Gorgeous color, VERY snug fit
I rented this dress for my sisters bridal shower and loved the color, fabric, and detail at the neckline. HOWEVER, they aren't kidding when they say the waist runs small. I am very glad I ordered a size up for my backup because the 6 would never have fit around the waist. The skirt on the 8 was a bit roomy but the bust was slim and the seem around the waist was uncomfortably tight by the end of the day. Size up!

Stunner
Rented this when my original rental was unavailable and was not disappointed! The color is gorgeous and the fit and length are great. This is not the best photo of the dress, but it was the only one I managed to get! As a busty woman, i don't know that it was the most flattering for my chest, but the comfort and simplicity made this dress for me. You absolutely need a sticky bra, the back is too low for a regular strapless bra so if you need REAL support like me, make peace with slightly droopy boobs or get a backless corset or something:)

Beautiful but runs small!
I have been eyeing this dress up for some time and when my original rental was unavailable, I jumped at the chance to wear this stunner. Unfortunately, I didn't read the reviews closely enough and would have done well to order a size larger than my normal 6. The fabric is thicker and with a great texture that doesn't read on the photo. It runs nearly a full size small. Couldn't wear it!

I rented this to go with a black romper for a dinner date on my wedding anniversary, but I ended up carrying it ALL weekend! The color and quality were stunning! Broke my heart to send it back!

Beautiful fabric, conservative cut
Rented to wear while conducting a concert beau cause I wanted a little something different to wear instead of concert black. It is a beautiful quality fabric and the graphic is stunning- more grey. And almost lavender than the black and white it appears in photos. Flattering cut for ladies with a small waist and hips. Received MANY compliments on the uniqueness of the print. My only complaint was that the cut of the sleeves did not allow much "give " so I felt a bit restricted while conducting.

Gorgeous but HUGE
I originally ordered this dress in a 6 with an 8 as a backup. When the 6 wasn't available to ship due to damage, RTR sent me two different styles on addition to my backup size. Reem Acra usually runs very small to I had hopes that my backup would still fit. My word, it was enormous! I don't think the 6 would have even fit! The fabric and dress itself was STUNNING however. I still recommend renting this and will likely rent again myself but I will go down two, even three sizes.

RTR sent me this as one of two dresses when my original dress was returned damaged. It is absolutely stunning and fit like a glove but I ultimately went with the other dress based on color alone (I needed a black dress). Will certainly rent again!

This dress is absolutely stunning! The details in the fabric don't read in pictures but they're gorg
I actually rented a different dress for a wedding in which I was both a guest and playing flute for the ceremony. When my original dress was returned damaged, RTR offered to send me two different dresses of my choosing. I called them and explained to the stylist that I had specific needs for sleeves, color, and fit to allow me to look professional when playing AND be able to dance and at comfortably. This was the dress they recommended. It is STUNNING. You can't really see the lace detail in the photograph but it is beautiful. The cut was perfect for my athletic but slightly hourglass frame and I was able to both play comfortably and dance all night. My husband commented many times that if he could, he would buy it for me because he loves it so much. The only con is that the fabric is a delicate satin, though it looks structured in the photo, it is not. As a result, it wrinkled and stretched as the night went on and the garment was nearly falling off of me by the end of the night (which, to be fair, was seven sweaty hours of dancing later).
