 I am a little over 5'8 and was grateful to finally have a dress that reached the floor! The texture of the lace only shows in bright light so it looks mostly black. The pleats around the waist were not the most flattering on me, (but I have little to no hips to allow the waist to be accentuated). Comfortable and 

The fit was great, the length was perfect for my height.  No complaints about the dress.

This dress fit perfectly. It was a little long, but the heels I had made it so that I didn't have to hold it all night. It hugged in all the right places. It was not too showy, so I felt like a princess, but not a showgirl. 

This dress worked out pretty well for a black tie wedding, got a few compliments on it, although the $15 Target necklace I was wearing got the most compliments! As far are sizing, I typically wear a 2 in regular clothing, and a 6 in formal dresses. The 4 regular fit well, except a little tight in the arm area, and was the perfect length. I would suggest to wear Spanx. If you have a more athletic frame it will not be too comfortable in the arm hole area.. But, the more wine you drink the more comfortable it'll get :)

This dress fit so well and was comfortable and great to dance in. The problem I has was looking at the pics afterward! The black sheer material bunched over the natural fabric underneath makes for a not so flattering appearance of rolls, unfortunately!

I wore the size 10.  I bought a Spanx type garment as it was suggested online.  The fit in the bust with this was snug, but worked well vs going to the 12.  Comfortable material allowed for a fun evening.  Length was fine for 3" heels.  Dresses arrived on time and in a great garment bag for us to bring to the hotel for the event!  

I ordered a 12L and 14L for backup size. The 12L fit OK but was tight over my bust (size 40 F). The 14L felt like it had been made for me. The bodice was fitted and very supportive. My 3 inch heels brought my height to 5'9" and the length was perfect, with the hem just barely grazing the ground. I walked around all night without any fear of either myself or someone else stepping on the dress.  This was my first RTR experience, and I highly recommend it. Everything arrived in great condition. 

Great fit & the material feels great. Perfect for a black tie wedding!

It fit perfectly, very comfortable.  I could dance, eat, sit, stand, without any self consciousness.

Rented for a masquerade gala, got so many compliments. The dress fit perfectly, perfect length, perfect everything! I've become a complete fan of RTR...thank you!!! 

Overall, I loved this dress!  I received tons of compliments all night long.  I ordered a long and regular because I read all of the comments about the dress running short.  I am 5'5 and thought the regular fit perfect.  I wore 3" inch wedges and the bottom of the dress was right at the ground.  I would recommend wearing wedges rather than heels.  I tried on heels with the dress and when I walked the heel would snag the outside fabric.  I didn't have this problem with the wedges.  Also, make sure you lint roll the dress prior to your event.  I didn't and ended up finding some left over cat hair from the previous renter :) Overall, I had fabulous experience with RTR and will not hesitate to use them again.  RTR staff is awesome and so easy to work with!

This dress fit me perfectly.  I had to go up one size because of my chest and hips.  I think depending on your body type, this dress can be true to size.  I received so many compliments all night long and I think every one of my Facebook friends commented on how beautiful i looked :)  I can't wait to rent my next dress!

 It was long, but could have been longer, my heals were only 2 inches and you could see them. I felt like it made me look wide and larger than I am, due to the color and the cut- learning point for me- I wanted to try something new and different. It came well packaged, clean and it was a pretty dress, just not for me. The zipper under the arm was uncomfortable. otherwise, I think it would look great or better on a smaller woman. I will stick to V necks in the future as I always do- I really just wanted to try something different.

Length was perfect. 2-3 inch heels work best with this dress.

Wore it to gala, was the perfect amount of class. Very easy to pair jewelry with because of the nude tones. Just careful on the length, check other reviews and compare - I'm 5'6" and wore three inch heals and needed the long.  Otherwise loved the dress. Also RTR's customer service was fantastic, very accommodating!

