I absolutely loved this dress... it was perfect for my boyfriend's company Christmas party! The color and detail are even better in person... lots of holiday sparkle! I had to wear the size up in this one, it definitely runs small and has no give. The 6 would've worked everywhere except in the bust. The 8 was still a bit tight up top but it worked to keep it in place all night. The length hit just at the knee on me, which was a perfect touch of modesty to compensate for the little bit of cleavage up top. Would definitely rent this one again! 

perfect for my company holiday party. classy with a touch of glitz.
a little tough for a big dinner, though! not much room for expansion (probably for the best)

The dress fits tightly but it looks great!

I rented this dress for a wedding that my husband was the best man in. After going through many different options, I chose this dress. All I can say is "Wow!" I rented the size 4 (which I tend to take), but thankfully also got the size 6. I think that because it was a lot tighter than dresses I tend to wear, I wore a size up, but, in retrospect, I probably could have gone up another size (I didn't even have room to wear a bra).. it was a tad tight. But, other than that, it was AMAZING. Beautiful shape AND material.. I got compliments the entire night.. People kept coming up to my husband saying how amazing I looked. Definitely a boost to my self esteem! I would definitely recommend this dress for any event where you want to look classy and sexy!! 

This dress was so tight, I wish I would have gotten a 10. I normally wear a 6 or 8... The 8 was tight but it worked without a bra. :-) I received so many compliments and my husband was happy. The things we do to look good, right?!

This dress was amazing! The sweetheart neckline is a little low, so beware if you are looking to be more modest or if you are more busty. Other than that, the silver fabric with the shiny silver stitching is amazing. I wore it for a winter formal and had to wear a large coat and a thick slip underneath, but it took nothing from the dress! It was absolutely perfect and timeless!

The material is even more beautiful in person, unfortunately because of my body type it was tight in some places and loose in others, I ordered the wrong two sizes though. It kept falling down on me, but that was my fault.

Received many compliments.  The back up size 2 wasn't available so I had to wear he 0.  Very form fitting but allowed me to dance all night.  It is a bit tight around the waist but not suffocating lot so.  The embroidery and tinsel make it eye catching.  

Absolutely stunning dress, I was so upset to return it! The color and fabric are so rich and beautiful, it's a bit thicker fabric than I assumed but I danced the night away in it and it was fine the whole time. I couldn't wear a bra with it because it was pretty tight but it still looked great. The cut is very slimming and the dress itself is so gorgeous that I didn't have to accessorize too much. I would get your second size in a size up instead of down. I would highly recommend this dress to everyone!

This was my first time renting from RTR and this dress was everything I was looking for in a dress for my sorority formal. Every other short dress was either too casual or too raunchy for the event. I read reviews before I ordered about the dress fitting very small which I completely agree on. I normal fit a size 8/10 but with this dress I ordered a size 10/12 and ended up wearing the size 12 with a shaper. However, I got endless compliments and would highly recommend this dress!

Fit tight but it worked because it wasn't sliding off me all night. Very interesting color and pattern. Looked beautiful in low lighting!

I usually fit between and 4 and a 6 in dresses and the 4 fit perfectly. The dress is the perfect length for a tall girl like myself, there was never an issue of whether or not it was too short, and it definitely wasn't too long so that it fell in that kind of weird area of length. I felt so confident in this dress and LOVED it! I got so many nice compliments, it was definitely a hit. I didn't want to return it, I wanted to wear it forever! The only (small) negative is that it's not very comfortable to sit down in, but I wasn't sitting for much of the night so it was alright. Overall, this was one of the best dresses I've ever worn!

I loved it! Overall it was beautiful but the dress fits small. I am usually a size 4 and not even the 6 fit me. 
Absolutely greatest experience with RTR!

I loved wearing this dress! It was easily dressed up for a winter black tie wedding with a chunky necklace and black tights. It was a little snug in the hips and a little large in the chest. I was not planning to wear a bra with it as it stands up nicely with the boning, but had to add a strapless at the last moment to help it stay up. It worked just fine with the bra. Overall, it was pretty comfortable. I didn't have any difficultly dancing, sitting or bending down. 

