I bought this dress and it fits well. It's a fun and sparkly dress that was great for Vegas!

My dress was missing the belt featured in the picture, but the dress looked and fit fine even without it.

This dress fit SO perfectly! I absolutely loved it for the Magic Castle dinner party we had! It's hugged my curves in all the right places and I feel it flattered my petite, hourglass, busty body! 

I did not get the sash that was in the picture but the dress still looked great. I had compliments from other wedding guest all night! 

There is some extra fabric up top, I used fashion tape to tape the back where there was sum puckering. The color of the sequins looks silver on the model, but it is actually more of a blush color. I also had a low plunge bra which helped fill out the top.

The fit on the bottom is tigher if you a larger black end! 

I rented this for a new years eve party. It arrived with the belt missing and I was expecting the top half of the dress to be silver, not gold. The bottom half of this fit fine but the top was so big. I am a 36C and I wore a plunging deep V push up bra and still couldn't fill it out enough for the fabric not to flop around. My bra kept showing and I was pulling at the top all night trying to keep everything in place. Double sided tape might have helped but I didn't have any on hand. I wouldn't have worn this out at all if I had had time to go get another dress. RTR customer service was great though!

Fit was just right, and more modest than I expected. :) I was alarmed seeing boobs everywhere in the photos on this site, but as a small chested woman I had nothing to fear. Pretty comfortable, and definitely unique!!

Wore this to a 1920's themed work  Christmas party, received so many compliments on it! The color was very pretty, paired it with some Jessica Simpson nude patent leather heels. RTR never disappoints!!:)

I wore this dress for a 20's themed Murder Mystery party. I got a ton of compliments on my outfit all night, it really fit the theme! The dress was a little snug on the bottom -- I really needed a 0 on top and a 4 on the bottom. I wore a pearl necklace from RTR which helped keep the top part on throughout the night, but with some fashion tape it would've stayed on. My hair was up in a faux-bob, but it did get stuck in the sequins and pieces got pulled out throughout the night -- this would be really annoying if my hair was down (I have waist-length hair). Overall, the dress was a huge hit and I loved to wear it!

Fit great! I ordered it for a 20's party and it worked perfect for the theme. 

I have a large butt, the lower section of the dress is pretty tight through my rear. The top is cute, just be sure you have the correct under garment. I wore a push-up bra to fill out the top. The sequins under my arms was a bit scratchy. 

I wore this for a Prohibition Cocktail Party and it was perfect for the occasion. 


Beautiful dress, flattering for a bigger chest, but not so flattering if you have a bigger bottom. The ruffles tend to add to the volume on the bottom. Overall, it was stunning and I got tons of compliments! 

Rented for a Gatsby event and it definitely fit the bill. Some fashion tape is definitely necessary as it is low cut. I didn't wear any and I regret it. Overall it's a great dress! 

The dress was in pristine condition and fit absolutely true to size. So gorgeous in person. Arrived right on time and return shipping was easy peasy.

Dress was flattering & easy to wear! Perfect for a bridal shower :)

Although this is a sexy, cute, and fun dress, it wasn't my favorite rental. I rented it for a bachelorette weekend in Vegas and it served its purpose. It photographs well and you'll get lots of compliments. My long hair kept getting stuck in the sequins though so that was uncomfortable. I didn't think the dress was too short at all and because the size 2 fit perfectly snug, I didn't even need sticky tape for the deep plunging neckine. I also used the sash to cinch the waist and tied in the back. Paired with nude Stuart Weitzman strappy stilettos. 

Beautiful dress but very low cut and short! 

Wore this to a Gatsby themed party.  I had to fix a tear & the zipper in the size 6 that I ordered only to discover that it was VERY short when I sat down,  The tops of my stockings showed and I'm only 5'0.  Luckily I had ordered the 8 for backup.  It was a bit too big in the top so used double sided tape but the length was just right.  The top was a bit scratchy under the arms but the dress was gorgeous and I got tons of compliments.

