This dress made me feel sexy, refined and elegant.

I'm 5'4", and the dress hit right below the knee, which made the dress feel classy and appropriate for the party. I'd also say this dress ran a tad big (only a tad!). I am between 12-14, and I was worried that the 12 would be snug, but it fit just perfect. The design on the back was perfection, and I received several compliments. The mesh on the back is black, but under the light, it will practically match your skin tone. The curve of the mesh opening was just perfect to hide any "love handles" and to accentuate the center of the lower back. You have to forego underwear or shapewear. The front cleavage was a little low and open, but not enough to feel like I was flashing the girls. You also have to forego a bra. I used bra stickers.

Striking dress with a great neckline

I wore this dress for a date at a fancy restaurant, and it was a hit. The neckline was very flattering. I'm 5'2", so I had to tape up the bottom of the dress (2-3") to get it above my knees to make a flattering silhouette. It was not skin tight, but the sizing of the hip width and chest width were great for me on the 0. I would rent again.

Back is the best part!

Dress was very simple in the front and wow! In the back. Fitted throughout--had to be careful on stairs as the bottom would limit the size of my steps and would suddenly stop me when bending at knee

Classy with a twist

It fit well and true to size. The dress was a little more lowcut than I had expected. I wore a nubra under and it kept wanting to peek out. I wore this to my boyfriend's work party, so I wanted something classy but a bit edgy and this dress fit the bill.

Stylist Review!

The Black Swirl Back Dress is a great LBD option! Theia provided the perfect element of surprise with the sheer back detail. Running true to size with a side zipper, we recommend sizing up for your back up. With the open back, a NuBra is best for A - C cup sizes. The fabric has a little stretch in the hip area and hits about knee length. Pair with a great necklace and heels for the night out!

dress was comfortable and looked amazing.

This dress fit perfect... I wore it for a Christmas party and was complimented on it all night. I always feel when I wear short, tighter dresses I am always having to adjust it or pull it down when I stand but I never had to with this one... it was a great dress...

Business in the front, party in the back!

This dress makes you feel so sexy! I wore a cardigan over it at work but afterwards, it's all check this out! The dress fits like a glove and I can't say enough good things about the back!

Sexy and hides everything

I didn't want this dress but my dress order fell through and this was a backup. I was very happy with this dress that I would have never paid for by online pictures alone Pro, this looked amazing and (as a 38 C or 36 DD) I didn't need a bra or pasties. Cons, you may get hit on as it's surprisingly sexy

Perfect dress for any occasion

I loved this dress so much, front and back, but the side where the zipper is located is awful. It bunched up and made me look like I had rolls of fat where I don't. It was so disappointing because it's so beautiful everywhere else. I couldn't wear shapewear because of the back cutout, but I don't think it would have helped anyway. I wore this without a bra or stick-on cups with no problem. The size was fitted but comfortable. The material is forgiving except for the size zipper so maybe size up if you're pear or hourglass shaped to try to alleviate that problem.

Beautiful, but large

This is a beautiful dress. Very elegant, but a bit conservative. I spoke with a RTR "stylist" as I wasn't sure what size to get. I am 5 ft, 115, and a 32D. They suggested a 6 and an 8, so that is what I ordered. The 6 swam on me, so I didn't bother with the 8. I was told it ran very small. I think it runs large. The swirl is elegant and makes the back stand out. It was hard to tell if the front was overly conservative as it was just so large, I looked as if I was a child playing dress up in clothes from my grandmother's closet. I think if you get the right size, this can be a fantastic dress. Too big and it is dowdy.

Sexy back, but the front is too boring.

Didn't end up wearing this! It has a very corporate fit, so it's fine for a workday evening dress. Do not rent for a black tie or weekend evening event.
