It's my favorite work event every year and my annual use of RTR.
All the previous reviews said this dress ran small and they were not joking. I normally wear an 8-10, which were the two sizes I rented. I ended up wearing the 10 but it JUST barely zipped up. I am pear shaped so it fit fine in my bust, was snug in the waist, and extremely tight around my butt, hips and thighs. If you have this shape too I would not suggest renting it. Luckily I rented this for a work event where I didn't have to sit down because that would have proven difficult. Also I am very fair so in pictures, as you can see, the top faded into my skin and washed me out further. Also, because the fabric was shiny the black showed any bit of stomach pouch I had. It is still a gorgeous dress that I love. I just feel like only a small percentage of women can pull that one off and feel great.

Great cut, color and pattern but thick and heavy fabric.
It's harder to remember all the details since I didn't review this right after I rented it. I remember feeling like the dress ran small in the bust and the material was heavier and thicker than I expected. Those two things made me feel like the dress was not as flattering as I'd hoped. It was still a beautiful dress but it didn't make me feel as gorgeous in it as other dresses I'd rented.

Beautiful, comfy and perfect for your summer event!
For the most part the fit was fairly true to size. Since it was only form-fitting up top you don't have to worry about the skirt being the right size. However, I am average height and the skirt touched the ground even with me in heels so if you are short this dress is probably not for you. One other note small fit issue is the length of the straps around my neck. They were too long for me to use the hooks so I tied it in a knot so they wouldn't be lose. Minus those small details which I doubt anyone other than myself noticed I loved the dress. It made me feel beautiful and comfortable for a long night of celebrating a great couple.

This was my most successful event to date!
When other reviews say this dress runs small they aren't lying. I typically wear and 8. I rented the 8, and a 12 because the 10 was already taken. The 8 was so tight I couldn't even completely put it on. The 12, two sizes up from my normal size, was a little loose on top but fit perfectly on my lower half so I suspect the 10 wouldn't have worked if I'd gotten that one. I was nervous the color of the dress wouldn't look good with my lighter tone but took a chance and was pleasantly surprised. I'm sure it would have looked better if I had a smidge of a tan but I was happy none the less. I had been eying this dress to rent for a while now and I am thrilled I finally did. When I was all made up I felt like a million bucks and it certainly helped that I got a ton of compliments on my dress. I honestly think that the way I felt in that dress is partly why my event was the most successful yet.

The look on my boyfriends face!
This is the first time I've ever worn a body-con dress and now I see what all the fuss is about. It was tight because it kept everything exactly where it should be without the use of spanx and still allowed me to breathe. The reaction I got when my boyfriend saw me in this dress was priceless!

I'm IN LOVE with this Nha Khanh dress and would recommend for anyone who wants to feel their best!
I rented this dress for a semi-formal work event. This dress made me feel beautiful and sexy all the while keeping it classy and work appropriate. I can't tell you how many compliments I received while wearing this dress and even after when people saw pictures. It fit like a glove; the lace was a great touch but my favorite part was the surprise open back. If I had the chance I would've purchased this dress and never sent it back.

Rented two dresses for a work event and ended up choosing to wear the other one because of the fit.
Although the dress was beautiful the 8, which I normally wear, felt too large. I did get a size 6 as well but that was a bit snug for my taste. However the biggest deciding factor was I felt that I was going to have a wardrobe malfunction on the side of the dress without the bow - it was cut pretty low and wasn't fitted as the rest of the dress. Since this was for a work event that just wasn't an option.

Stepping out of my comfort zone by wearing something I normally wouldn't and feeling really sexy.
Although it's fit was true to size this dress is meant to be tighter than clothes I typically wear, so it took me a while to feel comfortable going out in it. However, once I was out I was approached by a number of guys which is a-typical for me; needless to say that boosted my confidence and I had a great night.

Wear this and you'll steal the spotlight wherever you are.
I wore this to a 500 person banquet I planned. My first time using RTR, this was a treat for the months of blood, sweat and tears that went into this event. The dress fit between true to size and a little large because I typically wear a 6/8. I literally can't even count the compliments and "eyes" I got while wearing this dress. If there had been an option to buy it would be mine right now. I feel like a million bucks and that translated to a confident woman who ran an amazingly successful event. I highlt recommend this dress!
