Very nice, but it's too tight if you can see your belly button through the dress.  Also the material is pretty heavy. Too heavy for summer.

I originally ordered an 8 and a 10 but got nervous the closer I go to the wedding. I went to the designer's website and looked at his Fit Chart and discovered I was in the middle of a 10 and 12 (my bust size) so I changed my order days before the wedding and crossed my fingers. The 10 fit perfectly and the 12 looked a little big so I brought that with in case I spilled coffee of something.  
It was perfect! The fabric weight is heavy, the dress is lined (which can sometimes bunch so be careful), and I got LOADS of compliments on how I looked and how smart it was to rent.  Fantastic!

The fit was great! The fabric is a bit thick but perfect for a February event. 

I wore this for the bridal shower held by my family. I got many compliments and the dress felt very high quality. I sized up and still wore spanx because the fabric does show every bump. But it's beautiful! 

I got the 12 & 14 and had a serious debate which one to wear.  I went with the 12 which looked amazing in person it made the best of my curves.  I got nothing but compliments  but the pictures would have been better with the 14.  I was happy wearing the 12 but if you are instagram concerned with a bit of a belly, size up. 

Cut slim. I was not aware of this in the black (I rented that one earlier). But the white showed all my flaws.  I wish I had prepared for spankx and better bra. It still was lovely, but it is very heavy, not a warm weather dress!

The sleeves are everything! Xmas Eve Mass is my family’s Oscars and this dress hit the mark. The fit was true to size. The fabric is fabulous for a proper MI winter. The funnel-neck is a lovely detail if you have broader shoulders. If you have hostess or baby-momma duties, the sleeves are a challenge.  Also challenging if you wear a coat; choose your outerwear wisely! My friend liked it so much, she found it online in black and bought it for her wardrobe. I would absolutely wear this again!

So elegant and thick quality material!  Love the dramatic sleeves and its very flattering if you order the correct size! Others have said it shows all your flaws, but with spanx and the correct size it will be flattering on just about anyone. 

I received complements on the dress all night!

Nice, cold weather dress. Heavy fabric.  Snug fit, but appropriately sized. 

Loved this dress.  It fit perfectly w/no slip needed.  Wonderful quality!

Perfect for a formal winter event. The dress was not a bright white - but more of a winter/silver white with a generous fit in a thick flattering material that draped beautifully. 

This was a great dress for me--warm, dressy, sophisticated. Had a very nice formal birthday dinner and this dress was amazing on. It not only looked sexy and fit well, it was warm enough for the weather. I have a very hard time with strappy dresses during the cold months. This was a nice think material and fit well for someone who is slightly pear shaped. I am only 5'2" and the length was quite nice (for a 55 yo) and would still be awesome for someone quite a bit taller. Would absolutely rent this dress again. 

It was a little bigger in the sides than I would have preferred, but from a distance it wasn't noticeable. The weight of the dress was surprising, but very nice and helped feel secure. I had to be mindful of my arm movements when it came to the sleeves, but I wouldn't trade the drama they provided in pictures for anything. So happy I chose this dress to wear - it was perfect for a 2018 Homecoming Queen.

Wore this to a celebrity charity gala. Received compliments all night. Dress is just slightly off-white, not bright white (which I liked), very comfortable with a little stretch. In a room full of LBD's this was a stand out with its color and unique sleeves and modern cut. Not too short or tight for a formal gala but form fitting and flattering. Thinking about buying this timeless style! One word of advice: You do need to watch your sleeves if you are eating dinner. I had to hold them up if I was reaching across my plate to make sure they didn't drag through my food. It wasn't a big deal, just something to be aware of. 

Fabric has a little stretch. My nylons had a seam that you could see in the front of my dress. But I scrunched the fabric a bit to hide it. It was no issue. Loved the dress 

Compliments all day long in this gorgeous dress.
Pros: lined for a smooth finish, I didn't need spa color or anything special, the fit was incredible- just enough stretch. Sleeves were amazing.
No cons.

I styled this as shown but swapped sneakers for nude laced Valentino pumps in the office

Rented for sorority international conference. Classic, head turning. Complements from all generations: blue-bonnets and college ladies alike.  Well made heavier fabric, kept me warm in freezing conference center. Bell sleeves were a little heavy (made of same fabric as dress). Good stretch, easy to move in and sit. I wore with a smoothing slip, did not need full spanx. I am 5'7", 149lb, a 32DD, 29" waist, 40" hips, wear 6-8 depending on cut. 

I'm 5'2", about 148lbs, and curvy- but this dress fit me like it was made for me. My favorite dress- hands down! So beautiful, elegant yet simple, and fabulous! The sleeves are everything and the material so thick but gorgeous. I wore it for my daughter's Baptism- it was perfect! 

Overall gorgeous fit and flattering for ladies who have curves! Got a ridiculous amount of compliments and it was the perfect amount of dressy even with a shorter length!

