This was the perfect dress for a Great Gatsby themed office party! Loads of compliments!
This dress was beautifully made and very comfortable. Has a nice weight to it and feels very expensive. It's a perfect dress for a pear-shaped body, the skirt is full cut without adding any volume. You can't wear a bra with it, but I wore self-adhesive bra cups and they worked perfectly.

So many compliments!
This dress fit true to size and made me feel fantastic. I wore this dress to a wedding with a"under the starry night" theme and it was a hit! Beautiful beading, very high quality. The back is sexy but classy with the triangle cutout. One thing to note is that due to the beading on the dress it is a little heavy, but I was still able to dance and feel comfortable.

Loved the fit and flare. The beading was beautiful (although made for a slightly heavy dress!). The back of the dress added some real interest, but required a special bra

I wore this to a black tie wedding and received many compliments!
The comments said that the dress ran large, so I went down a size for my backup dress. I'm glad I did--the smaller dress fit much better! The beading makes this dress heavier that average, but it's very comfortable. Flattering, too--it fit my body without clinging too much. There's some wear on the dress, but its not obvious unless you're really close.

I loved this dress. Even thought it was heavy, you didn’t notice it while it was on. Received many compliments as well! I hope that I have another event with different people so I can wear it again! I’m not a dress girl, and I just fell in love with this dress.

Wore this dress for a wedding, and absolutely loved it. While I could've gone down a size, the bigger dress fit my chest area better. While the dress was heavy on the hanger, it felt light and comfortable all night. I would definitely rent this again for another formal event!

Sparkle and Perfect Fit
This dress fit PERFECTLY! Size 2 is my typical size and this dress fit on the (slightly) larger side of true to size. It was just roomy enough to be comfortable without being baggy. The length and cut in the front made it feel very classy and conservative, but the back made it fun and unique. The material was gorgeous and luxurious looking. The dress was heavy (beading and double lining), but not uncomfortably so. It was perfect for a fall wedding in Georgia with high 60 degree weather. I would definitely recommend this dress!

Loved this dress-very comfortable
This dress was the backup to a dress I loved from the web. This dress was immediately my favorite when I pulled it out of the packaging. It was very nice and conservative looking with a pop from the beading. I wore this to a formal event and felt at home and received many compliments. It did run big, but was comfortable to sit in, didn't pull, and the zipper was easy to do by myself. I would buy this dress as it was a winner!

The theme of the event was "Hemingway Style" so I thought this was a modern take on the 1920s flapper. This dress was very easy to wear and I received lots of compliments! I could have worn my normal size 16, but there is no stretch so I'm glad that I had the 18 as a backup and I could be comfortable and confident. I loved how it was sparkly, but not too heavy with beading. 10/10. Would rent again!

Elegant and sparkly
I wore this to a graduation dinner and it was lovely and very comfortable. With the sparkles and open back, it's a nice combination of elegance and fun. I usually wear a size 4, but ended up wearing a 2 as the opening in the back was more snug in the smaller size. I wore a Nubra with it, but the dress is nicely lined for someone who prefers to go braless.

Great Beading
Lovely dress! I wore it to a wedding in New Orleans and it was perfect. The beading is heavy and forgives and body issues. Hangs great. It zips up the back. Hem is just below the knees.

This dress was stunning in person. It was heavy due to all the beading but comfortable to wear. I found it to be extremely flattering! I am actually about to rent it again. I run between a 20 and 22 depending on brand, the 22 fit me nicely with a little bit of room. The 20 was a bit too snug.

Perfect!
I rented this dress for my work holiday party, which was a masquerade ball theme, and it was perfect! It was sparkly enough to be festive for the occasion, but was still SO COMFORTABLE. I would have ordered both the 14 and 16, but the 14 wasn't available, so i wore the 16. It was a little big, but not bad enough to make the dress shapeless, plus I didn't have to wear spanx or other shapewear, which is always a win! I got so many compliments, and felt wonderful al night! Would definitely recommend!

This dress fits like a dream. The beadwork is impeccable, and the open back is so subtly sexy. It was not only gorgeous and elegant, but it was also very comfortable. Would 100% rent again. I wish this belonged to me!

Felt amazing in this dress. Wore it to a wedding and didn't need to wear spanks underneath, bonus!! I usually wear a 14 but after reading reviews I got a 12 as a backup size, and I'm glad I did. The 14 was baggy on me. I love the cut out in the back, very sexy. I look forward to another formal occasion so I can rent this dress again.

A vintage stunner!
This dress is so beautiful, and I got so many compliments on it throughout the evening--"stunning" was probably the most frequent word used! It is heavy due to all the beading, but it lays nicely and was very comfortable. I was able to dance for hours with no issues. It's so flattering, and I was able to wear it with a normal bra (since the plus sizes don't have the open back)! It didn't need Spanx, since the beaded overlay disguises any lumps and bumps, but I decided to wear some anyway for a bit smoother line. I hated to have to send this dress back after the wedding--I would have loved to keep it even though I'm not sure when I'd wear it next.

