Fit true to size, but since petite sizes were not available, I took a chance and work the regular height -- it was VERY long (I'm 5'4" and it was on the floor even in my tallest heels). Otherwise, I got a TON of compliments and the colors really pop in person. Would highly recommend!

This beautiful dress is flowy, colorful, and exudes happiness! Also, it's t.t.s. and the bodice stays put (so, you don't have to worry about wardrobe malfunctions in a strapless dress). A bra is not necessary because the bodice will provide support. Enjoy your event💖

Was flawless, and can be worn day or night

I wore this beauty for my bridal shower, and WOW, I love it.  My backup size wasn't available, so they sent a great backup style, that I also loved and was more expensive, but this one still won out, I just loved the bright colors.  

The bodice was a bit tight, but not horrible - I could have gone braless and it probably would have been fine, but I wasn't that daring since everyone was watching him open gifts and bend over.  The cut is great for a pear/hourglass.  I would wear this dress 1000x over.  

The long was a little long.  I had to wear my 5.5in heels.

I'm 5'1" and 120 lbs with a full bust. The dress was perfect length with 3 inch heels (petite) and had enough structure to hold everything in without wearing a bra. The material is light, perfect for hot weather, and flows when you walk so it looks like you're gliding across the floor. absolutely beautiful. You will get compliments all night. Big plus: you can eat/drink as much as you want.

This was a backup dress after the one I ordered couldn't be shipped at the last minute.  Only size 14 was available, so I took it and assumed it would be too big (I am normally a 10) - but it actually fit!  It was super long (wondering whether I actually got a regular instead of petite?), so I had to hold it up as I walked.  But, it was a gorgeous dress that stood out from every other dress at the wedding.  It was one of my favorite dresses yet, and perfect for a rental since it is such a memorable dress!

I absolutely ADORED wearing this dress. I was working a gala, and needed a dress that would allow me to run around, while still looking glam. This dress was the ticket. It's SO lightweight and comfortable- no tugging to keep it up. I usually wear between a 4 or a 6 in dresses, but a RTR rep encouraged me to size down, and I'm so glad I did. The 2P was great! Only thing- the uneven hem at the bottom, while gorgeous, is pretty long on a short girl like me. However, when you walk, it creates a lovely rippling effect. And nothing a little fashion tape can't help. I can't recommend this dress highly enough- take a chance on multi-colors instead of solids. You won't regret it! 

Amazing dress. Got so many compliments on it.  Very comfortable to wear. Would def rent it again 

Was hard to not step on the end of the dress while dancing or on the hill at the Ceremony but the Fred's and colors were lovely!

First, let me just say that I got complimented on how beautiful this dress was all night long! Not only did my friends and I love it, but also, people I didn't even know were coming up to me during the wedding and telling me how much they liked it. Wow! I ordered the 8R with a 6R as a backup size, as I am usually between the two sizes. They both fit, but I decided to go with the 8R as it was a bit less snug. I didn't have any problems with the dress staying up, as sometimes happens with strapless, and it was very comfortable. The only problem I had was the length – I’m pretty short, and even with 4 inch heels, I tripped a few times. Otherwise, I have nothing but good things to say about this dress!


The dress was very comfortable and airy for two warm summer weddings. The bodice was pinching a bit by the end of each night, but overall it was comfortable and easy to move around in--feels very lightweight and won't show sweat or anything! The regular size was a bit long, even with heels--I had ordered a petite backup size in case but it didn't come. The length was fine overall--again, a bit long but didn't get in the way too much.

Loved this dress and knew I had to get it for a formal wedding I was attending over Labor Day Weekend in Texas! I got a 6R and 4L - the 4L fit me like a glove! I'm 5'7" (and wore flats) and the R was just a little too short and the L was a tiny too long - but I went with the little long and made sure not to step on my dress. I received compliments all night (which happens with every RTR I get) and felt gorgeous in it and it was super easy (and fun) to dance in!

