Short Sleeves
I'm not sure if i'm just between sizes but the body of this fit great but the sleeves were too short.

Classic!
I use RTR all the time and I really loved this dress for the fairly inexpensive price point! Thankful for the reviews re: length. I'm 5'6 and went with the long length based on one review of someone who was 5'5 suggesting anyone taller would need the length. I ended up wearing the 4L because the 6R was too short (rented late, limited options!). I wore 3.5" heels. With regard to undergarments, the dress was tight enough that I didn't wear a bra or stickies. Cowl neck back was lovely. Ultimately at my size I would have been more comfortable in the 6, but I went with the tight 4 for the length. Was still able to sit, walk, dance the night away but next time I'd go with 6L!

THIS. DRESS. IS. IT!
Received this dress as a back-up as the original order was damaged, and I cannot compliment this dress enough. A comfortable fabric (heard that it is patented by the designer), interesting design, and sleek style make this my favorite RTR dress. Ever. I had a small issue of being able to see the outline of the strapless bra I wore, I might recommend getting pasties to negate the lines.

Subtly sexy!
Loved the idea of this dress. The cut-out back is stunning. Unfortunately, while the top fit perfectly, the underlay of the skirt around my thighs was just too tight. I'm not sure that sizing up would work, the skirt would fit but the top would probably be too loose. May take a chance with the medium for a fall wedding!

Beautiful but reminded me of the 80s
I rented this dress as an option for my Bridal Shower. The material, cut outs, fit, etc. makes me feel like i'm going to an 80s prom. It was very form fitting. I could have gone a size up.

Stunning
This dress was beautiful however, it took me 3 attempts to rent it without damage (first time there was a hole in the base of the zipper, second time the tulle was detached from the skirt). I would recommend that to have the long portion of the dress hit the ground with heels on, order the long length (I'm 5'6 and this worked out well!). This dress has a heavier fabric than I would have thought, so it was a bit heavy for an August wedding. Perfect for fall or even an indoor winter event!

Surprisingly comfortable
Tight fit with sequin distraction! Was a little big in the top, but snug in the hips. Subtly sexy with a deep V in the back! Received so many compliments on this dress!

Love!
Absolutely loved this dress. It was sophisticated and sleek. Wore the 4L and was the perfect length with heels. Also great because despite the detail in the shoulder you can still wear a bra!

Great color! Easy Fabric. Very flattering.
I loved this romper and wanted to wear it so badly, but it was too large! I'm 5'6 and the length of the pant was great. I wear a size 4 pant and the waste of this romper was too big and slumped down below my waste. I'll get a smaller size next time I have an opportunity to wear something like this!

So cute, but impractical for my event
Rented this dress for a day out during my bachelorette party. It was super cute, but I was concerned with the practicality of wearing this romper because the zipper was tough getting up and down - and a little tight in the waste area - so I didn't wear. It seemed a little short to me, too. But not so short that I was uncomfortable wearing it (if I was taller than 5'6 I may be concerned). I'd recommend sizing up for ease of getting in and out of the romper!

Regular length is short for this formal gown
Rented this dress as a back up for a formal wedding. I'm 5'6 and it was even too short for flats, let alone to wear heels. It's a very pretty dress and I'll considerate it next time it's available in the long option. Additionally, for a size 4 I found it to be a little baggy in the waist. Made me feel good but didn't look very good!

Great work dress
Rented this dress under my unlimited subscription for everyday work wear. If I were wearing this for a party, and not work, I would have went with the size 2 (the 4 was a little loose in the waist and hips, perfect for work but maybe would want a little more fitted for weekend wear). Initially I thought the arms were itchy, but it's not something I noticed again throughout the day.

Work wear
I ordered the 6 in this based on other reviews. I rented to wear to work so it made sense that it was a little loose - but if I was looking for a more fitted dress, I would have needed to go with the 4! This is a pull over, with no zippers, and it super comfortable to wear to work. At 5'6 - the 6R was long enough to go to my knees, very work appropriate!

Comfortable and well-fit work dress!
I ordered this dress with my unlimited subscription to change up my work wardrobe. It fit well, and the cut of the dress was very flattering. My only complaint is there were small stray pulls with string hanging on portions of the skirt. The pattern hid them well enough.

Wore this dress to an outdoor wedding in July.
This was my first time using RTR and I am very pleased! This dress in particular looked brand new and proved to be light enough for an outdoor July wedding. I surprisingly wore the smaller size, so I recommend ordering your second option smaller. Only small issue I had was to be aware of the longer length in the back when standing after sitting, it's possible to get the dress caught under the heel.
