One word: Perfect!
Size worn: S
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
My husband's comment when he saw this on me was "You are stunning." I didn't want to return it. It is SO flattering and just the perfect fit. The XS fit me as well, but was a bit too short to wear to a wedding. The top fit me well, but I have broad shoulders, so it may be a bit loose on the average woman. I absolutely LOVED this dress, got compliments all night, and felt sexy all evening. Thanks RTR.

Not for me
Size worn: M
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Party
To be honest, I knew I was taking a risk when I rented this dress. It's not really my style & the cut didn't look like it would be too flattering on me. And it wasn't. I'm pear-shaped and this dress made my small chest look smaller and wasn't doing a whole lot for my hips. Also, I'm 5'6" and the dress nearly hit my knees. If your chest & waist are one or two sizes smaller than your hips, like mine are, there are more flattering dresses for you to rent.

LOVE this dress!

I wore this dress for a birthday dinner and I LOVED it. It was a last minute replacement for another dress that I had ordered but was damaged in my size and I could not have been happier with this. It is very flattering, the material clings to your curves, but slims you a bit at the same time. I would definitely get this one again.

So flattering!
Size worn: S
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
I love this dress. I have rented it twice now and it really looks spectacular on. I love that it has kindof a sporty, tennis shape. It's girly and flirty but sophisticated at the same time. Highly recommended for any occasion! I now order it as my back-up dress if I'm trying something new because I know it loos great.

The best dress I've ever worn!
Size worn: S
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
This is the ultimate LBD! Loved it - honestly, I didn't want to send it back! :) A couple weekends ago, I was in a wedding & the bridesmaid dress was hideous. Thankfully, the other bridesmaids mentioned that they were planning on changing at the reception once all the pictures were done. I wanted something simple (yet awesome!), and this dress was p-e-r-f-e-c-t! It was super flattering and great for dancing the night away! I will definitely be renting this one again.

Fits like an Herve Leger
Size worn: S
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Vacation
I rented this dress for Vegas, and I was looking for an Herve Leger-like dress, but with a little more flare at the bottom. The fabric is heavy weight stretch knit, much like Herve fabrics, but without the banding. It really sucked me in, and lifted in the right places. I'm 5"1, and this dress was several inches above the knee, so it looked youthful, but age appropriate and very sexy. I was able to pin a regular bra into the garment, but it wasn't easy, I hate strapless bras. I will say that this dress is fitted over the hips, and really does flare until past the hip, so if you are trying to find something to disguise your hips, you might want to look at other options that have a true flare at the waist, because it could emphasize your hips. Overall, it was a super-hot dress and I got asked lots of questions on where I got it.

Makes you look SO skinny!
Size worn: S
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Party
This dress is absolutely fantastic! I'm 5'8 with an hourglass shape and the dress fit great. The only problem was that it was a little short for my height - I should have gone with the medium. Other than that, the construction of this dress is such that no matter your shape, you will have the tiniest waist! It is VERY flattering.
One issue I had, however, is that the particular dress I was sent seemed to be worn out - there were three holes that prior customers had tried to sew up...I had to fix them.
Overall, fantastic dress - definitely recommend!!

Great dress
Size worn: XS
Overall fit: Large
Rented for: Party
I worse this dress for a bachelorette party. I got tons of compliments from the other ladies and felt very confident in this dress. My photo does not do it justice. It was rainy and humid that night so, I wasn't looking my best. Anyhow, it is a very flattering, figure hugging dress. I ordered the XS and S, and wore the XS, as the strap on the S was a bit too loose.

Just right!
Size worn: S
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Party
Loved this dress! It was snug in all the right ways...It's very complimentary to a small waist. Also, the fact that the fabric is so thick makes it very forgiving even though it's snug. Will rent this one again!

The dress was a success by the amount of comments I got. The thick fabric made it look really nice with my body type. I had to use spanx as the product details recommended. I am 5'2'' and the small size fit me really well in lenght. I have small breast but the XS did not fit my breast area as good, so I used the Small and was really happy since it is a really comfortable fit, too.

Great form fitting dress. it was a little tight in the torso, but still looked great. one of the straps seemed to have been stretched out, so i had to readjust it throughout the night.

Beautiful dress and quality but since I'm so short i found the dress to be too long in the torso for my body. Best for someone a little taller i think so the proportions fit more properly.

I loved this dress and was actually sad to send it back to RTR. I wore it to a Gran Opening and got so many compliments on the dress but mostly on my figure, which is what makes this dress so great! It's simple and chic, but what makes the sell is how thin you feel and look in it. Must rent!

One of the best dresses I have ever worn. The bandage top is super flattering and fierce, but the skirt is flirty and feminine- especially for a pear.
