Dress fit well and was very comfortable. It was really long. I would probably get the petite next time. Dress was sexy yet I felt covered and wasn’t pulling at the dress all night. 

Dress fit great and was very comfortable! However, there is no stretch to the band around the waist so per reviews I decided to size up 

I wear this dress for my husband's law firm's 50th anniversary party, I loved it so much I almost kept it, everyone commented on it! 

Top was a little more plunging than i thought; wore a nude cami

This dress was a hit! Super comfortable and a great mix of sassy and classy! I'm 5'9 and this dress was a great length. Loved it! 

I am 20 weeks pregnant and the dress was super comfortable. Lots of room for the belly and to move around. The sheer nude behind the lace detail on the bust made it so there was no worries of anything being seen that shouldn't be. The 6L was perfect with about 2 1/2 inch heels. I'd recommend this dress for anyone looking for understated elegance. 

This dress is unbelievably comfortable! Could not wear a bra due to the cut, but had no issues. Flattering fit, would recommend the long size if you plan to wear heels. 

Beautiful dress!!! Perfect for the Mardi Gras ball I went to. Fit great. And very comfortable. 

Great fit, very complimenting. Just sexy enough to have a little sass but not feel super exposed. Beautiful dress. I would totally rent this again! 

Felt very glamorous, yet very comfortable. 

Wore this dress to law prom in October, it was heavy enough that with a scarf I was warm but also a really fun dress to dance and party in! The mesh is modest but also fun if you're okay with showing off some cleavage. Loved this dress!

I am usually an 8, but hover between an 8 and 10 in designer items, the 8 was JUST too small, and the 10 was a great fit although maybe a touch loose in the back. I got the 10L as a backup because the regular wasn't in stock, and I am glad I did! I am 5'4" but with only 2.5 inch heels the long definitely dragging a bit but I think with the regular length my toes would have been sticking out! At first glance this dress may appear to be not sexy enough since it is pretty covered up, but the deep V with mesh and open back as well as the slit added the perfect amount of va-va-voom. Since the front is mesh it was sexy without feeling like I was in danger of spilling out, and the detail around the waist is my absolute favorite. I am obviously a pretty curvy girl but I felt so amazing in this. I did wear spanx but I didn't feel like my hips were too all over the place like I usually do. I wore this to the golden globes and it was perfection. Highly recommend this for any formal event!

Loved this dress and wish I could keep it! It’s very flattering and comfortable. I didn’t wear a bra with it and, as long as I kept an eye on things, was happy with that (it has a low open back). Got lots of compliments.

Needed a very low back bra.  Also lace is completely see through so you have to be comfortable with cleavage showing up close.  

This dress was extremely comfortable, but dressy enough for my formal holiday party. The material was soft and flowed around me, making it very easy to move around in this dress. The slit up the side was an added touch to allow for more movement. With the open back and lace front, you can't wear a bra with this dress, but it provided enough lining and was tight enough up top that this was not an issue for me. I'm average height, and the length of the regular was perfect to wear with heels. If you are a taller woman, I'd recommend going with the long if you want to wear heels. 

My only complaint was the zipper was not super cooperative over the band portion on the back of the dress. That being said, it's entirely possible it was only an issue w the specific dress I received, and not with the dress in general. 

Even the groom was sick of the bride saying how pretty she thought my dress was, lol. It is soft, easy to move in, and sexy but still modest. 

This dress was comfortable. I'm not a small girl so wearing something tight fitting can be a challenge as was the case with the other two designs I received (one chosen by me and when they didn't have my backup size available, they chose another style for me). This dress gave me some breathing room while accentuating my waste by making it look smaller. The only complaint is that I nearly had a heart attack when it was delayed and showed up on the day of my event. The dress also had some issues in the pleating around the breast area but not a huge deal. Overall I'm happy with my experience.

I rented this dress for a black tie fundraiser and I wish I could wear it every day. I rented my usual size and then one larger but wore my expected size. The zipper was very difficult to get up the last inch, over the folded fabric of the waistband. It took two of us and once it was zipped it was quite snug around my rib cage but I was comfortable all night. 

