Amazing, comfortable, fits like a glove!   Look no further!

Pretty true to size. Loved he fit, felt great in it!

Wore this for a dinner out. It fit beautifully and is a great choice for petite women.

Wonderful fitting, high quality dress. I was 6 weeks postpartum so wanted something that would hide my tummy but accentuate other areas that pregnancy hadn't affected. Fit beautifully and I loved the off the shoulder look and huge bell sleeves! 

Dress was comfortable and true to size. Loved everything about it EXCEPT the zipper. There is no hook-and-eye closure, and it's a slippery zipper, so one slight bend and my entire back was exposed. Easily fixed with a couple of strategic safety pins at the top though. So I would recommend this dress, however, make sure you have safety pins and a friend on hand!

I got so many compliments on this dress! I would rent it again in a heartbeat. The stretchy fabrics is very flattering. If you don't want it to fit very snugly, order your next size up. This dress will show your belly if you have one and it's the snug size. But if you want to show it off, it's true to size. Will rent again!

The dress fits like a glove, but the fabric is stretchy and thicker so it makes everything look great. It is a little short, so I kept having to pull it down but I was happy overall.  

Rented for cousins birthday party. Very sleek and form fitting! Love it so much, almost bought it! Great rental. 

I loved this dress. The neckline was super flattering and the fabric is thick and forgiving :). I was a little worried the sleeves might get in the way of dinner but they were completely not an issue. It’s a little short for me - so I was glad I wasn’t walking around a lot or I’d have to keep pulling it down. Would definitely wear again! 

I ordered a 12 and 14 however the 14 was unavailable so I wore the size 12. I'm 5'10" and the length was fine but the dress did keep riding up.  Also I was kind of pulling up the shoulders and you'll have to wear either a strapless dress or a bra with adjustable straps (to be wide for the dress). For all of that though, this dress looked awesome! The sleeves were a great detail and although the dress was tighter than I usually wear, the sleeves actually kind of hid my stomach.

I am 5'2 and 145lbs. The 6 was too short on me and pretty snug. The 8 fit really well. Still a bit short but it was good for the party I attended. This was my first rental and was really pleased! 

This dress is very well made and fit perfectly. I am 5' and 102 lbs. I was afraid the sleeves would be too long or get in way but they fit perfectly.   Fabric is a thicker stretchier material and was fitted in all the right places. Classic and comfortable! I want this in my closet!

Love the fit and look for a formal event!

This dress is so flattering and fit like a glove! Beautiful neckline and sleeves. Thick material that is structured beautifully.

The dress was a PERFECT fit ! The stretch was perfect and I felt great in it. It ran a little snug around my arms so I wore it mostly “off the shoulder” for the night and still felt great. It shows off all the right curves and I was able to dance in without have to pull the dress down. This is a great dress and I would highly recommend. 

The dress was a lifesaver.  The original dress I ordered had a broken zipper and in a panic, I called RTR for help.  I was able to get this beautiful dress overnighted to me.  I had it as a favorite, but had not yet had an occasion to try it.  It is beautiful on and  fit true to size.  I would definitely rent this one again.  It was super comfortable all night. It is a bit on the short side, but not too short. I'm 5' 5" and it fit nicely.  If I were a few inches taller, it might be a little too short!  

I want this dress! It fit like a glove, the fabric was thick but not hot, and it was so flattering. I went with the 14 because the zipper wouldn't stay up on the 12-although they fit about the same. I am a 38 DDD and this was supportive enough to only need a sticky bra. Loved this ans will rent again! 

I've rented a lot of dresses and this is one of my favorites. I received many complements and even from random people in the hotel elevators.   I have a large bottom and I felt like this material helped conceal that. Stretchy, thick material. Probably not the best for a hot summer day but I got lucky with a cool June night. Like some others said the back does not stay zippered. I had a friend use a safety pin at the top to keep it shut and worked great all night. I am 5'5" and was comfortable with the length. Would absolutely rent the dress again. Sleeves didn't bother me at all, was just careful during dinner. 

