The gown fits me like a glove and I'm normally size 0, so I recommend it for petite women.

I wore this to a Memorial Ball, after reading other reviews I ordered a size larger then I normally am (I'm normally an 8 so I ordered a 10L since I'm 5'9)  However when the dress came I couldn't get the (side zipper) zipped up past my rib cage (even with help) And another dress I ordered as a backup had a broken zipper! I called RTR's customer service and they were able to over-night me the next size up however, they didn't have the long length in that size. The 12R came around 4pm the day of my event, I expected it to be a little big however it fit perfect, I was a little pressed for time since I had to leave at 4:30 and had to steam the dress still, but it all ended up working out. The dress was very unique and the blue color is very pretty (it looks much more vibrant in person) I had to run out and find VERY short heels since the dress was in a regular length, I would have much preferred a long length! My only other small complaint about the dress is that the small snaps and hook that keep the front part of the dress to the side came undone while dancing a couple times, not a huge deal or anything) Overall this dress was very pretty, it's not something I would have normally picked just looking at the model picture, but seeing it on "real" people is what made me decide to rent it and I'm glad I did (just make sure to SIZE UP....I went up 2 sizes then I normally wear!)

Absolutely love the dress. Gorgeous color, fabric and design. It was quite snug through the waist and very difficult to zip up and hook all hooks by myself but I managed! Took me about 30 minutes to get it on! All in all, the dress was fabulous. This was my first experience with RTR and I will definitely use again. I've been recommending to all my friends. 

I rented both a 10L and a 12R in this dress. The 12R was a bit more comfortable, but was looser in the bust and would have required a strapless bra, and was too short to wear with heels, so I went with the 10L. It was just slightly snug in the ribcage but much more flattering than the 12R. The 10L was just a touch too long for my 3.5" heels, so if I wanted to walk quickly I had to hold the dress up.

I was so pleased with this dress. I felt glamorous and pretty and received a ton of compliments. My daughter cried when I had to send it back, and I almost did too! She says I have to rent it again for my next event.

I loved this dress, the side zipper was a little annoying but nothing that couldn't be forgotten after many positive comments were made. A friend of my date's actually said she wanted to come say hi but didn't because her dress paled in comparison :) as others have said, it does run a little tight in the bust but I didn't have to size up like others have mentioned.

You look flawless. I love your total look.

RTR sent me this dress after my original dresses arrived damaged.  Wonderful customer service.  I couldn't be happier!! As soon as I opened the box I was in love with the color!  Absolutely stunning.  The other reviews are right about the top being small and snug.  Took me about 5 minutes to get it zipped up and it was very very tight.  If you can get it zipped, it's soo worth it though.  The smaller top actually worked great for me since that is how my body is shaped (smaller top, bigger on bottom).  I was stopped on my way to the bathroom with compliments from strangers.  So sad to send it back!!

Loved this dress. I felt so beautiful. 

Although, It runs very small! I wore the 8L and I am normally a size 6! The 8L was perfect though. The structure of the dress is great very supportive, but very fitted at the waist. Great for hourglass or pear shapes. I would wear this again in a heartbeat. 

Just received this gown.  I am 5'8", 130 lbs, and in regular clothes a size 4.  My problem with dresses is that I have a 36" ribcage (wear 36B bra).  So the 10L barely zips up, but fortunately I was able to.  Also ordered the 8L and was not even close to being able to zip it. The bust part is a little roomie but it will work.  I guess I need to get some ribs removed.

The gown was not my first choice and it was one size too big, however it did run a bit small. To make it work I wore a strapless push up bra to add padding. The corset feature of the dress was nice! I did not have time for any alterations and being I  have a small waist, the mid section was too big. If the fasteners were a few inches farther back, it would have fit better. A 6L probably would have fit perfectly. The outer zipper also did not work properly but the inner one did. All this said..the gown is GORGEOUS. I received many compliments from both men and women. One very distinguished man told me my gown was "To die for...TO. DIE. FOR." The color is brilliant and the fabric is heavenly. Not having to pack a gown to travel to DC with was also a plus. Rent the Runway agents did everything in their power to rectify a bad situation. The gown I ordered somehow became unavailable 2 days before the ball and they sent 2 other options (Both 6L's and both were too big) so we went with my original 2nd choice. I will use Rent the Runway again!
