Runs at least two sizes too small!

This dress was ridiculously small. Depending on the brand/label/designer, I can order the smallest size and it will fit or rarely still be a little loose. Based on reviews I tried the XS (I'm 5'2 and 114 lbs when I tried this dress on) and I could barely get into it and definitely couldn't even zip it up. I suspect I would've needed to order at least two sizes up. My husband even said he thought I was accidentally sent a kids' dress!

Mermaid silhouette and pretty lace but dress showing age and also kept slipping down in front

The shape of the dress accentuates your curves and the black and nude lace is pretty. However, the dress is starting to show some wear with the lace coming apart in some areas. I'm 5'2" and with 4" heels, the length was good but the inside fabric kept getting caught on my shoes though so be careful when walking. I wore the 2 and did not need to wear Spanx. I am small-chested but even with double-sided tape, the bust kept slipping and my bra kept showing and I had to pull up the dress multiple times throughout the night.

Great fit with so many compliments!

Thought this dress was going to be too much (too bright, too formal) but I got so many compliments the day of and even afterwards from the pictures. It was more red than orange, slit was not too high, and super comfortable! The only drawback was that I'm 5'2" and the dress was still a little too long and dragged even with the 4" platform heels on.

Beautiful comfortable dress

Rented this dress for my wedding rehearsal and got a lot of compliments. It matched my wedding invitations which were white on kraft paper. It was light and comfortable on a scorching hot day. The 0 fit well. I'm 5'2" and 115 lbs. Another winner from Jay Godfrey!

Perfect fit and I felt like a princess

I rented this dress for my engagement shoot. It definitely is different from any dress that I've ever worn so I was pretty nervous about it. My previous experiences with RTR were lackluster as the dresses were usually too big. But this time, thank god the fit was perfect (except that it was a little long even with heels as you can see in the picture it still flares out). I'm not sure the petite was an available option at that time but that probably would have worked out better for me in terms of the length. And this dress in particular made me feel like a princess! The black lace is lightweight and beautiful and the layers of tulle were gorgeous! Would highly recommend this dress!

Too big!

Wow, this XS did not fit at all. I was swimming in it. My friend who told me she would never fit into my XS dress tried it on and it fit her like a glove! She said the sequins scratched her arms though so not the most comfortable. Too bad this didn't fit me. If it fits you, you could look smoking hot like my friend :)

Had higher hopes

I had higher hopes for my first RTR experience. But I'm glad I they send a backup size (size 0) which was the one that I ended up wearing (which surprised me because I don't usually wear such a small size). Not sure if the dresses were stretched out or what, but when I sat, the straps would fall off my shoulders and the the rest of the dress was about an inch or two too big. Also the lace at the neckline kept folding in and the tulle was also a little crinkled. My favorite thing was the color - a beautiful rich red.
