A little long even with heels since I am short. Used hemming tape (medical tape also works) to hem the bottoms 2 inches. Very flattering fit, adjustable straps make it fit anyone! 

I had this dress for a formal gala at a conference. I’m muscular built 36C 27 waist 5,5 and got the size 6 It’s a bit long but with 4” heels you will be walking like you are in the red carpet. Recommended!

I simply selected this dress for the Venice film festival because it looked long and formal enough, and the fabric seemed like it would keep well in a suitcase. This dress was beyond my wildest dreams not only was it perfect for the occasion but it photographed amazingly I can’t tell you how many compliments I received. The fabric felt heavy, but light at the same time it flowed in the breeze, but it fell in a way that was so flattering. Obsessed. 

Pro: adjustable straps, generous in the mid portion (are a big meal, could wear if pregnant)

Negs: long (wore flats, probably needed 2-3” heels to not drag on the floor), straps might dig if wearing a long time 

It was very comfortable. Very long. I’m 5’8” and wore heels and it still brushed the floor. Stretchy enough through the rib cage and chest to fit snuggly even on larger busts. 

I am a size 2 and this fit perfectly. I work 3-4 inch heels and the length just hit the floor. I’m 5’6. I got so many compliments at this formal wedding. It was a very comfortable knit fabric 

I am barely 5 feet tall and I wore 4 inch platforms that were flat on the bottom so I got height and kept the comfort.  I hemmed the dress with clothing tape (per other's recs on these reviews) and it worked perfectly. I hemmed it so my toes would peek out when I walk but consider maybe another inch higher so you don't have others step on it when you lean over a bit. It is LOTS of material so order 2 packs of clothing tape in advance. I hemmed it about 5 inches.  Super easy but it took an hour at least.  I wore a strapless bra (I have small breasts) which worked easily and tied the dress tight around my neck.  It got loose so I advise tying it in a double knot. The back of the dress is stretchy so go for the smaller size if you are btwn 2 sizes (i wear a size 2/4 for an A-line dress but a 6 for pants). Tummy and thighs do NOT matter for this dress!  Eat whatever you want:)  The limiting factor is your rib cage, THAT IS IT! (My rib cage measures 30 inches under my breasts).  I wore a wrist cuff and hanging earrings. I fit in perfectly at this black tie wedding. My husband loved it. 

Feels like a million bucks, just a little long on me even in heels but I'm only 5'3"

It’s so so comfortable because the back is elastic and it doesn’t wrinkle at all. Also it was long enough for me at 5’10 to wear heels which was amazing. Felt very confident all night and received lots of compliments. 

I got so many compliments on this dress I couldn't even keep count. The pictures, however pretty, still don't do it justice. Gorgeous flowing material. Snatched waist while still stretchy in the back that left room for the wedding buffet. Secure top that held me in all night with no bra needed. All the jumping and dancing all night and never once worried. 

Only con was the length. This is a full-fledged Amazon Goddess dress. I'm 5'7 and still had to wear my 6" stripper heels to have it not brush the floor with every step. I changed to my backup 3" wedges later and had to lift the dress whenever walking but IDFC this dress was worth it. And the way it moves and the bottoms when you lift and twirl. GORGEOUS!! ❤️❤️❤️ I wish I owned it but at least I have a ton of pictures to remember it by 🥰

This was a back up to a dress that wasn’t able to ship. Even though it was a bit long I was able to wear flats (way more comfortable!) Super flattering and comfortable. The only thing that would have made it more perfect would have been pockets. 

I’m 6’ 152lbs and it was stretchy, comfortable and flattering. It is long! It actually went to just off the floor with 2 inch heels. I’m a size 8 normally for dresses… sometimes a 10 for length and the 8 was a perfect fit! It went two 2 back to back events with different crowds and it was great for a black gala and then a “fun and festive” cocktail night. (Please excuse the chicken purse in the picture. It was the best full pic I had of the dress and a mandatory accessory.) Also a pic of the back, so that you can see the back of the dress in action. Got tons of complements. It was so comfortable and fun to wear! 

