Stretches somewhat, fits true to size, does show tummy if you have one
Overall, I really liked this dress minus a couple things. I rented it for my Grad School graduation ceremony to wear under my cap & gown, and then for the party later. I ordered a 10 and 12, and wore the 12. Would have ordered a 12 and 14 if they had it, but this dress maxes out at 12. Luckily, the 12 is my normal dress size, and it fit perfectly. Now for the issues: I had read another review saying this dress hid someone's post-partum baby belly, and was excited because that's my problem area. Well, any belly she had must have been completely in her head because I could absolutely see my belly when I turned to the side (straight on it was perfect). It wasn't a huge issue for me, but felt others should know that while the dress does pull in under your chest, the bottom half is not loose enough to cover any belly. Additionally, the cut out on the back of the dress looks nothing like it does on the model if you're more than a Size 0 :) It was stretched out to be more of flattened, horizontal type triangle, which is fine -- just not what's shown in the picture.

Gorgeous and comfortable!
This was my back up dress, but I ended up wearing it instead of my first choice to a Saturday night wedding. Beautiful, a little sexy with the cutout, and so comfortable! Before I tried it on, I forgot about the cutout (or didn't see it in the picture); they're not normally my style, but I loved it. Even with the cutout, I could wear a regular bra and shapewear. Felt great all night, and I can't wait to rent it again.

Sexy Classy LBD
Loved the fit! The back made this dress! I was able to wear a regular bra! It was not super tight and the fabric was really comfy! I did not wear a sucker because of the back, but it didn't look bad without one! I would definitely rent this again! My chest is a 34DDD, I usually wear size 7/8 pants and medium tops.. I ordered a 10 and 12 and wore the 10!

Incredible dress!
I absolutely loved everything about this dress. Both the 4 and 6 fit well but the 4 squeezed in all the right places. I wore it to a company Christmas party and it has just enough stretch in it that it's comfortable to dance and move comfortably.

Fit was great and the cross cross detail in the back was really pretty - just the right amount of sexy. It hid all the bad stuff and accentuated the good. I would totally rent this again.

great fit and comfortable
I needed a black lace dress to wear as a bridesmaid. I am typically a size 6/8 but was 3 months post baby and nursing so I wasn't sure on sizing. RTR was very helpful in picking sizes and I loved that I got a backup size just in case. This dress fit great and was very comfortable for a warm June Wedding! The cut out in the back was a fun sexy detail!

Wore this to a funeral. It was PERFECT! Great fit!
I wore this to a funeral. It was conservative in length, but had a beautiful keyhole back. Really nice quality. Felt great on. The only problem I had was the bust area. I'm a 38DD. I couldn't wear a bra and the dress squashed by boobs a bit. I think a 12 may have worked better, Nonetheless, this dress melted my husband's heart.

Dress exceeds expectations in style AND comfort!
I am normally a size 6 in dresses but chose to wear the size 8 as I wanted as much give as possible to be able to move freely throughout the day as I was assisting the bride and to dance my heart out all night. This dress fits like a glove! It is so incredibly comfortable, and although I went up a size, it still complimented beautifully. This was my first RTR experience and I will definitely be doing it again!

Beautiful dress
I needed a replacement dress last minute and I was lucky enough to find this dress at the RTR store. Fit perfectly. The length is a bit conservative as it went down to my knees, so it was nice to have the small cutout in the back.

The ladies at the Chicago store and the ease of renting the dress and dropping it off.
The dress fit great. The only issue was that the top part was a little big since I'm smaller chested. I wore this for a wedding and loved it.

I was very impressed with the packaging of the dress!
It was comfortable and sexy. The back opens just below the bra which I loved because I could wear a normal bra! You could tell up close that it is a used dress because of the pulleys here and there but nobody seemed to see them. Received lots of compliments! Very pleased with my RTR experience. Will be ordering again!

I absolutely loved wearing this dress. It was my first RTR experience and I will definitely be renting again. Comfortable, classy with a little sexy, and beautiful. It was hard to return this dress.; I wanted to keep it! Pros: can wear a regular bra, form fitting, nice quality. Cons: none. I am 5' 5" and about 120 lbs. The size 2 was perfect!!!!

Absolutely LOVED this dress!! Perfect for any special occasion and I received tons of compliments!
Fit is true to size. I ordered a 4 just in case it ran a little big, but that felt a bit snug. The dress is extremely comfortable and forgiving! This is exactly what I was looking for when I was browsing dresses. I paired it with some tear drop diamond earrings and sling back heels; definitely do not need much to make this dress pop! It does that all by itself! I'm sold on RTRW and will definitely be back!!

Fabulously classic, comfortable, flattering dress. :)
I'm actually a 32-DD, so I wore my most slimming bra to go with this and it worked out perfectly. It fit like a glove, but was super comfortable. Got tons of compliments. Classic, simple and lovely.

Tons of compliments, couldn't be happier with my first rental
I rented this dress for a co-worker's wedding. My first time renting a dress and it won't be the last. I wore the size 10. I'm larger on top, and had no problems with the size, although it was a little snug. The lower half of the dress stretched nicely so I didn't feel constricted at all.

