This dress was the most comfortable, most flattering, most stunning formal black dress I have ever worn. I felt so confident, and got so many compliments. I will say I have no chest, so had to wear a cupped bra to fill the chest area of the dress. That being said, I had to wear a backless, strapless and still showed slightly in the front lower cut area. Towards the end of the night, it was a little harder to walk in (cannot walk with big strides given mermaid cut) but overall no complaints. I would rent again in a heartbeat! Love love!

Fit perfectly. Very sexy. Got tons of complements and felt amazing. 

Got like a glove, flattering and very thick fabric hid all and kept things in and tight! 

I felt gorgeous in this dress. Form-fitted and flattering. Classy with just the right amount of skin showing. I wish I could have kept it!

Absolutely loved this dress.  Fit was wonderful.  A little hard to walk in because it was tight on the bottom, so don’t recommending having to walk too far.  

I felt amazing in this dress and got so many compliments. The only issues were, because it was a mermaid style dress I didn’t had to take smaller steps than normal and take my time walking up steps. And I had to unzip it from the back to use the restroom, so I always had to have a buddy to help me. Not a big deal, but something to keep in mind. I’d still rent it again.

Great fit, true to size. Wore 3 inch heels and no bra.  Received lots of compliments. Comfortable enough to dance until the end of the night. 

I have a small frame but an athletic build and was nervous about how the bra line/shoulders would fit. Fit well and I got compliments all night long and felt comfortable!! I’m glad I chose the smaller size. 

This dress hugs in all the right places. Quality material, also looked and felt amazing!  I wasn’t sure about it from the pictures but I am so glad I got it!! 

This hugged my curves in the best way and fit like a glove. It was a bit tight in the thigh area and so was a bit hard to walk up and down stairs. The fabric also collects a lot of lint. Otherwise it was great for a black tie wedding! 

I wore this at 6 weeks postpartum and it was so flattering! The material is thick and hides any extra fluff. I got so many compliments. The perfect long black dress!

Im between a size 4 and 6 but it worked well. It might have been a little tighter in the hits because I'm in between sizes but it worked out! Overall very happy with the prize and dress.

 I got so many compliments! I also rented a size 4R and it was too big. I recommend going true to your size. I wore 5" heels and the dress was nearly flush with the ground. I did not wear a bra because you'd be able to see it, but you could definitely wear a low cut bra or use pasties. It is not too tight in the chest at all. 

Absolutely in love with with this dress. I got compliments all night long. I ordered in size 2R because all other options were unavailable. The 4 would've probably been a better fit. For reference I'm 127lbs, 36-29-36. The material is very thick, no stretch. If you plan on dancing all night long you will be HOT!! 

I wore this for a gala for a children's charity so this was perfect because it wasn't too revealing but still had lots of character with the back cut-out's! It also has a spanx-like fit so it was very flattering! I was able to do plenty of dancing in it!! Loved it. 

This dress is so beautiful! Very flattering! I didn't get a chance to wear it. I normally wear a size 4, but had to order a 2 due to availability. It was pretty tight, but had I not needed it for a dancing event I could have worn it. So I would say it's definitely true to size 


This dress fits perfectly and looks very elegant. However, I only gave it three stars because it's a little difficult to walk in and very difficult to go up stairs. I also couldn't get it high enough to go to the restroom so I had to hold it until I got home and took it off; sorry for the TMI. 

The fabric is heavy duty, it feels structured. Sucks you in in the right places. The detailing on the back was just enough. I got multiple compliments on it. The silhouette was great in photos with the slight a-line. And overall it was easy to wear and comfortable!!

This dress made me feel svelte, beautiful, and the perfect amount of sexy. I wore my regular size, 4R, which was the perfect fit and length. The material has virtually no stretch, and getting it over my hips gave me some anxiety. Just wiggle in slow and steady and be patient. You will have to completely unzip to use the restroom so be sure to go before you get dressed. I had to take smaller-than-usual steps and climbing stairs took extra effort but it was worth it for how phenomenal the gown is. No regrets, loved every second I wore it!!

