I wore this dress to a charity event a week after having a breast reduction, so I had to wear a grandma bra and needed a dress that could cover it up and still look cute. This dress was perfect for what I needed. Super comfortable and got lots of compliments. The fit was true to size. My only advice is to use fabric tape (or wear a black bra) since it did sometimes ride up a tiny bit. 

I got a ton of compliments on this dress. So comfortable and fit like a glove. 

I was looking for the perfect lbd for my bachelorette party. After reading the other testimonials on fit and shape, I decided to go with a size 4 (which is what I usally wear). I'm tall, so I wasn't sure if the dress was going to be long enough or where the cutouts would hit on my back. The dress came the night before the party and I didn't have a backup so I was nervous. I ordered a backup size of 6, just incase the dress ran small. I tried on the 6 first, and it was a little baggy. I tried on the size 4 and it was perfect! For being as tall as I am, the dress is super stretchy and came to about 3 inches above my knee. The back cutouts were just the right amount of sexy, without being too flashy. I wore a normal bra with this dress, I just shortened the straps. I also work seamless underwear, and you couldn't see any lines. Obviously the more you move, the more the dress rides up, but it was never to the point where it was uncomfortable or annoying. I am going to Vegas in a few weeks, and I will definitely be renting this dress again!!

The dress fit perfectly, runs true to size. The dress is sexy in an understated way. One tip is that you definitely can't wear a bra with it though, so if that is something that concerns you then I definitely would not rent this dress. Otherwise, it's great! I loved it so much that I bought it online in blue (they aren't selling the black anymore).

OVERALL REVIEW: I wore this dress for my birthday and it couldn't have been more perfect. I wanted something that looked classy and chic, yet sexy and this dress hits all points. I paired it with the Pirate Treasure Necklace by RJ Graziano.
UNDERGARMENTS: Others have complained about what bra to use but I didn't have a problem at all (and I'm well endowed!). I wore a regular black bra (just in case the dress rode up around the cut outs and my bra became exposed - although that was never an issue). What I did was shorten the straps as far as they could go so the back part of the bra band was much higher on my back than usual. This way, the top of the opening in the back didn't expose my bra. Simple solution - no need for NuBras! I will say that I chose to go commando, but that's not entirely necessary. You'd probably be fine with a good pair of no-show panties. Also, the length was likely a little longer on me than most, since I'm on the short side, so taller girls probably wouldn't feel comfortable without underwear. Others have mentioned the need for shapewear. I didn't feel I needed it because the rouching in the front of the dress is very flattering and forgiving.  
SIZE/FIT: Overall, the size seemed perfect. I'm usually between a 2/4 in dresses and while I could have probably gotten away with the 2, the 4 seemed to cling in all the right places without being skintight and unflattering. As others have said, the sleeves are very long (note: I have short arms), but they just bunch a bit at the bottom, making them look rouched like the front of the dress. So not an issue at all. From the front, the cutouts are perfectly sized so you're not showing too much skin. The back is obviously exposed, but not at all in a trashy way. The material of the dress itself was incredibly comfortable (it's a little thicker than jersey). 


The dress fit perfectly! The material was great because it was thick enough to hide minor imperfections, while still being comfortable. I was a little nervous when I first tried it on, because the back seemed more open than I thought it would be. I also had to wear a NuBra because a regular bra showed in the back. However, I still felt great! This dress was AMAZING and I would absolutely rent it again.

I rented this dress for my 10 year high school reunion. At first I was a bit intimidated because it is pretty revealing for my taste, but I made it out of the house! I felt great in this dress and would totally rent it again. I loved the cut outs, it shows just enough! I am pretty tall and teh dress rides up a bit, so I didnt find myself pulling it down quite a bit.

Wore this on the finale of Bachelor Pad 3, I had bought expensize shoes I wanted a hot black dress that was also trendy and would show off the shoes and this dress couldn't have been better.  The sleeves are long but I liked that.  Thick Jersey material so it doesn't show everything but it's definitely fitted.  You need tape so your bra doesnt show but thats about it.  Might have to buy this dress, best LBD ever :)

This dress was amazing! It fit true to size and I got so many compliments all night! Definitely recommend the dress.

The bra situation was a little tough but found a great backless stick on bra and made it work. Highly recommend this dress.  

U are my size.. N there is only sizes 4 & 6, i usual wear a 2, but a 4 will work? It fit perfect?

my 1st look for the night of events celebrating my 30 (yes...incase my face doesn't tell you- I was feeling FINE from the wine) this dress ROCKED!!! It fit like a glove and the compliments from strangers poured all night! I loved this dress and would rent again! Being able to wear a bra was extra great too! The sleeve are a little long, but the rouching that occurs gives the dress an added touch of texture. 

This was the hottest dress I've ever worn, and everyone loved it! It fit perfectly, and I even got away with wearing a black lace bra underneath it. When the dress occasionally rode up, it looked like the lace was part of the dress and made it even sexier!

Such an insanely hot dress! Wore out to friends birthday party. Can wear a bra which is a perk. Watch out for panty lines. Go with RTR's commando panties. 

