This dress leaves very little to the imagination. 

It was true to size, great fit, all around. Very comfortable to wear.

This dress fit well and looked amazing.  I would recommend it to the girl who wants to look both sexy and elegant. 

Pros-fits like a glove, sparkly without being too flashy, accentuates your bust, don't have to wear too much jewelry, sexy fit, not too heavy. Cons-i loved this dress so much, i can't really find something wrong with it other than the fact i couldn't really dance too crazy because of the slit on the side.

The dress fit me to a T, head to toe.  I ordered an extra long because I wanted to be absolutely certain that my feet were covered.  I am 6' (without heels) 160lbs, the 10 XL was perfect.  I did not have to wear a bra whatsoever.  I felt very comfortable with the amount of cleavage that was exposed.  It was a black tie event where the champagne flowed and we danced the nigh away.  I was very comfortable!  The straps became heavy towards the end of the night, but it was 100% worth renting this dress.  The amount of compliments I received that night will live in my memory forever.  If I could wear this dress every day, I would.  If you are looking for something different and want to feel gorgeous, rent…this…dress!

I am 5'4'' and rented the 4L as well as the 6L for my senior prom. When I saw the dress in person, it was absolutely GORGEOUS, and I've never gotten so many compliments on a dress before. Even one of my teachers told me I had the best dress on! The 4L fit perfectly with my 4.5'' heels. The dress had removable padding similar to what you would find in a bikini top, but I ended up wearing a backless, low-front bra instead of using the padding in the dress. I did notice that the dress became heavier as the night went on, but the straps did not dig into my shoulders. I fell in love with the dress and didn't want to send it back!

Wore this to a military ball.  I'm 5'11, and the long was just long enough to brush the ground.  I had to wear flat sandals, which didnt matter because nobody could see them and I had comfy feet all evening.  The beading is beautiful, the color is very rich, and its got an old Hollywood feel to it.  I got a TON of compliments!  Its a bit low cut, but lingerie tape can help with that!

It's very heavy and the weight pulls down on the straps, which then dig into your skin. I would have been more comfortable in the 4, because it didn't pull as much, but it was too large in the bust area. Overall, I wore it the whole night and only began to get very uncomfortable towards the end of the evening.

Absolutely beautiful dress, I didn't want to send it back! As others have mentioned, it is very detailed and heavy.. but it still has some wiggle room to dance. It ran just a little on the large size, I would suggest sizing up. It is a very unique color, more bronze than gold so it was a challenge to find the right shoes and accessories so plan ahead. Also, it is a little low cut, needed the fashion tape to keep it in place. Highly recommend this for a formal event.

I tried this dress on at the NYC showroom in a 4R and loved it! Unfortunately, the 4R became unavailable 2 days before my event so I wore the 2R. Since the fabric was pretty stretchy, the 2R, (while snug) was still manageable. I received several compliments throughout the evening and highly recommend for black tie weddings!

Unfortunately, I normally wear a six, but it was not available so I had to order a size up.  The smaller size definitely would have fit perfect, but the bigger size worked out fine.  Due to this, it was easy to tell that the dress runs very true to size.  It was a surprisingly very comfortable dress.  Such a beautiful dress, I highly recommend it!

This dress was breathtaking. It was a little darker than in the picture but its perfect. It's not too heavy and the length was perfect surprisingly since I'm only 5'3. It was the perfect dress. 

This dress is just as beautiful as the photos if not more! My goal was to look like I came straight out of The Great Gatsby. I loved the beading and the color. People are not lying when they say this dress shows a lot of cleavage. I wore this dress to my senior ball so it was a little uncomfortable to dance in but I felt so beautiful I didn't even care. Received tons of compliments. I rented a necklace as well but there was just too much goin on up there that I didn't wear it. Over all the dress turned out great!

I was supposed to receive the 4 and the 6, but the 4 was damaged so unfortunately I only got the 6.  Thankfully, it fit fairly well however a smaller size could have fit better.  I received compliments literally all night and loved the experience despite not receiving the second size and a small tear that my mom was able to sew.  The dress was slightly heavy, but bearable and pretty easy to dance in.  I would definitely recommend this site to anyone based on how accommodating and helpful everyone was.  Overall, loved the dress; loved the experience.  Perfect night and perfect dress. 