I'm small busted and the built in cups were very comfortable and I felt no need for any other bra. The high neck and long skirt felt sophisticated but the slit (mid thigh height on me) was the perfect amount of skin. You must rent this!

I normally don't take the time to write reviews but I absolutely loved this dress and received so many compliments I almost bought it. It was comfortable and I hate showing my arms but this dress was totally worth it. I did rent a 16 and 18 and the 16 wouldn't even zip but the 18 fit perfect and wasn't at all tight

Fits true to size,  I’m 5’8” and 160. I did not need to wear a bra but I’m a 34C. 

This dress was so comfortable and a great fit! I am 8 months pregnant so I wanted something comfortable and this dress was perfect! The length was good on me at 5'7" with about a 3 in heel. I am also a triple D and didn't have any issues in the bust. I would normally wear a 10, but sized up since I'm pregnant and it worked perfectly. I got tons of compliments on the dress. Would definitely rent again!

Kept me warm during Minnesota Fall.
I didn’t have to wear a bra and still looked classy.
Not fat pockets showed in back.
I recommend wearing with a belt.


I am 5'2" and this dress was the perfect length when paired with 3" heels and even worked well when I wore sandals. The only issue was the zipper was very stiff YET I spoke with RTR customer service and spoke to someone who suggested rubbing a candle on the teeth of the zipper which worked perfectly. I received compliments all night on how beautiful and well fitting my dress was. 

I got tons of compliments on this dress! It was gorgeous and comfortable.  I'm only 5'3" but the length was manageable with heels.  The back is very low cut so either no bra or you you have to get creative with a backless one. Loved the tapered waste and flowiness at the bottom, hid my post-baby belly while still being flattering. 

I'm usually a size 10 or 12 but based on the reviews I ordered the 12 and 14, I'm glad I went with up because the dress runs a bit small on the waist. Size 12 fitted well but the 14 was more loose in the waist and around my arms and felt more comfortable so I went with that one instead.


I wore a size 20 (I'm on the right). I'm 5'7" and weigh 240 lbs. My best friend wore a size 10 (she's on the left). She is also 5'7" and weighs 169 lbs. The dress fit us both beautifully! We didn't want to return them! 

The dress ran a little big but thats better than small. The cups sewn into the bust worked perfectly, and it was comfortable enough to dance the night away in!

I wore this dress to a gala. Im almost 5'6" and wore flats and the bottom of the dress was right at the floor. If you are shorter i totally recommend wearing heels. The fabric was soft and flowy. Wore it all night and didnt get hot once.  My only complaint was the zipper was very difficult to get up. My husband had to do it for me and it was DEFINETELY a team effort. 

Loved the dress and the style.  It fit really well, ture to size and very Comfortable to wear for hours. 

The fit was a little loose for smaller bust but the dress was so comfortable yet sexy and classy

Overall, I loved this dress. It was flowy, comfy, yet subtly sexy. Like others have said, the zipper can be near impossible to zip. I ended up having to put on and take off the dress without undoing the zipper. I would say this dress also runs small due to the band at the waistline having no give at all. I've lost some weight and have been typically fitting in 16-18 but I ended up wearing the 20 for my event. Also, I am about 5'9" and the long length was good. Would have been better if I had planned on wearing a heel. 

This dress is sexy but not to over the top for our adult prom! I am really tall for the 12L just hit the floor. I probably could have worn the 10L but it was a little short for my liking. I like this dress so much I wore the black one a few years ago for a similar event. I love the lace on top that shows just enough cleavage without being too much. There was a little run in the fabric at the chest which was annoying. 

This was a replacement dress and ended up being the best fit! The only complaint was that the zipper didn't zip all the way up! 

Dress was really comfortable but it was still long on me (I’m 5’4 and I had heels on). Nearly impossible to walk around without heels and I had to hold the dress a bit while dancing. If your short plan on wearing heels all night. The size was true to my body/figure and was very flattering! Built in brad cups so no need for a bra which was the best part! The notes everyone mentions about the zipper was true. We almost couldn’t get the dress unzipped at the end of the night- beware the zipper-( it’s the fabric ribbon the zipper had trouble moving past). Overall I liked the dress I wouldn’t rent it again but any y’all person would love it. 

