Loved this dress and I received so many compliments.  Andrea Lieberman is a woman's designer.   The waist is perfect (I'm not a Coca Cola shape so my waist is but larger in proportion to the 36-24-36 girl), the slit and the deep v is too.  Because of the fabric and sleeves I would wear when it's at or below 75 degrees.  

This was my second choice dress for the wedding I attended but I immediately loved it upon trying it on. Perfect for a winter wedding. The dark green is beautiful. Definitely a plunging neckline! I used some dress tape and wish I had ordered some boob tape but it did work out fine, even on the dance floor! I received SO many compliments on this dress, I felt pretty amazing. 
I'm usually an 8 but the 10 fit much better. (5' 6", 145 lbs.) Awesome dress!

Loved the long sleeves, plunging neckline, shoulder padding, short but not too short length, and asymmetric hem!! Things to note: The asymmetry is made possible by a slit going all the way up to your waist. When sitting the dress spread completely apart from the waist down, which was a bit shocking. Luckily, i was wearing bike shorts underneath! A well-placed napkin helped at dinner. The dress appears black in photos, but it's a lovely dark teal. BOOB TAPE IS A MUST - you won't regret that $15!!

This dress was perfection! I was able to wear a bra with it so that was a great surprise. The 2 didn't have shoulder pads in it but I think I like it better without. Very structured. Perfect fit. Absolutely will rent again!

Rented for a wedding. I wear size 4-6 and the 6 was pretty tight but fit like a glove. Definitely shows cleavage so beware if you have a bigger bust. Also quite short and not the best for dancing, I would choose a different event for this if you're taller like me. But overall loved it and got tons of compliments. Color is more of a dark teal than the navy seen in the picture. 

Lovely deep green color, nicely tailored, dramatic neckline - 5 stars!

Even at this price, I'm tempted to buy it...

It is snug fitting and revealing, so you may want to size up if you are in between.  (It fit me like a glove, but there is not much margin for error, so if you are ordering this for a special occasion then consider getting a backup as well!)

Great shoulders, small in the chest area, short and flattering. Had to layer top part and be careful with the short bottom. 

I wore this for my birthday and it was perfect! The plunging neckline gives this dress just enough sexy for me.  Asymmetric hemline was a great touch.  It runs small especially through the hips, size up one or two depending on booty size.  

Beautiful for backyard wedding. Dress definitely runs a size small, and is deep cut. You'll need fashion tape to ensure the deep v is secure. Otherwise, got many compliments. I'm 6'0, 165lbs and am a 36B

Typically wear a 2 or a 4, depending on the brand. I ordered both sizes, and the 4 was far too big (and missing shoulder pads!) while the 2 was too snug around the shoulders/under the bust. A bit low cut if you want to wear a normal bra underneath. Regardless, it's a pretty solid dress for a fall wedding. Not sure I would rent again simply because of the sizing issue.

Loved the dress, so many compliments. Definitely need some boob tape and probably better for those with flatter chests. 

Just meh. I am straight up and down, this dress did me no favors. I bet it would look nicer on someone with hips.

Loved the shoulders to give a business look. Short and very low cut. More of a party dress but I wore for WFH with a bandeau underneath due to pandemic. Mentally helped put me in rockstar mode. 

Wore this dress for fall/winter wedding and it was beautiful. Love the asymmetrical cut and long sleeves. The top was tight enough I never felt like I was going to fall out. Was snug around the ribs, but the 8 was a perfect fit. Would absolutely rent again!

Love this dress! I wore it to a NYE wedding in Chicago, and the fabric and long sleeves were great for the cold night. The shoulder pads give the dress a great silhouette along with the asymmetrical skirt, and the deep green color is gorgeous (doesn't show well in pictures, though!). I was originally going to wear with sheer black tights and black pumps, but because the green is so dark, I opted for gold heels. I'm very small chested, so the deep V wasn't scandalous and I didn't need tape to keep things in place. I'm also very petite and the size 0 fit me perfectly, so it may run slightly small for some. I'd rent this again for another winter party.

This dress was perfect! It runs a little small so I would recommend a back up size. Low cut but in a flattering way.

Like most reviews, the dress runs small I would size up one size. Really great dress no fashion tape needed for small chested gals, just pasties. 

The dress was beautiful and fit very well. As advertised it is low and wide cut. You have to have some good tape. I added a lacy cami, because it was for my husband's work event and I needed a bit more coverage. 

Loved this dress. I know people have said it runs small but I felt like it ran pretty true to size. I chose the side 4 over the size 6 in order to fit my waist and bust, so it was a little tight on the bottom but that's to be expected. I received lots of compliments throughout the night and also danced a lot. 

