It fit true to size per my measurements. It was extremely comfortable.

Tried it with big and small jewelry. Looked better with bigger jewelry.

Wore this to a film festival award ceremony. Nice way to dress up but still feel like you’re in everyday clothes. Fun dress to wear. Also had a nice fit. Love how the bottom drops.

So comfortable and so pretty!

I got this in an 8 long and a 10 regular. The 10 was too big but so made it work. The 8 would’ve been perfect but it was WAY to long. The fabric is beautiful. The dress doesn’t look over worn like some have from RTR. I got a ton of compliments on it.

Comfy and flattering dress!

Very comfortable and simple yet stunning dress. Easy to accessorize and make it your own. The long was perfect for me since I wore 4'' heels. There's a little bit of stretch and the fabric is weighted + high quality. Would definitely rent again.

Compliments all night!

I loved this dress! I wore it to conduct a choir concert, and it was perfect. The back perfectly shows off the shoulders, and the front is flattering with a gorgeous halter. When you walk, the back follows beautifully. I'm short (5'2"), but with the petite size and 3" heels, I was all good. My students and their parents showered me with compliments. It's conservative but sexy and age/work appropriate. I'd definitely rent it again!

Formal Wedding Glamour!

Made me feel chic and classy for a formal wedding, and very comfortable dress. It was a touch long, but since I'm very short (5 ft and a half inch), every dress is long. absolutely loved it, would highly recommend.

Dress was perfect minus the length

This dress fit amazingly but the regular length was a little too short for my liking. Also recommend wearing with strapless or clear strap bra, which I had neither so I had to conceal with my hair. But overall the dress worked for the event.

Loved this dress!

Extremely comfortable and flattering. The dress runs true to size and stretches, so would say it's on the cusp of running slightly large. If you're deciding between an 8-10, go with an 8! I would definitely wear this dress again.

So comfortable!

I wore this to a ball and it was the perfect dress to get that elegant yet simple feel. The dress was really comfortable, had a good amount of stretch and the fabric was thick and heavy enough to smooth out the lines. I'm 5'1" and the petite was the perfect length with 3" heels.

Work event but very fun!

Loved this dress - I was unsure how the top would fit as I'm a 34A. I ended up not needing to wear a bra under the dress and there were no gaps. I'm 5'2" and didn't need to use the hem tape. I did pick it up as I walked, but that was more of a precaution than absolutely necessary.

Stunning dress and fit like a glove! I wear a size 4 normally, so was very surprised when the 2R was a perfect fit. Highly reccomend this dress for any formal occasion.

Comfortable and elegant

The dress was very comfortable and definitely had stretch to it. It fit perfectly. The only issue is it was slightly long as I am only 5'3". I wore 4 inch heels which definitely helped. This was my backup dress and while it was very simple, i still received many compliments. The fabric had stretch but still felt like it was high quality

Beautiful gown

Absolitely beautfiful. I wore the 8 because the 6 was just a bit tight around the middle. The length was great especially with 2 inch heels. It was a great piece that was dressy enough for a black tie wedding, but not too flashy. Classy piece for sure!

Hugged all of my curves, but I payed for it in length

Rented this dress for my friends end of summer, formal evening wedding. It hugged my curves and made me feel beautiful and sexy, but even the long wound up being too short for my liking. I tried on the 16, but with my small waist and narrow ribcage (and despite my 36F bust) it was too baggy up top. I experienced the same issues as another reviewer, where the lining of the dress twisted around all night and I was constantly adjusting it. Overall the rental worked well for me. I wish RTR had more simple sexy black gowns in my size and long length!

Beautiful, classic gown

This gown was absolutely perfect for my conference gala. I ordered one size up after reading the other reviews. I’m 5’1-ish and wore a modest heel so I did have to carry the train while walking but it made me feel fancy LOL. I wore a strapless bra but if you have a smaller chest you probably won’t need one. The fabric felt luxurious. 10/10 would definitely rent again!

Classic and elegant! I loved this dress for a black tie Christmas party.

The 8 was perfect on me. Fit was great but would have been better if I had a larger chest. The top part was a tiny bit loose… not enough to worry about though. Length was perfect and the fabric draped beautifully. Loved the back too. I would highly recommend for a black tie event.

A little long but at 5’2” with platforms no issues.

Strapless bra and fashion tape sealed the deal. I have a humble chest. I felt confident and at ease, which is a lot for me. I rented 2p and 4p, I tried on the 4 first and I was like it zips, I’m not gonna try the two. The skirt comes in crumpled so you need a steamer for a flawless presentation. Definitely recommend.

I ordered the 16 and 18 Long. The 16 fit perfectly, but I wanted a looser fit so I went with the 18L that still showed my curves. I loved it.

I will rent this again and again

I ordered two sizes, 4 and a 6 petite as my second size. They actually both fit the same except the 4 was a bit longer than the 6 and with heels, the dress brushed the floor. So I went with the size 6 and felt amazing the whole night. There isn’t much flexibility in the fabric but it didn’t feel restrictive.

Classic. Glamorous. I loved it!

I would buy this one in a heartbeat. Skims the body and slight flare below the knee. Perfect fit except for bust area being a little roomy. But a push up strapless bra made it work. I wore 3 inch heels and length was perfect. This gown is comfortable and gorgeous. Easy to walk, sit and dance in. The neckline is perfect for showing off shoulders. I would rent it again.

Super comfortable and got tons of compliments!

I loved wearing this dress! I’m 5’4” and usually between a size 4 and 6, and the 4 worked perfectly for me. It really flattered my figure and wasn’t too tight in the hips. I wore it with a sticky bra just to keep things looking smooth and secure. The fabric is thick and the quality feels really good. The length was great with the 2.5 inch heels that I wore, and the hem did skim the floor and little bit it wasn’t hard to walk. I will definitely rent this dress again!

SO COMFORTABLE

This dress was extremely comfortable. It was stretchy and the material was thick, so I felt secure. The dress is long. I am 5’4” and ordered the petite size and wore 3 inch heels and it was just right but when I took off the shoes it was too long. Lots of compliments and very flattering! Will definitely rent again.

Great dress for Black Tie Optional Event

This dress fit really well and fit right in to a black tie optional wedding! It is tight (not too tight) and at times I felt like you could see the lines of spanx underneath which is just something to keep in mind. Otherwise- length was good with heels! Able to comfortably dance all night

Perfect for pear/hourglas shapes

I didn't end up wearing this dress to a formal wedding (as a guest), but only because the dress I ended up wearing was backless, which is what I was looking for. However, this dress fit amazingly and I ended up buying it for later needs. The material is thick and the dress is super comfy.

Yes yes yes!!!

This dress is not my style at all- I usually go with something less form- fitting. But I scrolled through the review pictures and this dress looked AMAZING on everybody so I tried it out. It was a keeper. I bought it. To note, I would have loved to get it tailored, but I had the event before I decided to purchase the dress. I will be getting it taken in and hemmed a little to make the fit perfect, but it was amazing for a rental.

Beautiful black tie dress

This was my emergency (had to call for a replacement) backup dress. I normally wear a 12/Large on top and a 14 pant. I thought ordering a size 14 dress would work. It did not. I sized up to a 16 in this dress, and it fit great. I was able to wear a strapless bra under this dress for support. The fabric was beautiful. I am wearing 3" heels with this dress and it was a great length.