This was my first RTR order and I will be coming back. Made me feel like a princess all night. The fabric is really beautiful and shimmery in person and the material is quite comfortable.

This dress was very comfortable to wear but still flattering. It does run long but it worked great with flats or heels. Got a ton of compliments 

This dress is gorgeous and I felt amazing in it. It was perfect for a fancy wedding. It will definitely only be the perfect length for someone who’s over 5’8 (with heels!) I am 5’3 wore 4 inch heels and used an entire spool of fashion tape to hem it another 3 inches. But It was so worth it! 

Please make this in petite! 

Beautiful gown with just a hint of gold shimmer. The fabric is really unique and structured well. Definitely requires heels as it was very long.

I wore this dress for an awards night for my work, I had compliments all night! Amazing dress I felt like a million dollars! I wore size 4 since it was the only one available, had to adjust the length with tape. My choice would have been size 2. I can't wait to wear this dress again! Rent it! 

Wore this to a movie premiere at the venice film festival. was a great comfy yet fancy dress. 

I sized up after seeing this ran a little small and it was a perfect fit. Great for a larger chest and the cut of the dress made it not only comfortable, but very flattering. The fabric looks and feels luxurious without being too ostentatious so it could be dressed up or down depending on your event. I'm very tall and had to wear flats with this as heels would have made it a little too short on me, but no complaints. 

Wore this for a photoshoot. Wish I could have rented the 4 but with tying the top tighter I was able to make it worked. Looked beautiful in the sun and super long for the tall girls! 

Beautiful dress I felt so stylish. It's very long so wear high heels 

This dress is immaculate and I would've loved to wear it, but I risked it on a non petite size and it was too long even in high heels. Size 6 regular did not work for a 5'3" frame! Other than length the dress is gorgeous and comfortable, flattering even after a big dinner. 

Loved this dress. It was really comfortable. The top was a little small if you have larger than a C cup. Other than that I felt confident in it all night long. 

This dress fit like a glove and gave just the right amount of sparkle. The top is a bit adjustable with the ties, which was convenient for me. Recommend wearing this to a fun, shimmery event! 

Fits TTS or slightly large. Is definitely long (I am 5'6" and with 3 inch heels was almost hitting floor). Beautiful fabric and silhouette 

Big fan of this dress. Fits true to size with extra room to bloat. Perfect length on me. My only qualm is the tie behind the neck was painful but the longer I wore it, I didn't notice it at all after an hour. Had to tape because bras showed

Felt red carpet ready in this. So many compliments and so comfortable. I'm 5'6 and wore 4 inch heels and it was still ever so slightly long but manageable. Will rent again!

So many compliments & such a comfortable gown as well!!!! 

Fits true to size. Very comfortable and a beautiful metallic made this perfect for a more formal event. 

It fit perfect besides the length! I used fashion tape and it did the trick. 

Dress fit well. Chest might be a little large for some but was a great fit with my strapless. Dress was a little long but I managed okay with platforms. Material is a tiny bit itchy but was fine for me to wear through the night. Fit and material looked great for a wedding!

This was a super fun date night dress--wore it to the Santa Fe opera, outdoors. TONS OF COMPLIMENTS FROM TOTAL STRANGERS. Hubby loved it too. I'm a 36A chest so for me no bra no problem. Use nipples. Runs a tad long--I wore with great western mules but a taller heel might be needed if you're shorter. 

Absolutely gorgeous. (I got statuesque and stunning call outs). And LONG! I'm 6' and wore 3' heels and still had to hold it up to go up stairs. Not a complaint, because that never happens. But be aware.  

Wore for a sorority formal! It was a bit heavy but definitely manageable 

Loved this dress for a rehearsal dinner. Wore a strapless bra because otherwise you’ve got to tie the strap at your neck too tight. Overall a win…tons of compliments. 

Beautiful dress for a formal holiday party! Fit nicely without a bra. Was a little long, even with 3.5 inch heels. 

