I rented this dress for an Army Ball. One of my favorite rentals so far. The dress has some stretch but held it's shape (and mine) all night long. It'a a conservative style with a beautiful splash of color. You'll definitely stand out against the typical black gowns worn at a formal event. In person the red is more orange than it appears in the photographs so be cautious if you're looking for a deeper red. I'll definitely rent this dress again!! 

I can't say enough good things about this dress! The material is thick and kept all my bits exactly where I wanted them to stay! I didn't even need to wear a bra. I'm 5'10" and the 4L was perfect with 3" heels. I got compliments all night and felt like a million bucks! 

I rented this for a military formal event. First off, I am 34D, 130 lbs, 5'7". This dress  in a 4R fit like a glove and the length just showed the toe of my heels. It was form fitting enough that you could vaguely see my belly button ring and showed all my curves, but was a thick enough fabric that I could have gotten away with not wearing a bra if I wanted to. However, the back is high enough that I wore a strapless bra with no problem. It was extremely figure flattering, showed off all my curves and made me feel like a knockout. The color is definitely more of an orange-red, but complimented my significant other's uniform very well. Recommend! I felt confident and comfortable and didn't have to adjust anything all night.

This dress is gorgeous on! The material is a heavy knit that really holds everything in place :)
I wore a regular strapless bra with it. The color is a bright red and the slit is just high enough. If you are over 5'6" and wear heels- order the long. Im 5'7" and wore a 3" heel and the 2L barely touched the top of my feet. Its extremelt comfortable and easy to dance, sit and go to the bathroom in! 

There weren't a lot of options left for my event date, so i went with this simple dress. The material isn't very fancy. Its more of a thick cotton. The biggest downside was the fabric did show some wear and the zipper was quite worn. The red paint was half worn off the zipper, showing dark metal. Besides this, the dress looked nice and fit well. I went with the 6 because it was a more classy fit. The 4 could have been worn, but made me look very curvy. I recommend spanx. I tried it on without and you could see bumps, including the outline of my belly button :) overall good experience and the dress worked great.

When I got it the material was different then I thought it was.  Its a cotton stretchy type fabric so I ended up wearing the 4 but I could of gone up one more size. Definitely where your Spanx under this dress. Other then those things, the dress still looked great on me. The color is amazing! I got compliments none stop! 

Normally I'm a size 2 or 4 but the 6 fit great. Because the material is a little thick, it might run small as a result. Very comfortable and slimming. It was a standout since most people at the gala I attended wore black. Lots of compliments!

This dress is made from a thick, stretchy, fabric. It was easy to move around in and sexy without being revealing. 

I rented this as a backup to the Alison Parris Marilyn for a black tie optional wedding and it ended up just working better. The fabric is thick enough to hide any lumps and bumps and I probably didn't need Spanx in this but I wore them anyway. I'm 5'5" and wore 4" heels and it was juuuuust long enough. Recommend! 

I was almost embarrassed to be wearing this dress, especially with my 11 year old in tow, just because it was so bright and eye-catching! I wear a uniform to work every day so I can't tell you how many people said, "I almost didn't recognize you!" It's a very form-fitting dress but extremely comfortable with a soft stretchy fabric. I highly recommend if you're looking for a dress that will make you stand out from the crowd. 

True to size, it is form-fitting but comfortable! It was a little long with heels but I expected that because I'm 5'1

This was not a first choice dress for me, but I had one day to pick a formal dress for a last minute invite to an event.   I wasn't expecting much, but when I got it I was pretty happy.  It is very form fitting, I wore a 2R and had to be confident, but I would have rather had a 4R to give myself some breathing room.  It's made of a heavy sweatshirt type material and is somewhat more forgiving (although I still wore spanx) and it is easy to move it.  On received a lot of compliments so as long as you're okay to be a center of attention I'd say go for it. 

Received SO many compliments, loved the color wasn't quite red but not quite coral. Very fitted, not tight or uncomfortable just shows everything if you don't have proper undergarments on. Material was very soft but up close it looked a little pilly. Had to go with the 4R because the 2R didn't close at my bust.

Rented this gown for a formal wedding and loved it! I am 5 months pregnant but this dress had a little stretch in the fabric to hug my growing bump perfectly. I had to go two sizes up for the perfect fit. The color was more orange than red.   I received many compliments all night. Will definitely use RTR for the next wedding I attend. 

This dress is both beautiful and colorful. I wore it to a Hollywood themed event and it was perfect for it. The slit was just sexy enough but not too sexy for something like a work event (which this was). I have put on some weight in the past few months so the size I normally wear was a bit tighter than I would have liked but the material is thick enough that it helped to hide some of the problem spots! The long size option was also great since I am very tall.

I normally wear between a 0-2. I ordered a 2R and 4R because the 0 wasn't available. I was very please I ordered the 4 for my backup because the is a very form fitting dress and they both fit very well.  I still ended up wearing the 2 because I was worried the 4 would bunch up more with it being slightly bigger.  After wearing the 2 I still felt like it bunched up and had to pull down a lot from it riding up. So I recommend sizing up if you do not like a very clingy dress. Overall the dress has a lot of stretch and found if pretty comfortable just have to be  conscious about posture as it is very formfitting. 

