There is no stretch and wasn’t even close to fitting in my normal size. I would recommend sizing up 2 sizes.

Flattering,Comfortable and lots of Compliments!
The dress fits really well and is comfortable, but if you have a bigger chest it would be quite revealing. I am 5' 8" and always rent the long lengths, but I probably could have rented the regular and worn shorter heels, and been fine. I was wearing 4" heels with the 2L and it dragged on the floor just a little. There is no stretch in the dress. One of my favorite gowns I have rented from RTR and would definitely rent again!

Conservative work dress
While the color is a bright red, the length and cut is very conservative. The dress is a midi length. I am a 2/4 typically and had some room in the 2, especially in the midsection. I would say it runs one size large.

Great, comfortable work dress
Dress is stretchy and comfortable. Great for work. I think you can size down because of the stretch and the length of the dress. The tie wraps around waist multiple times.

VERY short and unwearable
I love DVF dresses and have rented many of them for work without issue. I rented this in a size 2 (I'm typically a 2/4) and it was SO short and fit like a petite. The model photo make it look like the dress hits at the knee, but mine hardly covered my backside. The dress zipped and "fit" in the body, but the length of the skirt and the torso portion made it completely unwearable at 5'8". The fabric was nice and the dress itself was well made. As an unlimited member I have rented many dresses and very rarely have a dress arrive that is not wearable, but unfortunately, this was one of those.

runs EXTREMELY small
I am typically a 2/4. I read the other reviews and sized up to a 6, but couldn't wear it because it was SO tight. A size 8 may have worked, but not sure it would be flattering or comfortable. Definitely rent 2 sizes up if you try it.

Don't rent if taller than 5'7"!
I had been dying to rent this was excited when it was finally available. I did read the reviews that said it wasn't for tall girls, but tried it anyway. I am 5'8" and as another reviewer said, it pulled so high up my backside that I couldn't wear it. The front didn't make it look too obvious, but the back did. Would be so cute on someone shorter. It runs TTS otherwise. I am a 2/4 and rented a small.

Beautiful and great fabric, but tight on calves
I really liked this jumpsuit. It's a beautiful dressier fabric and fit well on top, but the legs were so tight around the calves and I have never had that problem in clothes before. I would normally reach down and pull the pant leg down, but because of the cut of the jumpsuit, when I bent over to do that, the leg just pulled higher, so that didn't work. Wanted to wear it, but couldn't because of how it fit me. It's TTS otherwise.

Cute dress, but revealing!
I really liked this dress, but didn't wear it because even with a B-cup, it was too revealing. Unless you want to be provocative, I wouldn't rent if you are bigger than a small B. The picture of the model in it is definitely true to how it's cut. I would have worn it if I was going on a beach vacation, but it wasn't appropriate for the occasion I rented for. Also, the fabric was unexpected. It was a lined cotton with no stretch. Still, very cute and will look great on someone. I would say it's ideal for someone taller (it's long) with a small bust. Runs TTS and zips up the side.

Top too large
I wanted to love and wear this dress, but the top draped in a way that made it so baggy that I just couldn't wear it. Even with the tie shoulders, there was no way to pull the fabric up enough, unfortunately.

Beautiful color and fit - perfection!
I really loved this dress. It was a perfect TTS fit. I'm 5'8" and because the dress only comes in a regular, I had to wear completely flat dress sandals with it, so that it still just hit the floor. The color is gorgeous and a nice dusty pink. I found the dress to be very flattering and got many compliments. I did not have the problem with undergarments that many reviews mentioned and everything worked. Would definitely recommend.

Favorite dress I've ever rented
I absolutely loved this dress! It fit perfectly, very TTS. I wouldn't recommend it for anyone with a large chest, as it would probably be pretty provocative. The shimmer in the dot detail and the tiers were both so fun. And it was also very comfortable, with no need to wear Spanx - always a plus! Wish I had purchased it instead of sending it back. I wore it to a black tie gala and it was perfect.

Great dress, but runs big
I really liked this dress because it was different, but as many of the reviews said, the straps didn't want to stay in place because they were long. I am typically a size 4 and sometimes a 2, and based on reviews I ordered the 2L. I am 5'8" and always order the long option, but could have ordered the 2R because the back was hitting the ground. Overall it was a great dress and I got a lot of compliments on it, but it wasn't the most comfortable to wear because the top was large (although I'm small chested) and I was self-conscious about that.

Great midi length and nice material
LOVED this dress, but it runs very large. I am typically a 2/4 and I rented the small and it was very big on me. Even though the fabric is a thick, stretchy knit, it is not body hugging. I would definitely size down if you rent, without question. I will rent the XS next time and hope it works. The dress itself is awesome!

Bright, beautiful color
As all of the other reviews said, this dress runs very small. Knowing that, I rented the 6 and it fit perfectly (I am typically a 2/4). It is very tight at the seam around the rib area, with no stretch. The neckline is great, the fabric is nice, and the color is really pretty and bold. The slit up the back does not overlap and is pretty high, but still appropriate for work.

I loved this jacket. It runs small, so I would order your bigger size. I am typically a 2/4, wore the XS, but would have been more comfortable in a S. It does have metallic in it, but is definitely work appropriate and classy. Love the fringe detail and would definitely rent again.

