I liked the dress, but I didn't love the dress. It arrived without the belt; I contacted RTR and they said they would overnight the belt to me, but I never received it. So this dress review is for the dress without the belt....
The pros: This dress is a quality heavy fabric that drapes nicely. It's extremely comfortable - I never felt like I was exposing myself or had to be careful about bending over, etc. The draping hides any stomach insecurities. The back is lovely and unexpected (as another reviewed said). 
The cons: I felt that the dress was a bit long; it hit at or just below the knees. I also felt like the draping in the front was a bit overwhelming for my petite frame. Maybe the belt would have helped with that. And as other reviewers have said, it does run large, so maybe that was part of the problem. I also felt, personally, that the style of the dress was more suited for someone a bit older (40+). 
Note: I also purchased the NuBra backless/strapless bra to wear with the dress and it worked perfectly (see my review for the bra). 

I needed to wear a purple dress for this wedding and found this on on RTR. Size 4 wasn't available so had to get a 6 or 8. The 6 was too big but I wore it anyway and they forgot to include the tie around the waist which may have helped the look being too big. Nonetheless, still got a ton of compliments and would recommend this dress. The back was also amazing and that's what everyone complimented on! It also runs long. I would say it's true to the size.



I ordered the 4 (my normal size), and the 0 (only option at the time for a backup). I am sure glad I did! I tried on the 0 first and it fit wonderfully. It definitely is a tricky dress to try on but looks great on A and B cup ladies like myself. I wore pasties with this dress as it is backless, but I almost didn't need it with the draping across the front. This dress hugs your body so make sure to wear seamless underwear or spanx. The sash comes with in a bag and mine had some dried food on it-kinda gross, but it came off fairly easily. Overall a great dress, but if you're normally a size 2 or 0 this dress will be too big for you.

This dress was very comfortable and flattering.  The back got lots of compliments and attention when I turned around.  It does run very large in the chest area.  I normally wear an 8 and went with the 6.  I would honestly have loved to try on the 4.  I definitely had to wear a backless, strapless bra and due to the looseness in the top, I had to use fashion tape to pull the dress up higher.  Without the tape, I would have been exposing my entire chest area.  I did not wear the tie around the waist.  Overall, I really liked the dress and would consider renting it again.  

This dress has definite sex appeal without being raunchy.  Wore it to a cocktail party and received numerous compliments from friends and total strangers.  The open back is what really makes it.  The length was perfect (just above the knee) and the bust line was cut just right (wore my NuBra and was fine).

I rented this dress for an on-the-water wedding in Jamestown, Rhode Island. It was perfectly casual-yet-dressy, and I got so many compliments on it (and a number from a cute guest!). I would say it runs true to size or slightly larger; I usually wear between an 8-10 and I went with the 8 because it is slightly stretchy. The length is great, although the lining on my dress kept peeking out of the bottom. I wish I could afford to buy this dress! I would definitely recommend it. (please excuse the horribly awkward pictures; luckily i got awkward candids of the back of the dress)

I rented this for family member's wedding last weekend.  It was my first rental from RTR and I was so excited!  My package arrived on time, and the products were great (so THAT'S what a $400 feels like!!)  The dress was comfortable and the color was exactly as shown on the site.  If I'm being *exceptionally* nit-picky: the neckline was a bit low, but nothing that a strategically placed safety pin couldn't fix.  It probably wouldn't be a problem for someone less busty.  I did find that towards the end of the night, the plastic stays at the back of the shoulders started to poke and became slightly uncomfortable. The hem was starting to show wear (ever so slightly), but you couldn't tell unless you were really looking; and when I sat down, the top layer would ride up so the lining would show, but again, the only person who would notice was me.  Overall, the experience was very pleasant, and I am already starting to look for a rental for my rehearsal dinner in October!  

I loved this dress overall, but it was definitely a challenge. The 8 fit better on the bottom, but the top was HUGE. Even on the 6, the top was still a bit looser than I would have liked. You have to wear a sticky, backless bra, which may not work for everyone. The back adds such an extra bit of sexiness though - I felt super sassy all night! 

I received compliments all night and it's just a great dress. It's very flattering, no fuss, no adjusting, it was simply amazing. I felt so comfortable and confident. 

The dress was great and I received LOTS of compliments on it!  The Pro: the ruching in the front will help hide any tummy insecurities you may have and is extremely flattering.  The Con: This dress runs a tad large so make sure to wear a backless bra or get a smaller size then you'd expect to get so you don't run into a dress malfunction!  Otherwise I loved it and you don't necessarily need the tie around the waist,  I wore the dress without it.

Does run a bit big as the other reviewers noted.  Overall though, it hangs well and it is super comfortable.  Would rent this one again.

Very comfortable and sexy dress.  A little loose on the top, but overall great!

Arguably the best dress I've ever rented from RTR and I've rented many! Fit perfectly, amazing color and I received tons of compliments. I was super comfortable and accentuated all the right things. I ordered the adhesive bra/pasties to wear with the dress, which worked perfectly. I'm going to figure out a way to buy this dress because it was so perfect!! Oh and the back is HOTT..wish I had a pic.
