This dress didn't wow me. I was going to a bridal shower and I didn't have anything to wear so I decided to rent a cheap RTR dress. I wanted to go with something that was true to size (I'm usually a size 6 but winter weight has me at an 8) and looked like it would look good without getting a back-up. This dress did the trick. I was actually complimented by the bride on my dress so I'm happy I got a good option. I guess I just wasn't blown away by it. It's safe and very comfortable so if that's what you're looking for, go for it!

I rented this dress for a wedding and ended up wearing my back-up dress... which isn't to say I didn't love this dress. I was torn up until the last minute which dress I would wear and went with a more colorful tone since the wedding I went to was in Miami. I feel like this dress would work as a good back-up. The length works (I'm short with a big bust so that's always a worry). The bust area has a great support, which you wouldn't think it does. It's unique and you don't need to be very skinny to pull it off. I think it's a great choice if you're going for a safer route.

This dress was sent to me as a back-up because my original dress had come back from the previous owner damaged. I'm always nervous renting long dresses because I'm short with a big bust. I fluctuate between a 6 and an 8... and I knew I'd be leaning more towards an 8 this time around. The fit and length was perfect. It was true to size and I didn't need to wear a bra with it! A side note- It fit right to the floor with my heels on. I would suggest if you're scared of it being too short, to rent the long.

So... I let fall season get the better of me and gained a few lb. I was going to a charity function and I wanted to get a dress that would hide the extra baggage and look great! I had a friend rent this dress in blue and she highly recommended it. I ordered a 6 and an 8 (I am usually a 6) and the 8 fit perfectly. The 6 was a tad too short. This dress was simple yet fun. So if you're looking for something that will look good for all body types, this is the dress!

I'm in love with this dress! I actually went in for a showroom appointment at RTR and out of all the dresses I tried on, this one was the best. I always look online at RTR's dresses and tell myself that I'm going to go for a funkier look or fun WOW dress, and I almost always come away with an LBD rental. There is something so amazing about a perfect black dress that fits you well. This dress hugs you in all the right places. It's form fitting and it's got the cute little cutouts at the top. I am usually a 6 or an 8 and my stylist put me in a small for this piece. The fabric is stretchy so I didn't even notice it was a size smaller than what I wear. Since I'm short, the small worked so much better length-wise!

I attended a charity event in NYC and rented this dress in a 6 and an 8. I had rented a similar dress for NYE (it was Theory) so I figured I wouldn't risk getting a dress that may not look as great since I had already worn one that was similar. While I did prefer the fit of the Theory dress to this one, I loved that it was backless. However, I have a large bust and I needed pasties to lift up my boobs for this dress. The 6 and the 8 fit me, but the 6 held everything in tighter. I usually fluctuate between the two sizes so I'd say that the dresses fit pretty true to size. If I had to choose between the Theory dress I wore for NYE and this dress, I would choose the Theory dress. It just held me in a lot better. However, I did feel great in this dress and I received a ton of compliments!

I wore this dress for a NYE party. I have to say that RTR never fails me when it comes to my dress rentals. After eating like crazy over the holidays, I was scared to try on a dress that would expose my bigger areas. This dress sucks it in and hugs your body in a good way. I felt amazing!

So this dress was sent to me as a replacement after Hurricane Sandy derailed my plans for a different red dress. I am SO HAPPY this was the dress I got instead. Besides the fact that it's a gorgeous red color and fit me like a glove, it accentuated my better features and hid the more unattractive ones. I didn't need spanx (which is usually a must for me). I have big boobs and this dress made them look so perky and controlled! I received sooooo many compliments. Even the wedding photographer said she couldn't stop taking pictures of my dress!! Also, the stylists were amazing in figuring out my body type and sending me a replacement dress. I had ordered a different red dress in a size 6 and I was sent a size 8 for this dress (which fit perfectly).

So I desperately needed a dress for a charity function I was attending in 3 days and couldn't find anything in the stores. I ended up choosing this dress after all the ones I had favorited were not available. My roommate pointed it out as although I wasn't crazy about the look, I got it in a size 6 (usually I fluctuate between a 6 and an 8) because that was the only size available. I ended up loving the dress. It was gorgeous in person and I got so many compliments! It fit me so well and hid all my curves!! I wish I owned this dress as I stood out at the event!!

THIS DRESS IS GORGEOUS! The model doesn't even do it justice. I have big boobs and most of my fat accumulates around my mid-section. This dress hid all my imperfections and I looked great! I got compliments all night long. I attended a work gala and found that I looked sophisticated and classy. The dress is also very sexy. The intricate lace design is gorgeous. I was worried about the length because I'm short so I bought 5inch heels to balance it out.

The dress is very fun and cute. I bought a size up and it still didn't fit. It zipped but was way too tight for me to breathe. I actually went with my back-up dress. I usually fit well in BCBG but this dress just didn't do it for me.

I rented this dress and a back-up dress, and I ended up wearing my back-up dress. I have big boobs and a bit of a stomach and love handles. The dress didn't flatter my figure at all. It looks more form-fitting in the picture.

I feel like I know what will fit me when I look at dresses on this site. I ordered this one and another dress, figuring that if anything, this dress would look fine on me if the other one didn't fit. True to all the other reviews on this site, this dress did fit me very well! I have big boobs and a curvy body and this dress did everything to make me look a lot better for NYE. All my friends complimented me on my dress and keep telling me I should buy it. Get this dress. It's so great and comfortable. The lace is amazing. Just wow.
