Didn't end up wearing due to fit
I'm 5'6" and curvy. I ordered the 8R but it was way too short (stopped at my ankles). Disappointing.

Perfect for the occasion
I wore this to a fancy birthday brunch. It wouldn't have been a dress that I would purchase, but it was perfect for the event. Bonus! It had never been worn. Arrived to me new with tags! The color is vibrant and the material slightly heavy. I found it did wrinkle quite a bit (second pic from the end of the day). True to size, but if in between sizes, size down. Fabric doesn't have a ton of give but it didn't exactly fit like a glove and I'm a true 6.

Would have loved to wear!
This color is unexpectedly perfect. I have naturally semi-olive/tan tones and orange is typically a go to for me, but not necessarily this shade. It was gorgeous on! Plus the style body-con/sheath is what I normally gravitate towards. While I read plenty of reviews to size-up, I didn't size up enough. I'm a true 6 and while the 8 zipped, it was just too tight. Not suitable for the birthday brunch I was attending where lots of indulgences would be occurring. Definitely want to rent again!

Best Birthday Dress EVER
This dress is so special. I rented for my birthday party and never felt more special in a dress. The sparkles are over the top. Received so many compliments from friends and strangers. I ordered my normal size (6) and one size up. I have a lot of hip, butt and thighs and while the 6 zipped I preferred the fit of the 8. More of a shift style and since it was a short dress it made the most sense. I did feel like it was a little "sharp" due to the sequence but no one seemed to mind!

Nice, but not my favorite rental
I'm somewhere between a Small and Medium usually. The small I didn't even try on because there is no way it was fitting. The Medium was fine, but just ok for me. The shirt is cut pretty low, making it a little risque for a conservative office. The length is nice, but I felt like the top wrinkled more than it should. All in all it stands out and is flattering for a date or dinner out with friends.

Perfect Dress!
I knew I would love this dress from the second I saw it online. The fit was great for my hourglass shape and it was perfect for the occasion. I received so many compliments. My only slight issue was the neckline. I probably should have gone sans bra, but I wanted that extra support. You could (kind of) see my bra, but it was nude and Mardi Gras and while no one seemed to mind, I did mess with it a few times throughout the night. Also, I didn't think this was too long by any means. I wore a 3" heel and the dress was a little long, but I also changed in to flats relatively quickly and had no issues dancing/walking around.

Perfect Special Touch
I saw these earrings on another reviewer in the same dress I rented and HAD to have them for my occasion. I was sure I wanted pearls and these were just perfect. I received so many compliments. My only worry was that they would fall off/out because the hinge didn't seem too secure, luckily they both survived a crazy night of dancing.

vavavoooooooom. Prepare for stares.
I typically wear a 6 and only a medium was available so I went for it. The straps were a little long for me which resulted in quite a bit more cleavage than I was prepared for, but hey it was NYE. Fit was majorly curve-hugging. Got lots of "WOW" compliments and all in all I was pretty comfortable.

Reviewing for a friend with a smaller frame on top
Fit through the waist and hips was good, but didn't have enough on top to fill it out. Couldn't be worn with a bra in my case.

Perfect for hosting my Holiday Party
Dress fit like a glove. I know sheath's always work well for me, so I had a feeling based on the limited reviews that it would work. I got several compliments on the dress and I felt great in it even though I didn't think it photographed very well. The sleeve are a little constricting for posing purposes. All around, perfect for the occasion and loved the way it hugged my curves.

VERY VAVA
I rented this dress for my friends birthday party. I wanted something fun and sexy and this dress was definitely it! It is curve-hugging, so be ready to flaunt what you got! I loved how the back was mesh so it was revealing but not over the top. As other reviews said, the zipper can bunch, but it wasn't that big of a deal for me. Also to note, the dress isn't lined so be prepared with the proper undergarments. I chose to wear a regular black bra. Even though you could see it through the mesh, I didn't mind. I would definitely consider buying this one!

Pretty color, not super flattering for hourglass girls..
I was kind of in a pinch -- Recently gained a little weight and nothing in my closet was fitting fabulously. With a fall wedding looming I of course turned to RTR because I had a good experience with my first rental (also when I was in a pinch). I wasn't sure of my size so based on reviews went with a 6 and 8. The sleeve felt the same in both honestly. It's a tight-ish fit across the shoulder and bust just due to the cut. I could move my arms reasonably, but dancing was slightly awkward. You can even tell in the picture with my hand on my hip it's pulling at the bust. Honestly I did not love the fit. It took a lot of encouragement for me to even consider wearing this dress at all. I felt like it made me look short and wide from the front -- NOTE this dress has pockets which always add bulk to my hips, never a good thing when you have mega-hips. I added the belt for some waist definition and the side braid to help elongate my top half slightly. I did get a few compliments but all in all I didn't think this was the best look for me.

Good Fit, great color, happy to rent and not own
This was my first RTR experience and as many other reviewers said, I wanted to go with a safe fit. I'm curvy through the middle and my waist is my smallest part, so I figured I could choose true to size. I felt the dress hem (rented the regular based on other reviews) was a little shorter than I was expecting, but it worked out ok. I wore 2.5" heels and the hem was about an inch or so off the floor. Overall the dress served the purpose I needed. I was in a pinch and was glad to not spend the money on a dress that I would likely not wear again.
