Pretty and comfy
Definitely size down. I usually rent a 2 and 4 and go back and forth on which size I wear, but after reading reviews I got a 2 and 0 for this dress and wore the 0. Other than the vanity sizing, loved this for an outdoor wedding. Easy to wear, dance in, etc. "It has pockets!" Trendy midi style and very pretty in person. I got several compliments on it. Wish I owned it!

Practical & versatile
I used this for 2 back to back events, and it went great with both dresses. It easily fits an iPhone 7, plus ID, cash, and a tube or two of lipstick. Great rental!

Great dress for a wedding. It has pockets!! I'd imagine you'd want to size up if you have a chest at all. NormallyI'll wear a 2, but (had it not been ripped) I would have worn the 4 with this particular dress because this baby is SHORT. The other reviews don't lie. The "waist" on this dress is higher than a natural waist, so it looks longer in pictures than it actually is. Sitting down was uncomfortable. Other than that, good experience as always and I will be back for more.

Great for a fall wedding!
Such an easy dress! True to size, good length, good shape, and POCKETS! I ordered this for a fall wedding and even though it turned out to be 70 degrees that day, I loved the sleeves. The low back was great, would go well with an up-do. A strapless bra would work well with this, but I wore a nude bra with straps for the lift factor, and none of my girlfriends noticed when I pointed it out.

Would not recommend
I received this dress as a backup for the dress I originally ordered. Luckily my other option fit, because this was wrong on many levels. This dress runs small. Every dress I've rented from RTR has fit me in a 2, so that is what they sent me for this dress. I would've needed a 6 probably. It is also short. At 5'5", the regular length exposed my full foot without shoes. I don't mind a bit of stretch in a formal dress, but the amount of stretch in this dress made it feel cheap. I did like the neckline though!

Great Formal, Conservative Dress
This dress was great for a military dining out. It is understated with just the right amount of sparkle, and it is fitted all the right places. I am just over 5'5" and wore 3 inch heels and the toe just peaked out. Perfect length. The top is small, which happened to be great for me, but if you have a larger bust or broader shoulders I'd size up. I really loved it and it felt very Hollywood. I only knocked one star because it is not the most exciting dress in the world, but perfect for a conservative setting. (As others have stated, it looks better in person!)

Customer Service All-Stars.
Sizing info (skip to next paragraph for why RTR is the BEST): Yes, this dress runs long. I wore 3 1/4 inch heels and still had to hike the front up to walk. If I ordered it again I'd wear higher heels or order a short. I ordered my 2nd size in a size down since my top half is smaller than my bottom, which turned out to be the right decision. I also wasn't so sure about bright red chiffon in December, but I think the festive color makes it work in a few seasons. Despite the length, it was the perfect dress for the occasion! The REAL reason for my review. I ordered this for Thursday-Sunday for a Saturday night event. The dress made it to my city on time, but due to high volume at the local UPS hub (or WHATEVER) it was shipped 3 hours away, not to be delivered until Monday. After a few unsuccessful phone calls with UPS on Friday morning, I called RTR to let them know the dress would be returned late and to maybe get a refund. Without question, they ask if my event was Friday night. Since it was Saturday night, they offered to overnight my 2 sizes to the location of the ball and intercept the original package so I didn't have to worry about sending it back. Amazing. The dress made it to the hotel with 2 hours to spare, ready to wear. I am currently recommending RTR to anyone and everyone who will listen.
