Perfect for black tie event!
This dress was absolutely beautiful and I received compliments all night. It is a new dress to RTR, and didn't have any reviews when I ordered it, so I was unsure how it would look. I rented a size 4 and 6 and ended up going eith the 6. There wasn't much difference between the two sizes; however, with the low cut, the 6 fit better through the top. Overall great dress!!!

Beautiful, high quality dress!
The only con to this dress is that the straps were a bit too long so I had to safety pin them, otherwise it was too revealing. Definitely revealing either way though! I wore this to a great gatsby party I hosted and it was perfect for the theme!

I wish I could've worn the size 10, but I couldn't comfortably zip around my rib cage. Dress tape and pasties were my best friend. Lots of compliments on this dress.

Very daring, but not tacky.
The reviews did discuss the low cut, and as you can see, they weren't kidding. That being said, it wasn't a sleazy type of low-cut, and confidence was easily installed with some "wardrobe tape"! Many, many compliments...from other ladies at the event which is always more rewarding : )

This ML Monique Lhuillier was perfect!
I'm 5'8", 133 lbs, 34D-27-36 This dress fit perfect. I wore a 2" heel and the length was spot on. Yes, it was a lot of cleavage for even my taste but I'm an entertainment journalist and wore this to an awards show and I got so many compliments. The only wish I had for this dress was pockets - but you can't win every time.

BEAUTIFUL!
This dress is fabulous. It looks better in person. Pictures do absolutely no justice. Due to modesty I needed to wear a shell underneath. This dress fit perfectly but because of my small chest and narrow shoulders strap kept falling off the sides.

I loved this dress. I didn't end up wearing it because it was a little too low cut for me. But, it was very flattering. It hugged me in all the right places and hid my stomach.

Beautiful wedding event
I wore this for a black-tie wedding event and it was perfect. It arrived 2 days prior to event and I normally wear 14 pants and XL top - I wore the 16R for the event. The prior reviews gave me warning of the low cut and cleavage - I wore a black lace bra-lette under the top and it worked perfect. I received so many compliments and it was comfortable. I would definitely use this one again!

The back up dress was a winner!
This dress was sent to me because the original dress I chose was not returned on time. I don't know who chose this for me, but they nailed it! I absolutely loved this dress and am so sad to return it! I did have to buy a bra because the bodice was cut way too low for my modesty level, but it looked like it could have been part of the dress so I was very pleased!

Love this dress! Fit my shape so nicely. Comfortable to move in. The only downside was that the top was slightly loose. By the end of the night I wasn't totally confident it would keep my girls in place. Got a lot of compliments!

LOVED this dress!!!
It's beautiful, well made, and extremely comfortable. My friend helped me tack the shoulders though because it's extremely low cut. And you need a special deep front bra to wear with it. I'm 5'6/36-C and it was a bit long but if you were heels then it's perfect. I'm more of a pear shaped and hold weight mostly in my hips, but the layers in the design were perfect. I received many compliments on this one.

Perfect dress for the occasion. As elegant and beautiful as I had hoped it would be.
I loved this dress, it fit so well and was really beautiful. It is very low cut, but the top fit snug enough to not need a bra for support. I am a full C cup and used wardrobe tape to secure and prevent slippage. The length was perfect with my 3.5 inch heels. I received so many compliments, I would definitely rent this dress again. Highly recommend.

A Sexy, Classy Dress That Was Made for Pears
If you have a lot on the bottom and not much on top, this dress is made for you! I rented this dress for a European cruise I took with my mother, and I wore it on one of our formal nights. It's incredibly low cut, so either practice balancing a book on your head, or invest in some fashion tape. I forgot to buy some, so I sat up very straight at dinner. I found it to be a little bigger on top, but I have almost no chest, so I can see bigger chested gals feeling a little exposed. If you're small on top, though, it's sexy and highlights your back, shoulders, and décolletage. It's more fitted with less give, but the black bands definitely have a little more stretch. Hugged the booty perfectly, and the regular length was perfect with 4 inch heels. The ruffles also some interest and movement to it - I had fun wearing it and got a lot of compliments!

