RENT THIS DRESS

Received compliments all night! The dress was so incredibly comfortable and effortless! I have a larger chest and did not wear a bra but it wasn't an issue at all. Did not have any issues with under or side boob. Loved this dress!

Great cut out dress for a formal affair!

Beware of the under boob poking out. Other than that, great dress for an outdoor event. The back is everything.

Lots of compliments!

The fit is true to size. I read all the reviews ahead of time and many say that it is smaller so I ordered a size up. I typically wear a 0 and ordered a 2 and 4 instead. I wore the 2 but it was a bit big around the waist. The top part fit well but I'm sure the 0 would have still fit nicely. The only weird part was the middle that attaches the top to the bottom. It kinda sticks out a bit but really to big of a deal. Overall I really liked it and got a lot of compliments!

Loved the open back! Made it classic with a twist. My boyfriend & I received many compliments.

If you have a bigger chest it can run a little tight up top! The waist fit perfectly, and I was able to wear a normal bra. It looked a little weird without one.

Absolutely perfect for a Spring/Summer wedding!

RENT THIS DRESS. The compliments were endless and the fit is perfect! I chose not to wear a bra and the size 4 (my normal dress size) fit perfect. I just used some fashion tape, but if you're small chested you really wouldn't need it. The waist was not too tight, so it didn't pinch my stomach when I sat whatsoever --it was truly an amazing and comfortable dress! SO many people loved it and I felt so beautiful in it! The necklace I wore was also from RTR and went PERFECTLY together!

I was in Vegas for my bachelorette party and we visited the RTR store which was so helpful!

The fit was perfect and flattering. Usually I find dresses with cut-outs can get quite uncomfortable after wearing them for a long time- but this dress great for 6+ hours of wear! I have wide hips so the volume of this skirt was super flattering on my body shape! Received compliments all night long!

Great party dress!

Wore it to my holiday party and loved it. It has interesting details and can be accesorized various ways. I had no problem with the fit - ordered both a 4 and 6 just in case and 4 ended up working fine. Would definitely recommend to anyone who wants to do something a little different!

Such a fun dress!

I loved this dress and got tons of compliments. It is a little hard to fit, as it fit in the bust but was a little too large around the waist. It was a little above knee length so the length was perfect. Paired with nude heels and statement earrings.

This dress fit well: It was just revealing enough with the cutouts but the high neck was classic.

Great dress! High neck balanced the side cut outs well. I got so many compliments--made my upper half look tiny!

Perfect amount of class and sass!

I rented this for an early fall Wedding in Montauk and it was a complete hit. The high neckline kept it appropriate while the cut outs added a little sexy touch. Depending on the style of dress and designer I can range between a 2, 4, or even a 6 (I'm petite but have a muscular/athletic build) Based on other reviews I ordered the 4 and a back up 6. The 4 fit great and I was able to wear a regular bra. I really think this could flatter many different body types. Grab a statement necklace and don't hesitate to order!

I wore this for my rehearsal dinner. I felt amazing and got tons of compliments.

My typical size in dresses is a 6 and this was no exception. It was tight on the top but I'm a size D so I expected that from the other reviews. Dress is a show stopper.

Perfect dress for an outdoor wedding!

I was a little concerned that this dress might show too much skin for a wedding ceremony, however, it was just the perfect amount for an outdoor Summer wedding. For indoor/more formal ceremonies I might suggest a shawl or cover-up until the reception as most of your back/sides will be showing. I received several compliments throughout the evening on the style! The dress fit true to size and was very comfortable for a night of dancing. Would definitely recommend to other renters!

I have never received this many compliments in my life. This dress made me feel perfect!

The top was true to size but the skirt did hang a hair lower due it being about a half inch too large. The fabric and color were stunning. #perfection #glamour #gorgeous

Wish I could wear it every darn day

This dress was a hit at a recent wedding. I got compliments from strangers. I felt so good in it that I hit on the very cute cater waiter. Perfect balance of elegant and sexy. I'm a pretty modest dresser and I was worried I'd feel too naked but I didn't at all. In dresses I go back and forth between a 2 and 4 but in this one the 2 was very tight and the 4 was perfect. I'm also pretty tall and it was just long enough.

Lots of compliments on the dress, perfect for a wedding during any season.

Runs a little big, I wore a 0 and it still hung off my waist in the back. Otherwise, it's perfect. I am 5'7", 117lbs, 32D or 32DD, usual dress size is 0. The dress is SO comfortable, and it's fun to dance because it twirls when you spin. No need for a bra, the top portion of the dress supports you well. Definitely recommended!

Rent this if you're looking to make a statement, it's amazing.

I rented a 0 and a 2. The 0 fit perfectly and I wore a strapless bra because I have a small chest and typically need to wear something with a little padding so I don't look like an 8th grade boy in drag. The dress was really fun to dance in and was surprisingly comfortable all night. I typically wear sheath type dresses so the full skirt was definitely 2 feet outside my comfort zone but I'm glad I went with it. Perfect for a wedding on 4th of July weekend on a gorgeous farm in western MA. The cut outs are totally classy - the dress is very well structured. Definitely wear your hair up if it's long. I paired it with pearl studs, a 3 strand pearl necklace and gold sandals. Loved this dress, it was perfect.

Cool, Stylish, and Comfy

I rented this dress after a dress I had ordered previously came and did not fit. This dress was awesome - the cut out top and sheer stripes along the skirt made it a lot of fun to wear. If I could buy it, I would. In the end, I think I liked this dress better than the one I had originally picked out. RTR was super-helpful and made sure that even though the dress I had originally selected didn't fit, they got me another dress that did. Thanks RTR and special thanks to stylist Muriel!

