Odd fit for me but still beautiful
Based on reviews, I sized up for my back up size. I needed a 10 regular but I had to order a 10 long for the back up size. The 8 regular fit in the bust area but was too tight in the hips. So I wore the 10 long but it was a little big in the bust but it was more comfortable than the 8 regular. Wore this to a masquerade ball & received many compliments! It’s a gorgeous dress! Just odd fit for me.

Liked it very much but didn't love it..
I am 5'3, 118 pounds & a 32DD. Size 2R was perfect! I wore a strapless bra and 3 inch heels. The length was perfect. It didn't drag on the floor, just barely skimmed it. I did step on the tulle underneath a few times. I also added a thin belt to add a little something to the dress. The zipper was a bit hard to grasp but nothing major. I received compliments all night! I would not rent this dress again but I would recommend this dress to anyone needing a gown.

You will not regret renting this dress!
I loved this dress! Many people, including some men, asked me about this dress! It's more beautiful in person. The only problem I had was that it was a bit snug on my breast (32DD) but it wasn't uncomfortable. I'm 5'3, 118 pounds and the size 2 fit better than the 4.

Unforgettable Lady in Red Dress
This dress is perfect for a military ball. It fits true to size. I will say that there is NO give in the waist. Perfect for woman with large breasts. I did not notice that the back is mesh so you can't wear a bra. So if you have large breasts, tape your breasts together or wear a nubra bra. I am 5'3, wore 4 inch heels and the dress barely skimmed the floor. I would absolutely recommend this dress! It's a showstopper!

Gorgeous Dress!!
This dress is awesome! I rented this for a military ball. I received so many compliments! One lady stopped me and said "I've been waiting for someone to have a dress that would stop me in my tracks and you have BY FAR the best dress of the evening!" I couldn't help but blush. I had many ladies ask me where I got the dress and I directed them to Rent the Runway. The sequins did not bother me at all. My husband did tend to walk behind me so that no one would step on the back of the dress because there is a small train. This dress fit me like a glove. For reference, my measurements are 34-27-36. I wore 3 inch heels and it was the perfect length. The front of the dress skimmed the floor as I walked and there is a small train in the back. I would absolutely recommend this dress.

Not what I expected.
I rented this for a formal dinner. It was not what I thought it would be. First, this dress fits really snug. That would have been ok if it were easy to walk in. For some reason, the material was REALLY staticy (is that a word?) and clung to my legs. Second, the adhesive around the top of the dress was peeling. At first, I didn't know what it was that I found on my skin until I unzipped the dress and saw it all over the inside of the dress. It was very disgusting. I immediately called for a replacement.

Meh...
When I saw this dress on this site, I thought that it was a show stopper! When I received it and put it on, I just didn't really care for it. My husband approved it before I purchased it but even when he saw me in it, his eyes didn't light up like they normally do. It's not a bad dress. I just didn't feel pretty in it. I did receive compliments all evening. But I still didn't really care for it.

Stunning!
This bangle set is really gorgeous! I have small arms and they were a bit big so I didn't wear all of the bangles that came in the set. I think there were 8 bangles total. They were a bit difficult to put on as well. The opening is a bit small or I had to really squeeze my hands through them. (my hands are average size for a woman my size.) If you want a lot of bling, this is the right bangle set for you!

I was told that my dress was like no other in the room and that I looked like a princess.
This dress is beautiful! I loved the way that it flowed as I walked. My husband told me that I looked like a princess in it. The color is a bit hard to describe. It's like a dull silver color I guess. I gave this dress only 4 stars because it does run small so I rented a 4P as my back up. The 4P gave me a little more wiggle room but it was too short. So I squeezed in the 2R. When I wore the 2R, it didn't give "the girls" enough room so I wore it without a bra. There's boning on the inside so that helped hold the girls up all evening. I probably won't rent this again but I really did enjoy wearing this dress.

Amazing "go to" dress*
I absolutely LOVED this dress! I wore this to my husband's promotion ceremony. I received SO many compliments! It was the perfect dress for the occasion. I will say that it was a little snug over my breast. (I wear a 32DD or a 34D). I tried on the size 2 and although it fit perfect around the girls, the waist was too wide. So I went with the 0. I would definitely rent again.

Gorgeous!
This dress was a backup that I didn't wear. Although this dress is very beautiful, it wasn't what I wanted for the event that I was attending, which was a Mardi Gras themed party. It fits true to size. A little room in the waist. There is a slip underneath that kept showing for the 10 minutes that I had the dress on so I would imagine that I would have been pulling dress down all night. This is why I gave it a 4 star rating. The shiny lace overlay is very pretty. I would wear subtle jewelry with it like some pearls. Anything else may be too much. Pair with black sandals or pumps.

Comments GALORE!!
The dress I wanted was too small so I sent it back & with the help of a stylist, Serena, I decided on this dress. I wore this dress to a Mardi Gras themed fundraiser and I received compliments ALL night! My hubby loved this dress as well! Im 5'4 so it stopped right above my knees. The only reason why I didnt give this a 5 star rating is because the sequins tugged on my tights all night so i had to repeatedly pull down the slip underneath so the sequins wouldnt completely ruin my pantyhose. So if you want to wear this DO NOT WEAR PANYHOSE! Other than that, I would definitely recommend.

This dress is gorgeous!
This dress would have been perfect for the fundraiser that I wanted it for. The material is thick, which is something that I wanted for winter in NY. The length was perfect (I'm 5'4) so it hit right at my knee. There are zippers on the sleeves and in the back so that you can adjust it to your liking. It's very classy, which was what I needed for the fundraiser I was attending. The only thing was that I needed a 2 and it wasn't available so I asked a stylist if she thought a 0 would work. She said yes so I ordered it. I was taking a leap of faith hoping that it would fit and it didn't. This dress is VERY fitted. It will hug ALL of your curves. I could get it on and zip it up but it was a bit uncomfortable. So I would say that this dress fits true to size. As a back up, size up. I returned it and switched it for another dress. I'm giving it a 5 stars bc it was a great dress. I knew that it was too small and ordered it anyway.

Amazing!
This dress is AMAZING! I wanted something that covered all of my tattoos for a military ball and something that would keep me warm in the month of JAN in NY. All night long people commented on how gorgeous I was! I am 113 pounds, 5'3 and a half (I claim 5'4), and my measurements are 34-25-36. I usually wear between a 0-4. This dress ran true to size. I was VERY pleased with this dress! Would rent again if I needed it.

A little disappointed...
I had very high hopes for this dress. I had to got to a military formal with my husband. I have a lot of tattoes & the event was in February so I wanted something long with long sleeves so i thought this dress would be it for me. One good thing about this dress is that it does show off your curves. Now for why I was disappointed. 1) It's a bit snug. Majority of the time I wear a size 2. I was forced to have PERFECT posture in this dress. 2) It's short! If a dress is catagorized as floor length, it needs to be just that. I'm 5'3 & a half the 2R was floating above my ankles! Good thing I ordered a 2L! Even the 2L was too short for me. I had to wear 2 inch heels, which I hate, & you could still see all of my shoes! Before I ordered it, I chatted with a stylist & asked her opinion if I should get a regular or long. she recommended that I get the regular. Good thing I didnt listen to her! If you want the dress to be an actual floor length & you are taller than 5'4, I strongly recommend getting the XL.3) The stitching was a bit awkward. It was very itchy around the neck. 4) I didn't like the hem at the bottom. It looked almost cheap. I didn't have a choice but to wear it since you don't get it till the day before the event. All in all, it was ok. Not completely satisfied. Not sure if I will order from RTR again.