The fit of the dress is very form fitting and sitting down is not painful but you can feel it.  It also is snug around the legs so it makes dancing and "getting low" a little difficult.  One of the seams in the back actually opened by the end of a night of dancing.  But that is the only somewhat bad thing about this dress.  It looked amazing and the details on the dress are stunning.  Does not need much of anything to accessorize.  Would totally wear again. 

I ordered this as a backup dress for my engagement party & it's the one I ended up wearing. The party was more on the casual side, so I wore a sweater & flats with it, but it was still my night so I wanted to sparkle a little bit :) It's a nice flattering shape and glitzy while still being classy. Perfect dress to look hot but not too risque in front of the grandparents! Got compliments all night.

Absolutely gorgeous dress!  Received compliments all night long.  It fit a little snug, but it was comfortable and I didn't have to worry about it falling down.  Perfect for a more formal occasion.  

This is the first dress I've rented from RTR, and judging by this experience, I can say I'm a huge fan. I'm usually a size 0 and this dress fit me perfectly. The embroidery was beautiful and the color was sort of a pewter/silver. The only downside is you can tell it's been worn a few times, there were a few snags in the fabric - but nothing too noticeable. I felt great in it and it was surprisingly light and comfortable. I got many compliments on it - would definitely rent this one again!

The title says it all. I wore this to a celebration dinner date at a very upscale restaurant in DC and it could not have been more perfect. For those of you who have any doubts, it's formal without being floor-length, but you can truly accessorize it to match whatever your occasion might be. Seriously a perfect and versatile, but very classy, dress.

Fit: Definitely true-to-size. Probably a bit better suited for those smaller on top though, just given how it felt on me. It's very structured and unforgiving fabric, as others have mentioned, but it's gorgeous. 

Accessories: I wore a pair of Chinese Laundry "Lucky Charm" shoes which wrapped in a bit of gray and silvery white which were perfect, since I'm not a huge fan of nude shoes with a silver dress. I rented a pair of gorgeous earrings too (Gerard Yosca Nouveau Drops in grey), and paired the dress with a blue-silver pashmina. It's a silver dress with silver detailing, and is on the "cool" side of the spectrum. 

Overall, this dress is an eye-catching and unique one, and it couldn't have been more perfect for the occasion. The boyfriend loved it, and I wouldn't hesitate to use RTR again for special occasions. 

At the restaurant she was complimented repeatedly on her beautiful dress. It fit a little tight, but looked wonderful. It was comfortable, and the details in the dress drew enough attention that not much jewelry was necessary.

I wore this dress to a black-tie optional wedding.  There wound up being many varying levels of formality at the wedding, and this dress was perfect.  It was short and not super embellished, which kept it from being too formal, but the shiny silver/gold embroidery made it fancier than your run of the mill cocktail dress.  It is also an extremely flattering cut, creating an hour-glass illusion for even the smallest girl.  Would definitely recommend!  

This dress is beautiful. I wore this for my wedding rehearsal dinner. I ordered a 0 & 2 and I should have ordered a 2 & 4. The dress was smaller than I anticipated and even though the 2 fit, I would have been more comfortable in the 4 given how low cut the dress was. I often think about renting this dress again and would definitely recommend it for a formal occasion. Looks great with a set of pearls and nude shoes!

I'm usually a size 4 but ended up wearing the 6 as the 4 was a bit to snug in the bust and midsection. Overall comfortable and beautiful dress!!

I wore this dress to an awards banquet for my alma mater Towson University's Football team (back to back conference champs! #upROAR!). It was a PERFECT fit. I'm tall and slim but I have an athletic build so the dress was just a smidge tight around the thighs, making it interesting to drive in it lol. The only thing I didn't like was the extra fabric that gathered around the stomach area. It wasn't a lot, I seemed to be the only one to notice it, but then again no one was really looking at my stomach in this dress ;)

I really loved wearing this dress. I felt really good in it and I think it fit my petite frame really well. This was my first rental, but it definitley wont be the last! The dress feels really sturdy and holds you in really well. As for the second, free size, I do reccomend getting a size larger because although this dress fit true to size for me, it it more figure hugging so its good to have a larger size as a backup.

I loved this dress! Before renting it I had read that it ran a little small and to order up a size, but I ended up wearing the exact same size dress that I normally do. I wore the 8 and my extra size was a 6, which I still fit into, but knowing the night would be filled with dancing, food, and drinks, I went ahead and stuck with the 8. I felt amazing with this dress on and received compliments all night long. 

