Beautiful dress, runs a little small
I wore this to a black tie affair and Otis ordered a SR given the reviews and sizing chart. But I could not zip up the dress and breathe at the same time. I ordered a MR and an LR which arrived just in time, went w the MR. For reference, I’m 5’7” 138 lb w 32D/34D. I wore low heels b/c the dress wasn’t as long as I thought it would be and probably could’ve worn flats. Problem w the MR is that it must’ve been worn a lot as the lining was 2” longer than the actual dress, which was super embarrassing.and something that RTR should’ve evaluated prior to sending it out.

Elegant and Comfortable
I wore this for a black tie summer affair and received tons of compliments on it. It's true to size and also pretty forgiving with some stretch to the fabric. I'd absolutely rent this dress again.

Dress really stood out
I rented this dress for a summer wedding and it was perfect for the occasion. The top was a little big even with the adjustable straps and I'm a 34E bra. I would recommend this to taller ladies as I think the length is a little awkward for anyone petite as it may appear to cut off the length.

I rented this dress for a formal beach affair, however it was too tight in the chest and was unable to wear it.

Fancier than it looks.
This dress was an emergency backup to another dress. I probably wouldn't have rented this on my own accord, however, the stylist at the Flatiron location brought it out in a moment of my despair and it worked well. You can't tell by the description, but it is a low v-neck. I'm a size DD and it fit me well - even a little loose on the armpits and the back opening. I was a little self-conscious about the amount of skin, but the fabric was beautiful and I wore a blazer to cover the back. Great dress to wear in a pinch.

Versatile and stunning!
I wore this along with a lace dress to a fall vineyard wedding and loved it! You can easily wear this necklace with a button down shirt. Incredibly versatile and will definitely rent this again!

Gorgeous color, perfect for fall!
This was a beautiful dress and I received many compliments on it. I'm usually a size 4 or size 6, however after reading the other reviews and seeing the trend that the dress is tight in the arms, I went up a size and really glad I did! I have an athletic build and a size DD chest. The size 6 was too tight in the sleeves which made it difficult to move my arms so I opted for the back up size 8. The dress was a little looser than I wanted, however I was able to move my arms! If you're to rent this, I recommend going up a size of you have a larger chest or arms. I'd also pack a pair of high heels, the dress length will really pop.

A show stopper!
Like many of the other reviews, the dress is fantastic…although it does run large. I usually wear a size 6 and I'm 5' 7", which leads me to rent a long, but after reading the other reviews, I stuck with a 6 Regular and very grateful for that! The dress is very long and it runs a bit big. I have a size 34E bra and there was some unexpected room on the top! The dress has a beautiful flow to it and it is incredibly comfortable. I received a ton of compliments on it and will probably rent the dress again, in a size 4.

beautiful and felt great.
I planned to wear this to a black tie wedding in NYC and I wore if for a little while before having to switch into my back up. After reading the other reviews, I decided to order the 6L (I'm 5'7" and wearing 3 inch heels). The 6L was way too long and I kept tripping over it. Other reviews also mentioned that the top was huge, but I thought if felt perfectly - then again, I'm a little bigger than a D chest, so take that into consideration. I would consider renting this again, but in the 6R.

Super comfy and very flattering
I wore this to a black tie wedding in NYC and it was incredibly comfortable and I certainly stood out in a sea of black. Like other reviews have mentioned, the zipper is a little awkward, its in the back, but it feels like it should be a side zipper. If your double jointed - you can get the zipper all the way up, ha! There's a bit of a stretch in the fabric which made it easy to dance in and the length was great. I'm 5"7 and wore the long with 3" heels and it was perfect. All in all, I would definitely wear this again.

Appropriate for any occasion
I rented this dress for a day into evening wedding at a country club and it was a perfect fit for the occasion. It fit true to size and the pockets were very subtle. Sometimes when you wear a dress with pockets they tend to protrude from the dress making it look awkward and this did not at all - it was perfect to hold my lipgloss. I have a larger upper body and the sleeves fit great. I highly recommend this dress and will definitely rent this dress again.

Sexy, but subtle
I wore this to a work event which was rather conservative and received many compliments on it. The color is beautiful and very flattering for all skin tones. The dress was somewhat fitted, but there is a nice stretch to the dress that makes it really move with your body and not constricting at all. I will most likely rent this dress again.

I wore this to a fundraiser and I chose to wear the larger size because my bust is on the larger size. The fit was perfect and the dress is incredibly comfortable. The fabric was incredible. I highly recommend this dress and will most likely rent it again.

Super comfy and got lots of compliments!
I rented both a size 6 and a size 8 b/c I have a large bust and haven't worn this designer yet. The 8 was perfect for the bust and I got a TON of compliments on it. The dress is brighter than it shows in the picture - but such a gorgeous blue! I danced all night and it was very comfortable.

Beautiful, but awkward fit
I rented this for a wedding, but ended up wearing something else. It's a beautiful dress, but the fit was a little odd. what you can't see in the photo is that it is super puffy on the skirt, but then the hem comes close to your body. Hard to explain, but it just didn't make the cut this time around.

You stand out in a sea of black gowns!
I love love love this dress. I wore this to a black-tie event and received so many compliments on this dress. I usually don't like to stand out and wear a neutral color, but I couldn't resist this one. I may order a 6R the next time around b/c this was a little too long and I wore 4" heels (I'm 5'7").

I wore this to the office holiday party and it was a huge hit. I usually wear a size 6, but after reading the other reviews, I ordered a size 4 and it fit perfectly. It's also incredible comfortable which is key for me. I will definitely be renting this dress again!

Sassy!
I honestly didn't think that this dress was going to fit me because it looks very form fitting. I have a large bust so I have a hard time finding dresses that flatter without showing too much. It ended up fitting perfectly - I felt like a 1940's pin-up and I received a ton of compliments on it.

I rented this for a cocktail party and it was very comfortable, but it wasn't really flattering for my shape. I decided to wear another RTR dress for the event. Still a beautiful dress though!

Not for the long legged.
I dont' think that I'm very tall, but I realize that I'm a little above average. I rented a size 6 which is my usual size, and it fit perfectly...except for the length of the dress...way too short! Let's leave a little to the imagination. The dress was probably the most comfortable dress I've ever worn, but I decided not to wear it because it was way too short. I would definitely recommend this for anyone under 5'5" the tallest. Or if you really want to show off the gams!

Comfy and compliments!
I rented this as a back up for an outdoor wedding and chose to wear this instead. It was incredibly comfortable and the color was a perfect red with blue undertones. I usually wear a size 6 and it fit perfectly. If you are between sizes, I would go up one, though- it was form fitting. Another warning, if there was a strong breeze...I would be pulling off (ahem, not really!) an Angelina. Quite a thigh show. That being said, the dress was fabulous and I will definitely rent again - for an indoor event.

You can't help but twirl!
I had the opportunity to try this on at the RTR Showroom and was immediately obsessed. It fit like it was made for me and made up any excuse to rent it! I wore it to a house party and received a lot of compliments on it. One said that it looked vintage, but with a modern twist. I'm 5'7" and it hit me right below the knee - anyone shorter may want to rethink this because it may cut off at an awkward length.

I wore this to a formal beach event and it was a perfect dress. I received so many compliments on it and it was also incredibly comfy. I wore it with a small heel and it worked well with the length of the dress.
