Tight on shoulder/chest.
I'm usually a 6-8 so I ordered the 8. I couldn't wear it because the sleeves wouldn't fit my upper body. The sleeves seemed to run small.

Great Fall Mustard Color
I wore this dress to a fall rehearsal dinner. It was a great fall mustard color and the dress fit nicely. The top is actually a little crop top underneath.

Super low cut/loose on top and a little see through on bottom!
I wore this dress to a rehearsal dinner. It fit great, except it was super low cut. I had to tie it in the back so I didn't fall out of it. I did not wear a bra because of the back and low cut nature of the dress. It was too large on top though. If you safety pin it, you will be fine though! My husband also pointed out far into the evening that he could see through the back of the dress! You definitely need the proper undergarmens and safety pins for this dress! I got lots of compliments though! In retrospect, I wasn't sure if it was the dress, or because it was see through! haha

A little clingy and thin for the curvy girls
I liked this dress, but it was thinner and hugged a little bit more than I thought it would. If you have a curvy lower half especially, just be aware of that!

Larger than I thought! Love it!
Lots of space. It's much bigger than I thought! I'm in love with it! If it wasn't so expensive, I'd buy it!

Beautiful vacay dress, a little short.
Love the dress, a little short for my 5'8'' self. I don't think I realized I rented the 6R. The material is thin and nice and I love the color though!

Size up!
I thought it ran really small. You're fine in the lower half because of the flow which is my larger area. Generally, I don't have a problem with fit up top. The arms/sleeves were so tight that I couldn't wear either size. I would go with the largest size you ever wear for the first size and then size up for your backup size.

Tutu Bottom Great for the Dance Floor!
It was so fun to dance in this dress. I got a TON of compliments on the color, fit and style. Can't go wrong with navy lace at a fall country club wedding!

Perfect tea party dress!
The dress was perfect for my outdoor tea party bridal shower I attended. I paired it with gold wedges, a gold and green statement necklace and an monogrammed pink floppy hat from etsy.com/shop/SorostiCUTE The dress had POCKETS which I was really excited about. The dress also seemed to fit one size small. I would definitely order the size you usually get and one size up.

Cocktail dress with a bow and pockets!? Yes Please!
This dress was perfect for a dinner event. The dress was fitted up top to give me shape, but loose on the bottom to be extremely comfortable. The bow in the middle is the perfect final touch. When I thought this dress couldn't get better, I realized IT HAD POCKETS.

Legally Blonde Party Perfection
I wore this to my law school graduation with nude pumps and pearls. It was the perfect dress for my Legally Blonde party following graduation as well. The dress runs a little big and the material is a more stretchy material instead of your typical cocktail dress material that stretches out over time. Also, if seated a lot, the material wrinkles. Overall I loved this dress and it was very comfortable.

Bling Bling!
I wore this with the Nha Khan lace and tulle gown. They were much larger than I expected (but not in a bad way). I guess I just didn't read the description when I added them into my cart but they were clip ons and VERY large. They went along with the red carpet themed even that I attended.

Paired perfectly with Nha Khan Lace Gown
I wore this with the Nha Khan Lace gown. It was perfect and comes with a long string as well to put on your shoulder. It was big enough for my phone, ID, Cash, and lipstick!

Romantic, classy and flattering fit
I usually order a size smaller as my extra, but after reading the reviews (and the availability), I went with a size up as my extra. Thank goodness, because the size that is almost always spot on in every dress (4), was tight in the butt/leg area. So tight that it was uncomfortable and pretty much impossible to sit down properly. The size up was a world of difference. I have never seen a one size difference make such a difference. The top was a little big, but overall a much better fit. I wish there was a size in between the 4 and 6 and it probably would have been perfect. The dress was so classy, but also had a great fit in all the right areas to accentuate my curves. I got so many compliments and absolutely loved everything about the dress.

Modern Little Black dress
Loved this dress. It was a nice, thick material. I got a little warm in the Florida climate, but would be perfect to stay warm during the cooler month and still look nice. This dress ran a tad small compared to most of the rentals on this site, but it still fit.

I love RTR Pro. I have about a billion weddings and other formal events to go to this year, so it will save me a TON of money. I absolutely love being a pro! I received the most awesome birthday present ever, too. A FREE dress. Literally shipped to my door for $0.00. (Not a buy something and get something free scheme like most companies do).

This dress has pockets and that's fantastic.
First of all, I was REALLY excited about the whole pocket situation. If you have never worn a dress with pockets, I highly recommend it. It's fantastic. I really loved the bright pink color, the material, and the upper part of the dress. I just didn't think the bottom half of the dress was flattering in photos. It was kind of bulky looking due to the cut of the dress. Overall I liked the dress, I just don't think I would rent it again for the same price due to the fit on the bottom half.
