Color and Shape are Just Incredible
I loved this dress. It might be my favorite RTR of all time. If I wasn't obsessed with not repeating, I'd just rent this again and again. Wore it to a barn wedding last May. The top is tight, and you just have to size to the bodice because of the flowy skirt. It was just so beautiful and unique. I don't usually go for this length but it turned out great.

Felt like a Princess
I had ordered a gown that just didn't work for a formal wedding in NYC, so I had to run to the flagship store and pick another. This one was just gorgeous. You have to put it on. It really felt like I was in a fairy tale :) I almost wish this would have been my actual wedding dress for my own wedding. It's incredibly flattering.

Beautiful
I've been eyeballing this dress for a long time and finally pulled the trigger. It is beautiful and very much like the photos (no surprises here.) The top is tight and that's the only part you really need to size to. I was able to wear the smaller size and the tightness worked well because you don't want to wear a bra. As others said it does get tight around the neck. However I put it on probably around 2pm and didn't take it off until after midnight, and only then was it starting to bother me. I'm really glad I rented it. A bunch of other women at the wedding asked me about it and recognized it from this site. It was a big hit and so fun to dance in!

Exactly as Pictured
I did not end up wearing them, but they are just as pictured here. I really liked them but they did not go with my other dress. They are slightly larger than I was imagining but only VERY slightly. Too bad I didn't get a chance to wear them.

Beautiful and Fun
I picked these out in the flagship store. I was in a rush and had no idea they were Jenny Packham. I wore them with ML MONIQUE LHUILLIER Fallen Rose Petal Gown. The gown is blush pink tulle, very flowy and feminine. These earrings were a great way to add a more modern touch but still tie in the lovely light pink notes. I wore my hair up to showcase them a little more. With hair down it might have been a little trickier to really see them.

SO SAD but couldn't wear it :/
This dress was beautiful but I was unable to wear it and had to exchange for another. It looked extremely flattering in all the photos on this site. For my shape, it just didn't work. As others have said, the hip and butt area is very tight. You need to size to this area of your body for the correct fit. However this dress is best for ladies who are a similar size all over. The hip area fit me but the waist was much too big at that point and the excess fabric looked pretty strange. It is really flattering on others but for serious hourglass figures with a big difference between hip and waist, you might run into the same problem.

Just like all my other rentals, I did NOT want to give this dress back.
I rented a 2 and a 4 after reading up on the dress. I planned to wear the 2 but was lucky I had the 4. I had a 3mo at the time and it was my first outing after having him. Unfortunately my 'girls' and extra padding in the tush region would not have fit into my normal size 2, so I went with the 4. The dress does have a little bit of stretch. I wore it with shorter heels so that it would drape long, all the way to the floor. I loved the detail of the sleeves. It's a beautiful dress. You won't regret it.

The looked and felt like great quality.
They were just slightly bigger than I was picturing, in a good way. They were a really nice statement for a vintage affair I was going to. I loved the look and feel and they didn't get heavy.

These were beautiful and completely worth the $
I wore these to a wedding with the Zac Posen dress in the photo. They were perfect together. These earring are large - make an "okay" sign with your hand and they are the size of the circle formed by your pointer finger and thumb. They are heavy also! But they did not bother me during the night and I wore them for hours. They feel and look luxurious. I was hesitant to rent jewelry but when else do you get to wear Oscar de la Renta and feel like a movie star :)

Oscar de la Renta
Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 5"
This gown was perfect for a December wedding! I got so many compliments for my first RTR.
In formal dresses I wear anywhere between 2 and 6. I ordered a 2 and 4 and the 2 was too tight, the 4 was just right. It might run a little small on top, but with the flared skirt the bottom is forgiving. I wore it with a longline bra and had no issues with slippage. I wore it with the Oscar de la Renta earrings pictured here. I only wish there were more photos of the night! The fabric is textured and thick, so it was good for a cold night and feels high quality (as others have said, it is more matte maroon than a glossy red.) My only problem was that the dress I got was starting to look a little bit worn. But that was probably a detail that only I noticed - everyone else said I looked fantastic! Would wear again to a similar occasion.
