Rented the sz 4 and 6 as pre-pregnancy I wear  a size 0. The 6 fit around my 27 week belly with extra room in the hips. The fabric is stretchy and forgiving so perfect for a growing belly. I was not able to wear a bra because of the cut of the top, but the thick material of the dress held everything in place. It worked out great!

I used this as a bridesmaids dress. I needed a dark navy blue, long dress. It was my backup but it fit PERFECTLY! Everyone asked me if I had it custom fitted! I'm about 5'6 and I wore 3" wedges and it just barely touched the ground. It fit beautifully but I thought it was a little loose.. would have liked to try the 0 but it was very comfortable for hours in July!

Dress was very comfortable. Good for dancing. At 5'5" with heels, the petite length touched the floor. 

I got this as an option for a wedding I was attending. I got this as a back since it's pretty simple/safe. 

The fit was great and it was super comfortable to wear, but it's a little too plain for me. 

Wonderfully cut design. I do wish it were longer (a longer option was unavailable), I'm 5'9" and felt like it was just a tad too short.

It was snug but loosened up over the evening so was still comfortable. I'm 6'1 so the Long was perfect. Even fit in the chest area which I was concerned about since I'm DDD

This dress ended up being a great option for the Mayor's Ball. (Size runs a little small)

Ideal rental as I rarely need a long gown. Structured and flattering. I'm a couple pounds heavier than I'd like to be so spanx came in handy. 

This dress is super flattering, especially for those of us with some curves! I am size 14 and the dress fit like a glove, yet was stretchy and so comfortable the entire night. I wore spanx underneath which I suggest to help smooth out the look. I am at a place where I’m a bigger size than I’ve ever been, so I was worried about this event- but this dress made the entire night a dream. I got SO many compliments! 

I wore this as the maid of honor. I ended up wearing with flats and I am 5'4". It just touched the ground. It looked good with heels too but I was walking on grass. I wore spanx for a smooth line and went braless. There is a bit of cleavage but I felt comfortable. Many compliments and it was so comfortable. 

This dress is very classy with a nice silhouette, yet stretchy enough that I was comfortable all night walking, sitting, and dancing. I ordered a 4R but a 4L was sent by mistake and was way too long, so I tried the backup 6R and it fit fine.  I'm 5'4" and wore 3" heels, and the difference between regular and long was huge - I couldn't walk without tripping in the long, and the regular hovered nicely at floor length.  Cleavage is not usually my thing but it didn't bother me in this dress and I never felt in danger of falling out of it.  It's a lovely dress but quite simple so I wore some sparkly jewelry to bring it up a notch.  Overall I recommend and would rent again.

I rented this for a black tie reception and dinner. At 31 weeks pregnant, I did not have many options and was so excited about how well this worked. The dress looks plain on the hanger but is gorgeous when you get it on. Very comfortable due to stretchy, forgiving material, and soooo elegant. I'm 5.6 and rented the long to be able to wear high heels with it. Regular was too short. Another RTR for the win!

This dress has the perfect amount of stretch and was so comfortable. It fit me perfectly and gave me curves! Only con was that I had to safety pin my bra straps to the dress so they wouldn't show in the neckline. 

This dress was great for my company holiday party. It was nice to not have a black dress, but it didn't stand out too much being navy in color. I used some double sided tape to keep my regular bra straps from popping out as the neckline is slightly wider than a regular bra, but not by too much. 

This dress fit like a glove and I felt so classy, even with a deeper cleavage than I'm used to. I have a bit of a lower tummy pooch but I threw on a body shaper and it was perfect. I'm 5'9" and in 3" heels, this dress was still long. 

Amazing dress! But too low cut for my chest. 
I would absolutely get it again!!! I'm a 5'8 and this one was a LITTLE too short. But did get LOTS of comments 

I rented this dress for my husband's work awards gala. I am 21 weeks (5 mos 1 week) pregnant (with my 2nd). This time around I'm showing much sooner than with my 1st. I read all the reviews and decided to order 2 larger sizes. I ended up wearing a 12R - I'm so glad I ordered up because the fabric isn't too forgiving. The dress is very flattering but the bust line is a little lower than I'm comfortable with (also my chest is significantly bigger being pregnant so it is what it is). I think if I had been able to wear the 10R or even an 8R, the neckline would've been fine (also not with an inflated chest). I received a lot of compliments and was overall comfortable in this dress therefore pleased and truth be told relieved it fit! 

