I've been a loyal RTR customer for years and this was my favorite rental yet! Perfect for a semi-formal wedding; comfortable and chic. I could have worn the 4 but wouldn't have been as comfortable dancing all night. Dress runs true to size. Bottom hem hit a couple inches below the knee and I am 5'8. Wish I owned this dress! Seriously obsessed and got compliments all night.

Fun and glam!
I originally ordered the 4 and the 6. I'm 5'9 with a longer torso, so although the 6 "fit" it was just too short for me. Had the 8 overnighted and it fit so much more comfortably! Super cute and can be dressed up or down

A Frenemy of a Dress
Ok, so. This dress is stunning. Gorgeous color, fantastic cut. But you HAVE to get the right size. I normally go between a 4/6. I'm small up top, small waist but have wider hips. DO NOT be afraid to size up 3 sizes bigger than normal. I ordered the 6 and the 8. The 6 I didn't even attempt to put on, the 8 fit but felt like a straight jacket and made me feel super self conscious about my stomach. RTR overnighted me a 10 (#blessed) and thank god because it fit like a glove and I could actually move in it. Didn't need to wear a bra because the material is so thick/tight. Moral of the story - lose your emotional attachment to any certain "size" and get what feels right and looks amazing!

Great dress
This is a really beautiful dress - that being said, the length was a little awkward on me. I am 5'9 and pear shaped, so it didn't fit exactly how I imagined. I am a true 4 and the medium fit very well, but was a little loose up top and it did scrunch up a little bit. I ended up being able to wear a low cut bra with straps without it showing. Definitely put this on before you do your hair/makeup as it doesn't zip all the way down. The arms do take a little bit of getting used to but were fine once I did. Photographs well!

Celebrated my birthday in this dress!
Definitely runs a little snug - I bounce between a 2/4 and rented the medium because it was the only one available. Fit perfectly but definitely put this on before you do your hair and makeup because it has to go over the head and is a snug fit. Perfect length and I am 5'9 but if you are planning to do a lot of dancing this might not be the right dress. The color is gorgeous - different shades of sequins (pure gold, rose gold, silver) so it looks fab in person and in pictures. Loved this dress!

Beautiful dress
This was a beautifully made dress! True ML! I did not LOVE it- this was not the dress I ordered for my occasion. I had to pick it three days before my event, so it definitely wasn't something I would have originally chosen. Maybe a little old for me. I'm 5'9 and it was to my knees. If it was three inches shorter it would have been PERFECT. The top is amazing and fits really well. Not too much of a difference between the 2 and 4 except a little tighter up top. I usually go for 4s because I have bigger hips but the 2 was perfect. I would still probably size up for backup.

In love with this dress!
Rented the 2 and the 4 and ended up going with the 4. The 2 is just a little bit more snug around the rib cage and I knew after drinks and food I wouldn't be comfortable in it. Length is perfect for a wedding, hit a couple inches above the knee. Just a super classy dress! Looks great with gold/nude accessories.

Love this dress!
I run between a 2 and a 4 (I have bigger hips) and the 2 fit perfectly! So fun to dance in and subtly sexy with the cutouts. Definitely wear with thin, nude undies! I wore it with a thin black bra (sticky bra malfunction) but it looked fine. Great length; not too short and a little longer than mid thigh on me (I'm 5'9 plus 3 inch heels). Fabric wasn't as thick as I expected but I would still rent again. Classy and sexy!

Love this dress!
This dress fits like a glove and is the perfect length. Wore it for an event in NYC for new years. I can wear up to a 6 sometimes but the 2 fit me perfectly. I was able to wear a regular bra with this. Love and would rent again.

So many compliments!
Loved this dress! Definitely different with the flared bottom and the sleeves but super classy. I am usually between a 2 and a 4 but rented the 4 and the 6 based on the reviews. 4 wouldn't zip but the 6 fit perfectly! Super comfortable and not too short on me (5'8). Easy to dance in and a really pretty gray color.

Definitely a standout
I wore this for a black and white themed sorority crush party! I usually run between a 2 and 4 but I didn't even try on the S because I could tell by looking it wouldn't fit. The M fit like a glove and I had no regrets about this dress! Didn't ride up too much but wasn't the MOST flattering shape on me. Would recommend

Such a classy dress
Love this dress! Peplum is fabulous. Runs a little snug so size up. I can sometimes wear down to a size 0 in looser fitting dresses but ended up wearing the 4 which was form fitting. Had to keep pulling it down because of the slit in the back so be mindful of that also. Love this dress though and would rent again!

Beautiful earrings but not what I was looking for
The dress I ordered to go with these (Slate & Willow Aileen dress) wasn't as gold toned as these earrings. They are more of a yellow gold and smaller than appear in the picture.

Got so many compliments!
This dress is so gorgeous! I actually thought it was silver in the picture but it is gold! What cannot be understated is the black lining underneath - It's a dark, grayish gold, so plan accessories accordingly! I ordered the nicole miller southern plantation earrings in gold to go with and the shades did not match. This dress definitely runs large - I usually wear a 2/4 and wore the 0! I have long legs so for the taller ladies keep in mind that this is a short dress, definitely wear some type of spanx or slip underneath! The 0 and 2 are not much different in size - the 2 was looser in my bust and waist but both fit in the hips which I was very happy about since I am more of a pear shape. The only cons were definitely the length - looks a bit longer on the model, and also the sleeves snag on the sides of the dress due to the sequins, but overall nothing unwearable! This dress is so gorg and sparkly, seriously fabulous and comfortable!
