Random people were coming up to me saying how great my dress was! Good sign of a great rental
I rented a size 4L. It was perfect for my 5' 8.5" body. I would have loved it to be an inch or two longer, but it was fine for the 3" shoes I had. I was hoping to wear other taller heels, but it was NO big deal. I ended up wearing spanx, but according to my husband I didn't need to. I just put them on for an insurance policy since the dress is very fitted. The dress is comfortable, slimming, heavy material and relatively well made. It's not the most expensive-feeling dress I've worn, but feeling confident in something makes up for much of that. It really was a great dress.

My second time renting this dress...I love it!
My very first RTR experience was with this same dress only in green. I actually planned to rent the Zemu Glacier gown this time, but I unfortunately got a call from RTR a few days before my event saying that it was returned damaged beyond repair. They were fantastic about making it right and sent me three dresses to choose from. I knew this one would be a winner, so I threw it in the mix. It is the one I ended up selecting. Comfortable, elegant, great for tall women. I am just under 5'9" and was wearing 4" heels. It was perfect.

Perfect for the occasion, comfortable, great value for the price
As a spokesperson for the American Heart Association and the Go Red for Women movement, I need to wear a lot of red. I have stopped buying red dresses and use RTR as my go to! This dress was perfect for a charity luncheon. I normally wear a 4. I wore this dress in a 2. The top fit me perfectly. The bottom pulled a little bit around the hips, so I found myself doing a little tugging every time I stood up. The material is on the thicker side, wrinkle resistant. The cut of the dress is flattering.

Dress was damaged but RTR made it right
I was sooooo bummed when I got the call 4 days before my event saying that the dress I reserved for my upcoming event was damaged beyond repair. I was really looking forward to wearing this very unique, stand-out gown. RTR was fantastic about finding a replacement and in fact sent me several options, one of which was about 4 times the rental price of what I originally reserved. Unfortunately that dress didn't work, but the other two back-ups they sent were great and I actually had a hard time deciding which beautiful dress to wear.

Beautiful dress. Strangely proportioned.
I ended up wearing my back-up dress, not this one. The length was perfect - I am just shy of 5'9" and had on 3" heels. It was too tight in the hips but too big in the stomach and waist. I ordered this for a June event. I think the material is too heavy for the summer. The top is a dark muted pink, not red like it looks in the picture.

This was a very strangely-fitting dress
This was my back up and I ended up not wearing it. I am normally a 4 and this dress was laughably small. I think I would have had to be a minus AA to be able to zip it past my rib cage. It was very weird I even rechecked the size to make sure it wasn't a 0. I think this would be a nice dress for an outdoor (maybe in the tropics) summer wedding.

My1st dress was too short, and with 36 hours to go before my event, the Go To Girls saved the day!
I cannot tell you how impressed I am after my first experience with RTR. This dress was a dream. My FB page exploded with comments like glamorous, Hollywood, gorgeous, classy, perfect for the occasion. I don't think I've ever worn a dress off the rack that fit me better. I am 5' 8.5", and with 3" heels the 4L fit perfectly. I could have gone to 3 1/2 and it would have been fine. I am typically a size 4 in formalwear so the fit was right on. I loved the color. It's a just a bit more jewel-toned than Kelly green. It really popped. I really didn't want to send this dress back. :)

I don't know that I will ever buy another dress from the store! RTR was a fantastic experience.
I did not end up wearing this dress. I am 5' 8.5" and the 4L was too short for anything other than flats - and they would have shown. As far as fit in the body - the 4 was perfect.