Classic, Conservative, Fun.
I love this dress. I am typically a size 4 and wore a small, but think I could have worn a XS if it was the only option. There is definitely room/stretch in this dress because of the sweater fabric, which is not as thick as some Shoshanna dresses I have rented, but still nice quality and very comfortable. The length is great for work and the overall cut makes it conservative, while the color and detail add a little something fun. Would definitely rent again.

Fits well, but color is dull
I rented this as an option for Christmas pictures. The dress fits well (though short!) and if you are in between sizes, I would size down. I didn't end up wearing it, but could have if needed. Color is a dull green.

Classic and beautiful color
I loved this skirt. I would definitely size down, as it looks best sitting at your natural waist and the 4 was big on me even though I typically wear a 4 - the 2 would have been much better. The length is great and is the same as shown on the model. It is not lined, but doesn't need to be. The color is a beautiful blue with a nice shine to it.

Comfortable fit, feminine print
This dress does not have any stretch. I rented it for work and really liked it, but felt like because of the print it may be better for a wedding or something like that. It is comfortable, the tie is attached to the dress in the back, at the zipper. If you are bigger chested or bigger at your natural waist, you may want to size up. I am a size 4 and the small fit perfectly.

Fun, comfortable jumpsuit
I didn't end up wearing this because it was too hot for the long pant and heavy weight of the fabric, but I really liked it. It is conservative, comfortable and fun. I gave it 4/5 stars because the fit of the leg was a little odd - the knee area hit a bit awkwardly. Would be great for a cocktail party and I would definitely rent again.

Did not love this dress, but was OK for work
The neck on this dress is high cut and tight. I am a size 4 and this 4 was fine for work, but I found myself pulling down the hem a lot and tugging at the neck throughout the day, so would size up for comfort. The dress is not lined (doesn't need it) and the fabric is very thin and stretchy. I don't think I'll rent this dress again.

Loved this skirt
I gave it 5 stars because I love the skirt and would rent again, but I would definitely size down next time. The skirt pulls on (no zipper) and is a very stretchy fabric. I would have liked it to hit a little higher on my waist, so next time I will rent the 2 instead of the 4 (my usual size).

Great wrap dress for work
Many reviews said to size up in this dress. I agree that sizing up would have been fine, but I went with my normal size (4) and it fit well. The length is appropriate for work. If bigger chested, definitely size up for coverage, as the dress doesn't have any real stretch to it.

Classic and conservative
Loved this dress. I sized down based on a review by someone who is a similar size and am glad I did. I am typically a size 4 and the 2 was a great fit. The dress has a lot of stretch and no back slit, which I really liked. The neck was snug, but not uncomfortable. If you are bigger chested or have broad shoulders, you probably want to stick to your normal size, as the arm holes could get tight. I really loved this dress.

Flattering and stretchy!
I am usually a small or medium (size 6) and wore the small. It is a very stretchy fabric, but does have a zipper up the side that could be constricting. Loved the high neckline and bottom of the dress. I'm 5'8" and it reached the bottom of my calf. Really loved the dress and recommend!

Runs large - didn't end up wearing
I wanted to love this dress. I had just rented another dress by this designer, the fit of which was perfect, but this dress wasn't available in the size I had ordered in the other. Because the dress appeared skin tight, I figured I could order my normal size and it would work, but I definitely needed a size smaller. The dress has a shape that makes wearing a size that is too big, impossible. I ordered my normal size and a size up as backup. The length was just right, but the fit was almost boxy. If I had ordered the right size, I think it would have been perfect, but I couldn't fill it out. Definitely order down a size.

Comfortable, conservative, flattering!
I loved this dress. I am 5'8" and typically a size 8. The dress had more stretch than I thought it would and I think I could have fit in a SL, but for the chest area. So, I would say that if you are small chested, you can size down. I had also read a lot of reviews that said how long the dress was, but on me the ML was the perfect length, just grazing the floor, with 5 inch heels. The slit in front is not provocative at all. I really loved this dress - it was comfortable, flattering, and perfect for the black tie event I wore it to.

Classy and Comfortable
I am typically a size 8 or Medium, but wore the SR because it fit better than the MR. The MR had too much fabric in the bust, as many other reviews said. The bottom of the MR was more comfortable, but the SR was still fine to wear, even with the opening in the from. Another reason I wore the SR is because the belt didn't come with either and the elastic cinched in the waist better on the SR. I wore this for a black-tie optional party, but it could easily be dressed down for a more casual affair. I would rent it again.

Beautiful, comfortable and flattering!
I wore this dress to a black tie NYE wedding and it was perfect. The fabric is stretchy and form fitting, so it is actually very flattering. I think it would be great on any body type. I loved the off the shoulder look that covers just enough of the arms and allows you to wear the dress comfortably without pulling up the top all night. Another bonus is that the ruching allows you to "alter" the length of the dress. I am 5'8" and wore 3" heels, but could have gathered the fabric a little more around the mid-section and worn shorter heels. The dress does not have a zipper, so you step into it, which is nice if you've gotten your hair and/or makeup done. I've rented many dresses from RTR and this is my favorite dress yet.