This dress was not even in my order but was sent because my back up size was not available.  (Great service by the way).  I loved the fit and feel of this dress better than the one I originally ordered and went with this.  It is beautiful and makes you feel like a princess.  High marks for this one.  I wore the long and had to find some 5 inch heels to make it work but it was worth it.

This dress was the perfect fit for me.  I fell in love with it the moment I tried it on!  I got a 2R and a 2L just to be safe since some of the reviews said that it ran shorter once you put heels on .  I ended up wearing the 2R, and my shoes were 3".  I absolutely loved this dress!

I wore this gown to a Gala and it was absolutely perfect.

The dress was beautiful, fit like a glove, elegant and was very comfortable.

I received compliments all night long.

This was my first rental and it certainly will NOT be my last !!

The fit of this dress was very nice. It hugged in the right places without being scandalous. The rouching in the stomach area helped to hide any lumps and food babies. The way the dress is draped give it's a unique look. Very elegant and appropriate for a formal affair. Minus one star because if you look closely the material doesn't look super high quality, but for the price point I was not disappointed.

I don't have anything negative to say about this dress at all. It was lovely.

I wore this gown for the New Age Barber's First Annual Ball. It was gorgeous and I felt like AMAZING. It was beautiful. Great dress for someone with the hourglass figure. Very comfortable.

This dress fit like it was made for me. The slip and lace-like sheath flowed beautifully. In three inch heels, the dress just fluttered on the floor which I thought was perfect. A simple strapless bra worked great, so no special equipment required. I have a closet full of formal wear and this is easily one of the most comfortable-yet-elegant gowns I've ever worn. Absolutely no little issues (hem, cleavage, slipping strap, etc.) to worry about.  (I should note, I'm really a 30D but that's not an option to select).

This was my first RTR experience and sharing it with my friends and colleagues (the suspense: will it fit etc?) was really fun. The back up dress system is awesome. I ordered a dress I planned to wear an event later in the month to see it, and it was a disaster -- well worth about $30 to find that out. Good thing I didn't need it! 

I wore a size 14 and I am hippy with thick thighs, I wear a spanx and it gave it just the right amount of smoothing in the tummy area that assist with the mid section runching OMG! I felt like a princess at the ball. Many complements danced all night. Will definitely rent again....Love This Dress

I was amazingly impressed with my first experience with RTR.  I originally ordered a short dress but decided a few weeks before that I wanted a long dress.  There wasn't an issue at all when I called to switch.  When the dresses arrived they were clean and ready to go.   Both the 2R and 4R fit.  But, the 2 fit a bit tighter-which I liked.  The arm holes are small!  I was worried about it but my arms were unaffected.  The dress was a bit shorter than I would have liked.  I had 3 inch heels and you could see my toes.

This is a very classic and beautiful dress.  It was different and unique-but not over the top!  I was worried I would stand out but the details were not obnoxious.  Overall, I loved this dress.  It made me feel like a million bucks! 

   

The body hugging fit remained comfortable and complimentary. The bottom portion of the dress flowed to the floor.  I agree that it runs a little shorter if you are planning to wear higher heels. My 3 in heels and shorter legs were the perfect combo:)  Once again, a beautiful dress, great service and wonderful memories in my dress.  Bravo RTR!

I needed a long gown for our Barrister's Ball (law school prom) and this dress was perfect.  I rented both a 4R and a 6R -  the 4 had a tear in it so I ended up with the 6, which fit perfectly.  I'm 5'5" and the regular was *almost* too short - i had to be careful of what heels I wore and couldn't wear more than 3.5 inches (which is short for me) otherwise it would have looked off.  Overall I loved it, loved the one shoulder, but next time i'll definitely order the long length

Perfect fit! it was a bit long, I am 5'9 and wore 3 inch heels and the dress still touched the floor. I danced the whole night and the bottom got tangled with the heel. I rented the 12L and 14L. I wore the 14L. This was my first time renting, it sure isn't my last! Thank You RTR!!