Absolutely gorgeous dress.  Colors are amazing and material soft and flowy.  Unfortunately it was way too tight in the bust area and I was unable to wear...but this would be a dress that I would highly recommend for any special event.  Still giving it the highest of ratings!

I loved the material. It's super light weight and very well made. The reviews were not lying about the length. It's a great dress but I suggest at least 3 inch heels and being a minimum of 5'5"-5'6" if you're renting it. I got a ton of compliments on the color and fit. It was a great rental!  

I was a little concerned renting a strapless dress because I wasn't sure my body type would be condusive to any one size, but this dress fit like a dream! I am typically an 8 in RTR dresses, but unfortunately, the day before I was supposed to get my dresses, I was contacted by RTR and they let me know that the size 8 would not be coming because it was damaged from a previous rental. I was super bummed because I did not think the 6 would even zip up (I am a little broad in the shoulders). RTR was awesome because they sent me two other dresses worth more then the dress I rented to help. Luckily the size 6 in my original choice fit perfectly! This is my 5th time renting through RTR and I have nothing but good things to say about the company. Keep up the good work!

I'm 5'5' but went with the petite after reading other reviews. Even in 3 inch heels, I had to be careful and my kids were constantly stepping on the bottom of the dress. Other than that, it was perfect. I'm a little busty and sometimes have trouble with structured tops, but no issues there.

5'6" 135lbs. 6R fit great! Absolutely stunning gown that I wore to a wedding. I felt like a princess. The colors are very soft and blend well. Received many compliments. I consider purchasing this dress as I loved it and did not want to take it off! Slightly short such that entire shoe shows when walking, but I liked to show off the shoes as well. So far the best dress I've rented from RTR.

I would have loved the 6L but 6R was available and 4L. The 4 worked with a pair of spankx. The 6R was great fit but too short. I'm 5-11. Loved how I felt and looked. Got a million complements. 

This dress is beautiful, I received compliments all night! I'm 5'3" so it was a bit long even with huge pump heels on but still it looked amazing while dancing and twirling!

Thankfully I wore this to wedding between two men because if there were a bride, this dress would have totally upstaged them. That is seriously how gorgeous it is. I received no less than 30 compliments from strangers. It's flowy, vibrantly-colored, easy to dance in... literal perfection. 

The fit was true to size, though as a small-busted size 6, I chose to go with the size 4 for a snugger fit. I'm 5'7" and needed to wear 4 in heels in this dress so that I wouldn't step on it all night (ended up stepping on it anyways while walking in grass, up stairs, and dancing). Pros are colors and fit - got compliments on this dress all night! Cons were that the wire boning in my dress was coming out a bit and was poking me in the chest all night. Unlikely to happen with every dress, though! Overall, I loved it and would recommend to women of all shapes and sizes!

The size I wore was 2R, true fit size. I am 5'1", so even with 4 inch heels the size was perfect! I couldn't have been more satisfied with this dress for the occasion!

LOVED this dress. The long was SUPER long even with heels on and I'm 5'9 so the length is difficult. 

I'm a ten and wore a ten. It fit great! Zipper is tricking but my jiggled it and it was totally fine. Very Comfortable and I got a ton of complements all night. I am very tall and it was the perfect length. I wore flats but could have worn heels! One of my favorite rentals. 

I received so many compliments on this dress I wish I could keep it! It looks like you're floating when you move. Beautiful colors, the top fit nicely, and just the perfect style for a warm wedding! 

Beautiful dress, the picture does not do the colors justice. The length was a little long (6R) even for this 5'6"er in three inch heels--fit perfect otherwise. Would rent again!

I wore this to a black-tie wedding and it was absolutely perfect. I am 5'3 and I wore 4in heels and the dress was still extremely long, but it was worth it!

#Karl&Angelawedding Beautiful outdoor wedding and I felt beautiful in this dress. I only wear dresses once so ill look forward to my next rental.  Pros length was perfect (14R) im 6'1". The cons the bodice was tight so your secure up top but after a few hours the boning in the bodice becomes uncomfortable and starts to poke you! Im a 36DD and my girlfriend had to zip me up and hook me first. This was too dainty for my husband's big hands lolol Very nice rental! 