Loved this dress. It was a little small in the bust area post baby, but fashion tape helped. 

Dope dress. I felt great.  Color was gorg.  A little short in front but nothing a strategically placed clutch or napkin couldn't fix

Rented this dress for my birthday in NYC. My husband surprised me with Hamilton tickets so this was the perfect theater dress! It is definitely short in front for tall girls, but longer in the back. I wore a regular black bra underneath for nice cleavage - if you don't want any bra to show, make sure you have a plunging one as mine showed a little but was barely noticeable with the dark colors. I highly recommend this dress - I felt so sexy and sophisticated!

love, love, love.  I wore this for a night out in Vegas and received so many compliments. I'm in between a B and C cup, size 36 and felt it was just sexy enough without putting the girls on full display. Not only was it classy and sexy but also really comfortable to wear. I'd absolutely wear this again!

Pro tip: use Sparthos Kinesiology Tape to give the girls some perk and hold them in place. Worked like a charm!!

Beautiful cut that flatters any shape - long sleeves with a deep plunging neckline looks sophisticated and sexy at the same time. 

For people with larger chests: there isn't much support in the fabric of the dress, though it is thick enough to wear without a bra. I did the Kim K tape trick so I did not end up spending the night panicking about everything staying in place.

Love, love, love this dress and would definitely rent again. Highly recommend fashion tape shapes, used the trapezoid shapes above the breasts and curve below. Tape held throughout a night of dancing without incident. Also used the breast lift tape with this dress as well. 

There is a slip underneath the asymmetrical slit in the front. The wind caught this a few times so would use tape here if you’re planning to be outdoors for an extended period. 

The length was a little short for my preference, it was fine standing but definitely had to be mindful of how I was positioning my self when sitting/standing. 

This dress fit me so well. I felt great and the material kept me warmer in the colder months. I loved having long sleeves. 

This has been my favorite dress I've rented on RTR. I wore this to my engagement party. Size 2, my measurements are 32-27-35. I am very pale and the green looked lovely on my skin (not easy to find a flattering color for us Irish girls). The neckline was sexy but not scandalous. I felt sexy, chic, and like a model. I honestly don't have a con for this dress and I'm very honest in my reviews.

The 4 was perfect, it was a little tight in the thighs. I wanted to wear the 6 for more room, but the zipper kept getting stuck at the waist seam and the small shoulder pads were missing. 

The dress was super low cut at first but double sided sticky tape worked very well! Once that detail was worked out, the dress was a perfect choice for the event. Very light weight material and the green perfectly matched the picture. 

The fit was very flattering. Definitely not for the well endowed, if you know what I mean...I'm a C cup and barely got away without it looking obscene. I would wear it again! #workparty #bmas 

Absolutely flattering dress. It's a tight dress that isn't so tight you feel like you're a sausage! The wide shoulders create an illusion of a smaller waist. The layering of the material hides your midsection and the length is short but not offensive.  One watch out is the deep v; I used fashion tape to ensure I did not have a nip slip! I got so many compliments and felt incredibly sexy! 

I absolutely loved this dress. All the reviews cautioned that the dress ran quite small, but for smaller chested ladies like myself that might not be the case? I ordered my usual size 2 and a 4 for backup; the 2 fit perfect. I wore this dress to a charity event, got a ton of compliments and my husband loved it. Most importantly though, I felt gorgeous in it! 

One word of caution, fashion tape is necessary to prevent any side boob from showing. 

This dress was so great, I even want to rent it again. Stunning and received so many comments. 

The only issue I had with this dress is that it’s a little snug in the waist. Other than that, great fit, surprisingly comfortable, super sexy but still sophisticated. Love it!!

This was TINY for me. I'm a 6/8 hourglass with a small waist and obviously full bust and hips. I think it might be good two sizes up but I'm sending back. 

Deep v neckline did not require dress tape, the sleeves are unique and help to slim the waistline creating an hourglass shape, the skirt is roomy enough to sit and eat! 

Love this dress so much! Ordered a 0 and a 2 but the 0 only shipped so had to make it work. I have a larger chest so it was a little scandalous for a wedding but it was so fun! 

I was so excited about this dress and really actually loved it. Unfortunately, it was a bit too booby for the event I was needing it for. But if you want to show off your girls - this is a super flattering dress!

There are only two cons to this dress.
One it runs small. I am normally an 8 or 10, and with this dress, I wore a 12. 
Two it is short. 
Other than that I love this dress. When I stood on stage to take pictures with the Bravolebrities I felt beautiful. My favorite part of the dress is the shade of forest green! 

It's definitely a bold deep V, but I got a ton of compliments. I would recommend some bust tape