RTR Stylist Review
Love the style of this dress! However, it runs a bit small. Perfect fun gown, but be prepared to show some cleavage! At a 38DD there was definitely a lot of cleavage, with the right tape or bra can be comfortable. The length of the gown was not a problem especially with a 3 inch heel.

Stylist Review
This gown is beautiful. It is great for any cup size, however, be prepared to show cleavage. This gown is very fitted at the natural waist and curvier women should size up for the back up size to make room for the hips. With the low cut in the front and back, I did not wear a bra with this dress. The fabric also has no stretch to it.

17 weeks pregnant. Elegant beautiful dress!
I wore this dress to a fall wedding. I was 17 weeks pregnant (with my second so I showed sooner and more than with my first) and usually wear size 2 in dresses. I'm 5'5". It was a beautiful dress and I loved how I felt in it. I did have to pin the straps because they were way too long. I wore a backless strapless bra but you didn't have to wear a bra if you didn't want to (I wear a 34 b/c usually) the length of the dress was perfect for my height. I wore a 2" heel.

Flattering style- but did not wear
I rented this for a school Gala. I did not wear because it showed a bit too much on top. I did put a strapless bra on to help with this issue as shown-but ultimately liked my back up dress better for the occasion. This is shown in the 14 long which was a perfect length for me. I may rent it again for another occasion!

This was not the original dress I ordered due to an issue within my order. This was the one sent to me instead and I loved it. It was very flattering and I got so many compliments! However, if you are a little smaller in the bust, like me, then it is a little big in the top. Otherwise I would totally recommend!

Festive for Masquerade
The black lace and ruffles were perfect for a masquerade event. Loved the shape of this dress - I'm 5'2" and it made me feel tall and glamorous. I thought the length might be a problem - as it usually is in a regular size (petite was not available), but I wore 3" heels and didn't have a problem tripping over the hem. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because while the 6 was a perfect fit in the waist, the chest and shoulders were way too loose. I'm a 34B and the deep V neck was too baggy. I managed to temporarily take it up in the shoulders from the inside with some thread. This made all the difference to remove the gaping in the chest. Dress was a hit. I removed the thread of course before returning.

This is one of the most beautiful gowns I've ever worn. The top is wide, and required some tape to hold things up and in, but it was well worth the effort. I was able to dance in the dress, and got compliments all night long. Highly recommend this for a formal affair.

Black Tie Affair - Fundraiser
The dress was STUNNING - so pretty! Received many compliments. There is ZERO stretch to this thing, FYI. I am typically an 8-10. 5'7, 155 lbs, 36B. The top of the dress plunges DEEPLY so you'll need a plunge bra if you plan to wear one. Note: the bust of the dress (both size 8 and 10 - backup) were VERY loose. I had to add stick-on cup pads to make it work. If you have a small bust (anything smaller than a C cup, for example) this thing is going to be giving everyone a show and you'll be tugging on the straps all night to keep them on your shoulders. Otherwise, GORGEOUS gown!

This was my backup for a black tie event. I didn't wear it, but want to rent it again to wear it. Very low cut. I am busty, and a lot of but shows. I was a little worried about popping out so I chose the safer dress for this event...but next one, I'm getting this. I'll have lots of double sided tape! Very flattering dress. Looks so much better on than in the pictures.

Beautiful dress that is flattering and stylish but still classic.
This dress was slim fitting but not clingy. It emphasized my cleavage and required a bit of help from some duct tape for the girls-sexy but not risqué. I also liked that the style was flattering to my hips and didn't make me look wide there.

The dress is gorgeous. Length was good. But the top was SOOO low cut. I tried to find a way to wear it, but it was too much for the formal gala I was going to attend. Wish that it had a wee bit more coverage... Oh well. It looks great otherwise!!