Loved the material. Super comfortable. Perfect black dress!  

I am usually an 8 sometimes 6 ummmmm I definitely needed a 10 or 12 but it was not available for overnighting so SQUEEZED into the 8! Size up!!

My body is very pear shaped.  The dress did an amazing job of evening it out.  It's SO comfy and stretchy.  This dress made my night.

Great dress for semi formal work event. Runs slightly tight across mid section. Spanx took care of that! Good for busty women. Great stretch and quality fabric 

This dress was perfect!  Simple, elegant, and sexy!  The material is very thick and supportive.  The neckline on this dress is gorgeous.  I wore the 8 because it seemed a bit longer.  Dress is pretty short especially if you have long legs.  I received several compliments.  Best of all, it was actually very comfortable.

Loved, loved, loved this dress! Super flattering, very comfortable. I had compliments on it all night. I wore it for my law school graduation party. The size is a true fit and it was a material that stretched in the right places and was sexy but didn't give away too much. It was a bit short in the skirt but not to the point where I was conscious of it, if you don't mind showing a little leg, it's great! I would rent it again for sure!

This dress was so soft and stretchy. The way the fabric falls is very pleasing and hugs the curves in all the right places. Be prepared it's short but it felt fine for a company work holiday party because of the long sleeves.

I tried on the 4 and the 6.  The 4 seemed too short, felt more comfortable in the 6 length.  Beautiful dress.  

I attended a company event celebratjng clients at the KBB BEST BUY AWARDS. The dress was fun and appropriate for a work gala. 

Wore the 16 and felt sexy yet classy all night. Perfect for my 21st! Would definitely rent again. 

I wish I could keep this dress. The fit was incredible and the dress easily made me look 15 pounds thinner. I danced all night and liked the pictures taken from the dance floor to the deck to the dinner table. Great from every angle. 

The dress fit perfectly.  I was worried that it would be too snug or short, but that wasn't the case.  It dressed up easily, and I was extremely comfortable.  It was outside the box for me.  Glad I gave it a try!  Loved it!!

This dress is super flattering and I love the sleeves- they make it interesting without being too extra. Highly recommend 

This dress made me feel so feminine and sexy. The material is thicker so when it hugs your body it's a flattering feature. Got so many compliments. I wore it on a first date so I dressed it up with pop of colors: orange heels and turquoise necklace.  Will rent again. 

Very tight and a bit short for a wedding. 

I wore this for a formal holiday party. It was perfect for winter with the long sleeves and showed just the right amount of leg to make it sexy but still appropriate.  The material is smooth with a little stretch, comfortable to wear all night. I'm between size 6 and 8 depending but i went with the 8 here as the 6 was snug in the top.  I wore large statement earrings and that's all I needed. I was so happy with the fit and style and received lots of compliments!

The dress was very elegant  !! great fabric that holds everything together very slimming. I wore it in size 6 Great for a night out at the Casino or a Party. 

Received many compliments! Fabric is thick and hold in all the right places.

I felt so good in this dress! Wish I could own it. It was almost too short, but it fit really well- true to size. The sleeves and neckline make the dress stand out. Nice sturdy fabric, but not too heavy. Only downside was the zipper in the back- it didn't lie flat.. I guess it was buckling. It was that way on the hanger too, so it wasn't a size issue. Will rent again!

The material was awesome, very form fitting which was nice. The off the shoulder actually didn't annoy me ( which it usually does). I'm 5'7" 5'8" ish and weigh about 155lbs and it fit me great! It was a little on the short side so if you're not comfortable with that I would maybe get something else. For me it was the perfect "formal" cocktail dress and I will definitely be using rtr again! And probably for every occasion I need a dress. It was super convenient and the two dresses I got were both beautiful and in perfect condition! 

I wore this dress for my anniversary; to a show and then to dinner. It was early March in Houston, so I enjoyed having the longer sleeves for warmth. The dress is fitted, not very much give, and fits true to size. The dress fits off the shoulder, so I wore a black strapless bra. I loved the zipper in the back. The bell sleeves are totally on trend and add a nice interest to this LBD. I wore this dress with some chunkier black heels and a dangly art deco style earrings. 

