I’m usually a size 2 but needed the backup size 4 for this designer. 

The dress was gorgeous. It fit my body like a glove. I am 65-years-old and I felt like a hot tamale in this outfit but age appropirate. That said the styling in the back buttock area unattractive for simeine my age. Rather than a sleek look which I expected, even with Spanx, my rear end looked twice as large as expected. Not the best look. Although the rest of the dress was stunning.

I am 5'6, 210lbs.  I am between a size 16 and 18 but this 18 was a bit snug, possibly because it is meant to be form fitting.  I was very self conscious because I've never worn anything form fitting, but as the night went on and I received numerous genuine compliments, I began to feel like a million bucks.  It is very glamorous.


fits a bit snug thru the bodice/sleeves but going up one size worked.

Perfect for a winter wedding. Zero stretch, but convenient zippers on wrists 

Perfect for a fall wedding! Sized up for this one. There’s not a lot of stretch in the material, so once you’re in you’re in! (And it becomes very difficult to go to the bathroom). Like many others have indicated the arms are very tight. The butt area / zipper stuck out a bit, which I found a bit frustrating. But overall loved the look - received many compliments! 

It was very fitting. I had to use the bigger size which is a good thing they provided two sizes. I'm short, but the length was perfect. 

Gorgeous gold dress that I wore for a Valentine's date with a friend. Something different from the typical red or pink. Chic and elegant for all ages. Wore a strapless bra underneath it. There are little zippers at the wrists that allow you to open the sleeves a couple inches or so. 

I feel the real color of the dress somehow is darker than the picture on site. it fits well, hugs your body.  I really love the color and pattern.  fun dress to wear to go out, but I don't think it's meant to wear to dance, so the rim of the dress feels limiting and the shoulder part, too.  

Fit well. Hide the post baby bod.. tight in the arms and shoulders.. I'd be careful renting if athletically built

Omg this dress!!!!!!! I've rented a lot from RTR but this is by far my favorite pick! I wore this to my company holiday party, it was classy yet sexy and so comfortable. So many amazing compliments on it all night and I felt like a movie star!!! 

So many compliments on this dress. Wore it for a clients Christmas party. Stretchy in the mid section. Arms and shoulders was a little tight but nothing crazy. Color of dress is beautiful and perfect for party, wedding ect.. 

Within five minutes of arriving to the wedding I was attending someone came up to tell me I looked like a million dollars. This dress was fabulous!! The sleeves were a little tight at the armor as others had posted but I went up a size in preparation. The length was great to feel covered. I paired the dress with a pair of basic black pumps. I loved  that I want exposed all night but looked fun and trendy and sexy. My husband loved this dress and wants me to rent it again. 

I wore this dress for a formal party! fits well for pear-shaped bodies,  love the color and material was forgiving. Only complain I have about it is the sleeves were TOO tight and the slip kept showing off at the bottom (which I hated) But overall it was a good rental

On the picture I was 238 lbs. I normally wear a size 18. I ordered a size 18w and it was a good fit. true to size. It was a little tight in the arm area but I think that was because of the cut and style of he top of the dress. 

Yes it does properly fit the body nicely, but I never felt uncomfortable. I received plenty of compliments on my NYE dinner cruise. 

Arms were extremely tight. I'm a pretty tiny girl and the rest of the dress fit me well but the arms were so tight they left marks on me. Cute but uncomfortable 

This was my free second dress, and I chose to wear it instead of the original.  I typically wear a 6/8, and this is probably pretty true to size.  It was slightly bigger than I would have liked, and the ruching bunched up a little because of that (which made me feel lumpy at times).  However, we had dinner in Hell's Kitchen, walked to the theatre for a show, and then walked around for dessert and Christmas light viewing, and it was remarkably comfortable.  I'd rent it again.

The color is festive, great for holiday party and the ruching is well placed. But depending on how you feel about your belly, you could fee like the dress hid your belly, or the dress gave you a belly. I usually wear a 4 but it was tight around my armpits so I wore the 6 - which was only slightly larger overall. Highly recommend. 

I wore this dress to a fall afternoon wedding and received a ton of compliments. I'd say the dress runs pretty true to size. It was a little tight at the top of the arms but this is due to the neckline. My only complaint is that I couldn't get the bottom over my hips to use the bathroom so I basically had to take the dress off in order to go. So make sure you always have a buddy when wearing this dress :) 

The dress fit well. Size 6 was a little tight and the 8 was slightly loose but fit better. The bottom of the dress wasn't very giving so walking upstairs was not so easy. 

I would normally wear a size 2 in loose fitting dresses, since this is a very slim cut I went a size up and it got perfectly. The sleeves were a good length and it came below my knees (5'1") which I liked cause I didnt feel the need to pull it down as I walked. Lovee love loved it! Color was amazing too!