I wore a size 8 but it was a little big on top but a size 6 would have been way to short. The sparkes were a little uncomfortable   But I think it was because it was a little loose so it moved a little more!! There was a lot of cleavage showing so don't wear it if your shy! 

Great Bachelorette dress!!! Loved it, true to size. A little short for my bubble bum but with stockings I felt great!! Sooooo many complements :) 

Fit a little large in the chest but overall, a flattering dress that was super fun to wear!

For reference I'm very petite... 5'1" and 90ish lbs. A good fit is tough to find without a little alteration, but the length of this dress was perfect 
This dress is proportioned for someone taller and a little fuller chested, so not surprisingly it needed a little pinning. But after a few adjustments for a good fit, I felt so pretty in this little dress! The sparkle is just SO fun. 
I picked a grey sash I had to wear with the dress instead of the matching sequin one that came with because I like a little more contrast. 
I'd love to find another reason to rent it. 

The dress fit perfectly - other reviews mentioned being too big in the bust, I found no problem with that (34C). I opted to go without the removable sash because it was too bulky (plus my girlfriends made me a bachelorette sash anyway).  The dress was so fun, comfortable, and I didn't have a problem with it being too short (but I am 5'4"). Also, I think it looked more gold than silver.  Overall, I would totally recommend for any girls night out!

I rented this for my friend's bachelorette party. It was a great fit with just enough sparkle that wasn't too overwhelming. The color of the skirt was nude and the sequins looked like rose gold. The structure of the dress was very flattering. I usually wear a size 4 but it was too low on top. The 2 fit perfectly and may be a bit more snug then I'm used too. However, overall the dress was very flattering.

It fit well but the dress has a deep V neck.  I was a little worried  few times that I was going to "fall out" of it.  The sparkles make you feel like you should be at a NYE party.  The ruffles on the bottom really make the dress and are flattering.  I have a thin waist and wider hips and I really loved the fit of it.  There is a belt that helps define your waist.  I wear a 4 in Express usually but wore this dress in a size 6 just because I was more comfortable in it than the 4.  

I'm 5'11 and this dress in size 6 and  8 was way too short. Size 6 top fit but the bottom was not doable. Would required tricky bra rigging.

Love love loved the dress! Wore it to a very classy evening wedding at a 100 year old mansion. RTR really saved my tush this time, because the first dress I ordered was just all wrong and was actually damaged too. They were able to overnight me 2 sizes of this dress right to the hotel I was flying into and they were waiting for me at check-in. Like others said, the dress was pretty short, and since I have quite the booty, I went ahead and bought a pair of little nude colored shorties so I wasn't self conscience the whole night. I didn't think it was too low cut like others mentioned, nor did the sequins irritate my arms while I danced all night. Sitting was a little uncomfortable because of the length but I didn't stay seated long so that wasn't a big problem. Also, I thought it was weird that I got a 6 & an 8, and somehow the  6 was bigger than the 8. Over all, I really loved it, got lots of complements and people couldn't believe it was from RTR. Can't wait for my next rental in 2 weeks :)

The dress was a little slim through the hips, but other than that, it fit perfect!  It was so classy but still fun!  I received TONS of compliments on it.  Such a fun dress to wear! 

I wore this dress to a Gatsby-themed Christmas party and it was a hit.  I received so many compliments - strangers even asked me to take photos with them!  I typically wear a size 0 but  ended up wearing my size 2 backup.  The 0 was a bit tight across my bum (which means Pilates has been working to make it more bubbly!) and I liked that the 2 had a more dramatic V in front (though I did use a safety pin to close it up a bit).  It seemed like the 0 had stitching halfway up the chest to close the V and the 2 might have had the same stitching at one time but it was torn by wear.  No worries!  The safety pin did the job.  This was my first rental and the whole process was so easy and fun that I can't wait to do it again!

