Interesting dress; fit fine. Just a bit much on the silver. And I love sparkle and shine. 

Easy to wear and eye catching. I bought it. 

Fit was great! The sequence did get caught on other parts of the dress. Had to constantly carefully pull apart. Otherwise great dress. 

I bought this for semi for $38 and no one had a dress like it. It was gorgeous and I felt beautiful!

Very pretty dress. Received a lot of compliments. And it was a tad longer on me than I expected which was a plus. Would recommend 

Rented this to go as Moira Rose for Halloween. It's definitely itchy due to sequins but still chic. For a petite gal, it's a little longer than desired. (Fine for Halloween but wouldn't have worn it to an actual formal event.)

I was looking for a dress to get married in -- AND I'm a not-so-traditional bride. I wanted something fun, a little edgy/sexy, feminine, and just enough glam to take our Tuesday afternoon nuptials over the top. Taylor, the manager of RTR Chi, was my fairy godmother of fashion and brought me this dress, which I likely would have overlooked. My groom LOVED it, and I got a gazillion compliments on it. Most importantly, I felt like myself and I felt beautiful! 

This was a beautiful dress. I rented for a party but couldn't get the zipper up by myself so I wore it on a date a few nights later. I got some AMAZING photos and compliments but by the time we were done with dinner the sequins were making my skin crawl. Don't wear for more than a couple of hours to stay comfortable. 

I rented this dress for a formal party with girlfriends. The dress was all right, I definitely felt properly dressed for the occasion but I didn't feel very cute or sexy in the gown. The dress is an odd length and cinches around your bum flowing out afterwards which I found to be an odd shape on my body. The material is also quite scratchy

The dress fits like a glove and is beautiful all around. But it was very itchy where the laces touch your skin, such as the neck, arms, and back. It wasn't comfortable at all. That's why I gave it 4 stars, otherwise, it would earn 5 stars. I wish somebody would tell me before I rented it. 

Striking black & white design definitely stands out! Loved the muted shine of these sequins. My daughter is junior in high school & wore this dress to Homecoming. She's 5'6" & athletic (a dancer) & wears size small or medium, just depends. This medium was bit to big through shoulders & bust, but waist, hips & length were ok. Luckily, the fabric & style is forgiving, so it stilled looked fine! 

Pros: unique, beautiful, attention-grabbing, comfortable/good fit, perfect for the spring (long sleeves kept me from getting cold, breathable and didn't make me too warm) 
Cons: A little itchy (my skin is extremely sensitive) and the lace is very fragile and was somewhat less than perfect from someone almost poking a hole through the lace. 

Very unique dress - it was definitely a standout. Reviews are right that it is not at all stretchy, not very comfortable, and would not be good for dancing, but fine for a cocktail party/dinner. 

Only downside was sequins got caught several times 

This was actually my "back-up dress" but I'm so glad I ended up wearing it. I got SO many compliments on this dress all night long. I love how the cutouts give the dress an interesting, sexy edge but the overlay still makes it appropriate enough for a formal event. The material is a little itchy when you first put it on, but I soon got used to it. I'm very flat chested so the top was a little loose on me, but not enough for anyone but myself to notice. 

I wore this dress for a formal night during a Christmas cruise. It has stunning shimmery threading that gives off just the right about of sparkle. The dress hugs your curves and gives off a sexy vibe, without being revealing. Perfect for a black tie or formal event where you may want to keep a little to the imagination. It was a little itchy but nothing that couldn't be tolerated. I felt so glamorous! 

Dress is a little itchy but overall great fit 

Know what you are getting here: these are sequins, not lace. This dress is what I would describe as "Forever 21" size, so the Medium I wore is equivalent to a generous 4 or smallish 6. 
   I felt the dress worked best for a "dressy casual" (wore it with black opaque tights, short suede boots, and a camel teddy coat) rather than "black tie."
I could definitely see where if you wore this dress with  bare legs & hair up in a bun or other updo, it could come across as skater costume-ish. 
   That said, it was a stand-out at Christmas Eve dinner. Sequins were a little scratchy, but not a deal breaker.


This dress is fantastic. Fit perfectly. I didn't wear a bra, wore stockings and had a fabulous time. A celebrity stopped and asked if he'd seen me before. It's that dress! Go for it.

This dress was one of my favorite rentals so far!! I got lot of compliments and definitely stood out in the crowd. I did not wear a bra since the lacy back is sexy and my favorite feature of the dress. I think a simple, plain, black bra one would look fine if you need additional support.

The dress was everything I expected after reading the reviews: the fabric was kinda itchy, the dress is more sequin than lace and it was hard to raise my arms. The zipper was stiff; I wouldn't have been able to zip it up myself. The medium was probably the correct size for me but there was a little room in the "side boob" area.

I paired this amazing dress with red pumps for a little pop of color. 

Really pretty dress I rent for a company party. Definitely not the most comfortable dress with all the sequins and tight around the shoulders but it received a ton of compliments ! 

I really enjoyed how unique this dress was and I thought it hugged me in the right spots (I am an hourglass figure). It's best to not wear a bra with it; I used sticky boobs that slightly raised me up and held the girls in place. The reason I didn't rate it a 5 was because it was definitely itchy due to the fabric. You do get used to it after a bit. Also, you can't really raise your arms all that high, but we weren't dancing that evening so that really didn't matter. All in all I got a lot of compliments and really enjoyed wearing it :)

I was worried the small would be too small in the arms and chest area, but it turned out to be perfect. No bra worn (makes the back look fabulous without a bra) and felt comfortable all night. The sleeves were a little tight, but that's to be expected. I absolutely LOVED how it fit me and the length was perfect. Definitely considering renting this one again!

I wore this dress to a circus themed charity event. It was sexy and fun. I have pretty big hips for my body so it just fit there and was pretty big in my chest and the arms were loose but you really couldn't tell. It would look even better if you had a bit more of a chest to fill it out. 

This was gorgeous ! Only thing its sequence and not lace . Also a bit hard material , but so worth it!

The fit wasn't the best, it bunched around the stomach area making me look larger than I am when I sat down. The material is also not a comfortable one, it is mesh and sequins. However, it is a stunningly beautiful dress and I received so many compliments on it at the winter wedding I wore it too. The length is perfect, it made my legs look longer than normal. 

Dress fit really well, it was a little loose in the stomach area but it worked well for me. I got plenty comments on the dress that day. 

This dress was so beautiful and perfect! Looked and photographed great. Wish I could buy it!