I’m usually a 4 and grabbed a 2 because it was the only size available - perfect fit! Also, the tie neck can be quite heavy and uncomfortable at first

This was a gorgeous dress, loved the material and fit great on my body. However had 2 issues - 1) It’s super long and all night people were stepping on the dress. If you are tall it will be perfect, if you are my height, you need really tall heels! 2) I had to keep adjusting the the at the neck because it kept loosening. Overall lovely dress but not perfect. 

The length was so perfect for a tall girl like myself! The material is very heavy so it makes the neck tie kind of uncomfortable at times but you get used to it! Totally loved this dress!

I was stepping on it a bit with heels. But it was fun to wear and I got compliments all night. 

This was a really pretty dress. Has silver and gold threads running through so it’s very fun. Very well made and flattering. Got lots of compliments! It was a bit long, I’m 5’2”, wore 4 inch heels, and could have used another inch. I do think it would have fit better if my chest were a bit smaller, but I probably could have tied the halter top to be more supportive. 

Loved this gown. Wore it 2 months postpartum and I felt beautiful. 

Comfortable and beautiful dress - got so many compliments. I didn’t find the dress tie to be uncomfortable as other did. Very comfortable and forgiving. But beware it is long. Even in my tallest shoes it dragged a little. 

I could’ve sized down a little but the material is very nice for a formal event! 

A little big (ALC usually runs small on me), would be great for maternity or PP.  Flattering and comfy with adjustable halter

If I could post a video of the way this dress flowed and shimmered, I would.  It's so nice, I felt great in it, fits true to size, but probably is tough for a very large chest.  

Comfortable, adjustable straps and flattering fit

Both the size 8 and 10 worked. The 10 just felt a bit more comfy. Wore this for a Studio 54 inspired party and really looked the part. Loads of compliments and best of all, I wore it without a bra and felt confident. Danced all night with this dress. Felt transported to Studio 54 days in NYC. Will rent again 

Wore my usual size and loved how it fit, could’ve sized down for a tighter fit in the bust. The fabric was beautiful and looked stunning when light shined on it. 

The fit was great, super comfortable, and I loved the metallic shimmer, which gave it a really elegant touch. I got a lot of compliments throughout the night. The only downside was the length; there was a lot of material, and even with heels, it was a bit too long. I had to bunch it up to walk or dance comfortably. Other than that, it was a hit and I’d definitely rent this style again!

Beautiful gown with LOTS of length! Very flattering for the girls but if you are large chested you might have a hard time with coverage 

Fit me perfectly and great for a black tie or formal event! I loved wearing this.

I needed a bit more support up top but let a friend wear!!! 
Beautiful dress, flowy, shimmery and fun

I'm a tall girl and the length was perfect with about a 3" heel. For a larger chested lady, it may not be the dress unless you're ok with a lot of cleavage! Received a ton of compliments! Great dress.

I received so many compliments on this dress and it fits perfectly. It was very long so I’d keep that in mind when ordering you’ll need to wear some kind of heel!

Fit perfect! Wore for a work event. Shimmery and fun without being too crazy. 10/10!

The dress was perfect for a fundraising gala! It made my waist look small and my boobs look big! It’s a little long even with 3 inch heels so if you are shorter than 5 foot six and are wearing heels shorter than that I would recommend going for the short version of this dress. My only tiny complaint is that the thick cord that ties behind your neck is a little bit scratchy and thick.  It stuck out through my hair when tied in a bow. I had to tie it just the right length as to not show my bra and also not be too uncomfortable behind my neck.  I received tons of compliments!

Perfect fit with lots of compliments.  The halter didn't budge all evening.  It was on the long side so I wore higher heels and it was worked great.

Wore this to my daughter’s school gala and it was a great choice. Fabric is lightweight but substantial and had sparkle. Flattering at the neckline and so comfortable. Perfect for dancing and looked dressy but had flair and not just basic black. Only slight issue is that I’m almost 5’8” and wore 3” heels and still had to be careful not to trip on the dress going up the stairs because it is so long. 

The dress was long but with the heels i was able to manage, overall super comfortable and great fit, very flattering on my body type