I'm beyond satisfied with this dress! Very nice fit. I normally wear size 0 which they didn't have, so I went with size 2, but it still fit perfectly. Since I'm not tall, I'm amazed that it still sat above my knees which was perfect! I don't have big boobs, but I just LOVE the deep V neck that created the illusion of having bigger boobs (in addition to wearing a wireless push-up bra). I also love how sparkle the top was and the flat ruffles at the bottom. Very nice contrast. Love the color, too. Not too pink. And it matched perfectly with my nude pumps.

I got this dress for my bachelorette party. The four and the two fit almost the exact same, but the four was slightly longer. I loved the sequins! I wish the skirt would have been a little more blush rather than nude. I do have a push-up bra on FYI ;-) overall great experience and I can't wait to rent again!

This was even more beautiful than the picture shown on the website. The dress is VERY low cut, but I had been warned by other reviewers before I rented the dress. Because I have a larger bust, I chose to wear a cute shawl to cover things up most of the night. I could see where the top might be pretty loose for those with a smaller chest. Only bummer, like some others mentioned, the tie belt was not included when I received the dress. It turned out okay but I was a little disappointed. Other reviewers were also right about it scratching you under the arms. Overall, this is a great party dress and I would definitely recommend it! 

This dress was stunning. I received so many compliments. I felt the whole room was staring at me as I walked by. It layed perfectly on my tiny frame. Perfect length for my short legs. You may want to rethink if you are a tall lady. The top part of the sequence rubs against your inner arms. There was a lot of dancing involved, so by the end of the night/morning my inner arms were itchy. Still worth it though. Size 4 fit well, but I went with a 2 for a tighter fit. 

The dress is a perfect fit for a roarin' 20's or Great Gatsby themed party!  I received so many compliments all night on the dress!  The dress fit well and the only con is it does rub under your arms a bit but with my jacket on I didn't notice a thing.  Definitely a recommended number.

I'm thinking about getting this for a gatsby party. What color shoes did you wear? Also is your headband silver? Thanks! You look great! 

I wore this dress for my surprise birthday party/halloween.  I went as Daisy Buchanan and my boyfriend went as Jay Gatsby.  This was the perfect dress for the occasion! The sparkle on top wasn't too itchy and I was extremely comfortable in it. The subtle ruffles on the bottom were so pretty and flattering.  The day before the event, RTR sent me two size 6's by accident and to make up for it they shipped my proper size (8) (throwing in the Dress Me Up Necklace for free) to our hotel in Atlantic City with rushed over night delivery.  It came the morning of the event and looked fabulous.  The customer service of RTR can not be rivaled.  I will continue to use them for my major events.  

I rented this dress for a New Years event.  I received several compliments on the dress.  Although I was skeptical of how the dress may fit at first, it looked great when worn!  It fit true to size.  I ordered a size 4 and 6.  The 6 was too big but the 4 fit just right.  I could not figure out how to tie the sash in a way that I liked so I did not wear it.  

I had a "Kissing My Roaring 20s Goodbye" party and rented this amazing dress. This was my first rental with RTR. The whole experience was amazing, easy and fun! I ordered the 4 and the 6. The 6 was longer and comfy but the 4 held everything in place better! :) It was definitely shorter, but hey you only turn 30 once so I decided to rock it! ;) It was a tiny but itchy under the arms but after a cocktail who noticed? Not me! I didn't have a problem at all with the neckline, Im a small B cup. I was able to wear a VS strapless that already had with no problems! I would definitely recommend this dress and RTR in general. It was an unforgettable party and RTR helped make it all happen!

This dress was perfect for our 20's themed NYE hotel party downtown Baltimore. The top was a little big but I was still able to wear a strapless bra without any problems. Under the arms did get a little scratchy but barely noticeable. I didn't think the dress was too short and I'm 5'7. So all in all this was a perfect frilly sparkly party dress even without the belt (which was not available when the dress was shipped so I just bought a satin ribbon that matched)

I would have never thought this dress would look good until I saw it on you! So pretty!

Fit small through hips and was short but very large through top, I am a 36 D-DD and I had extra room. Thank god for double stick tape.