I absolutely LOVED this dress!! This my my first experience renting a dress from RTR & I would definitely do this again in the future.  After reading other reviews, I ordered sizes 4 & 6 just to be safe.  I normally wear a size 4, but it was just too small in the bust (which tends to happen quite often).  The size 6 fit perfect. I felt great in it & received a ton of compliments to top it off! I wish I would've known about RTR when I got married, I would've saved a ton of time & $ dress shopping.  Btw, in response to others saying the dress looked used, I beg to differ. I am a Virgo, (so you can only imagine :) ) meaning I tend to be quite anal and the dresses did not look worn at all!

This dress fit perfectly!  I used some fashion tape around the top of the dress just in case things came loose while I was dancing, but everything was fine.  I would definitely rent this again!

Beautiful dress with a super flattering cut.  Runs a little small and is a very form fitting - I would order a size up from normal if you'd like to be able to breathe by the end of the evening.  Got a ton of complements!

I wore this dress to an event with about 1500 people, and I was able to find a unique dress!  I had considered several other RTR dresses for the event, all of which I saw atleast once that night.  

I ordered this dress in 0 and 2.  Usually I wear size two, but I went with a 0 for the backup size knowing that 2's on me are usually a little loose.  When the dresses came, the 2 was pretty worn, maybe washed a few too many times.  And it actually felt tighter than the 0.  Luckily, the 0 fit like a glove and was in good condition.

Normally I hate strapless dresses, but this one fit beautifully, and looked great.  I rented the Badgley Mischka Crystal Cluster necklace to go with it, knowing I would need something special to accent my dress.  The compliments are still rolling in!

This dress fit absolutely perfectly.  I could not have asked for a better dress for the party.  I am so pleased and referred at least 20 people to RTR that night

It fit me really well. It is very figure hugging, but with that being said runs true to size. If you're between two sizes I'd most likely go with the larger one.

I wore this dress for my sorority formal. It was my first time using RTR and I was a little scared about how the dress would fit. However, once I received it and tried it on for the first time, I immediately fell in love. It was classy because of the length and print but the sweetheart neckline gives it the perfect sexy touch. I also rented the Lee Angel necklace to go with it. The combination kept the compliments coming all night!!!

This is probably one of my favorite dresses I've ever worn. I rented this for a wedding at a California vineyard. The material has NO stretch, so it hugs your body. It almost has a "corset" type of fit because the material is very thick and durable. It feels expensive and looks elegant in person. I received endless compliments. You can wear a cropped cardigan or blazer if you need warmth. I wore with nude pumps and nude pantyhose. Top it off with pearls and simple hair/makeup. 

OK, so I knew that a size 12 would be a gamble for me, being that I am 5' 7", 170 lbs., with 36DDs.  It took a team of three (my husband, girlfriend, and stylist) to get me zipped up!  I definitely needed spanx for my hips, but made it work without a bra.  I did have to continually pull the girls up throughout the night, but that was a better alternative than spilling out of the top due to wearing a bra.  Since this was my company's Christmas party, I knew this dress would be sexy, but classy.  Other than the fact that I could barely sit in the dress, I was able to walk and dance fairly easily in it.  I'm just so happy that I was able to pull it off.  Believe me when I say that I had doubts when I tried to put it on after it arrived in the mail.  I am usually a size 10 or 12, but after reading the reviews, I almost wish there were a size 14 that I could have ordered.  But it was worth the risk, and I am thoroughly satisfied with the RTR service and product.  I will never go back to buying dresses for special occasions again!

This dress ran a little small in the bust area, have a small bust and I still had to size up. I have curvy hips and this dress complimented them rather than accentuating them which is very unusual as I have a hard time wearing fitted dresses for that reason. I wore this to my bridal shower and I received an amazing number of compliments and requests of where I got the dress. I paired it with a white leather jacket and sparkly dark gray heels. Perfect for a chilly November day. HIGHLY recommend this dress!

The dress was made in the heavens! I was initially skeptical because I have red hair, blue eyes and fair skin but I felt like an absolute princess in this dress. I think that the color could illuminate both fair and dark skin, and the shape is PERFECT. I am relatively small-chested and I think that the dress works better for those less endowed-- I would imagine a larger chest would be busting out. The shape of the dress accentuated my waist and fit even with a large butt. I would imagine this dress would work for athletic, pear and hourglass figures.