Dress was gorgeous even though I didn't end up wearing it, the color was just a bit too orange. I will rent again but get a long next time 

The long option was great for me as I am 5'8. The dress was gorgeous, the material is beautiful.  The only con is that it was a little uncomfortable to dance in. 

I'm 6.5 months pregnant so I sized up from my usual size 4, hourglass.  Loved this dress! 

Shows off the figure well (tight fitting but didn't feel like I had to suck in the whole time), stretchy and comfortable

Wore this to Military Gala and it was perfection! Color is orange red which is what I thought it would be and exactly what I wanted! Fabric is not formal (stretch/poly cotton blend type) but the style and neckline makes up for it! Can be easily dressed up with accessories. Fit like a glove, no bra required and very comfortable +++! I was sent 2 dresses size 0 & 2. The size 2 was a bit more comfortable, but had a stain on it. Called CustomerCare and was sent (overnighted) my 2nd choice/different style cause another 2R was not available. Decide to go with 1st choice smaller size cause 2nd choice was damaged as well. :( BUT... so glad I did and the size 0  actually fit perfect after I put my spanx on ;). Overall a great experience! Although, I received a stain dress....CustomerCare is great and quickly resolved issue. **My recommendation-Make sure and order at least 2 days from event to give time for any issues. :) 

RTR couldn't send the original dress I ordered due to a damage, BUT they still made sure I got sent a similar, yet even more gorgeous dress (and it still arrived on time to Hawaii, nonetheless)! I was not able to try my regular size 4 on but the 6 worked so I had to roll with it! It was SO comfortable, easy to dance in, didn't require a slip, and fit my small 5'2'' frame perfectly with my 3 inch heels. And I love the side slit for a classic, yet fun look. Always have a great experience with RTR - rent this dress, it's a stunner!! 

This dress fit me like a glove! I had so many women compliment that this dress was the "dress" of the night. It was very easy to move around in and I was dancing a lot. This was my first RTR experience and I am customer for life!  I just want to wear it again! 

So comfortable and loved the cut of the dress in the front and in the back, so flattering.  The bottom hemline was slightly soiled but not noticeable-

Extremely comfortable & got compliments all night! 

This dress was amazing! I had a baby 6 months ago and I wanted some elegant, fun and tight! I got lots of compliments all night. The fit was perfect. My only negative is that it wasn't the material I was expecting. It was thicker more wool like material. But the only one that noticed or paid attention was me. I would definitely recommend this dress I felt beautiful and fabulous all night! 

This dress was very comfortable and was very forgiving. I wouldn't recommend it for a summer event as the material is thick and warm. The color is more burnt orange but between comfort and color I highly recommend it 

I am usually a size 2-4 but because the material is so accommodating, I was able to fit this 0! I loved this dress. It is beautiful and classy but it still allows you to get down on the dance floor. 

Beautiful and comfortable. Material is stretchy cotton-like. Shape is gorgeous. Runs small and short. 

Heavy material which is very forgiving. Yes, color is more burnished-orange than red. Lovely details and very flattering. I wore with 3 inch heels and length was fine despite being petite. 

This dress was a hit! Loved it! The size 4 dress has a stain the on the front from a prior rental which I could see so wore the 6 and it was beautiful!!

I loved this gown but the material wasn't quite what I expected. It had a few fuzzies on it but overall great gown. I'm 5'7 and wear a 4 but the 6 long was perfect. More importantly it fit my bust which is a 34dd. Great dress would recommend!

I wore this dress for a black tie wedding and it was absolutely perfect. Ran true to size, length was great for 5'6,'' and it was super comfortable to dance in! The fabric is thick and forgiving. I was able to wear a regular strapless bra. I received many compliments and felt glamorous all night long! 

I got lots of compliments on the dress.  It's very fitted and runs a little small.  The 6 fit but I felt more comfortable going a size up.  The dress is very stretchy and thus very comfortable to wear.  I was in charge of event so I wanted something elegant when I was up on stage but it was a huge plus that I could also pick up boxes and clean-up after the event wearing it. 

I am16mths post partum with a fluctuating weight-this dress made me feel like a million bucks and comfortable with showing off my post baby body. I should have gotten the 6 because the 4 is true to size and was snug around the breast and waist but that's on me wanting to fit a smaller size ha! Received plenty of compliments and it was truly a show stopper-no bra needed and perfect for dancing

The fit of this dress was amazing! This was my back up dress but RTR had it on my doorstep in no time. I received so many compliments. I can't wait until my next formal event to rent again. 

Very flattering. Thicker material, but not too thick. Able to wear with a convertible bra. Very comfortable.

This dress was SO great. Can't tell from the pictures, but the material is almost like a heavy sweatshirt material... which was perfect for me. I could eat, move, dance, and enjoy myself without feeling super restricted. I normally wear an 8 in jeans and the 8 was a perfect fit. I did wear Spanx to smooth everything out, but it was comfortable without. The slit was appropriate and didn't make me feel self conscious. Got compliments on the dress all night! Personally, loved the color and the neckline. Such a pleasure to wear.