This gown was definitely a favorite of mine, even though I was skeptical at first. I've had two babies so I was a little nervous about the dress not hiding my less desirable areas :) but it was stunning on and I loved they way it looked. I also loved the details of the sleeves! It was a little long for me even with four inch heels, so I would have had to lift it up to walk, but still one of my favorites for sure! This dress does not disappoint!

I reviewed other's comments and noted it ran small, so I rented a 6R and an 8P as backup. I am generally between a 6 and 8 at stores (depends on the dress). At 5’2, however, dresses are almost always too long and I have to get them hemmed (petite clothes is sometimes too tight or fits awkward, so sizing can get tricky for me) so I was worried about the fit and length. The garment bag with two dresses arrived as scheduled. I was not able to zip up the 6R completely and at it was way too long for me. The 8P fit perfectly both in size and length and I wore it with 2-inch black heels. The dress was very flattering, a very nice thick material and comfortable (form fitting but stretchy enough to give me some room for steak dinner). I do not have an hourglass shape but this dress gave me curves in all the right places so I felt really pretty in it and my husband could not stop raving about how much he loved it and how great I looked in it. I went with a combination of pearls and bling for accessories and a black wrap. Although the dress is blue it is a very, very dark blue and can probably pass for black. I would definitely recommend this dress. This was my first time doing RTR and I'm certain that I will do it again.

It runs small, but it has good proportions otherwise. My 36 H cup chest fit (though it definitely shows cleavage - not a super deep plunge, but wide). It's snug all the way to just below the hips, but it looked so good even with my recent 60lb weight gain I felt confident in it. Wore it to a formal wedding and it was perfect for me - not too flashy, just very classy.

I wore this for my fiancé’s military Christmas ball. It’s a very pretty gown. Unfortunately, it was a bit of a let down for me. It runs small so I had to wear the back up size. I couldn’t wear a bra with it because you would see the straps. If you are curvy like me it makes your self conscious areas more visible. Although I received many compliments, I didn’t feel like I knocked it out of the park with this gown.

This was my backup dress and I’m so glad it was!  The dress hugged my curves but the dark color minimized faults.  I’m pretty big in the chest so had to go with a demi bra, and it worked great.  Shoulders didn’t slip around and show the straps.  Also showed off my bust quite a bit but multiple friends told me it wasn’t too much.  (I asked a lot because I felt a little uncomfortable, so might be something to keep in mind if you’re more conservative.). The material was very comfortable.  I wore 3 inch heels and it was still pretty long, resting about an inch onto the floor.  I think I could have gone with Regular with lower heels and been fine.

Dress was super comfortable and flattering. Perfect length for me at 5'3 with heels. It's very simple, so you'll need some jewelry to give it some extra jazz. Hugged my curves the right way! 

I find it extremely difficult to find dresses that really compliment my style at 55 years old. This dress knocked it out of the park. The cut is really quite simple. It has just the right amount of sexy with a nice neckline and a shape hugging line. I did use spanx and a strapless bra to "hold things together". The fit is true to size, and the material has good substance to it and is comfortable. Since I am 5'3 I did have a problem with the dress being a tad long. 

I felt sexy and glamorous in this dress. I wore spanx but not entirely needed as the material is thick and all looked smooth. Lots of compliments on this one.

The dress fit amazing! I was nervous because I'm pregnant but being able to get 2 sizes really helped. I got so many compliments on the dress. I can't wait to rent another one. 

I wore this dress to a formal wedding. The fabric was beautiful, slightly stretchy and relatively thick. I couldn't wear a regular bra, like some reviewers did, since the straps showed. So I was able to just wear silicon nipple covers, and the dress was structured enough to support me. It is very fitted, and I couldn't wear my spanks because it created a noticeable line where the spanks ended around my belly. I would recommend getting the spanks that go up really high to avoid this.  Overall I really liked the dress and felt very comfortable wearing it. I would rent it again!