I received endless compliments on the dress. My boobs were definitely on display too. I wore a dipping U shaped bra so it wouldn't show. It would be possible to go braless, but after 10 months of breastfeeding, that wasn't an option for me. The mermaid style made impossible to spread my legs wider than my shoulders, but I was still able to dance, but not drop it like it's hot if you know what I mean. I'm 5'2" so I needed to wear platform high heels just to try and break even with the floor. 

I'm typically a 4/6 but ordered a 6 and 8 for my event as other reviews mentioned sizing up if you have larger hips. Ended up wearing the 6 because the straps were too long on the 8 although both dresses fit well. Overall would rent again! 

After reading reviews indicating the dress was not made for women with large busts, I was a bit concerned about how it would fit, but I thought it was perfect & had no concerns about cleavage! The dress was well made, and the heavier fabric lent well for a formal evening gown. 
I am 5'7" and wore an 8R and with my small heel the dress was just a tad short. However I think the 8L would have been too long. 
Overall I was really pleased with my first RTR experience, and if you are looking for a classy elegant gown, with a touch of sexy - look no further! This dress was AMAZING & I got compliments all night long!

I loved this dress! It hugged every curve and made me feel beautiful! I received tons of compliments. It is a little difficult to do stairs tho because it's tight through leg area 

This dress fit perfectly! It was extremely comfortable and Was perfect for the Gala we attended. 

I'm a little in between sizes. I actually could have gone down to a 4 but I think I would have been a little uncomfortable. Wore this for some engagement photos and it shot beautifully. The dress flares at the bottom so had fun with that in pictures. I'd highly recommend the dress as it will be flattering on most! 

Loved the dress! Got a lot of compliments. 

This dress was very flattering in every way. It's a thicker material with some give to it. The detail in the back is a nice touch! 

This gown was beautiful and fit my body nicely.  The only downfall is that it is tight at the knees so my steps were smaller when walking and dancing was a little different. Other than that, I felt great in the dress all night. (P.s- you may need a bathroom buddy to help zip you up since it's tight at the knees)! 

Cannot walk in this dress. Everything fit well, the style of this (I have worn many myriad styles) was not working, from Mid thigh to knees were impossible. Everything else was great about the dress!

This dress was absolutely gorgeous. Thick material kept everything in place and I felt confident and sexy at the black tie wedding we attended. I was going to wear boob tape, but it didn't come in time. Still felt comfortable, just had to keep an eye on the girls. Wish I had more events to wear this to, otherwise I'd buy it!

Didn't wear because of the lack of room in the bust. Super flattering otherwise!

I loved wearing this dress! It's sexy without being overly revealing. Since the dress is so fitted in the thighs, it's a little challenging to climb stairs. Ended up being a little large in the bust for me but nothing a sticky bra couldn't fix.

Usually a 2 but kinda hippy so I had to wear my back up 4L. It fit beautifully and was long enough! I got many compliments! A few cons though...I had to have a friend come to the bathroom with me cause I could not shimmy it up they had to literally unzip me and zip me back up. I forgot my sticky bra" but needed something. Was able to wear a black bra because the straps did not show in the back and the small bit that showed in the front looked like it could be part of the dress. 

Chose it as a Halloween Morticia costume. The shape is flattering to my pear figure. Not very easy to climb stairs in it because of the mermaid style, but ok to walk with. I am rather a 6 on top and 8 for bottom, and this 8R size was the right choice.

This was a gorgeous pick for my military ball. Thick fabric keeps everything in place with no worries or tugging throughout the night. At 5'7 I really needed the long, but I made it work with flat shoes. If you're thick in the hips you might want to size up, cause this dress was a tight squeeze in that area. The cutouts on the back mean no bra or shape wear, but I'm small enough on top for that not to be an issue. All in all, I was thrilled with this dress and my husband thought I should buy it.

PROS:
+ form fitting
+ hugs in the right places, cinching at the waist
+ gives the girls a nice lift!
+ simple, sexy, classy 

CONS:
- back fat spillage 
- you have to take the whole thing off to use the bathroom

OVERALL:
> it was fabulous, get the dress, but get a size up as a back-up. 


If you are 5'9" and the long is available- get it! It was not, so I wore the smallest heels possible to make it work. I fall between a 6 and 8 and the 8 was definitely the right size. It's a bit snug in the thigh area which was my only complaint, as someone with an athletic build! Loved the dress and got amazing compliments.
