Nothing bad about it, I'm not a very big sparkle person and the sparkles only on the back perfectly went with it!

I wore this dress to my junior prom which we had no theme and it was on a boat and I didn't want something with a dramatic bottom and having to squeeze through a boat in a big dress so I did research and found something in expensive and gorgeous . I got so many compliments from teachers and students , I felt amazing and comfortable all night , there were some spots on the dress that weren't exactly visible unless someone went searching for them . It was and okay length with heels but would recommend a heel under 4 inches if that . I'm not the slimmest girl in the abdomen area but it was revealing in the front which worried me during photos but I got over it and didn't worry . Overall its very easy to move around in and dance and the bra I had with it was even more comfortable .

I had ordered a size 8 knowing it would be loose fitting so I felt more comfortable and I also ordered a size 10. Last minute they couldn't ship me my size 8 so I had to wear the 10, it wasn't terrible it fit in certain weighs but it was big in my whole upper body. Anyways, it was a beautiful dress! 

I rented this beautiful dress for prom. I am only a freshman but wanted less glam and more elegance. This was my first choice but I ended up choosing my backup dress. The color of my other dress was red which glowed against my skin color. I am a regular size 6/4 so the dress was not as fitted as I would have liked but very manageable. I loved the fit of this dress, and the fabric was beautiful; very expensive feeling and looking. I would definitely wear this gown to a future occasion.  

NOTE: I am 5'4 and I ordered the reg. 8, which I tried on with 5&1/2 in. heels and it was not floor length. Would suggest no more than 3 inch. 

Loved the fit of this dress with a Wow! back. The only slight issue I have is that the front doesn't photograph as well, but overall the dress was very comfortable. A bit of a watchout that the dress is so figure hugging in a fabric that will show everything so its definitely something to wear if you've worked out and are ready to show that level of detail. Also, the beading in the folded fabric is only noticeable if you look straight on at the back. Not a big deal for me, but was a bit different than what I expected.

This dress was my 'second style', i ordered 2 dresses for a formal event (Barrister's Ball for my boyfriend's law school). I was only able to order 1 size, because i ordered 2 sizes in my first choice dress. I was worried about what size to order because depending on the store, i can wear anything from a 2 petite (Ann Taylor) to a 6 regular. I have a chest (32 DDD/34DD), normal hips, a little bit of a booty and i'm 5 foot 4. I messaged the stylists' on this site, and after hearing my measurements she recommended a 6 regular.... it fit perfectly! The dress was a tad long, but with a 3-4 inch heel it would have been fine. The reason i chose to not go with this dress for the event was because the material was very unforgiving. You can see every detail of your body in it, and i have no idea how other girls wore underwear with it. I tried on a 'barely there thong' with it, and you could still see every detail.... no underwear is not my style so i was not going to wear it. I tried the dress on without anything on up top (no bra, cups, tape - nothing) and it looked fine. Because i have natural curves, i did not like the way the dress draped in the front. The material of the dress was soft and had a bit of weight to it, which made it feel elegant and formal... not cheap and tacky like some dresses at a department store. The jewels on the dip in the back were pretty.

Overall -- i think this dress would be gorgeous on a girl with less curvature to her body so that it 'hangs' better on her body. It was pretty... but maybe i would have liked it better in a dark color to hide more line/wrinkle/detail underneath! I hope this review helps!

Is it possible you can post a pic of the front? I'm curious to know if it looks a tad plan or not.

Did it show lots of imperfections? Did you feel like the dress held you in alright?

I'm pretty much same size how did this handle boobs? 


I live in NYC and this was the first time I used RTR. I was lucky enough to make a style appointment and try this dress in advance, and I'm glad I did! It was not something that initially caught my eye on the website, but after i tried it on in person, I knew it was elegant and something that could easily handle my boyfriend's wild dance moves! ;) 

Although it was somewhat true to size. (I normally wear a size 4) The side zipper did not lay as flush to my body as much as I wish it would have (zipper rippled a little) but overall it was a gorgeous dress. I received so many compliments and for my petite frame it really complemented my shape, while being the perfect balance of sexy and sophisticated. This is a great dress for a  black tie event. I paired it with a plum nail and lipstick and silver clutch for an edgier touch.  

The dress fit perfectly and it was extremely comfortable.  I wore it to an awards gala at a winery and I received countless compliments. 

I am planning on renting this dress.  I am 5'6 and will be wearing heels.  What did u do for a bra?


You need to wear an undergarment unless you are in perfect shape, a but unforgiving but the dress is not sheer. It is beautiful on

I wore a sticky bra. Worked fine! Definitely get the Long

Great dress. Forgot to take any pictures!! I'm 5'4 and the dress was too short with any heel higher than about an inch. I wish I would of got the long, but it still was great with a short heel. 

Could you possible post another photo?! curious to see how it looks! i want to rent it

possible to post more pics? especially the front

I am the same height, so do you recommend getting a Regular or Large when wearing just 3 inch heels.

Do you think the material is stretchy enough for maternity wear?

I didn't rent this dress, but I do own it - it was my wedding dress :) (in ivory) It's a slinky material and not very forgiving in the front, but it's a head turner and insanely comfortable.

I went for the 2L since I'm 5'5" and a half and wore stilettos. It was lovely! I normally wear a 4, so order in your size and one size smaller
