Very tight and low cut
This dress gets the dubious distinction of being my first RTR rental to not work out. In terms of sizing, I typically wear an 8, but the medium was so tight I would have had to suck my gut in all day if I'd worn it. The V neckline was incredibly revealing--and I don't have a large chest (36B). Fabric tape wouldn't have solved the problem. It just showed a lot of cleavage, bottom line. It was also oddly long, with the hemline falling below my knees (and I'm 5'10"). Perhaps it'll work for you, but it was a hard pass for me.

Perfect for an outdoor wedding
This was a back-up dress I received after my first didn't fit. I wore this to my aunt's outdoor wedding and it was the perfect choice. The temperature happened to be in the 90s that day, so the dress was a little hot as the fabric doesn't breathe well, but the sizing was spot on for my height and weight. I also enjoyed the pockets for stashing my phone, powder and lipstick. As we were leaving the luncheon reception, one of the groom's relatives commented that she'd been eyeing my dress and that it fit me perfectly. Always great to hear!

Stood out in a sea of black and blue gowns
I rented this dress for my boyfriend's Marine Corps Birthday Ball and the color was absolutely perfect! I received many compliments throughout the night. The dress runs a bit large and is cut very low in front, so I had to use a couple of straight pins to make it not so revealing. Also, if you're tall like me, the L is not that long (which meant I wore flats instead of heels). Don't worry about the slit because it only shows when you're walking. All in all, it was a great rental. Highly recommend!

Perfect for a chic fall wedding
I loved this dress! I wore it to my friend's October wedding and didn't want to take it off. The SL fell perfectly to the floor with flats (I'm 5'10"). I liked being able to wear a regular bra with it, and I did opt for Spanx underneath like other reviewers suggested. The dress is fitted so perhaps you'd want them, too. I also took a cue from the model's styling and wore a top knot with a gold bracelet. It was perfection!

Great color and fabric!
I wore this dress to my final Junior League meeting of the year. The red was really eye-catching as was the material. However, I found this dress to run very small. I'm typically a size 8 and had difficulty sitting in the size 10. It was tight right in the stomach area where you need a little slack after a meal. As such, I could have easily worn a 12. It was also a tad short on someone tall like me (I'm 5'10").

Modest Yet Elegant
This dress was a replacement for my original RTR pick that came back damaged. I was a little nervous to wear it as most of the other reviewers chose this for engagements or elopements, but it ended up being a lovely selection for my boyfriend's Marine Ball. It was true to size and didn't feel tight anywhere. It was also cut in a way that I didn't have to suck in my gut all night or wear Spanx--a bonus! Plus I could wear a regular bra with it, too. I loved the lace top, especially around the neckline. One tip: If you're tall like me (I'm 5'10"), I wore flats and the 8L skimmed the ground perfectly. It definitely would have been too short had I chosen to wear heels.

Fun and Eye-catching Party Dress
I'm a PRO member so this was my free birthday rental that I used for dinner with a group of friends. I wanted to stand out as a birthday girl and this dress fit the bill. It ran true to size and didn't feel tight in any areas. I definitely felt glamorous waltzing into the restaurant in this! My only reason for giving it four stars would be the sequins feeling scratchy in the underarm area--and I figured this would be the case as I've worn sequined dresses before. Otherwise it's a great dress to make you stand out in a sea of LBDs.

Perfect dress for a wedding VIP!
I was one of two readers for my friend's June wedding and wanted to blend in with the bridal party (who were wearing long dresses and tuxedos) but not look too much like a bridesmaid. This dress was the perfect choice. I typically wear a size 6 or 8, so I ordered both to compare as I've never worn this designer. Both dresses fit but the 8 gave me a bit more room for dancing. As a tall woman, the long was great in that I wore 3" heels for the ceremony without feeling the dress was too short, then switched to flats for dinner and dancing without ever thinking I would trip on the dress. I received compliments all night long and didn't want to take the dress off. A fantastic experience overall!
