Because who doesn't love Formal Fridays during lockdown? 

This dress is stretchy and comfortable like a nice sock but with sparkle. I wore all day with no irritation on my arms.

Styled as shown and I threw a multi color leather bomber over it when I was chilly!

Ended up not wearing this but the extra material in the middle section made for a very flattering dress! Loved it and will definitely rent again.

This dress was surprisingly very comfortable. I was not pulling it up all evening like some other strapless dresses I worn before. It was very flattering for how form fitting it was and I received many compliments from other women on the dance floor.  I highly recommend this beautiful dress. 

Fits true to size, I am usually wearing a 2 and ended up ordering the 4 because it was the smallest size available. It still fitted well, but I can imagine the 2 would have been a bit more forming. All in all a dress you will stand out in, comfortable to dance and sit. Mini cave-at:the sequins can start rubbing under your arms after a while.

It is a stunning dress. It's so easy to wear, and very comfortable. I probably could've worn a 6 even though I'm typically an 8 (which this dress was).  I say that because I had to keep hiking the dress up in the back so it didn't show my strapless bra. Other than that, a show stopper. 

The for was perfect. I based the dude on the chat and the other girls sizes and reviews. 

Fit perfectly. I was worried that the length would be too long, as I'm only 5'3", but with heels, the dress grazed the floor beautifully. There was a best-dressed contest the night of the event... I didn't win, but many people came up to me saying I was robbed. You will LOVE this dress! 

This dress is absolutely beautiful! I wore it to a formal party sponsored by my company & I got compliments all night. It was very comfortable and had some stretch to it. I am usually an 8 but I was concerned about it being too tight in the chest so I ordered up, I'm sure the 8 would have been just fine. I will order this dress again...I'm totally in love with it!

I ordered this dress last minute when one of my other items became unavailable. I was so worried that it wouldn't come in time but it arrived and fit perfectly. It's true to size, but stretches to fit your figure. It's flattering and VERY comfortable. I spent all night dancing and having a good time, looking and feeling great.

This dress was a little big in the waist but runs smaller in the top.  The dress is a gorgeous red and photographs well! I got lots of compliments all night and did not want to send it back! I'd definitely rent it again! 

This dress was very comfortable and the material was a little stretchy so I didn't feel trapped in it. I was getting compliments all all night about the dress. I did not wan to return it!! It is a very form fitting dress so I had to wear seamless underwear. I am 4"11 and the dress was a little long even in 4 inch heels but it wasn't too bad. I would 15/10 rent again! My original backup dress was damaged so I was told by RTR that I could order another dress at no additional charge so I chose this one!!! I love love love this dress and had people coming up to me days after my formal telling me how pretty I looked! 

There is a lot of give, which is why you can size down.  I have an hourglass figure, and it was a killer dress for me.  Formal affair and I think I was the only person in red.

Dress is very high quality and amazingly comfortable. It makes a huge impression, get ready to be the center of attention. Not for the shy at heart.  Loved it, wish i could own it.

This dress! If I owned it, I'd wear it every day. The 10 fit but was slightly tight so I wore the 12 - it was slightly big so I wore a strapless bra. It's comfortable. Feels great on. Length was perfect.

Listen: if you have a special event, you must rent this. If you don't have an event, rent it anyway! The dress is so magical, it's like it came out of Harry Potter.

My original pick was not available at the last minute - and the dress that was sent in its place was awful. RTR was amazing - they gave me a "price is not a factor" opportinity to choose any dress that was available for my event date, no extra cost or additional shipping. 

I chose the Donna Karan Gemma, and was not disappointed - it was a bit more va-va-voom than I would normally go for, but I decided to live it up and go for it. Compliments and stares all night long - and my partner adored it. Two days later, he's still talking about it! 

My only caveats about this dress are that you definitely want to wear a strapless dress to avoid the dreaded shelf-boobs. Also, the sequins do get a little itchy under the arms, but nothing unbearable. The leg slit is also very short - you can't take a full stride and will need to walk carefully. I found that sitting for long periods tended to skew the zipper; I just checked it whenever I visited the ladies' room - not a big deal. 

Fit was good, not too tight, strapless but the top held up nicely without needing any adjustments throughout the night.  Was able to accommodate a strapless bra and spanx comfortably.  Ruching in the front hides imperfections, and provided a slimming effect.

This dress was perfect for my formal! I usually wear a 0 or 2 in dresses, but this dress does run small. It is very slim fitting. It was a bit long for me, but with heels it was great! Love love love!

The elastic was well worn on the top so it was a bit loose. If you are smaller chested this may be too big if you are a 32. But amazing dress. Loved it and it photographs great!

I am 5'7 and weigh approximately 120 pounds. I rented a size 2R and wore with 3 inch heels. 
measurements are 34-24-36
