Fit true to size, on the short side but worked for me. I couldn't really bend over or lift my arms up - it was good for a formal dinner event, wouldn't really recommend for dancing. Overall, I really liked it!

This dress fit great - I wore it to a rehearsal dinner and there was plenty of room in case I over indulged! It was the perfect height for me since I am only 5'1 but I could see it being short on other. Only downside was that it was an August wedding and I was pretty hot since the material was kind of heavy. 

Rented for my cousin's bridal shower & family dinner in late March. Runs true to size but is short - perfect with tights! I wore during the day, but great sheen to the fabric - with the right necklace you could easily transition day to night.

I got the 0 & 2 as a backup, the 0 fit perfect but the bust was tight and it was short. I tried on the 2 but then it was just too shift looking, not cute. I wore the 0 and it was so comfortable, perfect for thanksgiving bc i could eat all i wanted and not have my food baby show. The only con was the shortness but it looked good when you stand normal but make sure you have someone to help you when you drop stuff bc if you bend over your whole butt will show. but i do wish i could have stolen this dress. sorry rtr.....

Very well made and great fabric/material made it feel very luxurious. Can be dressed up or down. I would say it is really really short so I would not have been comfortable wearing this without stockings. So to me this is more of a winter dress. I am 5"4. I think the short length is okay since the rest of the dress is not showy. I also think if you have no boobs at all this dress may look to boxy and if you have large boobs the chest area will be too tight. All in all I loved it but think it is more body specific than most dresses. Good luck!

I wore this dress for a rehearsal dinner! It photographs so well and was comfortable through the whole night. From the photos I opted for gold jewelry but could do silver too. The lining does sneak out at times though. Friends and family members commented on how great it fit and looked. Would rent again and would love to buy it!

I loved this dress...wore it out for my birthday. Got SO many compliments, everyone asked if I could keep it! The 6 wasn't available when I rented so I had to order a size down and a size up. If I had the 6 I would have worn it, I wore the 4 - still looked great but the material doesn't give much give so I had trouble lifting my arms (Fashion over comfort right? haha) It also was a bit short, but since I'm short it totally worked with tights and boots. I would def rent this again! 

Beautiful dress! Well made and feels expensive. Definitely has a weight to it so perfect for a cold fall night. Would consider renting again! 

I rented this dress for an alumni homecoming mixer in the fall and it was a beautiful, thicker material, high quality dress with a little shine to it.  I loved it and it photographed very well!  It fits like a typical shift style dress, but is definitely on the short side.  I would recommend ordering a size up for your back-up.  The size 6 fit, but I wore the size 8 because I was more comfortable with the length.  The size 6 was also a little tight across my chest.  You could definitely dress this style up or down, mine felt a little more casual pairing it with black tights and boots.

Dress runs short but looks great on a petite frame, especially with the conservative top half. Not too tight but had a nice fit. Would definitely rent again!

Alittle short when you sit down, but perfect otherwise.   

I wore this dress to my cousin's outdoor wedding reception. I was kind of nervous about the thickness of the fabric because down here in Texas, it stays in the 90's until about October. But, thankfully it was perfect and we got a little cold front this past weekend! The compliments started as soon as I walked in, and didn't end until I walked out the back to leave! I loved it!

LOVED this dress! I received tons of compliments on it all night. However, the dress was VERY short. I am fairly petite and on the shorter side so if it was short on me, I'm not sure how someone over 5'4" could handle it. 

Fabulous.  Fits just as you would want and very flattering.  Buuut, it is short-- and I'm 5'2.  I got the 2 and the 4 and would have worn the two-- but it was way, way too short.  Fabulous dress--room for dessert!