This dress makes you feel like a LADY
The 6 in this dress was not available so I had to go with an 8 last minute.. it stretched a little big but no complaints here, this dress was comfortable AF! The back is absolutely beautiful. The neckline was a little high for my liking, but its super classy. I wore the teardrop earrings recommended as well - didn't need too much to dress this up

Stylist Review!
The perfect black lace LBD. This style is a simple, yet unique piece with an amazing open wrapped back. Running true to size, we recommend sizing up for backup if you're curvier and down if you're smaller framed. The material has a slight stretch and you can wear any bra underneath. At 5'7" the dress hit just at my knees. Throw a blazer over it for a workday or pair it with thin strapped heels for a cocktail event.

Loved this dress for a wedding!
I ordered a different RTR dress, but the package was not delivered on time, so the RTR staff helped me select this one and sent it overnight to my hotel. I ordered this dress in both a two and four because there were no reviews yet. It is true to size, maybe even runs a little large- specifically, it was a little loose in the bust, but was OK to wear. The dress should be fitted so keep that in mind. It has a good deal of stretch to it so is perfect for dancing. I got lots of compliments on it and thought it was a good balance of a classic cut with a slightly sexy twist.

Cute and modest!
From the previous reviews, I had expected this to be the most flattering dress ever. I was cute, but I didn't feel like it did wonders for my 5 month postpartum belly, which hasn't quite flattened all the way yet! It was a classy dress, and worked well for the wedding we attended.

Great for pregnant ladies
This dress was chosen for me by RtR since the one I ordered was damaged. I am 18 weeks pregnant and was worried about the fit and cutouts but it's very stretchy and the cutout is vey modest in the back. My pre-pregnancy size is a 2 and the size 4 fit great.

Unique LBD
This was a replacement for an unavailable dress and I was very happy with the results. Comfortable fit, unusual look and cut, and classy for a wedding. It was slimming (and forgiving) with just the right amount of sexy flair to make it stand out. I am not fond of black, however the nude under layer made it neutral enough to work with my light skin. It was surprisingly loose on the top (thanks, fashion tape). A flattering replacement that will stay on my list!

Beautiful lace, fun cut-out!
Beautiful lace dress with lots of room to stretch (super comfy!). Loved the fun cutout in the back of the dress! Definitely ran small for those who are larger in the lower half like me, but the stretch helped - I was able to move and dance all night. I have broader shoulders/arm and definitely didn't feel restricted, which was a pleasant surprise. I would have liked to see more structure with the dress, as the dress does not hide any flaws (cutout is high enough to wear spanx), but overall I'm very happy with my rental!

Delicate, but nice
This is a nice LBD more on the conservative side. The back gives it a bit of an edge but the cutout, at least on me, wasn't as pronounced as it was on the model (where the dress drapes better - I think if a wider body stretches it out, the cutout becomes narrower). The biggest downside of this dress is the likelihood of snags. I got two replacements as the first two had a tear at the back cutout part. The fabric is supposed to be sewn a couple inches in from each side, so the cutout isn't as wide as the entire dress, but in the first two dresses the stitching had been torn straight to the edge. All said, I'm glad I rented it, but would not rent it again due to the high maintenance nature of the lace.

A conservative LBD
I didn't find this dress to be super flattering on me. I am short with broad shoulders, a large-ish bust, a small waist but a bit of tummy (especially around the holidays!), and thick calves. The v-neck was too high to flatter my bust, there was no camouflaging any mid-section pooch in this dress, and the length fell almost to the bottom of my knees so my legs looked super stumpy. It looked a little better with super high heels, but as I was wearing this to a Broadway show and dinner with family and we were going to be doing a bit of walking around the city, I was forced to wear with a more reasonable heel height. It was OK for the non-formal family outing I wore it for, but had I really wanted to be dressed to impress, I don't think this dress would have worked. Both the 6 and the 8 fit, I just went with the 8 for a little extra room in the middle.

Comfortable dress, but nothing special
The dress had some stretch which made it comfortable but all in all, nothing special. Just a plain dress. The opening in the back is a small attempt to set this dress apart but I don't think it does much. This wasn't my selected dress but rather a back-up of a back-up - and much like the other dresses I received, showed signs of wear with enough pulls to make it look like something I dug out of my own closet.

Beautiful dress for a formal wedding!
This dress was perfect. It was conservative enough for a formal wedding with my boyfriend's family, but had the fun and sexy back to mix it up a bit. It was form fitting, but stretchy enough for some serious dancing.

Perfect dress, with just the right amount of sexy!
I wore this dress to a wedding. The fit was excellent! I just had a baby and this dress had enough stretch to make it comfortable, the lace design helped camouflage any bulgy areas. The best part is the cut out in the back! It was just the right amount skin to make it interesting and a little sexy!

Flattering fit, beautiful lace detail
The fit was perfect, hugging in the right places, but not too tight. The length was appropriate and a classic look, but the back made it a little bit more fun and sexy. I got lots of compliments. Even a year later at the same party, someone complimented my dress from last year(this dress)! I would definitely rent this dress again!

Lots of compliments
I wore this to a holiday party at the house of my boss. I felt comfortable with the modest length of the dress and it was not too low cut. The lace was very pretty and the cutout back made it dressy and different, but you could not see your bra or underwear or even top of pantyhose, so it was fine. On Monday some female co workers said how good I looked, so that was nice. I recently lost 15 lbs and was worried that I would still need a size 8, but the only backup size was smaller, a 4. Luckily I fit nicely into the 6. It was comfortable to move in and sit in. I felt good in the dress and my hubby approved of both the front and back views!
