This was a stunning dress but surprisingly, the length was too short (and I'm only 5'1). It gets tricky because you can't really wear it with a bra so there was quite a bit of tape involved. 

RTR was very accomodating about the length issue and they sent me a different dress altogether. Ultimately, I ended up sticking with this one and just dealing with the length. 

An instant YES before we even zipped it up. Very flattering, very comfortable VERY lowcut. You will need a deep plunge bra. Also needed high platform shoes for the regular length...she is 5'4".

Great dress is you want to feel elegant.  The low neckline is sexy but not too much.  The dress is also great if you need to eat! 

This was my second rental with RTR and I loved it. I wore this to my fiance's fraternity's formal dinner. Everyone was giving me compliments all night! I was concerned about this dress because other reviews stated that the dress ran short, so even though I'm fairly short I ordered a long. It worked out great, I was able to still wear my heels and they just barely showed. Also I was concerned about an all red dress since its not really my color but it was more of a raspberry tone which I completely loved. The dress is thin and low cut so keep that in mind which choosing undergarments. I did not wear a bra and wore regular seamless underwear. I rented the 4L and 6L which both fit but I chose the 4 for a slightly slimmer fit. 

I wore this dress for my brother in law's wedding.

Here are the pros
I love the material, is not that clinging polyester crap that most dresses are made off.
The weight of the dress is light. My biggest concerns before renting the dress was boob area..
FYI I would not recommend a bra, the plunge is way too low for that. Instead bought, the hollywood fashion tape and the nipple cover-up, which worked awesome!! 
The dress fitted like a glove but not super tacky-tight. The front knot is the perfect in covering problem areas like the belly and slimming the waist. 

Cons,
Way Too Sexy! Just kidding...
I did not like that the zipper in the back of the dress, I feel like is should had been place at the side, for a more seamless look.

I am 5'3 and I felt like the dress was a bit short like 4 inches off the floor with heels.


I didn't wear this dress because my particular one had a malfunction (RTR was GREAT and overnighted me two more dresses to Charleston - Thank goodness I still had an amazing dress (even better!?!) dress to wear to the wedding) 

But I have to say this dress was very flattering and comfortable. It wasn't as low on me as I expected from the other photos. My dress was 6 inches too short (I'm only 5'1) due to the malfunction - the only reason I gave it 4 stars. But I know RTR was working to make sure they got the problem fixed. 


I really loved this dress and wore it to a wedding reception. The cut of the dress makes your waist look teeny tiny! No one could stop talking about how "amazing" I looked! I would suggest ordering your size in both a regular and a long. The 2 regular was too small, but the 2 long fit great (although it was a little long). I would also suggest wearing a strapless, seamless bra, as the material is thin and you might not want any bra lines. Hollywood fashion tape is a must as the plunge is very low! 

I was double booked for 2 holiday parties in the same night and it was perfect for both. The crepe jersey material was comfortable, easy to dance in and it hides most female imperfections (i.e. tummy). I would absolutely reccomend this dress :)

This dress is simply stunning - no beadwork or anything "extra" - just simple elegance! I wore this to a black-tie fundraising event and felt like the belle of the ball. The 4R fit perfectly and the length was great with my 4" heels. The draping in the front is great for hiding anything you don't want hanging out (so no sucking in all night!). However, spanx were a must because the back is very plain and smooth so you'll want extra smoothing back there! I'm very small-busted so I couldn't go bra-less with this dress. I wore a nu-bra (just didn't clip it together) along with some fashion tape and I was set for the night. Even after the fact, I continue to get compliments on this dress! The Kenneth Jay Lane Sculpted Branch Cuff was a perfect accesory. Was sad to have to send it all back!

The only challenge was that it was very long. I have 3 1/2 inch heels, would have been better with a 5 inch. Other than that it fit like a dream - made my bust look larger and waist smaller! 

This dress is rather stunning. The only issue I had with it is the fact that I had to go up a size from a 2 Long to a 4 Long because I have broad shoulders. The 4 fit perfectly in the shoulders but was baggy in the waist/midsection area.

Also, if you plan on ordering a Long, make sure you have 4-5 inch heels. I am 5'8" and wore 5 inch heels and still had to carry the dress sir around most of the night to avoid stepping & tearing it.

This dress was beautiful! I was very happy with it. I am tall so the "Long" option was great for me. I wore it with 4 inch heels and it was about a 1/2 inch from the ground. The color looks a bit different in person. I was expecting a slightly deep red - what I received was pink/raspberry. 

The best thing about this dress is it is very comfortable! I wore it for 8 hours and felt great.

Thank you for your undergarment suggestions! I was a bit unsure about what to put under. You look fantastic! Sold!

Wore this dress for a black tie wedding in Santa Barbara. I felt confident and sexy in this elegant Issa gown. Paired it with Kenneth Jay Lane “Polished Crystal Drop Earrings” and “Sculpted Branch Cuff” and completed the look with Rebecca Minkoff’s “Step and Repeat Clutch” - loved every item and the complete look.

Would HIGHLY recommend spankx for anyone, any size looking to wear this gown – it just needs the extra coverage to smooth everything out. Also, I chose to wear Victoria’s Secret “U-Plunge Push-Up” which was perfect! And, for a little extra protection I added fashion tape to avoid any malfunctions.