I loved this dress and it was perfect for the evening. The event was a beer and food tasting event that people dress up a bit for. I was on my feet all night, so the length wasn't an issue. But it is on the short side, so had I needed to sit, I would have had to be pretty careful. The fabric isn't heavy exactly, just thick, so maybe not the best choice for the dead of summer. But this dress was just so great and I loved wearing it. The print is fun, looks awesome with a bold necklace (I wore it with the tribal necklace from RTR) and a bright lip (I went with fuchsia/orchid). The shoulder and arms of the dress were a little tight, so I wouldn't recommend this for dancing. It skims the body nicely and leaves plenty of room in the torso area. In the picture it looks funny there, but in person it looks fab.  I'd totally rent this again.

This dress is great. I'm not sure how the taller girls can wear this though. I'm only 5 ft tall and it was the perfect length on me, but any shorter would have been far too short., The arms are a little snug, but nothing terrible. I wanted to keep this dress. It photographs great too. This dress is great for anyone with curves or a muscular build.

Fit great in all of the right places. It was the perfect length - not too short, not any longer than I would have wanted. I got compliments on it all night!

Loved this dress wore it out to dinner with friends on night and then two days later with booties walking around town. Very versatile dress! Recommend wearing with nude pumps!

Received the dress a day early. I wore it at a birthday party and got tons of compliments! However, it's a bit on the short side even for my petite frame and the black lining does show up sometimes. But that won't stop me from renting again. Their service is always great! 

I was really nervous to rent a dress that I've never tried on before. Especially not knowing if it will fit until the day you leave town! I have an athletic built with wide hips, thick thighs and a small waist- so a lot of things never fit me properly in the right spots. I almost rented a size 6 & 8, but I decided to go with the an 8 & 10. Good thing because the size 8 wouldn't even fit around my hips!!! The size 10 was way too big for my waist but fit my hips perfectly and it was a little too small in the sleeve area, a bit tight. If I lifted my arms the dress would show my underwear, Oy! The sleeves run realllly small and the dress is pretty short. But overall it was a pretty dress. I also rented that necklace with the dress which matched perfectly. 

I wore this dress to a wedding. This dress was very true to size. The 8 fit but was too tight in my bust so I wore the 10 and it fit great. I was a little worried about the length but I'm rather short so it wasn't a problem. The sleeves were a little restraining and the slip did show a little especially when sitting. Overall, I loved the dress and would rent again! 

I ordered this dress for my birthday dinner. I loved the colors and the shimmery fabric. I was worried it might be too thick for the hot Texas heat but it ended up being fine in the evening. I am 5'9'' and the dress is VERY short! The restaurant I chose had picnic tables which was interesting trying to get in. It is also fabric without stretch so I could not raise my hands otherwise the dress would lift up. Overall I was very happy with this dress but beware of how short it is. 

Loved the shift shape of this dress, and the thicker fabric. The dress is definitely short but it works with the overall shape. I wore it with black flat sandals -- heels felt like too much for such a short dress -- and it was perfect for a summer date. Would rent again!

Gorgeous fabric and cute fit/style but it is very short! I normally wear a size 2/4… I rented the 2 and 4 for back up. The 2 fit perfectly everywhere except it was inappropriately short (like barely covered my butt cheeks--no bending over or sitting down!) so I wore the 4 even though it was a big baggy in the stomach and hips. It was fine though and went with the shift style of the dress, but if you are on the taller side and want something fitted but not short i wouldn't recommend this dress. All in all, i got lots of compliments and it was a cute/comfy dress to wear for a dinner party!

This was a great dress for the wedding I went to that was semi formal! It was nice enough for that wedding environment but it was essentially a party dress which is what I wanted since I knew I would be dancing a lot and it was a "beach" wedding. My only concern was how short the dress became when I sat down. Being around aunts and uncles it was the best that some side butt showed ... But I was on my feet a lot so it worked out ok. 

I love shift style dresses because they look so chic and effortless! This dress was a little tight in the shoulders and arms so I went up a size, but other than that I loved it and got a lot of compliments!

