I had an amazing time at my sorority formal wearing this dress! Classic and sexy!
It was super loose in the chest, I had to safety pin it. Otherwise it was a great length (I'm 5'1) and was extremely flattering in the tummy section.

I've always envied how the guys can rent a tux and be good to go ... just like that. My RTR experience made me feel that I too can be good to go, just like that, but maybe feeling a little more fashionable than the guys!
Make sure your bra and your knickers match with this dress as the neckline is low to there and the slit is high up to there, too! Loved the feel and fit of this dress (once I taped in my bits to preserve my dignity!); it was elegant and comfortable, and while I don't usually wear conservative/traditional black to weddings (because everyone else does), this dress made me want to have a perfect black evening dress in my wardrobe. You will need fashion tape to keep it chic (not cheap) and seamless underwear. It is a beautiful blank canvas for jewelry—I wore a huge cuff and earrings you can't really see in pic. Also wore dark purple shoes and sequin bag for a little flair. Sorry my pic shows with cardi but the chiffon sleeve/fold at shoulder is flattering (if you don't like underarm area showing like in so many dresses) and the fitted waist is flattering with a fold that perfectly disguises any tummy complex you might have.

I felt like a princess in this gown!
I loved this gown! I recommend it for someone with a smaller chest. The V is very low so I needed to pin the dress. The regular length worked for me and I am 5"3. I probably could have worn the dress in a size smaller as well since it has a looser fit.

Great dress. Fit me very well and was very comfortable. My only issue was, it was a very low cut so I had to manage that with double sided tape. Other than that, had a lovely night in that dress and received many compliments.

This dress was a show stopper! So Flattering! Great for a formal Affair!
I received this dress after a crazy dress situation thanks to the help of Lindsay at RTR. She suggested this dress and when I received it, it was everything I wanted and more. I am usually a size 4 or 6 and this dress was the perfect length and fit. The only reason why I gave this dress 4 Stars is because I had to tape up the whole front of the dress since it was very blousey. The tape worked well and stayed the entier night. I was able to wear a regular bra which added to the comfort of the dress. The bra strap also helped keep the dress up since I pinned it to the inside of the dress. The slit is a little high so I also has to tape that to make sure there were no mishaps when sitting down. After all of the cosmetic altering, the accessories and the dress was a show stopper. Just make sure you have double sided tape, safety pins, and some time to get ready!

Gorgeous dress for a formal event
This was my backup dress, but turned out to be a much better option! A bit snug to zip up, but overall a nice fit. I'm not sure about the "sleeves" over the shoulders, but overall great!

I wore this dress for a black tie charity event. It was very slimming around my waist and also very comfortable. I should have gotten the regular length instead of the long because my friends were stepping on the back of the dress throughout the night and I wore 3" heels. The only thing I did not like was how low and open the dress is on top. The picture of the model does not accurately demonstrate how low and wide the neckline is. I had to pin it up and tape it so it wouldn't reveal my chest too much. Other than that, I loved it. I love RTR! I will definitely be renting more in the future.

Sad but true: The dress is gorgeous but did not fit!
This dress was one of kind but it ran small around the waist but too big at the tail and the bust area was definitely eye catching if you want a bit of exposure. I did not get the chance to show off my figure in this dress because it lacked room and space in areas I needed it most. Hands down, the dress is beautiful and may fit someone with a smaller bust line and tinier waist...

Beautiful dress, many compliments, hung nicely on athletic body.
Dress was great. Received many compliments. Went without undergarments as bra would be visible and was definitely not needed as material stayed in place without bra better than with. I added a small pin to lessen the plunge though as I wore this to a black tie affair. I am athletic build with curves and muscles and this dress hang beautifully accentuating the areas it needed to and not clingy at all. Love this dress and recommend it!

Gorgeous dress. Simple yet stunning for a black-tie affair.
The slit is sky-high, so mind how you sit and get into and out of cars. I did not have an issue with the plunging neckline as I was in Vegas, but in my native Minneapolis I would have taped it at a more demure level.

I loved the dress! It is very flattering on. But it has a very low neckline & is very long! It is made for a tall model.

I LOVED this gown. Felt immaculate and it fit like a glove. Incredibly comfortable to wear. If you're busty like me you can wear a deep plunge bra with it and create quite a sensation whilst still feeling secure and strapped in! I usually wear a size 10 but I took a risk with this as it only goes up to an 8 and it was a perfect fit. Clings in all the right places and covers all the wobbly bits. Loved it - wish I owned it!

This dress was beautiful on! It is very low cut so if you have a large chest it is more revealing. I am 5"2 and the regular length fit me with 4" heel

Beautiful , sexy dress.
I'm between 5'6" and 5'7" and the length of this dress was perfect. The cut, color, and style is very flattering, I would imagine on any body type. The slit is very very high however. It opened up almost to the top of my thigh; and the neck-line also drops quite low so it can be a little revealing for those of us who are extra busty.

This dress was quite revealing in the bust. I needed fabric/body tape to keep the v-neck in place without exposing my bra. The dress was very comfortable. I'm 5'7" and ordered the Long size, but would not in the future. The Regular length would have worked perfectly with up to 4" heels. I had to tape up the hem on the Long by 4-5 inches otherwise I was tripping over it while walking/dancing. It would have been annoying to constantly hold up the dress every time I took a step.

Nice dress, not a show-stopper
This dress was a nice fabric and overall decent long black gown, but I was mostly underwhelmed by it. The shoulder area looked cool in the pic, but in reality added breadth to my already-broad shoulders. The bust line is VERY low and without my size 36C's, it was hard to keep them in check. I felt like I was constantly checking on "things" in the bathroom all night. This dress would be good for someone with a small frame and chest size.
