Classy yet sexy dress
Size worn: 4
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
I chose this dress for my elopement. I wanted something that was classy yet not overly formal. This dress perfectly suited the occasion. I made an art deco style headpiece to accompany my dress, as well as a pair of earrings from express. I adored this dress, and it was a great fit for the day. The dress fit well enough and was true to size. My only complaint was that it was VERY difficult to keep the back taped down which ruined quite a few of my photos that day. If you are too curvy, I wouldn't recommend this dress. I have hips, which would cause the dress to bunch up a bit more than I would like if I wasn't very careful with my movements. Otherwise, it was a fabulous dress and I loved it!

Overall, I loved the dress. The small details, the shoulders, the open back, and the fact that I didn't have to wear a bra was even better! In the model photo the dress looks like it is made of tough fabric or not stretchy. The fabric is very giving but holds in all the right places. I would recommend this dress to anyone who wants to feel fabulous!

The fit of this dress is great! The fabric is thick enough that a bra is not needed, which works perfectly with the low cut back. If you are shorter you may want to rent a size smaller so the material in the back lays flat. Got a lot of compliments on this dress!

Really loved wearing this dress. A little short, but not too much. A little tight in the shoulders, but fine. Recommend a tan if you're light skinned. I do usually wear Size zero, but Zero was too tight in the chest area and size 2 was perfect!

I wanted to like this dress SO badly, but it just did NOT work for my body type. On a more pleasant note, this dress was very high-quality, which I was very happy about. I am also very fair-skinned, and I was wearing this dress to a wedding, so, in terms of the color, I was very nervous that I would 1.) look washed out and 2.) the color would be too close to white--neither of which were true (however, don't judge the coloring based solely on this picture, as I had to enhance and brighten the image).
The biggest issue I had was with the back of this dress. I don't know WHO the designer designed this dress for, but it was certainly NOT designed for me. The dress fit me perfectly everywhere else, except for the back--not even fabric tape would hold it down (THAT'S how big the back was on me). This was very upsetting to me because I wanted to put my hair in a nice, low bun to show off the back of the dress, but, instead, I had to keep my hair down, hoping it would actually COVER the back of the dress! Since I wore this to a wedding, naturally, I was dancing, and the sleeves kept falling down--yes, the sleeves kept falling down--all because the darn back of the dress! Now as much as I'm complaining here, I didn't think this was a big deal because faced forward, the dress looked perfectly fine. However, I then saw this picture of me, and I was SO upset! If you can see through my arm, the ill-fitted back of the dress was now shifting to the front of the dress, due to the way I was posed (aka the classic skinny arm pose). This was completely distorting not just the back of the dress, but now the front of the dress! So, unfortunately, this was a not a successful dress for me, but I imagine if you have the body type for the dress, it would look killer on you!

Great NYE party dress!!
Size worn: 2
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Party
Perfect dress for a NYE charity party. I got tons of compliments (from guys and girls :)) Would definitely rent again. I'm very short though and the dress was plenty short on me though so if you're tall- you probably won't be able to sit down or bend over in this dress. The 0 was a bit small in the chest area so I went with the two but either could have worked.
My only complaint is that the material rubbed the inside of my upper arm a bit & they were sore the next day.

Dress fit really well, in my usual size. It was a tiiiny bit loose in the midsection, and I don't have a six pack... I did wear spanx under though, and I wore sticky boobs for a bra. I know other people said they didn't need one, but I think this looked better than no bra. I was at a huge event with about 1000 people and I saw a few other people wearing it which was a bummer, but I loved the dress itself!

This dress was the perfect length for my height, with high heels on. It was a tiny bit loose which changed the way the back looked, but barely noticeable. I would highly recommend this dress, but keep in mind that it does seem to run a bit large.

I love this dress! I wore it for an outdoor fall wedding and it was perfect. The length was just right on my short frame, and I loved the back cut out. As usual with my RTR dresses, I got so many compliments, especially from complete strangers. The material was thick enough to be warm, and the inner lining was smooth so that the lacy exterior fabric didn't itch. The cap sleeves are also really flattering!