As others have said, it is quite short. I would not recommend this dress for an event that requires dancing. I wore it to my brother's high school outdoor graduation and it was perfect. It is heavier that some other dresses, so if it is over 75 degrees, you might be uncomfortable. I would have preferred to wear the 0 because it fit me on top better, but the length was not appropriate. The sleeves are not forgiving either so if you have muscular arms, I would size up or avoid this dress. I belted the dress to make up for the extra room for going up a size. Perfect for my event but definitely wouldn't want to wear it all day! 

The shine to the striped fabric of this dress makes it an option to dress up or down. I wore it with black tights and booties to a fashion show, but it would be perfect for a something a little more formal too.

The 0 fit beautifully, and the dress shone under the lights all night long- it was a real knock-out! However, it was a little short on me because I am on the taller side; I couldn't raise my arms above my head for fear of flashing someone. But overall, a great dress!!

How short was this on you? I'm 5"5' as well

arms are a little tight-- you definitely can't raise the roof in this dress. goes great with a statement necklace and the design is very flattering.

I'm 5'9 and normally wear a 10/12. I went with the 12 because it was the only one sent, but also, this dress is short and I imagine that any size smaller would have made the dress even shorter. It wasn't obscene while standing, but I was lucky in that while I was sitting, I was at a table with a napkin in my lap! I loved this dress and got lots of compliments while wearing it, but it also photographs well. 

I'd say that if you're a girl with great legs (but even if you don't... I def don't), this is your dress!

Wore this dress to my friend's engagement party.  The dress is very cute and fits TTS; however, it was very hard to move in.  I am 5'7" and 120lbs and wore the size 2.  I wore flats and it was just a little short, but it was impossible to lift my arms up or bend down without the dress riding all the way up.  I also rented the 4, but the length wasn't much difference and it was just baggy in the top and torso area.  Recommend for people under 5'6".

This dress runs small and has no stretch! I needed a dress for date night with my husband while we were on vacation. Didn't have time to exchange it once I realized how snug it was, so I put on a pair of spanx and wore it anyways. Was sucking in all night! I did really like the pretty colors in it and it was a nice material. I would recommend wearing it if you can order a size up.. mine wasn't available. If you have curves like me, might be tighter on you. 

Cute dress and perfect for holiday party. Bit short, looked best with tights 

I acutally ordered this as a backup dress and it worked out. It is a little short and im only 5'5. I wore it in October with tights. It is comfortable and looked great, but I had to be careful raising my arms. I did get lots of compliments.

Wore this to the Our Runway event in NYC--great shape and ran pretty true to size, but it was a lot shorter than I thought. Im pretty petite in height, but this was even a bit short for my comfort level at dinner and in the cab! Ha.

Loved this dress, The fit was perfect. I wore the 4, there was no backup size available. The wedding I attended had daytime ceremony in the church and transitioned to the evening reception. This dress was church appropriate and still fun to party and dance the night away. I think in the reviews others noted it was short for their height. I know I am shorter than most but the dress was a perfect length for me. I have no complaints.  

This dress was so cute - fabric is shiny and looks expensive, and it can be dressed up for a party with heels or worn to work with tights and flats. The fit was true to size, but was tightest in the chest area - I have a B cup, but if I was a C or higher I would definitely size up! Love this, would definitely rent again!

I originally rented this for a wedding but ended up wearing for the rehearsal dinner instead. Dancing would have been really hard (scratch that, impossible) because there was zero give at all in the arms and chest area--I couldn't lift my arms past my shoulders. Other than the tightness up top, I really like this dress; pretty color and cute fit. Easy to dress up or down too--  wore it with tights and boots since it was snowing and still felt fancy.


Perfect dress for a Florida wedding in September that was held outdoors.  Received tons of compliments.

The fit was true to size and I think the length was pretty perfect for a shift dress, although I was not bending over much!! I'm 5'3 and it was great for me. 
You might have a problem if you are taller. 
It photographed beautifully and have SO many compliments!! I loved this dress!! My first RTR!! 
I'm hooked!!

I'm usually a 4, but I was able to squeeze my chest into a 2 for this look thanks to the conservative neck line and sleeves! I'm 5'3 and the dress wasn't too short, but I definitely was showing some leg. I dressed up my look with a designer necklace and got so many compliments. I was able to wear it to a work dinner/cocktail party and then out to the bar later that night! Totally loved it! 