I loved this dress. It fit perfectly; fitted without being too tight.  The dress is pretty heavy so the small straps dug into my shoulders and the seam came out on the bottom so one portion of the dress was very long.  None of the minor issues were too problematic, though, and it was such a beautiful and unique dress I would rent again in a heartbeat!

Got this one for a marine corps ball and it felt great, got lots of compliments and the fit was spot on. Definitely a great find!

Overall, it was a lovely dress but it was really heavy with all the beads which made it almost impossible to dance comfortably in. Also it was sort of awkward with the boob part because it wasn't exactly tight enough to pull off the no bra and it was so low cut you could see the adhesive bra. If I were going to his prom again I would probably of chosen another dress. 

Everything about this dress was amazing. The only issues I had were with the heaviness of the dress and the lack of support in the breast area. Make sure you find out how to support your boobs in this dress way before the date of your event.

The fit was true to size. The color is more bronze than gold in the picture. The beading was beautiful. I absolutely loved the dress and received compliments all night! 

I ordered the 2R and 4R.  Both zipped and fit in the body but the 4 had more room on top.  Wore it with a Victoria's Secret U Plunge backless push up bra.  Hollywood tape was very necessary. Color is not as gold as it looks in the picture but it is beautiful.  Wore 3 inch heals and the dress length was perfect.  Called the sylist and she tried to talk me into the Long..so glad I ordered the regular.  The weight of the dress was heavy but did not bother me like it did others who reviewed (wore it for 10+ hours).  Called the sylist for help with jewelry and clutch - she made great recommendations.

So I pretty much fell in LOVE with this dress! I was worried I wouldn't fit (I recently lost weight and went from a size 8 to a size 6), but the fit was PERFECT! The color was a bit darker in gold, but it looked amazing. I got so many compliments from the dress and I assure you heads will turn as you walk by! The only uncomfortable thing about the dress was the amount of cleavage shown and the length, but with dress tape and heels everything was perfect! I HIGHLY recommend this dress for any occasion.

Absolutely stunning dress! Wish, however, there was a little more room for "the girls." 

This dress runs large I'm a size 2 and the 0 fit like a glove, perfect.
I'm 5'6 & around 128 curvy side, I was worried about front being too
revealing but the size down actually held my me in not revealing at all.
It was a bit long but with 4 inch heals it worked. Only con the straps 
were tight & hurt by the end of the night but without a doubt would rent
This dress again!!

It fit great everywhere until the chest area! I felt like my boobs were hanging out all night! I made me feel kinda uncomfortable how exposed they were. Other than that I loved the dress and got SO many compliments on it and how great it looked! I definitely recommend it, especially if you are trying to attract the attention of some men!

It was stunning. I felt like a princess. I ordered the 2R, I am 5'5'' and it was quite long on me. I had a slight panic moment, but brought it to a taylor that put in a temporary hem that was taken out before I shipped it back with no damage done to the dress. My prom was made special thanks to RTR. <3 

I rented this dress for a formal gala in Miami.  I was not sure how it would fit but was confident that it would be fine because of the positive reviews and because Nicole Miller is a fairly consistent designer.  I ordered two sizes, a 2R and a 4R.  I am typically a 4 but ended up wearing the 2 since it fit my body a little bit better.  I think this dress could work on all different body types. I would definitely recommend this dress for anyone having a formal event to go to.  You will get tons of compliments. I agree with the previous reviews that the dress is a darker shade of gold than how it looks in the pictures. 

Great dress...I was able to wear a heel without dragging. Lots of bead work but not a heavy dress at all.   Low cut in front and back so a bra wasn't entirely possible.  I think if you had a fuller chest it could be a little "too much" in certain scenarios...I wore it to a black tie wedding.  Overall, one of my favorites I've ever rented...ever.

