Didn't work for me.
(My normal fit is an 8.) This dress just fit me strangely. The seams on the front bunched in odd ways and it made it look lumpy and ill fitting. The dress itself fit great, it was the seaming that was the problem. I tried the 10, but that was just overall just too large, and the seaming was odd on that one as well. I ended up getting a $45 dress off Amazon in a similar style, and the quality was the same and the look was more flattering, at least for me personally.

Beautiful dress
This is a gorgeous dress, but I didn't wear it de to how much cleavage was spilling out. I knew the neckline was low, but with my size C ladies, it was just too much for me.

Stunning show stopper!
This dress is beautiful! I got so many compliments. Even though the neckline is very low, and the ladies are out there, the v-strap running up the middle keeps the look classy. This is a departure for me as far as amount of skin shown, but I felt comfortable all evening. The fit is true to size, but it is tight. I would have liked to try a size up to see what that felt like, but it wasn't available. My only area of fit issue was the rib cage area, so if you have wider ribs, that is something to keep in mind. Even with that, it was comfortable and not a deal breaker.

Crazy tight.
This dress has beautiful fabric, but WOW! If you have hips or a butt, consider sizing up at least one, if not two sizes. The fabric is tight and doesn't have any give, so be prepared.

Pretty dress, but liner was messed up
This dress narrows a crazy amount in the hip area! I rented the 8R and 10R. I couldn't get the 8R over the top of my thighs, and the 10R was so tight on the hips thanks to the inner liner that it made the dress fit really wonky. It looked jumbled and messy. It was very disappointing. I would say that if you have hips or a bum, rent the larger of the sizes you usually rent and go up from there for your back-up. Maybe if I would have gotten the 12R it would have worked? Hard to say.

Subtle sexy
I rented this dress for a company party. It was sexy, but not over the top. The women all loved it and kept asking where I had gotten it. My husband loved the see through panels. I rented the M and L, and ended up wearing the M. It fit well; not too tight, not too loose. It is a nice dress, and I would rent it again for a sexy date night.

Just beautiful!
These earrings are stunning! Even after the party was over and I had changed out of my dress, I kept wearing these! They are just beautiful and I kept getting complements from women who would see them sparkle from across the room. They are eye catching and wonderful. Not heavy at all. I wish I could have kept them, and I will rent them again!

Beautiful and Sexy!
This was a perfect sexy dress to wear for a birthday celebration with my husband. It is skin tight, so I would suggest going up a size. I rented the M and L. The M fit, but it showed all my imperfections, so I went with the L. It was still tight but it hid a bit more. It is a beautiful dress, and I would happily rent it again.

Perfect for an outdoor event
This was the perfect dress for an outdoor wedding. I ordered the M and L and ended up wearing the L because of my bust size. Even with the L, I had to wear a tank top under the dress or I would have shown off everything to everyone. It was a nice weight, which made it hang nicely and flow when I walked/danced. The white sections on the dress were not see-through, which was appreciated. I don't know if I would rent it again, but it was perfect for what I rented it for.

Fun night out.
This was not the original dress I ordered, and I was pretty disappointed that this came instead. The dress itself was fine, but when you have your heart and mind set on something else, it's a big let down. I got a size 8R and the 10L, since that is what I had ordered in my original dress. The 8R in this style was pretty short, and the armpit cut a little too much, so I had to wear the 10L. It was a bit big in the body section and the swatch of fabric over my stomach made it look bigger and puffy, which wasn't flattering, but it was worth it for the extra length and arm pit movement. Even with the arm being bigger, the sequins were digging and scratching, and I was happy to take it off at the end of the night. I did get a lot of compliments, and the hubby liked it, but I would not rent this again.

Beautiful dress!
This dress was not the original one I ordered, but it was on my hearts list, so I was happy to get it. It fit well, and accented all the right parts. Had I chosen this dress, I would have gone with the longer length. It was a bit short for me, but not horrible, and I was most likely the only one who noticed. You can't tell from my pictures, but this dress really accents the cleavage if you have a chest (it is very noticeable in the lace part of the dress), which my husband loved. Overall, I felt sexy and enjoyed wearing it. Also, I did not find the lace to be itchy, as was mentioned in some of the reviews I read. I would wear this again.

I wasn't able to wear the dress!
I was so looking forward to wearing this dress! I rented it for a formal gala, and it would have been perfect. To start, I usually wear a size 6, so I rented the 6L and 8L because the reviews said it ran a bit small. A bit small is an understatement! When I got it, I tried on the 8 first and could barely get the dress over my hips. When I finally got it there, the side zipper wouldn't zip over my rib cage. If you are thinking about renting this, I would suggest sizing up one size from your usual as your main renting size and up another from there as your back up! If I would have rented a 10 I think it would have just fit. I was disappointed, but what are you going to do? My RTR contact was very helpful and let me keep the accessories I had rented so I had something fun to wear to my event. She would have overnighted another dress to me, but my other "hearted" dresses weren't available, so I chose to wear something I already had in my closet.

Beautiful ring
I have been wanting to rent this ring for awhile, so I was very excited to get it. Pro: it is eye catching and pretty. Con: the large center stone moved around in the setting every time I moved my hand, and I was afraid it would fall out and get lost. I would not rent this ring again, but it was fun for the night.

