The overall fit was true to size I felt, though for busty girls there is not a ton of wiggle room in the chest. I had never been to a formal event before and this dress made me feel truly beautiful for the first time ever! The pockets were a huge plus as I didn't need to bring a clutch and i was comfortable all night. The only draw back of this is the length, I am very short (5'0") and with 4" heels it was still brushing the floor so any shorter gals will need some hem tape or some serious heels! For my first time renting with RTR, I'm extremely happy and will rent again for sure when wedding season rolls around!

I honestly wanted to buy this dress! It was so comfortable and I got so many compliments. I would wear this dress all the time :)

I wish I had the option to purchase this dress. I usually wear a 16 but after reading the reviews I ordered a 14w and 16w, and long behold the 14w fit PERFECT! With the right accessories this dress was definitely a show stopper. The best part is that it has POCKETS!!!! Nothing better than having a dress with pockets, am I right ladies?! 

Dress fit great. It was a little small in the boob area.  However, it fit so sung, I could go without a bra and I still looked great.  It was a little long in the back but I liked it. It was like having a train.

This is probably one of my favorite RTR dress I've ever worn. The black satin and neckline was classic, but the hi-low hemline made it modern. It fit like a glove, the skirt had just enough volume, and it was perfect for my husband's military ball. My only con: the material wrinkled very easily. It wasn't super noticeable, but I would maybe steam it before you put it on. Overall, it was gorgeous! 

This dress was perfect and comfy for a black tie wedding. It has pockets! The length was okay with heels and the fabric was very flowy. I will say it came wrinkled and was very hard to steam but once I got it unwrinkled it did not re-wrinkle.

I must admit, this dress did not wow me. It was black. Black feels formalish... I figured it would be okay. Once I put it on....I was in love! The major draw was that it had pockets.  Once I got over that, it looked amazing on. I'm very tall so it's hard to find floor length gowns. High low seemed like a no brainer.  Initially I thought I would need belts or brooches to add a bling factor. Not the case. The dress was just beautiful. I'm very busty so it was a tight fit. Not uncomfortable.  Just tight. The pin tuck pleating gave the illusion of a tighter cinched waist.  The draping was perfect.  I'm 6'1 and wore 5 inch heels. I ordered the 16L. I liked the length. If you're shorter or wear a shorter heel it will give you more of a train feeling.  This would be the perfect LBD. 

This dress was everything I hoped! Comfortable! Flattering! I was so excited to put it on. I got so many compliments! I picked an 18 and a 20 because I am so neurotic about sizes but I wore the 18 and could have probably done alright in a 16 :-)

Fit was good. It was a little long for me in the back. I kept stepping on it while I was dancing. 

This dress fit perfectly! I wear a 40dd and the dress fit just fine everywhere, although I would say the tightest part was the bust, but not ridiculously tight. This dress made me feel like a princess and was so awesome because it has pockets!! It allowed me to carry my phone and car keys without needing a handbag. I would rent this dress again in a heartbeat! 

I had no worries wants the dress came in. All the accessories looked fabulous. The quality of the dress was fabulous it was so easy to return made it very nice.

IT HAS POCKETS!!! It was like christmas discovering those. Fit was wonderful!  If I could have I would have gone for a 18L (if they had non-wide sizes).  I wanted it a bit more snug but not 16 snug.  I got a LOT of compliments on the dress. It flowed and I felt gorgeous in it!

The fit of the dress was spot on. I am on the tall side at 6'1 and the hi-lo part really helped with not having to have an all around LONG dress. The back was plenty long and the sizing was good. I did feel a bit loose in the chest but the fit of it made up for that. 

This was my first rental and my backup dress (which I didn't pick out or even want). When I got it I thought it was boring compared to the dress that I originally picked for the event. I have to say it turned out better than expected and once I added a belt, it worked great!! 

I rented this dress for a banquet, and it was perfect! I was comfortable sitting and the hi low effect was just enough to show off my shoes. The dress has slight details that you forget it's a simple black dress. I got so many compliments and it was easy to accessorize. 

I wore it on Valentine's with a thin red belt, red shoes, and a tiny red bag.  It was just perfect!  I normally wear a 22 but was able to get into the 20 and even that had plenty of room to spare.

This dress runs large so size down. Also if you are on the shorter side the hi-lo effect will not be as obvious. 

I originally picked a dress but the size (12) and the backup size(14)  was too small.  I called RTR and they were awesome in helping me find this dress online and overnighted!  Since the other dresses were small we went with a 14W in this dress and I could have probably even worn a 12 and for sure   a regular 14.  But all dresses fit differently.  Even though it was big - it was very comfortable - the whole evening!  I pinned in the sides to help make a waist and it was perfect.  An additional bonus that it has pockets!  Also the bag it's shipped in is awesome you can pack your shoes and accessories and travel easily.  I wore 3" heels and paired it with a pink wrap.  I was complimented the whole evening!  I will be renting from RTR again!  

I usually wear a 16 but decided to order up a size since I had never ordered from RTR before. I was glad to have it be a little more roomier. I was afraid it was going to be too small. Got numerous compliments on this dress all night. Loved it and felt like a princess. Most importantly it was comfortable. I didn't even wear Spanks which I normally wear under dresses to formal events. Complete comfort. 

Loved this dress!  The bust was a bit snug on me (44c), but the back up size was too large. I felt wonderful all night in it, and had so many compliments. My only complaint was that it arrived extremely wrinkled. The skirt was too long for the plastic bag, so wasn't in the "wrinkle-proof bag"  I ended up having the dress steamed professionally. One other thing... I got a notification from my RTR app that said to make sure my dress was at UPS by 12 noon EST.  well, that's 7am in Hawaii where I am. Not possible, UPS doesn't open until 9am. Overall a great experience.  Thank you RTR!

Loved this dress. It runs big, but my stylist, Mariah at the Flat Iron(NYC) location added a beaded belt to fit the dress for me. Loved it. Had a great experience and will definitely do this again for my next occasion! 

It was the perfect little black dress for a larger woman. It fit my curves and covered the things I wanted to hide. I felt like a queen.