I wore this to gala and it was absolutely perfect.  The pictures really don't do the colors in the dress justice - I had so many compliments on it.  I ordered the size 2R and the 4L as my backup (the 2L was not available).  I'm tall and usually have a very hard time finding long dresses that aren't too short.  However, I was able to wear the regular length with 2 inch heels and it was perfect!  Unless you're taller than 5'10 I would suggest ordering the regular length in this dress.  The 4 was a little too large in the bust/waist area.  The 2 was tight, but that was great for me because I never felt like I was having to constantly pull the dress up.  It is well-made and supportive, no need for a bra.  Would definitely rent this dress again!

True to Size, Beautiful Dress, and so many compliments! I felt like a queen!

This dress is beautiful! I wish I could keep it :)
The Good:I received tons of compliments. You will definitely stand out in the crowd. You don't have to wear a bra!
The Bad: Runs Small and you have to wear super high heals even if you  order regular length.

I absolutely loved this dress! I ended up wearing the larger size bc the 6 was just a little too snug on my chest area. Unfortunately the 8 chest area was a little big but not enough where I was constantly pulling up my dress. Overall, I would totally rent again! Oh & you must wear heels! Even with mine it was still long but I didn't mind it.

This dress was worth every penny. The material is high quality and it flows beautifully. Pictures online don't do the color justice, especially the pink. This dress is extremely long. I'm 5'10" and wore 1" heels and the regular still touched the ground! I received compliments the entire night at the wedding I attended. One of a kind dress, you won't be disappointed! 

This dress was beautiful and fit flawlessly. I hated to send it back! It is so soft, light and breezy—perfect for the (hot!) outdoor wedding I went to in Palm Springs. I was worried that the colors would be too bold in person, but they were understated and elegant. I am 145 lbs and a 34DD, and the size 8 bodice fit me like a glove. I didn't even need to wear a bra! I'm 5'7", and the length was perfect with my 3.5" heels. Honestly, the best-fitting dress I have ever worn. I paired it with a gold-and-pearl necklace by Lulu Frost, and I thought it was a perfect match. 

The compliments I got on this dress at the wedding (at a castle in Spain...) were too many to count. I got "you look like a painting", "you're a vision", and "no way!".  My facebook feed blew up when I posted pictures. I would have bought it, but alas, I do not have that kind of cash. Maybe one day. I did need to readjust throughout the night because it tended to slip slightly and get a little off center (as you can see in the second picture). No bra needed!

The fit is an entire size too small. I normally wear a 10 but couldn't zip that one at all. I wore very high wedges so the long was perfect, so I recommend that if you wear heels, that you get a long, however I am 5'8" on my own so that may just be me. The dress is VERY well constructed and sturdy, and held up very well, it has the silicone edges to help hold it up, and has a very sturdy and boned bodice with molded cups. Overall I loved it, and wish I could buy it!

This is a super comfortable dress but runs a little large in the torso (though I don't have much in the way of cup size!). The fabric is beautiful and soft. I have never been able to wear a strapless dress that would stay up and still be comfortable! Only down side was that I tripped over it all night even in 4" heels, so maybe not a great choice if you are 5'4 or under. Maybe platform heels? Tall girls, rent this beauty!

It was a tad snug, but that's because only the 4R was available so I went with it!  I'm usually a 4-6 on top and larger on bottom, so the full skirt was great.  I felt plenty comfortable that night, and was able to move and dance easily.

I would definitely rent it again for a formal event!

The dress was very long so make sure you wear high heels. I tripped on it quite a bit in 2-3 inch heels. 

I received so many compliments on this dress.  I'm relatively short so I had to wear higher heels and the dress still dragged a bit on the floor.  I have a larger bust and didn't have to worry about pulling the dress up as much as I thought I would. Overall a beautiful dress, I would wear it again! 

I really loved this dress. It was true to size and a very comfortable fit. I have a large bust and broad shoulders,  but this dress was super flattering! 

