Beautiful quality. The pockets do make it pouch outward at the hips a bit, but I liked that it helped to give me more hourglass look, however it may be frustrating depending on your body shape. 

I really like this dress and the pockets were a major bonus! The 0 fit me just right so I’d agree that it runs large. Sizing down was a good idea for me. I’m 5’5 and it went to my mid shin. 

Loved how this fit! The material was very substantial and I felt good in it. It was a great dancing dress too! Simple and elegant piece 

This neckline is everything and you could wear this dress anywhere. It runs large especially in the waist. Left is how it fit, right is when I pulled all the extra fabric. I might try again in a smaller size. 


So, so elegant. Have rented multiple times and just always feel like a million bucks. I’ve worn it for parties with friends, Christmas with family and two different formal events with work colleagues and each time, was so happy. 

This was one of the oddest fitting dresses I’ve seen at RTR. Was a full size+ too small. My hips looked huge and weird in it. Couldn’t get it zipped either. Hard pass on this one. 

Comfy, elegant, breathable, no bra required and loved the pockets!

Saw complaints about pockets in the reviews but loved them. Yes they mess with the profile but they are deep without being loose. I needed to have my phone with me all night so it was a lifesaver since I don’t like clutches or purses. Neckline is very flattering. It didn’t need a necklace because of that but I added one. Lots of compliments all night. The bones in the waist were great. Not too stiff but they prevented bunching. Loved it. The snug fit wasn’t uncomfortable. And I could lean over without worrying that the neckline was drooping open. 

This was perfect for a formal gala event. The shape was fun and classic and the neckline made it more interesting. I wore a strapless bra because straps would’ve been a pain with the wide neckline. Extra straps in the sleeves kept everything in place and the pockets were a nice bonus. 

Loved this dress! Classic, elegant, comfortable. The only thing I'd recommend is wearing pasties to give some shape around the chest. I also have larger arms and because the fabric doesn't give, it felt a little snug. Overall though, I was very happy with it and received a lot of compliments!

Ton of compliments. Sizing a little odd, had to size way down, have rented twice and one was much smaller than the other (same label size)

This dress is beautifully cut in a heavy soft fabric. I loved the square neckline and easy draped waist. Fortunately, I found a balconette bra that didn’t show. The pockets were a huge bonus. They are positioned on the side and deep enough to carry a phone inconspicuously so I didn’t need to worry about carrying a small handbag. I choose a size 4 and 6 and sized down. 

Didn’t love, but it worked for a work event. Like other reviews stated, it widens in the hips and definitely makes you look larger in the waist than you are. Wouldn’t rent again. Just ok. 

Adored this dress. I wore it to two memorials, it was classy and stylish and was perfect paired with pearls. Regarding fit, I should have sized down to a 0, I had 3+inches around my waist and hips. However, the larger fit kept this dress tasteful for mass and the funeral.  If you want this to be sexy for a date night, size down so it hugs your curves. Oh! And there are pockets!!! Super bonus. 

Love this dress for a work event! The pockets were great, and I thought the length & sleeves were very suitable for an evening work event.

Wore it to a work Christmas Party. Got so many compliments and it fit perfectly. I felt like it felt falling off my shoulders and had to keep pulling it up, but other than it fit great. 

This is the perfect little black dress for a formal occasion. I wore it to a Bar Mitzvah and received sooo many compliments!

The fit and fabric of this dress was divine! The thicker scuba-like fabric gave a high-quality and comfortable fit. I felt chic in the square neck and ankle length. Highly recommend!

This dress is so good.  Very pretty square cut back as well.  Did not need to wear a bra because of the thick material and structure to the dress.  Straps would have shown otherwise.

Wow I love this dress! I’ve rented it multiple times. So sexy yet also work appropriate. True to size, but the back slit is high. I always wear a half slip or shorts. Love the pockets. Hoping to buy if the price drops. 

…but I had to keep pulling down the dress because the pockets would bunch but it was perfect for a work black tie optional event. And it was comfortable with some stretch.  

If you have a long torso the slit my come dangerously high in the back. See pic 😱. I noticed it AS I was leaving the house and didn't have time to change. I did bend down once at the event and thankfully no one was behind me. Definitely worth wearing but be aware of the slit! the pockets also hit higher with a long torso. If you have a larger chest you might need to size up. I didn't wear a bra with this dress, it was not needed. (36C) I love the fit of ALC dresses though so I am cutting this dress some slack.  I love the length. I am either an 8 and 10 in dresses and I wore the 8, If I had the 10 to try I may have gone with that. 

I am typically a 2/4 The 2 fit, but still had room to spare and could likely have worn a 0. The dress was very comfortable and modest enough for a work fundraiser. 

The perfect LBD! I sized down for a more fitted look. MUST rent!

This dress was perfect for a work gala event - elegant and formal. The thick fabric gave it structure and it was very flattering. The neckline has a built in sticky liner to help hold the dress on your chest and shoulders, but I still had to keep pulling up the sleeve. For petite girls, the square neckline is a little wide. I would still rent again.

Snug on the top — to hold up perfectly. Waist had a beautiful fit but my hips, while fitting inside, made the pockets flare slightly. Easily concealed by a belt.

Wore this to a tea party and wish I could keep it. Love it and will rent again 

THIS DRESS! I have not loved a dress this much in quite some time. It is so figure flattering. It has pockets. And it fits like a glove! Rent it.

I would love to own this dress. The shoulders and neckline are rubber lined so they don’t move around at all on your body. The pockets didn’t bother me like other reviews said, but I would order a 2 as a backup next time rather than the 6. Material was thick so no skims needed. 

Definitely a little tight on the hip area because of the pockets but still flattering. I think if you are taller it would be an awesome dress!!

This dress is perfect for a black tie wedding. Simple but elegant 

I have wide hips to begin with and the pockets sort of accentuate them, otherwise I like the dress. A little bit on the long side. 

I love how flattering the top is. It’s comfortable- a thick material with some stretch. Would work for all sorts of events. It’s pretty long- I’m tall and it’s just about to my ankles. While I couldn’t fill the pockets because they would look odd, I’m still happy they’re there. Would absolutely rent again!

So well made and flattering. It’s about 1 size too big for me, but loved it still.