Absolutely loved this dress.  I wore it to a black tie optional wedding.  It was a perfect fit  and really comfortable.   I'm normally a size 4 and this dress fit like a glove and was probably the most comfortable strapless dress I've ever worn (no strapless bra needed).  The silver adds a nice formal touch to the dress.  Silver or diamond earrings would complement it really well.  

This dress was absolutely amazing. The waist is cinched, creating an hourglass shape, and the top comes with a strap in the back to hold you in and push you up. If you are large chested, I'd recommend going a size up (I sized up from a 4) to make sure your bosoms aren't being suffocated. The fabric was beautiful, and the Badgley Mischka necklace I paired it with made for a clean, elegant look. This is my second time using RTR, and I'm just looking for an excuse to come back for the third time!!!

This was my backup dress, and it ran a little small, but it stayed up all night and I got a ton of compliments! It was clean and looked brand new.  

The size 4 is a lil loose on the top, too tight on the waist and too loose on the bottom. I tried the 6 just to give it a shot,  but of course - it looked like I was swimming in it. 

I wore the size 4, but was uncomfortable throughout the wedding.


People asked me all night where I got my great dress! I ended up feeling great in it, but the fit is tricky. The dress was tight overall but not tight enough to confidently skip wearing a bra at my bust size. I ended up using a Nubra along with the built-in elastic and it worked alright. The fabric bunched for me around the bottom of my rib cage which I didn't care for. The boning wire in my dress was also starting to poke out from so many wears. All in all it was a glamorous dress if you can get it to fit right!

I'm usually a 4 or 6, this 6 just barely fit. Definitely snug but it's a very pretty dress, nicer in person actually. I would recommend it but get your normal size and a size up just in case! Also the material is thick so the September wedding I wore it to was perfect, wouldn't recommend for 95 degree weather! Overall great dress! 

It did fit rather snug. I'm a pear shape so it was tight around my hips and thighs. Loose around chest. I personally think it would fit better for someone with a larger chest and looking for a dress to accentuate their curves. I loved the fabric!!! It was gorgeous!!!! I would definitely recommend this dress, be sure to get a size up! 

The size was a bit bigger, in the hip and the chest area, so I found myself tugging at the dress quite a bit over the course of the evening. 

Overall a beautiful dress though!

I wore this dress to dinner on our honeymoon. It was pretty, but some of the detail on the dress had been picked from general wear and tear. Definitely order a size up, too!

Fit small, I always order a 2 from RTR but I could have used a 4 in this Tracey Reese. Still beautiful, Still worked! 

The dress fits mostly true to size, but the bust was a bit large which usually isn't a problem for me.  As other reviewers have mentioned, there is no give or stretch to this dress making it hard to sit down and very hard to go to the bathroom.  I had to unzip the whole dress when I went to the bathroom. 

The only other issue I had with the dress, which I think you can see from others' photos, is that it gets wrinkle lines around the middle from sitting.  I kept tugging on it but it didn't help.

The dress is beautiful though.  Still wouldn't rent this particular dress again.

I rented this dress for my sister in law's engagement party.  The light shimmer of the fabric and sweetheart neckline makes it perfect for both a formal or cocktail affair.  I got tons of compliments and it actually fit my ladies!  I wear a 36D so I was a little afraid that would be a problem.  The only con is that if it fits a little snug, there is no give to the material, so it can be a bit uncomfortable if it doesn't fit just right. However, I didn't have to wear any spanx so that was awesome and the top fit well so a bra was not necessary.  The weather was perfect for the fabric, which is slightly thick,  but if you are thinking about trying  this for an outdoor summer event anywhere it is commonly warm or humid, I would choose another dress.  All in all, I felt sexy and elegant and the color is flattering to any skin or hair color! Had a blast!

At first I didn't love the dress and was going to wear a backup one. It didn't feel like it would be comfortable for dancing. Day of the wedding I gave it another shot and decided to go with it. It ended up working out! I danced all night in it! The fit is a little tight around the hips and loose on the chest. Overall a win.