This dress was a lot of fun, and I stood out in a sea of black at my company holiday party. As a busty girl, I rarely wear backless dresses, but I bought a backless bra and it worked because the dress was structured enough for it to not be an issue. This is definitely a shift style; the waist was not very defined, which is okay for an apple body type like mine, but it is short so you're showing off your legs! You probably don't want to wear your highest heels if you are wearing it to an office party as I was. Would rent again!

I have to thank RTR's stylists for saving the day on this one! I had ordered a different dress that was wayyyyy too short (I'm talking bum cheeks short) and freaked out late the night before my holiday party at work. One of the fabulous stylists got right back to me over email and prepared this dress to ship first thing in the am. It came in plenty of time for the party and it was even more beautiful in person! The length is short but totally appropriate and classy. The fabric is high quality and the color, though light, didn't wash me out. It runs a little big and the back didn't stay snug but that didn't bother me like I thought it would from reading other reviews. It was also perfect for the winter wonderland theme! One of my favorite rentals!!

This dress was very comfortable and the fabric is thick enough that you don't have to wear a bar if you are a small bra size. I really loved the details of the dress and I got compliments all night! I ordered a size two and four. The four ended up fitting better but was a little loose in some areas but it wasn't too noticeable! I would loved to rent another dress for and an upcoming wedding it was an awesome experience!

This was one of the most comfortable dresses I've ever worn. It was very well made and hugged my curves perfectly. The open back was very flattering. I wore sticky cups since you can't wear a bra, but there was enough padding that you don't need anything if you're comfortable with that. My wider hips caused the dress to ride up a bit when I got up from sitting down but nothing that made me uncomfortable. So many compliments and I highly recommend it!

I saw previous renters say they received compliments, but I had no idea of the extent of compliments I was going to receive. My party had lots of uplighting & I was getting so many comments about how beautiful the dress shimmers on the dance floor. (The back was a high point, too.) The size 2 was too short for an office party so I went with the 4. If it was my bachelorette party, I would have gone with the 2. The dress did not get a 5/5 because the back did not lay perfectly flat on my back, however it flapped open just a little bit. The size 2 laid flat, but again, was too short. I did love this dress and wish I could have kept it.

The dress was extremely comfortable and wasn't too tight or short. The fabric was stretchy and was perfect for dancing. I was worried about the open back and thought I would need a sticky bra but since the fabric is so thick I was able to go without and it was very comfortable. My favourite dress that I've rented by far! I got compliments all night and felt great while I was wearing it!

Bottom half was a bit tight across my hips and showed some lines. Definitely need fashion tape to hold the back down. Overall, beautiful dress.

I wore this to my engagement party. Fit like a glove, true to size. I liked the dress in person better than online. It had enough sparkle without going overboard. It was more of a beige color and with a spray tan looked great. I wore a sticky bra because I wanted to be more secure and you couldn't tell with the dress. I got so many wonderful compliments on it!

This dress runs a little big but again I am petite so that's probably why. I loved this dress though and received tons of comments on it. I'm not fussy with the fit of clothes so the looseness of the back did not bother me but( from the picture you can see what I'm referring to ) if you like a tight fit definitely size down .

I ordered a 2 and a 4 but the 2 was a little big so I didn't even bother trying on the four. The back of the dress was very loose so I would recommend getting fashion tape and taping the entire back of the dress down. I had originally gotten nude shoes to go with it but it is definitely more silver than nude so I would suggest you get silver shoes.

I love this dress! The open back is so sexy but the front is still conservative enough to work for a formal event (for me it was my husband who is a fireman's holiday party). I normally wear an 8 in dresses but this ran a tad short and I wanted to be able to dance in it. I wore the ten and the arms slipped down a little bit. No big deal though. Loved this dress!