This dress was fantastic! Comfortable and flattering. I wore this for my brother's wedding and received compliments the entire night. The only downside was it was a bit long. I was wearing 4 inch heals with the regular length (I am 5'5").  This was my first experience with RTR and I will definitely be a returning customer! 

I wore this dress to a military ball, and it was gorgeous. I ordered the 2R and the 4R, and I could have worn either one because the 2R was tight-fitting and the 4R skimmed my body in a very flattering way. Like other reviews have said, it is a bit short, I had to wear very low heels and the dress barely touched the ground. If you're about my height and are comfortable wearing taller heels, I would recommend the long sizes so you have more options.

Ordered this dress when at the last minute we discovered we were going to the ball afterall. The shipping was fast and I loved the 2 sizes options. I was more worried about the length being correct, which is why I chose the 12R over the 10L. Both fit great and were very comfortable. I would definitely recommend RTR to anyone and this dress is stunning in person. Lots of compliments came my way.

This dress was amazing.  I'm 5'10 and wore 3 inch heels, and this dress was still long enough.  It did get caught a few times on my stilettos though.  The bust was a little loose, but i'm only a B cup.  My poor boyfriend felt left behind with as many compliments as i received!

This dress is very elegant, form-fitting yet comfortable.  I felt very glamorous in it and received many compliments.  The nude underlay adds a touch of sexy while maintaining a classy attitude.  Just perfect.  Thanks RTR!

I wore this dress to a black tie affair on the water.  It was very pretty, very snug on the top.  Im big chested and this dress said it was good for large chest and still thought it was snug.  But overall it was super pretty and flowing.  I had three inch heals on and it was dragging a bit.

Very elegant dress, it was a few inches too short so I would get it a little longer than you might need. Its better to tape it if its too long than it be too short. Overall it was very easy to walk in and very comfortable. 

I did wear spanx with the dress because it was form fitting, but the fit was great! It was also really comfortable dress, nothing was poking me and I did not need to pull the dress up cause it was falling down, cause it wasnt. I highly recommend this dress, its great!

This dress was awesome! I tried it on when I was feeling bloated two days earlier so I actually went with the size 8L. I could have definitely worn the 6L though on the day of the wedding because it was super roomy so I would say it's true to size. If you have a bigger chest than C/small D though, definitely size up. I could ALMOST get away without wearing a bra with this too although it hid a strapless quite nicely. It also gave the illusion of a slight curve around my waist even though I have absolutely NO hips to speak of. I'm 5'7 and was wearing 3 inch heels and the dress was hitting the ground perfectly.  I got literally millions of compliments with this dress and I'd wear it again in a heartbeat! The one negative I'd say was after a while my arm started to get a little red underneath hitting the fabric on the side with the strap but it wasn't a big deal. Dress was clean and came on time. Thanks, RTR!

It was super comfortable and easy to move in. I needed to wear about 4" heels so the bottom didn't drag, but that wasn't really a problem. It fit my waistline nicely without being too form-fitting. It was perfect for my body.

This was my first time using RTR and I was very impressed. I am 5'7 128 lbs and the 4L fit perfectly. I wore 3 inch heels.  The first 4L sent actually had a hole in it-- I 'chatted' with a RTR person online and they over nighted another 4L by 12noon the next day!  The dress is actually prettier in person, the photos dont' really do it justice. Only thing I would like to mention is that the arm hole is somewhat small and by the end of night was bothering me..and I don't have particularly large arms/shoulders. 

 I initially wanted a really elegant and classy dress and it definitely fit the bill! I am really tall and the dress went all the way to the ground so I am glad that I ordered a long size. I did not want to send it back because I loved it!

Dress fit well with ample room for a larger bust. It's about 1" shorter than I would have liked, but will be plenty long for an average height woman. You can easily wear a strapless bra without any wardrobe issues. My dress came with many snags in the lace overlay which took away from the overall experience for me. I did call to get a new dress and they DID have it in stock. They did mail it to my event which was 4/6 - but it did not arrive until 4/11. At that time I had long checked out of the hotel.
