Sizing fiasco but amazing customer service!

I initially received the 0P and 2P the night before leaving for an out of state wedding. I couldn't zip the 0 and the 2 was falling off and was dangerously long even with 4-5 inch heels. Customer service overnighted TWO different styles but NEITHER backup dress fit (one was too tight, one was too big)!! I decided to take my chances falling on my face and yanking up the size 2 all night. True story, it took two people 5 minutes to zip me up while I was completely confused as to why the size 2 was suddenly so hard to zip...I had accidentally taken the size 0 out of the closet! Just needed two determined people to get the zipper up! It was uncomfortably snug in the bust (probably because it was a petite) but the length was perfect for 3 inch heels.

Runs HUGE!

Customer service overnighted me this dress after my first selection didn't fit well. It was a beautiful red but didn't look like an expensive gown. Unfortunately, the dress was so large it was falling off of me. No amount of pins or fashion tape could have made it right. It was large enough that I double checked the tag wondering if I had been sent a 4 or 6. Not quite sure how other women with similar measurements managed to make this dress work! I definitely would not recommend it for smaller busts and frames.

Amazing customer service!

Customer service overnighted me this dress after a sizing fiasco with my first rental. Unfortunately it was way too snug in the chest area. Definitely size up! It worked for the best though... The bridesmaids were wearing the same dress but in a sage green color!!

Perfect dress for a perfect beach wedding

Will you probably need spanx for the hips/booty and a strapless bra? Yup. Will you show some Angelina Jolie style leg and feel dramatic with the dress flowing as you walk? Yup. Will pictures do the dress any justice? Nope! My biggest pet peeve with this dress is that it doesn't photograph well. It's a beautiful rich purple and gorgeously flows as you walk showing some serious leg but it is tame and classy while standing. My boyfriend was OBSESSED with this dress and asked me if RTR would let me buy it he loved it so much. A few people mentioned water marks being as issue. Any water (or spilled white wine!) I got on the dress did not leave any marks although I made sure to "rub out" the wet spots with a towel or napkin until it dried just in case!

This dress was made for dancing..and turning heads!

Fits like a glove giving a beautiful silhouette. Like other reviewers I could only wear 2.5 inch heels because of the high low hem, but it worked for the best! I danced ALL night in this dress. Didn't have problems with the sequins rubbing too much on my arms. I was told by several wedding goers how much they were enjoying watching me twirl and sparkle on the dance floor! I was able to wear a regular bra no problem and just accessorized with diamond earrings/bracelet and maroon pumps...looked great with the stunning deep emerald green color! P.S. RTR should implement an option to provide your venue/date to avoid showing up in the same dress as someone else (first world problems, right?)! There were several RTR patrons at the wedding and we all sought each other out advertising to other women who will probably rent now too!