This dress was perfect! Simple,elegant, with a gorgeous neckline. I am 4 months postpartum so I wanted something forgiving in the waist. The fabric is sturdy and lined. I loved the cap sleeve and the neckline was low enough I could pump during the event. Only cons was it was a little big through the shoulders. I probably would have sizes down one. 

I loved this dress and received a lot of compliments. There aren't usually a lot of options for floor length gowns for us shorties.  This was probably about an inch too long even with my 4" heels but I was able to manage. The neckline is what makes this dress.  It is a bit daring. I was surprised when I read other reviews that they were able to wear bras. I did not own one that could have stayed hidden.  It definitely helped keep my posture in check!  

This dress looks much better on than it does on the hanger. It's dark navy blue, not black.  I didn't choose this dress, it wasn't even my just in case choice, the RTR stylist chose it for me when my order didn't come back in time. I never would have chosen it from the picture, but I felt classic and elegant in it, it was perfectly appropriate for the event. I thought it was really tight, but it's pretty stretchy, so it was comfortable. I'd say it runs small, but it gave me curves I don't really have! It was long, but a little tape in the front worked fine.

This dress was beautiful in color and fit.  It did have some stretch, but not too much...it still held me in. I would highly recommend...very classic.   

The size 2L fit like a glove. The material felt so soft almost like silk. The only downside was it was a little low cut in the front. I was on the dance floor all night at a black tie wedding and found that I kept pulling the front up. Other than that I loved the dress so much and got so many compliments. 

great fit.  unable to wear bra as straps showed.  wore 4" heels to ensure train in back did not drag too much.  very comfortable, flattering.  

I wore this dress to my boyfriend's Air Force pilot training graduation and wing pinning. I comfortably wore this dress for 7 hours. The top was a little big on me but I am small in the chest area. I wore a bra and it helped a lot. I got a long size and the length was perfect for me. The overall fit was very nice. I am definitely going to be renting a dress form RTR again.

I absolutely LOVED the style of this dress. But unfortunately I had to wear my back up style instead of this one, as it was just too tight. I'm 189 pounds, 5'5", and a 34HH. In this photo I'm wearing a regular bra (though I probably would have had to use tape to keep it covered if I'd have worn this, maybe just because it's too small) and the Spanx higher power shorts in a size XL. I loved this style, the weight, the cut...but it was just too tight. I think a 16R would have been great. (I ended up wearing another dress from RTR and it was a 14R with plenty of room.) 

I wore this dress to my stepdaughter's wedding. I'm usually a size 8 and the 10 fit perfectly. This is a very flattering, form-fitting dress that made me feel beautiful. At 5''8", I ordered the long, but then had to wear 3" heels. I would have been more comfortable in the regular with a shorter heel. I didn't rate the dress the full 5 stars because it was a tad too low cut for me, but my husband, of course loved it! The dress works with a regular bra, but you may have to tape the straps to the dress to keep them from showing.

This dress is super plain (in a good way - think statement jewelry) with a fun neckline.  Ultimately I ended up wearing my back up dress because it felt too good to pass up but wish I had gone with this one.  At 5'7 this dress would have been a smidge short with heels I think.  Neckline is fun but a little risky if you are well endowed and prefer a conservative look.  Fit was true to size but the dress is meant to fit you close - still a flattering look.

I wore this gown to an ROTC Navy/Marine Corp Birthday Ball. This dress is a form fitting for sure. I have a small little tummy and I am not self conscience of it because I am a curvy women. I ordered 6R and 8R as my back up because it recommended ordering a size up as my back up dress. Wonderful gown, received several complements. I am 5' 5" and was about 140ish pounds when I wore this gown. I think I wore about 2 and half inch heels with the dress and it fit perfectly. I am large busted, 32DD, so it definitely highlighted my chest but there was no slight so I thought that was ok. Overall, I would definitely rent this again if I had another important formal occasion to go to.

The only thing I had an issue with, but I figured it would be an issue when I rented the dress because of the cap sleeves, is that it is hard to lift your arms up all the way due to the sleeves. But if you aren't a huge dancer then the arms thing won't bother you. But when I went to go dance I could raise my arms up all the way.