Fits true to size. The zipper was difficult. Since I’m shorter, I used double sided tape to hem and it looked great!

This dress is perfect if you are an expecting momma like me. I wore this dress for a formal wedding and felt fab. The quality, fabric and color were great and the lace detail in the neck/chest area is a beautiful touch. I am 5'6 and wore 4.5 inch heels and the long was a perfect length. It touched the ground without any dragging or tripping. The chest/boob area was big on me. I would have preferred a tighter more secure fit. I was unable to wear a bra with the low back and lace front, but managed without. The back zipper is also almost IMPOSSIBLE to zip. The last inch or so is so difficult with the extra layer of fabric. My husband struggled to zip me up for nearly 10 minutes. Do not attempt on your own. Overall, the dress was pretty and I would rent again. 

The length was perfect for my 2 inch heels, I'm 5' 4" and wore a 10P. I didn't expect the back to be as low as it was the my bra was showing in the back. I ended up needing to pin it because I was determined to wear a bra. It could probably be work without one, that's the only reason for giving it a 4/5 star. Overall, so many compliments, flowy and comfortable for my growing bump! 

Beautiful dress and fit as expected. I am 5'4" and 135lbs with athletic build. I gave the dress a 4 star review because it wasn't my ideal style but was very beautiful. I ordered this dress because the mid section is loose fitting and help keep my little baby bump from popping out. I'd definitely recommend this dress for expecting moms! 

It was so comfortable and nice to not wear a bra with it. I am only 5'1 and the regular length is too long but I made it work and I wasn't tripping. I would love it again in petite length. Definitely recommend this dress.

The waist band has no give whatsoever as other renters have mentioned. However, the zipper stuck even when the dress was on the hanger and took my date and I several tries to get to zip. The color itself was not the deep blue as depicted and there is an odd (cheap looking) nude mesh below the lace at the bust. The length was too short for me to wear heels (I'm 5'8 1/2") even with going up a full size and renting the longer length. I have rented some FANTASTIC dresses from RTR but this was not one of them; guess thats the risk you take ordering sight unseen.

The fit was great!  I was worried about the length since only the long was available.  I'm 5'6 and with heels on it was perfect.  The issues I had were the cups in the chest were all bunched up so much that they were not fixable or able to unfold.  Luckily the ruching in the fabric covered up the bumps and you couldn't tell.  Also the zipper was warped so it made it difficult to zip up.  

This dress was very pretty and very flattering, but the top of the dress was off.  I don’t know if it is the way it was pressed, but when I received the dress, one of the sewn in cups was folded in half.  I was able to straighten it out, but the pleats on the top of the dress just seemed messy. Overall, I got a lot of compliments but it was definitely something I noticed. I didn’t love it as much as I loved previous rentals.

This dress was great for the occasion. Glad I was able to wear the Long because the regular length was too short with heels. The slit was a fun surprise. I wasn't able to wear any type of bra but I felt well covered. It was tight right around the midsection as there is a no give to the ribbon so by the end of the night it had ridden up a little from sitting. 

I'm 5'2" about 145.  Beautiful dress... so many comments all night. Ran true to size just a bit long.  

Rented this for a wedding. Had a baby a few months ago so needed something that had a little stretch to it. You don't need a bra because it has built in cups. I chose to wear a strapless bra, but had to pull it extra low because of the see through mesh in the front. Overall, dress fit ok. I'm 6 feet tall and it was long enough. Would rent again. 

I ended up wearing a 10 and Im usually a 10-12. Im 5'7" and have ample hips and chest. This dress was incredibly comfortable but with 3 inch heels I kept stepping on the hem which is very delicate. Glad I rented it, highly recommend for formal affairs!

I liked that I did not need to wear a bra with this dress. The fabric was flattering as well and I liked the slit in the front. The detail on the chest made it interesting while still being simple.