Another amazing short sleeve shift dress through RTR! This one was comfortable and adorable, though definitely more green in person than what I thought. It is short, like most shift dresses are (and I'm only 5' 3" so beware), but this dress was EASY for a semi formal affair. Got many compliments, would wear again.

My body type does not look good in shift dresses but this was the only green dress that was available around the holidays. I wore it for our Christmas cards, I think next year I'll pick a A-line or flare dress. 

I really liked this dress. It was great to wear to dinner on vacation. It's very flattering for a shift, which is something that I don't always find to be the case, and I really liked the color/pattern of it. As pretty much all of the other reviews have stated, it's very short. However I expected this based on the other reviews and planned in advance to wear flats with it, so it wasn't a big deal for me. I definitely couldn't have bent over while wearing it though as my whole butt would have been visible. Additionally the arms are fairly constricting, but again I was expecting that. I do feel that the 2 might have looked a little better, but I also think that it would have been more restrictive in the arms and shorter, so the 4 worked just fine for me. I will say the one real complaint I had about the dress was that it smelled very strange, which was slightly off putting, but once I put perfume on, I didn't really notice it. Overall, I enjoyed wearing this dress. 

Such a cute dress. Material is heavy so it was perfect for a winter date night. Both the 4 and 6 fit fine. I ended up wearing the 4 as it nipped in at the waist a bit more. The top was a little tight on both dresses so no reaching across the table, but that wasn't really an issue. 

It was the perfect length for me since I'm 5'0. It fits like a shift so the chest could work for all sizes. Loved this dress! Would recommend for sure

Dress was shorter than expected, but still felt really great. 

Very short, had to have a jacket covering my legs to feel comfortable. Loved the color and the way it photographed.

I loved this dress!  I wore it for our non-profit gala.  As the event coordinator, I literally have no time to get ready right before the event.  This dress was perfect for that.  It didn't need any special care or accessories- I just threw it on, added some tights and black booties and was good to go.  
I thought it fit a little big though.  I actually would have fit better in a 0 because there was TONS of room in the front and hips.  It's also very short, as the other reviews said, but I'm short too so once I paired it with tights it worked just fine. 

I wore this to my new cousin-in-law's engagement party at a country club. It was a fairly casual event (like bbq and cocktails). I wore it with black pointy toed flats since it wasn't really a dressy event. I'm only 5'4  and it was pretty short on me, as in like, difficult to sit down in short! But it was super cute standing. Probably would be too short on taller ladies!!

I really liked this dress. It fit well, a little snug through the shoulders, and let's not forget to mention how SHORT it was. I ended up wearing tights with it because there was no way I could be seen out of the house wearing something that short. I still had to keep pulling it down with the tights on, especially when I sat. I got an 8 as the backup, and was hoping it would be a tad longer, but didn't wear that because it was baggy and not any longer. I would recommend this dress, I probably wouldn't rent again, but it was very pretty!

The dress was great! Like others said it doesn't have much "give" but it fit great! I ordered the 8 and got the free extra size 6 and went with the 6!  The color was so pretty! I got many compliments! I wore the dress with black tights and black booties. It was pretty short so I think the black tights helped with that.  I wore it to a church event and it was great! 

I rented this for my high school reunion. It was actually the second dress I was sent after the first one didn't work out, so I was a little nervous about it. The fit ended up being perfect, it was a little more fitted around the top and looser through the hips - I have pretty narrow hips and a 36G bra so this is standard for me. Like other reviewers I couldn't raise my arms above my head and I thought it was a little short, but nothing a pair of tights couldn't fix. I loved the fabric, the colors are really pretty and I love the subtle shine. I would definitely rent it again! 

Definitely a short dress. I'm 5'1 and it was still short. I wore flats but when I say down it was pretty short.  Tons of compliments and very good quality. Great for a party!
