I had to steam the bow several times and it still kept folding at the corner - if you're type A like me, save yourself the heartache   This was an incredible dress and fit like a glove but the bow drive me nuts 

Boob tape is your friend! I taped em together and it made all the difference to make this dress perfect. I was worried about the boob/arm fat near my armpits and this 100% fixed that. I felt stunning all night. Very flattering dress 😍

The dress was snug enough to keep up and we danced the night  away

I had to size up as I have some winter weight- I received a ton on compliments-I’m not sure if it runs small but I normally wear a 2 and now a 4 but wear a 6 in this dress :)  

The fit was good-a little big in the bust. Everything else was perfection. I recommend this dress.  It’s classy and sexy.  

This dress is comfortable, sexy, sophisticated, playful, and elegant.  Would be appropriate and a statement for any occasion.  The velvet part has some give while the bust is less forgiving.  

Really liked the dress was a show stopper!!! Just added simple silver sparkly heels and earrings didn’t over accessorize. Pull it up during photos or may look to revealing

Everyone loved this dress! It was very comfortable and flattering despite the fact that it has absolutely no structure to it (the stretchy velvet fabric itself is fairly thin). Others have commented on the heaviness of the bow and I would agree. Had to keep pulling it up all night, but I was fine with it because the dress was so cute. 

The bow is heavy and makes it a bit tricky to keep the gown up and in place. 

I did not want to return this dress! It was so flattering, forgiving & comfortable. I’m usually between a 4-6 for dresses and went with the 4. The top was too big on me so I ended up needing to wear a strapless bra to help keep it up. As other reviews mentioned, the bow is heavy so you can expect to be pulling up the top consistently. I used some fashion tape to help keep it in place but it didn’t solve the problem. I was also surprised how short the dress was (I’m 5’5) and was unable to wear anything higher than a kitten heel to still have the bottom of the dress graze the floor. Overall, I’d still recommend renting it despite these things- I got so many compliments! 

Loved the velvet textured bottom that hugged my curves. I had to pull up the top a couple times as others mentioned, but wasn’t a distraction or bother to the evening. The bow held its shape and remained lifted which I was concerned about!  The 4 fit perfect in length but just not the bust. I am larger chested so the 6 had to do. Length was very long on me in the train and had to wear 5 inch heels to keep it from dragging the ground. Overall loved my experience with RTR and will do it again. Such an easy way to borrow a beautiful dress you may only wear once. 

Amazing! Definitely a show stopping piece. Wore this to a black tie event with dignitaries. I got so many compliments. This dress is velvet and has satin detailing. . 

This dress was an absolute dream come true!! I received so many compliments and it fit wonderfully. It felt so incredibly expensive, very soft velvet and the bow was stunning. The bottom velvet portion is stretchy. The top portion with the bow has boning to give structure, but that also means no stretch. The bow is heavy too, I tried using fashion tape but it failed about a few hours in. I am a 38B and the 12R top portion fit me just right. I’d say if your cup size is any bigger, size up. I usually wear a 12 or 14 in bottoms and a size L in tops. 

Loved wearing this dress to a winter black tie wedding! I would recommend sizing up- the velvet part of the dress has stretch but the top part with the bow doesn’t. I am normally an 8 and wore the size 10. The length was just fine with heels. 

This dress was perfect for a holiday formal!! I did not want to send it back. Received so many compliments. 

My only complaint is that I did have to pull up the top multiple times through the night, but expected this after other reviews I read. The chest area was pretty snug on me, which is why I think I experienced this issue. But it wasn’t too bad.  Fashion tape also helped. I would still highly recommend! 

For reference, I am 5’2” and wore 3” heals. The length hit the floor perfectly. 

I had a vision for Christmas photos and this dress fulfilled every single expectation! Top fit snug, probably not for a really busty woman. 

True to size. I’m 5’2” and it just barely touched the floor with low heels. The bust has a corset built it so it stayed up and snug. Not to mention I’m 4 months post partum and breastfeeding. So I’ve got some big knockers rn. 

I wore this to the 75th National Book Awards ceremony, and it was a hit. I have large hips, thighs, and a bottom and usually wear a size 14 in jeans, but the 10R was great. I traveled with this dress, and it didn't wrinkle at all. 10/10, I would recommend. 

I loved this dress but I had to adjust the bow a great deal of the night since I’m pretty petite. Otherwise, got lots of compliments and so many women from that night said they would try out RTR. I need a referral fee for all people I refer here 😌😊

The bow is such a chic touch and the velvet is so flattering, I got compliments all night! And the length on it was just perfect! The bow was definitely a bit heavy so it was pulling the dress down with it, but body tape did (somewhat) help. 

Beautiful dress. Received lots of compliments.

I absolutely loved this dress! My mother didn't have a dress for my friend's wedding, so since we wear the same size, I rented this gorgeous dress for her and she stole the show. If I wasn't a bridesmaid, I would've definitely wore this dress!! It hides all imperfections and your boobs sit perfectly 

Perfect! I would size down because of the material. Will say it wasn’t very comfortable to dance in, and was afraid the bow would rip off. Aside from that it’s sooo classy and beautiful 

This dress was perfection! I'm 9months pregnant and for my best friends wedding this dress was comfortable! The silhouette was beautiful as well

the bow is def a little heavy so I used body glue to keep it up so I didn't have to adjust it. i wore 4 inch heels and it was a tiny bit long still. very beautiful dress!!

I have been a fan of RTR for many years but not enough to pull the trigger. I was having a formal birthday dinner and wanted something special. When I ordered this dress I thought the velvet would make the dress heavy which to my surprise was super light weight. I’m fully busted so taking a risk on a strapless dress was a big deal. It didn’t ride down a lot which also made me love it even more. I have an hour glass figure and ordered a 10 and a 12. I ended up going with the 12 just because of the girls. It was big in the waist. Also I’m 5’3” and didn’t have to wear super high heels. Truly after my breast reduction I might buy this dress because that’s how much I loved it. 

I felt like a million bucks in this dress. I got compliments all night on how amazing this dress was. 

Very comfortable material and flattering. My only complaint is that the heavy bow made the top slide down all night, but to me it was worth pulling it up all night for how fabulous it looked!

Top was a bit tight, but the size 8 fit well-I usually wear a 10, def would’ve been too big. Got so many compliments, my fav RTR to date!

Recommend sizing up! I always order a 10R and 12R from RTR, and then usually wear the 10. But with this dress I wore the 12. The bust was very tight, and since the bottom fabric is velvet, I didn’t want the tight silhouette look too unflattering. 

The bow was heavy and caused the top edge to roll down, but I used 3 safety pins to secure it to my strapless bra and had zero issues all night
