Great understated staple!
Sized down as I wore the L first and it was too big. Need shapewear to smooth out the bumps but looks great! If it were on sale for cheaper I would buy it, but the whole point of RTR is to not wear it again!

Very large on top
This could have been very cute but the top is oversized unless you are very tall with very long arms. The shoulders don't line up with the hip portion of the dress and the arms are several inches too long.

Arms too long
If you are at all petite I would only rent DVF in petite sizes. I had two dresses of hers in my unlimited shipment and both had arms several inches two long

Fantastic Dress!!
My husband said this was my best dress rental yet! Super interesting and unique but not over the top. I don't repeat dresses but if I was going somewhere out of town I would love to rent this one again. So elegant and comfortable! The fit was great and true to size. Great length for me at 5'3".

Didn't work for me
It looks pretty but because it is not fitted it just accentuated my hips and I felt like it made me look even larger on my bottom half. I didn't wear it for the event and won't rent it again.

Gorgeous Dress!
I have watched this one for a while but never wanted to spend to rent it. SO excited when my original choice was unavailable and I got to choose this one instead! It is a total showstopper and so so pretty. I felt wonderful in it and it was truly unique, pretty, and sophisticated at the same time. Splurge on this one and you won't regret it!

Such a cute dress!
Warning - this dress is WAY more sparkly than it looks in the photo online. I didn't mind it for my event but if you are looking for a more muted black tone this one isn't it. Also, my torso is on the shorter side so the top gapped slightly in the arms/shoulders, but no one besides me noticed this. Probably better on someone slightly taller or longer torso, but a really cute dress and great for a winter evening charity function.

Way more conservative looking than the picture
The dress fit true to size, but I didn't wear it to my event because it was way more conservative in person than it appeared in the photo. I felt like a much older woman would wear this to an event, and the lace made it look matronly, not cute and fun how it appeared in the photo. I would not rent this one again.

So much better on than in the pictures or the hanger!
I really enjoyed this dress. I was nervous as it was my third option, but really needed something silver for the theme of the event I attended. I was also concerned it would look a little cheap with the all-over sequins, but the black background and mix of black and dark silver sequins really helped. I also kept the earrings and shoes black, which helped the dress shine and added more elegance to the overall look. The cut of the dress was super flattering, still showed a little curve but camouflaged my problem areas!

Not for pear shape
This dress is lovely, but even with spankx shows every flaw! At my height the length was borderline too long. The Color is more white-gold-sparkly than silver, and I needed a silver dress for the theme of the gala I was attending. I think this would be a beautiful "winter white" for a holiday event, and size up for backup!

Super Small around the ribcage
This is a beautiful dress, but I really needed to size up two sizes for the zipper to close around my ribcage. The straps are also strangely long, so unless you have a long torso be ready with pins to shorten them.

Great for work event!
I really enjoyed this dress. It's important to note that the color of the pattern is much more subtle than it looks like in the photos on the site. The gold was only visible in certain lighting, which I actually liked better because the charity function I was at was not a formal event. The sizing was great for my height and the length hit above the knee. Loved this one and really enjoy RTR!