The dress was perfect. I could wear a normal bra with it. Only down side was the dress slide up at times revealing my bra, but I wore a black one and you couldn't tell. Overall best LBD ever. 

I wore this out for a friends birthday and it was perfect! Both the 0 and 2 fit but I went with the 0 because the sleeves were a bit shorter and it fit a little better with the cut out in the back.  The fabric is very stretchy and form fitting.

I LOVED this dress! The side cutouts accented my small waist and made me feel really sexy without feeling too exposed. It definitely runs a size large, I normally wear a small and had to wear the extra small and the sleeves are really long, even on the extra small and I don't have short arms... besides the long arms, I Loved it! Wore it to a Fashion Week event and received lots of complements.  

The dress is a little tight in the stomach and it started to ride up a bit when I was walking around but it wasn't anything I couldn't handle. Some other reviews mention wearing spanx but I didn't and I felt fine. It was also hard finding a bra to wear because the top part cuts off too high to wear a normal bra so I ended up having to go without one. I wore the dress to my sorority's christmas party which is usually pretty formal and even though the dress itself isn't super formal I was able to dress it up with nice jewelry, also from RTR. I got so many compliments including some from sisters of other chapters. It's super cute and really comfy. I absolutely loved the dress and would definitely rent it again in the future. 

I loved this dress and got tons of compliments on it!  Fits true to size (i wear 2-4 and chose the 4) although I would suggest some double stick tape to hide your bra.  Material is super comfortable and easy to move in.  I would buy this dress that is how much I loved it!

I wore this dress to a birthday party in NYC in March and I would buy this dress to have and wear over and over again - I loved it. It is a perfect LBD with a little special detail. I love that it is backless but you can wear a normal bra with it, and the length was perfect (it is gathered on the sides).

I loved this so much I wanted to keep it. Classy yet sexy. Loved the open back cut.

Simple and sexy.  Several people asked me where I got it and complimented the dress.

I was out for New Years Eve/my birthday so I wanted to look different and fabulous and I think I nailed it with this dress!  With the side slits and the back open you feel just the right amount of sexy .  I got compliments from guys and girls all night long, and I would definitely reccomend this dress to anyone.

I loved this dress. I wore it out for my birthday and got so many compliments. It's a nice little twist on a little black dress. I decided to wear the dress in a 4 when I'm usually a 6. I would definitely recommend this dress!

Better to plan on wearing this without a bra.  It goes up kind of high in the back to the point where a bra shows.

This dress was so flattering and slimming, my fav rental by far.  Loved the material, the cut, the fact that I could wear a regular bra with it.  I love this dress! 

If I were five years younger and still had a social life, I would buy this in a heartbeat.  It is seriously sexy and very comfortable.  Perfect for a pear or hourglass figure.  I ordered the dress in my normal size and loved the fit and length.  Had I ordered down, I think the tighter and shorter fit would have been too much with the cut-outs.

Only problem: the dress bunched up throughout the night.  Simply pulling down on the hem of the dress didn't solve the issue -- the skirt sprung right back up.  I guess you have to work the fabric from the top of the skirt down through the ruching to lengthen it again.

I wore this for my birthday last year, and it was the perfect dress. It was so comfortable and all though the skirt rode up every once in a while, (too much dancing!) I absolutely loved this dress. 

I wore this dress for a birthday party at an NYC hotel penthouse.  Perfect dress for this kind of venue - and I got compliments all night!!  Super sexy, easy to wear, and you can wear a bra with it!  LOVE.

I wore this dress out in Vegas and got so many compliments! I am 5'5, 105 lbs and I wore the XS, which fit perfectly. It's not too short and I liked the cinching on the sides (over the thigh area). The sleeves were tight, but not in a bad way. The cutout in the back is large (which I loved), but I was still able to wear a regular bra with it. Pair with a statement necklace, some bright heels and/or bag and all eyes will be on you!

Must have for a super hot and sexy fit, the material feels amazing and is pretty comfortable I would recommend to anyone 

This dress is beautiful. The sleeves are a bit tight and long and the length is perfect. 
I have love handles so I felt weird showing my back, but this dress is nice.

Size down, this dress runs big but looks amazing.

I just received this dress today and I tried it on (I ordered a 2 and a 4, although i'm usually a 4 I am definitely going with the 2) and I don't want to part ways with it! It is so sexy, flattering, comfortable and conservative all at the same time. I DEFINITELY recommend this dress!! 

This dress was amazing! A true show-stopper that was also very comfortable. Great for date night.

I'm a 32B, 115lbs and all legs. I'm usually a small in Bebe dresses or size 2 in juniors but rented a size 0 according to other reviews and it fit beautifully. This dress got lots of compliments throughout the night. I have a tattoo up my side and it gave a peek-a-boo show but didn't reveal too much. Definitely worth renting! http://bit.ly/ku2L6Y

This picture doesn't do the dress justice -it's straight up unbelievable. Really flattering and somehow classy despite the amount of skin that's shown. 

I LOVED this dress. I wore it to my friend's prom and I thought it looked great; it was super flattering. It is super short though and I did have some people say I looked trashy (but harsher). I'd still get it again, it made me look great. Arms were long on me though, which wasn't a problem but I have really long arms.
