I chose this dress for my sisters bachelorette party in Las Vegas and it was perfect! It was very fitted with little stretch but I loved it. This dress was quite short on me, but this was the look I was going for. I would rent this dress for a similar occasion again.

I wore it to the Welcome Cocktail for my debutante ball and got tons of complements. It has a corset top (I think-- that, or it's just tight), so you look itty bitty. I LOVED it.

True to size, fit great. The strapless side did start to fold over at the end of the night but other than that it was perfect.

I have nothing negative to say about this dress. I am 5'3, 100 lbs and ordered a size 0 which fit me perfect. I wore this dress to a bar/club and received so many compliments (if only I could keep it). It was comfortable, easy to dance in and the fabric was great. 110% satisfied :)

I absolutely loved this dress. It was for my senior ball so the length was perfect for the middle of June! I wore all gold accessories with it and it looked great. The shape is so flattering and with the mesh overlay it gives a great dimension to the shape and figure of the dress. I would absolutely wear this again!

I wore this dress to my sorority's semi-formal. It was very comfortable to dance in. The shoulder strap was a little long but I was able to make it work. Great length on me- not too long. Another beautiful dress from RTR.

I normally wear a 4 but this 4 was a little to small. Had I gotten the 6 as well it would have been perfect.

I wore this dress to my boyfriend's sister's wedding and got compliments left and rigt! This dress is so different and yet so simple at the same time. It is a little short (I have very long legs) so I had to be very careful bending down if I dropped something on the floor. But other than the shortness of the dress this dress was super comfortable and danced the night away!

I work this dress in Vegas for a bachelorette party. It was flattering and very comfortable- I was dancing all night and never had to make an adjustment. You could wear this dress for so many occassions because while it was sexy it wasn't too revealing

Unfortunately I wasn't able to wear this dress to my event, but I can review it based on my experience trying it on at home! The material feels great - super comfortable. The shoulder strap was too long for me though, and not something that was easily fixable without having the dress altered. The rest of the dress fit pretty well - I'm super short/petite, but there is some stretch in the material so it could accomodate my weirdly small size. I was sad to have to return this!

cute and simple, good fit and cute, understated design. the zipper kept coming down on me whenever i tried to dance though and it wasn't too small. I wore my actual size so i think it's fairly true to size.

I loved this dress! It was a bit short for the engagement party I went to, but a super hot LBD nonetheless. The mesh overlay made me less self conscious about eating, but was also super flattering. I was worried it might be frumy, but it was actually very nicely structured. I got tons of compliments and would definitely rent it again for a night out. Also, this is perfectly true to size. I am normally a size 2 and the 2 fit perfectly.

Really cute dress, received a lot of compliments, wore it for a bachelorette party, the only thing I didn't like about it was the zipper. The girls I went out with kept having to zip it up for me all night because it kept coming down. Maybe it was just my dress in particular, but I ended up having to pin a safety pin at the top of the dress to keep it from coming completely unzipped.

I'm 5'2 and 127 lbs with a curvy/hourglass figure. I was worried about fit because I have a bigger "rear" for my size, but the fit had significant give to it (Stretchy). Also, the draping was very flattering. Even if the dress were tight at the hip, the draping would cover any noticeable pulls. Very comfortable and cute overall. The 4 was pretty short on my 5'2 frame, so keep that in mind taller girls :)

I rented this as a backup dress in an 8 and it fit well everywhere (I'm usually a 4 and wear a 34B), though it was actually far too simple for my event. The entire dress seemed far darker to me in person (the blue more of a black and the grey off-black), and it didn't band in properly in the middle. Had it, I would have found it a lot more flattering. It was still absolutely lovely, however.

I usually wear a 4 and wound up wearing the 6. I didn't have the 4 to compare it to but the 6 fit perfectly. It was extremely flattering, especially since my butt isn't as petite as the rest of my body!

Flattering. The mesh overlay camouflaged areas of my body that I was insecure about. Stretch in fabric kept the dress comfortable. LBD remix.
