I'm 5'5" and 128 and usually wear a  size 4. The other reviewers were correct it's quite fitted in the bodice I'm very muscular and small on top so it fit me just right.  I'm heavier on bottom so the size 4  worked great for me but I could see if you are bustier than a B you will need to go up in size. Got lots of compliments, loved the quality of the fabric very 1950s Elizabeth Taylor would definitely rent this again. 


I'm SUPER tiny and have no boobs and this dress fit me really well! I wore a 0. I'm 5'3 and 103 lbs.

This dress was my substitute dress as the one I originally picked was not available. The color of the dress is beautiful and I had to wear the size 12 instead of the 10 as it was a bit tight in the bust area.  Overall the dress is a beautiful a-line style that is very flattering and comfortable.

GORGEOUS COLOR. POCKETS. I'm 6'1," wore 2" heels, and the dress hit just below my knee. The sleeves are a bit restricting but the full skirt is a lot of fun and great for twirling. I especially loved the sheer mid section detail- it added an edgy element to an otherwise conservative dress. My only real complaint is the zipper was a little difficult to pull up because of the thickness of the material. 

I was nervous when my regular size wasn't available, but the top has little give so it worked out. Loved this dress... Beautiful color and comfortable to dance in. 

I absolutely loved this dress! It ran larger for me but I still rocked it. So many people complimented it and loved how vibrant the red was. It was super comfortable and easy to travel with. I wear an 18 jeans and this 16w was still a little big. #wedding #red #glam

Runs small around the lower ribcage area so definitely good idea to size up by one extra size. I am a size 0 and wore size 2. It fit really well. The length is longer so it fell to about 3 inches below my knees which still looked great. A petite length would have been helpful. The top is partly see through in the shoulder area and belly area but still very tasteful and elegant. I was not comfortable without a bra so i wore one. For some reason the gray color of the bra meshed well with the red and did not show and just simply faded into the beautiful red color. Overall beautiful and comfortable dress. My phone fit in the pocket and i did not have to worry about bringing a purse. 

Such a fun dress for engagement photos. Wore with gold shoes. Comfortable and flattering. There is a small section at the waist above the skirt that is sheer through the top layer. Skirt does show every wrinkle due to the fabric. 

Felt very chic in this. As others have noted, the top doesn't have much give, so it might be a tight squeeze for larger busts. I'm a 30B and a size 0 fit perfectly. Ended up wearing something else but am lining for an occasion to rent this again and wear it!

This is a great color is red, and the dress is very comfortable and has pockets! There is mesh over the top portion of the bodice with no whining or backer around the waist and in the upper chest. Make sure to planet your undergarments accordingly!

LOVE that this is in women's sizes and kept the peek a boo stomach!  Felt sexy, elegant, with a little scandal. Never felt uncomfortable. Would highly recommend. 

I love how fitted it was through the waist, and the pockets 

Fit was perfect! I am 125 lbs. and 5'3" and the size 4 fit like a glove (not an OJ Simpson glove either ;))!! The model shows the dress hits over the knee, but it was mid-calf and I actually preferred that length. I wore a nude bra and nobody noticed the bra straps. Oh, and the dress has pockets!! Be prepared to steam the dress! On a side note, this was my first pick dress but in size 2. I was notified by RTR that due to unforseen circumstances, they couldn't send me the dress. They had a personal stylist pick a similar dress and shipped that in the original dress' place. They were very accommodating and professional and offered to overnight another dress if I wasn't happy. Now that is service!!

I usually wear a 0 but they didn't have that size available so I took a chance and just ordered the 2 based on the reviews I read. It fit perfectly, so I would recommend sizing up if you're unsure on the size. The material is thick and the skirt lays beautifully. The top adds a modern flair with the crocheted lace and it also has some edgy cut-outs in the lace which are sexy but tasteful. It was perfect for a winter Christmas party, the thick fabric was comfortable and warm. Plus it had pockets!! I couldn't wear a bra with this because of how low the back is, however if you have a really low bra band you may be fine with a strapless. I got a lot of compliments and felt very festive.

I ordered an 8R and ended up wearing the back up 10R because the fabric/fit around the waist and bust was snug and fitting.  I wore the dress without a bra (and I'm only a 36B) because it was tight on top.  The length of the dress appeared shorter in the model picture but thanks to the reviews and pics of others the dress hit mid-calf, which I was hoping it would!  The color is vibrant and the satin bottom with lacey top, cap sleeve was great for a winter party!  I did a bright red lip, red bottom Louboutins in nude, one sparkling bangle and chandelier earrings and got many compliments!  It was fun to feel so glamorous!

I wore this dress to a black tie optional awards banquet. It was super cute and comfortable. I spent all night in it, including eating dinner and dancing, and it never wrinkled or got uncomfortable. I found that it fit true to size. Would definitely recommend! 

This dress perfectly managed my two dressing challenges -- 6 ft tall and small chested.  Length was fun while not skimpy, color was rich, bodice was nicely fitted (and im small through the torso. )

I loved this dress so much. The red is super rich and it photographs amazing. It does run small though and the zipper was super tough to get over the waist band because of the change in fabric for the sheer middle situation. 

Such a beautiful dress! It was super elegant, fun to dance in, and had pockets!! Worn to a wedding in November in Virginia, and the material was heavy enough to be warm while we were outside. Make sure you have a bra that will work with the open back, mine was barely covered. Belt is mine. 

This dress made me feel amazing at a recent (cocktail attire) wedding. The color is gorgeous and it has such a lovely silhouette. Very Audrey Hepburn. The peek-a-boo top made it especially fun and a little sexy. I received so so many compliments and the deep pockets were so handy. As many other reviewers mentioned, the fitted top runs slightly small. I wore my usual size but my back was aching by the end of the evening from how tight it was! I think the next size up would have been too big though. I can recommend, especially if you have a naturally small waist.

Fit well and was very comfortable plus the pockets were great! I would say size up, it is pretty tight across the chest.

This dress is beautiful! I wore it to a fancy dinner while vacationing in Vegas and it was perfect. The dress does run small, so maybe be prepared to order a size up. I am typically a 12, and when I wore the 12, it was very very tight. 

The color was so pretty and the dress was pretty too. It has pockets which I love and is fun to wear. But it was soo tight across the ribs. I couldn't breathe out the entire night. Not my favorite rtr selection ....

Such a fun dress. I usually wear a six but went with the 8 and 10 based on reviews. The 8 was a little tight but loosened up quickly. The 10 was baggy, which didn't look good with the style at all. 

Picture is slightly blurry because it's a screenshot of a video of me twirling in it. Such a good dancing dress. 

It's a little heavy since the skirt fabric is thick, but I wore it to a wedding in Texas in September and I was not too hot in the dress since the top is not heavy. 

If you get the right right enough size, easy to wear with no bra. 

Such a beautiful dress, my first RTR and I couldn't be happier.  I got so many compliments on how beautiful it was and loved the pockets.

I was a little skeptical of this dress on the hanger because the top is almost knitted, but once you put it on, it is super fun!  I wore this to a black tie event and it really stood out against all the other "safe," sequin slinky dresses.  It definitely looked formal enough and very classy.  The dress gets a little tight around the middle (rib cage area, not stomach) so you might need help zipping up, but once it's on, it has a slimming effect with the skirt being full.