This dress is beautiful.  But I am athletic and 36C which basically meant don't breathe or don't wear this dress. I'm still adjusting to my body so maybe it is normal. Bonus feature was that a bra had no room between me and the dress. Felt very uncomfortable but pretty.

The dress looked great, but the fit is a bit tricky. If you're heavy chested or have hips and a butt, I'd size up. Otherwise, beautiful dress for a black tie optional wedding. 

I ordered a 4 and 6 and I felt that the 4 was a bit stretched out. It fit me the same way the 6 did. I wish it was a bit more a snug on my but everyone else seems to have the opposite problem. Other than that, it was great and comfortable. 

First RTR experience. RTR was amazing when I had a shipping mishap with UPS (deliveryman didn't leave the package at my door and I was leaving first thing the next a.m.). RTR overnighted new dresses to my hotel and had the undelivered package returned to sender. I'm sooo thankful that RTR did that for me! On to the dress: the fit is quite tight through the bottom half of the dress, but it made me look a lot thinner than I actually am! It was very beautiful and classy looking. I went with the 4 because the material looked newer and less frayed than the 6, and the top fit tighter which is essential for a strapless. Overall great experience with customer service and great dress!!  

I wore this dress as an usherette for a friend's wedding in September.  I was glad there was a chill in the air that day because the dress fabric is thick and warm.  The dress is very structured and runs small.  I'm consistently a size 4 (or a 4P) in dresses--at RTR and other stores (Nordstrom, J Crew, etc.)--but I had to squeeze into this 6.  I recommend ordering a size up.  I enjoyed wearing the dress and received tons of compliments.  The bride allowed the other usherette and me free reign over our dress choice, and she (along with the bridesmaids) were in love with the look of the dress.

This dress truly is stunning! I do think it ran small, or perhaps it was the corseting in the top, but it was a little difficult to breathe at times. I wore a size 0, which I normally wear, but also because when I ordered it the size 2 was not available. However I think if I had ended up with a 2 the top would have felt better, but the rest of the dress may not have been as flattering. That's really my only con with this dress. It is definitely more silver than gold, but if you wanted to play up the little bit of gold thread that runs through the fabric you definitely could. It was perfect for the NYE wedding I attended because it was just enough sparkle for such a night.

(Disclaimer: the photo is horrendous but this is the only full length shot I could find) This dress was rented for a wedding/NYE 2014 celebration. When it arrived in the great bag with the fun NYE hat from RTR, I was so pleasantly surprised. The silvery tones in this dress were perfect for New Years Eve and the wedge wood blue color is really beautiful. The overall fit was snug! I normally wear an 8 or a 10 so I am so glad the only size left was a 12 - I would have been in trouble! Loved this experience and am grateful for a resource like RTR!

I rented this dress for my senior show exhibit. It fit like a glove and I received many compliments on it. I was worried about wearing a bra and having the top slide down, but that wasn't an issue. The color was more faded than I thought it was and the fabric had some snags, but it was still very beautiful. It made my night even better! I would definitely rent this dress again!

I ordered a 6 and 4 never got the size 4 so I had to wear the six, it was a little big on so I had to keep pulling it up. but by the time we were done eating and drinking it started to fit a little better !  Because the size 4 never came I emailed them, they had to send me a different dress but I had already left for wedding so they refunded me the money, I couldn't believe they did that ! I cant wait for my next event to rent from here again ! as far as the dress it looked great and my husband LOVED IT . 

The dress is beautiful in person.  I'm usually a size 10 but I wore this in a 12. The bottom half of the dress was a little snug, but felt alright everywhere else. I didn't need a bra or tape. Get a size up from what you normally would wear, though.

The dress is a beautiful color and material.  I totally agree with the other comments here though that it has no give and is very closely cut.  Glad I read the reviews and sized up for the backup size.  If you are particularly hippy or busty you would really need to size up 2 sizes.  That said, it was a real stunner and I was very happy with my rental! 

I was not sure I would like this dress. The 4 was WAY too small on my butt. The 6 fit better down below but had a lot of room on top. I wore a strapless bra and there is an elastic tie in the dress I used to made it fit better. I got so many compliments at the wedding and a ton more when I posted epicures online. The fabric is thick so it was not as flattering when it bunched in certain spots. Overall it was a fun dress and not too flashy.
