Fit my busty figure well, and I actually got to wear a real bra with the dress, which was a nice change!

Wore this for New Year's this year.  Rouching and velvet combo very flattering. It was longer than I expected but still hit mid thigh.  Cowl super sexy and perfect for the party.

Fit perfect and was warm because of the velvet. I got tons of compliments. Great for a fall or winter wedding.

Got this in an 8 and 10 - the 8 fit perfectly for my curvy figure.  My fiance loved it, very sexy and shows off your cleavage! Comfortable too for being so form fitting. I'm tempted to rent it again!

Another great Nicole Miller experience! This dress is perfect for a fall/winter cocktail party. The cut is super flattering and so sexy - slight cowl neck, a bit of ruching in just the right places. Beautiful color as well.

This dress was fabulous!  I would normally wear a 4 but the cowl drooped too low.  The ruching was perfect and helped accentuate my figure.  The color is a darker grey but looks considerably darker in low lighting.  I would totally recommend this dress.  It's great for dancing!

This was my backup dress for another Nicole Miller that didn't work, but this was a great choice for a small NYE celebration in New York City.  The 6 fit almost perfectly, except it was a little loose around the waist.  My fiance loved the velvet and the neckline was incredibly sexy.  Be prepared to show a great deal of cleavage.  Overall, I was very happy with this dress!

The cowl neck is pretty dang low-cut--you cant wear it with a regular bra, but if you're cool with the low cut it looks really good. It wasn't 100% flattering on me because I'm wider at the waist and don't have hips, so it was kind of straight down, but overall looked pretty good. Not too short, not too long. Very comfy too!

This dress felt and looked wonderful. I felt it was very flattering and my boyfriend absolutely loved it. Would absolutely recommend it. 

Fantastic dress!  I wore this to my birthday party and got tons of compliments in Las Vegas clubs.  The neckline is very flattering and not quite as low cut as it appears on the model.  I was a little surprised by the color; in the pictures it looks more grey, but in person it is more silver and in some lights has a slightly greenish tint.  Still a beautiful dress though!  Looks great with black patent heels and black/silver jewelry.

I was actually able to make this dress go from DAY to NIGHT by wearing an oversized belted grey cardigan and tall black boots with it at the office and then switching to heels and ditching the cardi after hours!
I usually wear an 8 in Nicole Miller and am always hoping to squeeze into a 6. Well this dress was stretchy enough for me to wear the size 6 comfortably.
The lining was weird though... it kept twisting to the left side making the center front seam go with it.

This dress is even sexier than it looks given plunging neckline. Nice stretch in the fabric. Great for a winter cocktail party!

Really cute in person. I was surprised at how flatting it was - however I think the waist fits large and I wish I had sized down.

This dress was great!  I have a "full bust" and I was worried I may be too big but it looked great and I got a ton of compliments.

Love the dress. looks great on.  only complaint is that since I am pettite the top portion of the dress was a bit long.

I rented this for my bachelorette party and got compliments all night! I ordered a size 4 and it fit perfectly. If you have a large bust this dress will look amazing - my push-up bra helped a lot with this one. I thought it would be shorter than expected because it is called a "mini" but was a very good length.

LOVED this dress.  Did not get to wear it because I loved my other dress even more.  Dress was extremely flattering and showed just the right amount of cleavage.  Ruching made any "trouble spots" really unnoticeable.  Great color.

I rented this dress for a new year's party. I got a size 6 and a 4 for backup. Turns out the 4 was perfect for me since the fabric is kind of stretchy. The dress is super comfortable and looked flattering on my curvier figure. 

This dress was great for my NYE celebration in DC.  The velvet was perfect for colder weather and the fit worked well for my athletic build (plus a little extra in the trunk).  The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is that the top was loose (I do not have a little extra up top).  I think this dress would work even better for an hourglass figure.

I think this dress runs just slightly large. I'm usually between and 8 and 10 and I went with the 8, which still bunched slightly in the middle with extra fabric but fit nicely in the chest and allowed me to go sans bra (I'm a 36C). I'm also 5' 10" and this dress was perfect for my height. I wore this to my birthday dinner with simple silver sparkling studs and drop necklace with black heels everyone loved the look. Only general comment would be that I still don't know what color this dress is (dark grey/silver/ dark bronze/gold/?) It looks more brown/bronze in person but silver/grey in photos. I didn't mind the color issue. It's a gorgeous dress regardless!

I am somewhere between a 4 and a 6 in regular clothing, but when it comes to designer clothing, I sometimes wear an 8 or even a 10.  I am 5'5 147lbs. and hour-glass shaped.  I ordered a 6 and an 8 out of concern that this designer dress would run small.  It appears to run true to size and I wore the 6 and wished I had the 4 to try out.  I am sure I could have worn the 4, but the 6 fit just fine.  The fabric has a lot of give.  The dress was classy and I was able to wear it to my holiday party for work and look very fancy, and then to a Sunday birthday brunch dressed down with a jacket and cowboy boots.  I really loved it!  

This dress was beautiful and flattering. It hid all my post-baby bumps while still acquiring me lots of compliments! Though it was longer on me than the model, it was still above my knees.

Very cute for the holidays!  Easy fit, comfortable and SEXY.  Wore it with tights and boots.  Ruching is such a good thing...

Fun dress! Fits true to size - I'm 5'1, 105lbs, and got a 0. The hem fell just above the knee, very flattering. Wore it to my husband's holiday party and got lots of compliments. Like other reviewers said, will look fantastic on a larger bust. If you're like me (34B), a little dress tape might be necessary - thanks RTR for sending that little kit! Overall great experience, will definitely be renting from the site again.

was too big/long to wear to the event
otherwise, was really soft and comfortable when i tried it on

this just dit not work for me - too big in the waist with the medium, Im sure the small would have been too small on my booty. 

The material of this dress is gorgeous, but the cut was a little weird. This was my backup dress for a wedding, and I sent it back because the runching made me look like I had a belly pooch.

I'd recommend the dress for sure.  The only thing was that I don't consider myself to have a super-tiny waist, but even the zero was definitely too big in the waist, and made the whole thing look a little sloppy.  Overall, though, I got compliments and people liked it.

Hi Liza, we are sorry to hear this dress didn't work for you! We are updating our fit notes to reflect your comments - better for full bust and tall. Thanks for sharing your experience.

I agree with the reviewer who stated that the dress is beautiful.."but not on me".  Better for a fuller bust, taller girl perhaps.  On my petite frame (aka, short legs), the velvet was too overwhelming and the neckline very slouchy.  If your lucky to be tall and busty, go for it!

Beautiful dress!  But not beautiful on me.  I am petite with no curves.  The rouching was flattering but, surprisingly, the cowl neck did nothing for my chest area (which is non-existent).  The first mistake I made was by letting my husband choose the dress!  I will definitely give RTR another shot but next time I'll choose the dress I really want.  The dress was also very comfortable on, I just didn't feel comfortable in it.

This dress is very form fitting but the rouching makes it quite flattering. Good for a large bust, and not too short on long legs. 

I wore this one with tall boots during the winter for a big girls' night out for multiple birthdays.  I got lots of compliments, and it was super comfortable.

This was my favorite dress!  It was snug but the cowl neck and ruching made it look great, I would rent it again.

I was not a fan of this dress at all.  There was no shape to it at all.  My hourglass shape fell so flat in this boring dress.  Nothing special here. I didn't even consider wearing it.  Maybe for someone with a straight body... and don't worry... a large bust won't help here.