Great sparkly backless dress!
This was a great dress, although definitely better for a fall or winter event (it has 3 layers so is actually pretty warm). Dress runs big so I would size down for your backup size. I'm really short (5'1) so this dress hit couple inches below my knee but if you are taller it will be shorter. It had an odd seam across the mid section which made it feel a little tight there, but otherwise fit well. It gapped a bit in the back but I'd definitely rent this again.

This dress is all about the open back. You pretty much can't wear a bra, but the dress is tight enough to be supportive and sexy enough to throw caution to the wind. So go ahead and strut your stuff!

This dress was perfect for the occasion. I have never received so many compliments!
This dress was absolutely stunning! It fit nicely and was very comfortable to wear all night. It was a little roomy above my butt area but I still wore the bigger size due to my larger chest size. The only drawback to the dress was that the beads rubbed against my underarm but it wasn't a deal breaker by any means. I received so many compliments on this dress! I would definitely recommend it!

RTR STYLIST REVIEW
This dress was definitely a surprise. I did not expect this dress to be so comfortable! The sequins and beading were perfect and not too overpowering. The material is not itchy at all. It runs a tad bit big, as in it flows out very nicely. This can be a plus for someone who has a more weight around the midsection, it does a great job hiding problem areas. This dress It a perfect modest yet elegant choice! It does hit below the knee, I recommend wearing simple, strappy heels with this dress.

I wore this dress for a 20's themed event, and it was perfect!
I would say it fit pretty standard for the size. Warning to anyone with a larger chest, it's hard to wear any bra with this (I opted for a sticky bra, but it wasn't great), so prepare accordingly. There was a little bit of the beading missing on one shoulder which was annoying, but otherwise it was a great dress!

Great even in the third trimester!
This dress is much prettier in person than the published photos. I was not sure I would like it and it was really great! A heavy material for sure. I was about 32 weeks pregnant when I wore this. I sized up one from pre pregnancy size but honestly the smaller did fit it was just less comfortable. One complaint is that several of the beaded sections were pulling and a little ragged but I imagine it was just the wear and tear on that specific dress. The length was great for me, to the knee, especially nice with my bump. I danced and sat and moved easily!

Sparkly and fun yet not too sexy
I ordered a 0 and 2 and went with the 0. It took a bit of shimmying to get it over my hips but needed the smaller size so that the opening on the back didn't gape. I am small chested so I didn't need a bra (and the double lining is plenty thick) but I don't know how someone who needs the extra support would do it. I think they would need one of the sticky bras because the back is so low. Wore it as a chaperone to prom. Felt fun yet appropriate for a school setting. Loved how it glittered in the lights.

Fit was amazing. I was worried about my hips because they tend to be my problem area in dresses. This was not the case in this dress. It was surprising comfortable. It's heavy when you pick it up but on it was great. I got lots of compliments. I'm small waisted w bigger hips and this dress was super flattering.

Stunning Dress!
Beautiful dress! I'm glad I listened to the other reviews and ordered a size down for my backup dress, as it does run a little large. I ordered an 8 and 10, and wore the 8. The back does pucker a bit along the edges of the cutout, however body tape was an immediate fix. I got tons of compliments on the dress, and felt so beautiful and glamorous! This dress was the perfect choice. Thanks RTR!

I typically order the second dress a size larger, however after reading several reviews I took a chance and went a size down. And I'm so glad I did! My regular size 18 just made me feel a little frumpy... extra material up top and too much room in the waist. The size 16 fit perfectly! I received so many compliments on the dress and it was perfect!

Best dress ever! Will rent again!!
I needed a dress to wear to a very exclusive restaurant in Disneyland. I came across this one and after reading the reviews decided that this dress would work! It did not disappoint!! I got so many compliments and most of all I felt so good wearing it. The open back is really pretty and the beading is so beautiful. I would love to rent this one again! The only thing I'll do different next time I rent this is use a little fashion tape on the back detail, when I sat down the sides of the back detail "poofed" out a bit - but that is a super easy fix with the fashion tape.

Beautiful dress!
I got this as a replacement dress for another I'd rented for a company party by going in to the RTR store in Georgetown. I must have tried on 30 dresses before finding this. The stylist pulled it for me. I didn't expect it to fit - the dress was a size 6 and I'm generally a size 8 or 10 - but it fit perfectly. I'm a size 36C and was able to not wear a bra (just used stick on cups), the dress was structured well enough for it. I got so many compliments on this dress, I wish I could keep it!

I've never worn a beaded dress before - I felt so pretty and glamorous!!
Normally I buy a dress that is simple and classic so I can get lots of wear out of it. But RTR has freed me to choose what is pretty to me right now - so I could say yes to the dress and know that for my next event there will be something else new for me to choose. The lining of the dress was heavy and hung beautifully. It weighed more than I expected. It was very comfortable to wear (though the beading did begin to chafe the inside of my arms after a few hours). I received so many compliments from friends and strangers alike!