Fit snuggly - I should have ordered a 6. Heavy weight and more of a winter white color. Too heavy for Summer. 

This dress was perfect. I'm 6'1 and it hit right above my knees (which I loved). It was a little fitted in the stomach area but that was expected. My only complaint is that because the collar is so big, it was a little flimsy. Other than that it was amazing. Everyone loved it and got a few "best dressed" compliments :)

Received loads of compliments on this piece. Great dress and fit true to size. I would rent it again!

The fabric is stretchy. I got size 16 when normally i wear size 14. The larger size was not baggy. Wearing white will show more of your curves, especially the belly buldge. I was very satisfied with the fit of the larger size. I did get compliments. I love RTR unlimited. I can wear something new or fun each week. Also can try things i will never dare to buy.

Wore this to an awards dinner. I ordered a little late, so they didn't have the black or size 16 I wanted. I would have liked it to fit much tighter. I wore Spanx Higher Power underneath and everything was smooth. I carry my weight in my breasts and thighs/hips and the dress was very comfortable. (I'm so over uncomfortable clothes!) It was great for a cool spring night because the fabric was heavy. Kinda wished I'd had a brooch for it because it would have been perfect. The dress photographs well.

I felt amazing in this dress. It is very structured and feels very elegant. I deducted a star because it does not photograph well. In fact, it photographs quite terribly. The length and style were perfect for our daughter's christening. The color was more ivory than bright white so it did wash me out a little.

Fit well. Does show lumps & bumps but control top hosiery helped. Lots of compliments!

Beautiful dress with fabulous sleeves. I got compliments all day. True to size. My only gripe is there was something weird going on with the mining so I had to adjust several times throughout the day, especially after trips to the ladies room. 

Two big notes:
1) I am 6 ft tall and this dress came to my knees/a little longer so it was perfect for a shower.
2) The sleeves are show stoppers.

I wore this to a work gala. Both dress sizes worked for me and I am in between the two sizes so I was nervous about fit. I did wear spanx as the white color is less forgiving. The material is very thick and good quality. I ended up in the bigger size which was a little big in the top but the length was much better in my hips as I am pear shaped. It is stretchy and I was comfortable standing and sitting. My favorite RTR to date. I want to rent the black one next! Tons of compliments all night! 

I am 5'10; 145lbs with an athetic build. I ordered a size 6 and 8, the 8 was huge and the 6 felt a bit large. The dress itself was magical, I received countless compliments on the dress and would highly recommend. 

I wore this to a DC political event and loved it. It reminds me of an Olivia Pope outfit from Scandal. Got lots of compliments. Great for hourgalss figures. It runs true to size but is stretchy so you have wiggle room.

Got so many compliments and loved this dress. It was a little large in the waist, but otherwise fit great. Material was thicker which is good for winter. Would recommend to any bride!

This dress was perfect for our surprise 10 person wedding. It is well-made and holds it shape beautifully (I didn't even have to steam it when it arrived). 

I would suggest ordering a size down as your back up. I'm a bit hippy, but thanks to great control garments, I preferred the fit of the smaller size so it really fit well around the shoulder and bust. I wear a 38D and found the size 16 to be a bit loose on top. 

The cowl neckline is so flattering and the sleeves are EVERYTHING. Our friends, the restaurant staff and other patrons could not stop raving about the dress! And all my social media and guests' posts were non-stop comments about this dress. It really is spectacular and you will be so glad you chose this dress. 

I would buy this dress in an instant if it came up sale. It pained me to return it!

There aren't words to describe how much I love this dress! I got so many compliments on this dress it's crazy people stopped me on the street to tell me how much they loved it. I wore it to a party I hosted where I asked everyone to wear winter white and it was perfect highly recommend!

Great dress, thick material. Flattering and true to size. The dress is standard but the ivory white color and the sleeves make it a standout! I would definitely rent again; the only downside is that it will wrinkle if sitting for a while. 

A lovely dress. I was looking for a classy white outfit to wear to my wedding shower in December. The fabric was thick, so I didn't feel too cold in it. I paired the dress with pearl earrings and baby pink suede block heels with ankle straps. Received many compliments from both my family and other people at the venue. The sleeves were a wonderful touch. 

This is an awesome dress.  I'm 6' tall and wore the 14.  I had a little extra room in the hips.  This is also stunning in the black.  The material is heavy and it's well made.  The sleeves wouldn't fit into a coat so I didn't wear one.  I had so many compliments!  I would love to own both the white and black!  Great dress!

This dress is beautiful in pictures but it was not cut right for my body type. I ordered a 14 but wore my backup size of 16. I had room in the 16 but it still wasn't super flattering. I think that if I had gone up to an 18, it would have been way too big and I would have been unhappy. This dress was tight in the mid section which was ok considering I could strategically hide it with my bouquet in photos! I would recommend this dress but definitely go up a size or two from your actual size if you are short and curvy and also get a back up just in case it doesn't work.