I rented this dress for a fraternity formal in New Orleans. The dress is SO beautiful- when I got a call the day before my rental was supposed to come in saying that the 0R was no longer fit to wear and that they only had the 0L available, I decided to go with the 0L rather than wear another dress because I couldn't get over how gorgeous it looked in all the pictures online. The next day, I received two 0L's, which were both the same dress but different shades- I think one must have been newer than the other and made after they updated the style a little. The one that looked newer was more of a mustard gold and had some black beads, while the older one was an antique gold that was not quite bronze but almost there. I chose to wear the older one because I loved the color more and it worked so well with the Oscar de la Renta Jeweled Champagne Branch Cuff I also rented.. I used temporary hem tape, because at 5'4 and with 5.5" platform heels, the 0L was just 1.5" too long for me. The hem tape held very well despite my worries about the dress being too heavy to stay put. I have a bigger rib cage and large shoulders, so I had no issues with the straps hurting my shoulders or the dress being too heavy. During the walks to and from the hotel and the venue on Bourbon St, I got so many compliments from a lot of the fraternity brothers, their dates, and even strangers who saw me on the street! I felt so beautiful and like the best dressed there. I have rented from RTR so many times and this rental truly was my favorite.

I had seen in some comments to go up a size. I am in between a 4 and a 6, so I rented the 6 and 8. I should have gone with a 4, as I am smaller chested and it hung a bit low due to the heaviness of the dress, but I added some inserts (chicken cutlets) and it definitely helped. Altogether, it was a wonderful dress and added to the great night that we all had!

You look amazingg, this is the picture that convinced me to get this dress for my prom. 

The beading is absolutely beautiful, I'd say it even looks better in person. I wore this to my junior prom and got so many compliments, and I was comfortable in it all night. I didn't want to take it off! Gorgeous dress.

This was my first rental from RTR and I loved it!  The dress fit like a glove and was very comfortable. I wore it to a work gala held outside on a beautiful June evening. I got so many compliments and to top it off, a picture of my girlfriend and I was published in Delaware Today magazine. Cannot say enough about this dress! I would definitely rent this one again!

Did you do anything to help it fit well in the chest? I'm about the same body type as you are

Hi Kendall! I would suggest wearing the Braza Strapless Adhesive Reveal Bra with this dress! 

This was my first choice and I was so glad it worked. It fit really well, was a great length, and easy to wear. I'd definitely wear this dress again if I could afford it. I received it a day early so I had time to try it without panicking. LOVED it. The ladies at RTR were great and super helpful determining what size/dress to choose.  Thanks, RTR!

Great fit! The one minor issue I had was the dress is pretty heavy, so I felt like it kept slipping down as the night went on. I'm flat chested so it wasn't a problem, but I can see how it might be a problem for someone with a fuller chest. It is pretty low cut! The fabric and beading was perfect - very glamorous dress without being too flashy.

I got a million compliments which certainly helped my self esteem as this dress is not forgiving and is revealing. I feel like I showed a lot of chest, but luckily I am small chested so with the help of doubled sided tape there were no malfunctions. I didn't use inserts or a bra. I am 5ft 8in and wore 3 inch heels (no platform) and felt the dress was the perfect length.  All in all I felt it might have been a little sexy, but again all the compliments I got helped me pull it off!

This was a perfect Oscar-night fundraiser dress. It fit beautifully and I couldn't walk across the room without people stopping me for a round of compliments. Even though I am 5'8" I wore a regular length and I am glad I did since it was a very on-your-feet event, I would have been worried about stepping on the gown if it were any longer. It looks great with red heels!

I hope you don't mind me asking but Im a size D, compared to your own size do you think the fit would be too tight? thanks

I am not sure if it was tight on me or just a lower cut than I would have liked.  Either way, it is a lot of cleavage.  I hope that helps you make your decision!

The fit was perfect, aside from the chest area.  Being bigger-busted, I probably should have gone with something a little more conservative.  With fashion tape there were no worries about spilling out, but I felt it was too much cleavage for a formal affair.  Also being 5'2 I was worried about the length, but with 4 inch heels, it was perfect - I prefer to have my feet covered completely though so it may be too long for some people's liking.  Overall, it was the perfect dress aside from the cleavage issues.

This was my first time working with RTR. The event was a black tie affair and I felt extremely elegant.  It fit perfectly and was remarkably comfortable to dance in.  As noted in other comments, think BRONZE when trying to accessorize...I ADORE  this dress!
