Stunning dress, but snug at the bottom.
I LOVE this dress and was so disappointed when RTR didn't have a size 8 available to ship with the 6 (which would have fit my perfectly). This dress is absolutely stunning and so perfect for a wedding. Unfortunately it's cut a bit small in the hips/butt/lower portion, and the material is a bit too thin to wear it if it's too tight. I will definitely be trying to rent this again in an 8 for another wedding this year!

Dress photographed beautifully and was stunning, but also wedding appropriate.
Definitely more fitted through the waist and hips. The bodice had more room, though I also only wear an A cup, so that is probably part of it. I also liked that the sleeves weren't too tight, as I have an athletic build and muscle in my shoulders. I got tons of compliments on this dress. It was fitted and beautiful, but also wedding appropriate.

So sexy!
I got this dress as a backup when my first choice dress was unavailable. I'm a very true size 6, and this dress was TIGHT. Like really tight. It looks fantastic on, but I would highly recommend sizing up. I'm a 34A, so I didn't wear a bra with this and everything was fine. However, if you're the kind that needs a bra, definitely size up and look for something that won't show through the dress because you'll see every lump and bump.

Beautiful sparkles!
This dress was sent to me as a backup when my first choice dress was unavailable. I really liked the fit of the dress, was true to size and very flattering. The dress is definitely more burgundy than red, but it looks great on!

Adds the illusion of having a waist!
This dress is tight, but squeezes everything in the right way :) I love the detailing at the shoulders and the waist as it really creates the illusion of an hourglass figure.

Average
This dress was sent to me as a backup option when my original dress was unavailable. It was good but not great. Very simple, and would be cute on someone under 5'8. At my height (6'0) the pleats just didn't hit at the right spot and made my hips and rear look wider than usual.

Perfectly sized clutch for a black tie
This clutch had just enough room for my phone, lipstick, credit cards, and some gum. Looked great in pictures and was surprisingly light.

Stunning colors!
While I really liked this dress, I didn't love it. I'm a very standard size 6, and I ended up wearing the 8 in this style to get more length. At 6'0 I wore flats under the dress and it was JUST long enough. The only downside to wearing the 8 vs the 6 was that the darts in the bust were WAY too big for me, so I had to improvise a padding situation to fill out the dress. Once I got the fit down, it looked much better. If you're small up top, this dress is a little harder to pull off because it's apparent that the bust isn't filled. But, the orange skirt is very flattering, so it evens out. Also, I ended up steaming this dress multiple times to try and get the wrinkles out, and it was still a bit wrinkled. Even with all of those things, I still got a ton of compliments on the dress and had a great time wearing it.

Really flattering dress that looked great in pictures! Conservative but also sexy.
This dress fit great. The under slip functions similar to Spanx, and the lace overdress was perfectly fitted. The sleeves were a little bit short on me, but I'm almost 6'0 tall. If you're more busty (I'm a 34A on a good day) the slip might be a little tight up top, but it worked great for me with a padded bra. Highly recommend renting this one!

Great simple piece that didn't slide up my arm like most bangles.
Definitely on the smaller side, which worked for me since I have small wrists. Very simple, but elegant and somewhat unexpected.

Great top that stood out among the crowd! Got compliments all night!
I ordered a 6 and an 8, but wore the 8. I'm small busted, but tall. The shoulders fit fine on both sizes, but the 8 was just slightly looser, which looked better with the bare midriff. It's definitely shorter in person than on the model. I thought because I'm smaller busted it would be longer on me, but no such luck. It actually looked better with a heavily padded bra based on the way it's cut. Overall I'd recommend it, but definitely size up.

This dress is wonderful. The cap sleeves add a great detail, and it photographs beautifully.
Fit was true to size, love the lace detailing. Nothing bad to say about this one!

Fantastic, fun dress for a night out in NYC!
The dress definitely runs on the larger side, and is not one to show off your curves. That said, it's a very fun, trapeze type dress that works best for women with smaller busts. I got a lot of compliments on the dress and the material is absolutely beautiful.