 Comfortable, soft, thick  material with a nice stretch.  The length was perfect as I'm only 5 feet tall!  The sleeves make the dress unique.  Lots of compliments!  I didn't give it a rating of a 5 as  the zipper didn't lock into place so I had to put a safety pin to ensure it stayed secure all evening (which it did)!  

Loved the fit. Super fun black dress. Kept unzipping so had to really pin it. Very challenging to wear. 

This dress was super cute! A touch on the short side but I like my legs so I was ok with that. The zipper creeped down several times during the night but I had my husband on zipper duty. One time it came down to right above my bra.. yikes! It really needed a clasp at the top of the zipper. 

I felt great in this dress though and I was able to wear a regular bra with the straps tucked down my arms just a little; score!

This was jsut right for Christmas Eve - not too flashy, but still fun and flirty because of the sleeves and the fitted body.

The material is thick but stretchy. I didn't find myself too hot. The dress was shorter than I expected but still looked great. The only issue I had was that the zipper would come unzipped if I reached forward or bent over, so I had to pin it.

I ordered the 6 & 8. I would have loved to wear the 6 but it showed up with a broken zipper so I was unable to wear it. Lucky for me I could get away with the 8, it wasn't too loose, just a little loose around my waist. Aside from the malfunction on the 6 this dress was amazing! It was extremely comfortable and very easy to dance in. I was able to dance for hours without having to worry about it riding up or being uncomfortable. I'd highly recommend this dress to any one that is attending a wedding in the cooler months. (One side note is that even though the sleeves give a fun touch to the dress they can be a little annoying - especially when trying to eat dinner, you have to be very careful when going to reach for something because they are large.) (For reference I am 135 Lbs and 5' tall)

Fit perfectly, just had an issue with zipper falling down. Had to pin it at the top.

This dress was so comfortable and cute! I always order a size up for dresses from my pant size and I still ended up wearing the larger back up size. It was definitely a little tight, but I could have gotten away with it, with the proper spanx. The length was what made me got up a size. It is was very short! I’m 5’5 and only wore small wedge booties and I’m very happy I went with the bigger size for length. I got compliments on this dress all night. It was perfect for a winter gala. 

I wore this dress for college grad photos and they turned out great! It fit perfectly and the material was stretchy and comfortable. The sleeves were so much fun and added a modern touch to a timeless little black dress.

The only issue I had was that the zipper started coming undone when I moved my arms too much (maybe just because the dress has been used a significant amount). I had to use a safety pin to keep it secure while taking photos. 

Fit runs true to size. I would have worn a 10, but it wasn't available so I got a 12. It fit perfectly. Zipper was a little slippery, but once I got the top hooked I had no problems. Sleeves were a fun touch and I loved the fit. So many compliments! Watch out for the length though. I had to pull the dress down quite a bit, but I did have legs for days. Would love to rent again! 

I loved this dress! I felt very sexy, but I still felt comfortable wearing it being a plus sized woman. My only complaint was that it was slightly short for my 5' 9 height, but it worked with black tights.

I rented this for a birthday evening out at a very nice restaurant and loved the dress. It is shorter than I had hoped but thankfully we were sitting down most the time. Also the zipper didn't have any sort of lock on it so it wanted to come unzipped! Luckily my husband was able to secure it with a safety pin. Awesome dress though. 

The fit was perfect and I received many compliments! 
One issue with the dress... the zipper literally will not stay up without pins!! 

This dress felt great!  Lots of complements and the sleeves were the high light.  I didnt need to wear a bra and it felt snug and comfy!  

Beware this is a short dress and I'm 5'6".  I had on black spanks so I didnt feel too modest.  The zipper was the problem...it fell down all night!  I had to use several safety pins.  

This dress ran true to size, but was pretty short. I'm 5'5", and was glad to be wearing tights.  The sleeves were a trendy detail, and they were fine for a cocktail party, but might be a little annoying for dinner.  Neckline was super flattering.