Magical night in a magical dress!
This dress is STUNNING! I am 5'8" and a size 6, so I ordered the 6L and 8L for backup. The 6L fit perfectly in both fit and length. If you are tall and planning on wearing heels, go with the longer dress. I wore 3 inch heels, and the dress almost touched the floor. It is a beautiful dress! I felt like a queen all night and got so many compliments. Just to be aware, there are slight color differences between the 6L and 8L. The 6L sequins are a lighter green and goldish color. The 8L had dark green sequins, more of what I expected from the photo. Although I personally liked the color of the 8L more, we were going to a green and gold gala, so the color of the 6L was perfect. I had no problems with the sequins scratching my arms like some other reviews said.

Birthday date night
Wowza! This dress is great and super sexy. I honestly didn't expect much more then a pretty dress from the pictures, but I was very pleasantly surprised (as was my husband)! I ordered the M and L and while both fit, I ended up going with the L just to cover my butt a bit more. This dress hugs every curve and holds you in all the right places. I don't have a large chest, but it made it look like I did, which was nice. As mentioned above, I do have a butt, and this dress helped it look extra amazing! I would absolutely rent this dress again, and hopefully someday I will buy it. LOVE this dress!

Birthday date night
I decided to go against my usual ordering and be surprised by the mystery bling pack. I emailed customer service after I ordered and asked for silver items since I don't wear gold. They assured me they would make sure I got silver items. The earrings I got were silver and worked well, but they sent a gold purse. The purse was beautiful, but as I said, I don't use/wear gold so it stayed at home. It was disappointing to only be able to use one of the items, which is why I gave a 3 out of 5 star review. The only way I would use this feature again is if there was an option to chose silver or gold items for your package.

Birthday date night
I got this as part of the 'Mystery Bling' package option. After I ordered, I emailed customer service to let them know that I don't wear gold so please include silver/other colored items. The earrings the sent worked well and were silver, but I was disappointed to get the gold purse. While it was a pretty item, I didn't use it because of the reason above. That is also the only reason for my 3 star review. The item itself was absolutely wonderful if you like gold.

Birthday date night
I got these earrings as part of the 'Mystery Bling' option. While I wouldn't have chosen them given the option, they were cute and funky, and I liked the look they brought to the outfit. The reason I gave a 4 out of 5 star was that they made my ears itch all night. It was a relief to get them off after our date.

I felt STUNNING!
This is such a beautiful dress! The second I put it on, I felt absolutely stunning. I ordered the 8L and 10L for back-up, and ended up going with the 10L because I have hips and a butt. There is no give to the dress, so if you have hips or a butt, size up. The downside to sizing up was the dress was a little loose in the waist and bust, but it wasn't horrible or a deal breaker by any means. The dress is LONG! I am 5'8" and wore 4" heels with the dress, and it still drug on the ground a bit. Not enough to trip on, but you do notice it if you are aware. I also rented the Silver Southern Plantation Earrings and the Crystal Infinity Bracelet to go with it and they looked perfect. I was sad to send this dress (and jewelry) back! I got compliments all night, and my husband's eyes popped out of his head. He was definitely wowed.

Looked hot, sexy, but classy.
Great dress! I wanted to find one that looked super sexy but not slutty, and this fit the bill. I rented the M and L, and while both fit, I went with the L so I would have more length in the back (keeping it more classy). The hubby couldn't keep his eyes off me all night, and I kept getting compliments from the girls, and stares from the guys. I wish I could have kept it! The only reason I gave it 4 out of 5 stars was the slip under the L was more gray than nude colored like the one under the M. I am assuming this is because of the repeated dry cleanings. It was fine, but a little disappointing when I saw them side by side,

Show stopping dress!
This dress is amazing! It fits like a glove (except for the chest which ran a little large on me), and looks wonderful! I got so many compliments, some younger girls at the event even gasped, and even heard women talking about my amazing dress behind my back all night long. The color is true to the model's photo, although in some lights it looks more of a royal blue. You will definitely need shape wear because it shows any bulge in the skin. The material is wonderful! It has a thick heavy feel to it, which makes it drape beautifully. The only downsides to this dress (and the reason I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars) are the length, and the zipper. It is LONG! I am 5'8" and wore 5" heels, and I still had to pick up the dress all night otherwise I would trip/step on it. The zipper is a problem because it is too dainty for the amount of material on the top of the dress. It took both my husband and me pulling as hard as we could on the zipper to get it up, and that was even with the top part of the dress being loose on my chest. My husband thought he was going to rip the dress or break the zipper! Thankfully, we got it up after awhile, which I was very glad about because I didn't know if I was going to get to wear the dress at all. I'm happy that it worked, because I felt stunning all night!

Sexy, but subtle.
I rented this for a formal fundraising dinner. It is a very sexy (fit wise), but understated dress. It didn't have the complete "wow, everyone is going to compliment you all night" factor that other rentals had, but it fits like a glove and looks and feels great! My husband was wowed, and wished I could have kept it for longer. This dress fits amazingly, although it does ride up a little when you walk, and is short enough to be sexy without being inappropriate.