My go-to for formal events. So unique and such a standout dress!

This is the second time I have rented this dress (first was for a formal work dinner dance). Both times I have gotten nothing but compliments and questions of "Where did you get that?!" The dress fits true to size - I have a small chest so the fabric that connects the top and the skirts kind of hangs on me due to proportions, but the rest of it fits exactly the way a 0 normally does on my body. I have found that a bra is not needed, but can be worn without it being seen. I love the versatility of this dress - statement necklaces can completely change up the look, and it's fun to pair different shoes. For the work event, I wore maroon heels, which made it feel more "wintery," and i wore floral-print heels for the summer wedding, which gave the dress a lighter look. Highly, highly recommend this dress.

Loved this dress! Didn't even want to take it off at the end of the night!

This dress is true to size, even with the cuts on the side it still was classy and I could still pull if off for a graduation. I received many compliments from it. Loved it! Worked well with a pair of wedges I also rented the Kendra Scott--Grayce Necklace.

Amazing for a wedding!

I cannot say enough amazing things about this dress. The fabric was a navy silk that somewhat resembled taffeta or silk duppioni but was soft and not crinkly at all. The back was open so it worked well with a high neck. It accentuated my waist and back. I wore it to a black tie optional wedding at a beach club so it was a perfect dress for a fancier wedding but at a beachy place. I received many compliments on it and would highly recommend to anyone looking for an edgy alternative to a LBD!

I felt like a princess in this dress!

I am obsessed with this dress! I wore it to a formal wedding and was skeptical because of the open back.. but I received compliments all night long. It was so flattering and that is hard to find when you're a petite girl. Not to mention it's fun to dance in! I also want to point out that the dress is actually a dark navy blue, not black as I had originally thought it was. If you're thinking about renting this dress- you should. It will not disappoint you!

Great party dress!

Loved this dress, it was formal enough but still sexy and fun! The 4 was still a little big around my boobs; probably could have been fixed by wearing bra but I didn't feel like dealing with fashion tape or worrying about my bra showing since the back strap does move around a lot! Definitely size down unless you are broad up top or have big boobs! I wish I owned this dress!

I LOVED this dress! I ordered it for a Christmas Eve Party and had so many great compliments!

I'm usually a 0, but I have broad shoulders so I ordered a size 2. The 2 was still a bit tight in the chest area for me, but with some extra work I was able to get it in by going braless. Other than that the dress was great!

Everyone commented on how cute the dress was!! I loved it, it fit a little bit large, I'm glad I ordered a 4 (what I normally wear) and a 2 - I ended up wearing the 2. It was a bit pilly, but not noticeable at all!

Red Carpet Ready!

I felt radiant for a night of flashing lights at the "Be Scene" Red Carpet event in Vancouver, BC! The dress had a modest front with side cut-outs that was a prelude to the back less mid-drift detail. My satin red lipstick accented the royal blue hue of the dress, both of which complimented my medium skin tone. This dress fits true to size. I did not wear a bra given the cut detail of the back of the dress. I wore sheer black tights and 4" black booties. The black mesh detail on my shoes complimented the white mesh on the dress. For the winter weather, I wore a black belted thigh length pea coat. For jewelry, I wore a gold necklace, diamond ring, and gold hoop earrings. As for my hair, I had a playful look with a slick tight ponytail with a loose rolling wavy texture. The texture was set from a previous fishtail braid.

It was such a great dress for a wedding because its very classy in the front but a little something extra in the back. It fit great and it was nice not to have to worry about tugging on a strapless bra all night. So glad I decided to rent this dress!!!

Classy with a hint of flirty- I stood out from the crowd.

Now, I will go ahead and say this up front: ladies, if you are petite, the top will likely be loose. No worries, though! It doesn't look as bad as you'd think. Rent it anyway! It's a fabulous dress. Very comfortable, very simple, and very glamorous. A definite showstopper. Wore it to my Homecoming and I was asked to dance again- and again- and again. Worth the money!

Loved the dress! First experience with RTR and it will not be the last!

The dress fit true to size. I usually wear a 6 or 8 but the size 6 would not zip around the bust. The 8 fit better but was looser on the waist. Was a little worried about the dress being a little too revealing for a wedding but I received several compliments! Just wish the dress didn't wrinkle so easily.

I loved this dress so much and am so glad that I rented it!! I went to a wedding, and was hesitant to wear a dress with a revealing back, but I got lots of compliments and didn't want to send it back! No bra was needed, and while I'm usually a 4, the 2 fit perfectly. I can't say enough about this dress. Really. It's amazing.

Just sexy enough..

Wore this to an evening networking function and it was a big hit! A little professional, a little sexy, and a whole lotta fun. Pear shapes rejoice--this dress is made for your body! Make sure you get the size that will fit the smallest part of your waist--I am usually a 4/6 on top, and even the 4 was a little loose on my waist. Would definitely not recommend the dress for anyone above a C-cup--the dress is very fitted on top and would probably flatten a large chest. Also, the dress is a dark blue in person, not black, so coordinate your accessories accordingly. Have fun!

This dress is beautiful! It is Navy Blue not Black, and I recommend a size down as the top is a bit stretched out. I wore a hot pink wrap during the church ceremony to hide the back. Got a lot of compliments!

As usual RTR didn't let me down. This dress is a unique show stopper.

This dress fit like a glove. Being 5'11 the dress was the perfect length, just the right amount of class. I would definitely rent this dress again!
