was adorable. I got compliments on it all night!! It was also very comfortable and I had no issues with the sleeves. I dreaded returning it, for sure!! 

This was my first RTR rental.  I was extremely impressed with the entire process -- from start to finish -- and I will definitely be back!!!   

I was a little surprised that prior reviews said that the size runs small, because I really did not agree.  I am consistently either a 6 or an 8 (depending on brand), but the reviews made me feel like I should order a 4!  I am glad I did not.  I could have gone with either the 6 or the 8, but the 6 was a little shorter so I opted for the 8.  I am 5'10'' so this dress is definitely doable if you're tall.  Plenty of room in the shoulders, hips, bust and arms.  Fits like a classic shift dress.  

It's the perfect dress for a wedding in cooler weather.  I wore it to a rainy, outdoor wedding and it kept me warm-- and even looked cute with my Hunter wellies!  

I am 5'2" and was so happy to see that this dress ran short enough to fall mid-thigh. The color is a beautiful jewel-tone, not too bright. Love the raw lace edge along the bottom. I had about 4 options to wear to my rehearsal dinner, and my fiance loved this one the best. Perfect combination of sophisticated and sexy.

Rented this for a wedding and absolutely LOVED it.  Most of the other reviews said the dress ran really large - I ordered my normal size and a size down.  While I definitely wouldn't say it ran small, I think it fit pretty true to size.  Loved that it wasn't skin tight but still gave enough definition to make it figure flattering.  More of a purple/blue tone in person but the color is gorgeous - received compliments all night long!  Can't wait to find another excuse to rent this beauty again! 

The fit was true to size and the color was fantastic.  I have an athletic build, with wider shoulders and the dress was not tight at all.  Lots of compliments and a great dress for a wedding.

beautiful dress - I'm usually between a six and eight and definitely went with six, so I would recommend sizing down on the extra dress you get!

where do you get that necklace? it is really match with the dress =) you look gorgeous

This was my first RTR experience. It was great - I had a couple of silly mistakes that I made at checkout but they were resolved immediately by emailing the RTR staff. They were extremely quick getting back to me with any questions I had. 

As for the dress - the fabric quality was amazing. I'm the kind of girl who buys a dress and only wears it for one occasion. Heaven forbid you get caught wearing the same thing twice, right?? ;) I like to keep my look fresh and RTR definitely helps with that! I was a little worried that the 0 would be too big, I have a very small frame and sometimes Women's sizes are too big and tend to look frumpy on me. This fit perfectly. Not too tight, not too baggy and not too long! That's a plus for me.

My only criticism was that the ends of the dress and arms are starting to fray, but I know that is just from being worn. Obviously you are aware you are renting a dress that has been worn. 

Overall my first experience with RTR was exceptional. Will be renting again!

Loved my first RTR experience thanks to this dress. The whole process was so easy and the quality of this dress was amazing! The color really pops and the lace is beautiful and lightweight. Received tons of compliments and was comfy throughout the day. I wore the 2 and it was very comfortable but probably could have gone with a 0 which would have been a little more fitted. Too bad I got the 4 as a backup size. If you're nervous like me and want to wear this dress, get it in your normal size and then get a size down for your backup. Otherwise enjoy...I know I did!

Color is beautiful and the lace detail is gorgeous! It was very comfortable for dancing and moving around all night and the fit is flattering for all body types.

I loved this dress!  Rented it for my cousin's wedding and my mom said it was her favorite RTR I have ever worn.  The color is very vibrant and the lace overlay is fantastic.  The back is a little scooped, which I loved.  The fit was comfortable and flattering.  

Runs a bit small. Usually I'm a 2-4, but they only had 4-6 available which worked perfectly. I ended up wearing  the size 6 due to the 4 being a little tight in the bust and the 6 gave a little extra length. Overall great dress for a wedding, on the shorter side (be careful bending over). Loved the color and overall look and fit!

This was a plan "c" dress. This first dress I ordered was damaged and I customer service sent me 4 replacements right before I left to go out of town. The dresses got lost in the mail, so plan c was to overnight 4 dresses to where I was staying out of town! AMAZING. With the help of the stylists, she suggested this dress and I loved it! The event I attended was outside and the sleeves helped keep me warm! The dress may have been a tad too short, but overall it wasn't noticeable! Everyone loved the bring color and it was super comfortable to wear all night! (No digging, rubbing, sucking in, just comfortable!) I will rent again for sure!

It looked great with heels and boots but I ended up wearing boots! It was a little short though. I had to be REALLY careful! 

Didn't actually wear this dress to the event but will likely rent again. Fit was true to size although slightly shorter than anticipated.  

I'm short so I didn't think the dress would be too short on me but it did ride up quite a bit. Also the sleeves were a little tight but besides that it was a great dress and I received a lot of compliments on it! 

It fit pretty true to size, and was comfortable enough to be sitting, standing, ad running around. I got so many complements on it!

Very pretty in person! I ordered this for a wedding but ended up not wearing it because of how tight and restricting the arm area was. When I moved my arms the whole dress moved with them and I was afraid it might rip. The material doesn't stretch at all so when I moved my arms up the dress became even shorter than it already was. If you aren't too curvy this dress would probably be perfect! 

This dress was perfect for the outside wedding I attended. The lace was beautiful and I loved the color. The sleeves do run a little small but the rest of the dress runs true to size. It's not tight so you have some room to move around (and eat plenty of cake!). It's a little short, but I really enjoyed that bc it made it made it sexier since the neckline is pretty conservative. The lining of the dress was a little wrinkled at the bottom, but you couldn't tell with the lace overlay.

Wore this to a rehearsal dinner. It was a little short but I felt like that was balanced by how conservative it was in the neckline. Fit perfectly- the sleeves were not tight and the dress had just enough breathing room

It fit fairly well- was a little tight but to no fault of my own and I feel the next size up would have been too big.
Wore the dress to my boyfriends work related event and not only did I get so many compliments, but I was the best dressed :) One girl who I didn't know asked if she could borrow the dress - and of course I shared the RTR link! The color was lovely -a deep blue with hint of purple. Chose not to wear a necklace as it would take away from the beauty of the dress. 
I would give this dress a 10/10 and would definitely rent again! 


Rented for a late spring wedding. Great fit and comfortable the entire night. The dress was a great length on me but I am short  and I definitely had to be careful getting in and out of the shuttle between  the hotel & reception! Another very positive experience with RTR! 

I received both the 6 and the 8. The 6 fit like a glove but I decided to wear the 8, as the length was a bit more appropriate for the black tie optional wedding we attended (plus I wanted to be able to eat wedding cake)! I received lots of compliments on this dress and felt like a stone cold fox all night! My only complaint is that, due to the shift-style of the dress, I couldn't lift my arms above my head without the dress riding up a bit and bunching around the chest. However, I didn't mind because the pros TOTALLY outweighed that one con! 

I loved the color of this dress. I did not wear it because the arms were too tight. It was my backup dress and I considered wearing it, but I could not lift up my arms above shoulder height.   I do have large, muscular arms, so this was not surprising. 

I had to be a made of honor at the last minute for a friend, so glad I rented this dress. Only problem is that I felt every like it was too big on me and too short. I put on heels and I become 5' 8", so this dress became short, but the 4 was too big. I believe if I had a bigger bust the size 4 dress would not have been a problem. I was glad that did wear a dress that could blend in with wedding at the last minute. 

Loved this dress.  Long-ish sleeves were great for a winter wedding, but be warned - as others have posted, it is SHORT!  It made my legs look great, but there was certainly no lifting of my arms on the dance floor!   The color was beautiful - a very unique purple color.  Another great RTR experience!