Beautiful, flowing dress. It looked elegant for the gala I attended and was lightweight enough to dance in (while holding up the bottom, because I definitely took off my shoes to dance). It worked well with my skin tone, and I imagine people blessed with more melanin would pop even more in it! Definitely needed a strapless bra to hold it up (34B), and would have opted for higher shoes since it's quite long (I'm 5'7, 125). Solid first experience with RTR!

This dress was comfortable and very beautiful in person!  The only reason I'm giving this 4 stars instead of 5 is because there was a hole in the fabric at the bottom of the dress (about two inches in diameter) and I didn't realize this until right before I was getting ready for my event.  Luckily it wasn't too noticeable with the way the fabric fell, but I do wish that it had been inspected more closely so this dress could be taken out of the rental pool. Still, I got a ton of compliments and would definitely rent this one again!

Fit beautifully, was a little long for my 5'9 daughter even with 3" heels. She did get her heels caught in the bottom of the dress but otherwise she loved it and wanted to keep it!

Loved the dress! The bust was a tad tight, but the overall fit is true to size. I ordered this because I just colored my hair with bold green highlights and wanted a dress to balance them out. Sure did the job as I received so many compliments that evening on it, including another RTR customer that ordered the same dress, but found it too long. 

The dress *does* run long, even in petite length with 3 in heels.  I actually received the dress with 2 tears at the bottom, so as said in other reviews, it does get stepped on both by the wearer and other folks. I pointed this out to customer service ASAP and they noted it.  I would love to purchase this dress and shorten it for other events!

This dress is beautiful and I got many compliments. I'm really glad I picked it; even though I am usually not a fan of strapless dresses the sweetheart neckline was very flattering. In general the fit was true to size; I am usually a 2/4 and ended up wearing a 4, which was just a smidge too big but stayed up fine (with a nubra) so I wasn't worried about it. I would definitely recommend a nubra of you are smaller chested, but I could have gotten away with no bra as well. The dress was also very long (even the regular length), so be prepared to wear 3" heels or tie it up if you don't want to trip! The length wasn't bothersome to me I just had to be extra careful I didn't stop on the dress. Overall a great dress and I'm glad I went outside my comfort zone and rented it!

I loved this dress! It was perfect for an outdoor summer wedding. I kept getting compliments all day and evening!

It definitely runs small in the bust and runs a bit long. I'm a 34DD, 5'5", and usually a size 10. I NEVER go bra-less, but this was so tight that I had no choice.  (Eep!) That being said, this was the first dress I've ever worn that you couldn't tell there was no bra (thanks to the boning, fabric, and cut) and I really didn't find myself worried about it slipping down (a chronic issue for me in anything strapless). The dress I received also had two hooks at the top of the zipper which was less than helpful in zipping up the tight top - but once I was in it seemed to be okay that there was no hook and eye to use as a backup closure. It would have been a nice piece of mind for the slippage factor though! The 10R fit okay in the waist but was a bit long - although I did opt for flats. I was fine moving around comfortably without tripping and enjoyed the flowing feel of the longer dress!

The fabric is light enough for a hot day in the sun, but it's also not too sheer or flimsy - it feels very luxurious and substantial while remaining light and flowy.

Overall, I hated having to return this dress. Even though I panicked at first about how tight the top was, it ended up working out. It'll be hard to rent a different dress after this one!

The dress and fabric were beautiful. I ordered a 4 as a backup, and I could of wore either size; however there are serious issues with the zipper of both dresses. They were near impossible to zip up/down.  The fit was not as flattering as I'd hoped either. After looking at pictures, it really makes me have a large pear shape.  I did receive numerous compliments--the colors and fabric really were beautiful..And the dress floated when walking--I wore 3" heels. Unfortunately, I would not rent again. Customer service was wonderful when I called to alert of the zipper concerns.

The dress was even more beautiful in person, but the wires in the bodice are coming loose and makes for some uncomfortable spots. Overall, I would wear it again!
