beautiful color

The open top required (at least for me) a strapless bra which affected the fit a bit; I had to keep fixing the arm. Otherwise it was great, I received so many compliments

Absolutely LOVED this dress, it fit like a glove and I felt great!

The color, fit and style of this dress was amazing! I received so many compliments. It was so comfy to wear and the slit on the dress was perfect. I would highly recommend this little beauty!

Mardi Gras Ball Perfection

This was a stunning dress. I loved the color and it fit like a glove. I did need to change my shoe choice as my 5 inch heals could not have worked for the 8R. I went with a three inch and it was perfect. The dress was very flattering with my hourglass figure. Very comfortable. I thought the high slit would bother me since I have thick thighs but it did not. Perfect pic for the ball and dance!

Comfortable & Formal

Wore this to my husband's military ball. I loved everything about it. I also bought the Stila lipstick (Bacca) that was recommended in another review and it matched perfectly. I'm usually a size 2, but since I ordered last minute I went with a 0 and because the dress is so stretchy and comfortable it worked out great. Sticky bra or pasties are highly recommended due to the neckline and tight nature of the dress!

Very comfortable!

Wore this to a charity gala, it was very comfortable! Definitely heavy and is best for fall or winter. Fabric did have stretch to it, I recommend sizing down. I normally wear a 6/8 and the 4 fit perfectly with room to breathe and move.

Berry Beauty!

This neckline is gorgeous and needs a strapless bra. The description is ruby red but I would call it berry. Great color for Christmas events. I am 5’8 and was concerned with getting a 12R but the length was perfect with 2 inch heels. If I wore again, I might get a size larger because it is form fitting. Slit was higher than I normally wear but it was a fun and beautiful dress.

I wore a size 4 but could’ve went with a size 2. It was a little baggy on my arms. It was comfortable. I wore it to a fall wedding. Overall, I LOVED this dress and got so many compliments!

Beautiful dress

This dress is beautiful. It has some stretch to it, but it’s also made of the type of material that clings to all of your curves. Need to wear some shape wear with it if you’re not into that. The slit is beautiful, it is long enough to wear with heels if you’re tall like me. I wore this for our speakeasy engagement photos and it was pure perfection. It’s definitely more red than pink which I was very pleased with. Would rent again to wear to an actual formal affair if given the chance. It is thick material though so best suited for winter.

Gorgeous!

I wore this to a formal wedding in the mountains in late October and it was a hit! The fabric is thick and it is lined so it was warm in the cold weather. The dress fit perfectly and was just the right length with a short heel. I dressed it up a little bit with a rhinestone chain belt. I received a ton of compliments!

Really elegant and comfortable

The dress was super comfortable. The slit was about mid-thigh and I'm 5'8. The long length was perfect with about 3.5 inch heels. You definitely need seamless undergarments as the material does highlight any imperfections. I would definitely rent it again.

Easy to use and great fit

Very flattering and comfortable dress. The arms on the dress ran a little large. I ordered a 2P but could have used the 0P. I would suggest sizing down one. Overall, I was very happy with the dress and quality! It was perfect for the event I attended.

I felt red carpet worthy in this simple, clean cut, and super sleek style. The fabric is both forgiving and comfortable to sit in. By far one of my favorite RTR dresses yet!

Great simple dress for a holiday party

This was a great dress for a corporate holiday party where the dress code seemed like it was in between cocktail and formal. It’s modest but still has a little oomph with the slit and the asymmetrical neckline. The overall fit was a tad larger than I thought it would be, but it still looked fine. Being 5 ft, the petite size was just a tad too long with ~2 inch heels. It was also a bit loose around the body. The fabric doesn’t really cinch you in, so I still wore some shapewear underneath to smooth out bumps. Not the best rental I’ve had, but it was perfectly fine for what I needed.

Lovely dress, stretchy material

I didn’t choose this dress. It was pretty and super comfortable, but the seam down the front was too noticeable and took away from the look. The 6L was very long. I’m 5’7” and was wearing 5” platform heels in this photo.

Great! You'll need spanx & a strapless (or 1-strap) bra!

Pretty color, not red but more deep pink/plum, can look reddish in photos. Very comfy. Petite length is perfect for me at 5'4" even w/heels. This type of fabric shows the dips in your body, for me it was belly button + toosh. Spanx fixed that easily. I wore a multi-way VS strapless bra with one strap, it worked well. The sleeve length is long though, especially for a petite size. I think they overlooked that when developing the P sizes. So I just folded them under and no one could really tell.

Sleek and form-fitting

Very form-fitting dress. The size and length fit great. I'm 5'3 and close to 130 lbs. I wore 3-inch heels, and the dress just touched the floor. Another reviewer left a recommendation for a Stila lipstick that matched the dress, and she was right. It was the exact color of the dress. Although this dress is pretty, it's not a WOW dress; it's simple and functional. You can wear closed and open-toe shoes in almost any color. I opted for nude to make the dress color pop more.

Great length for 5'10 girls with 2.5 inch heels but overall fit slightly off

Pretty color, great length (got the long), but the fit in the chest and abdomen area was slightly off. Slightly bigger in chest and shoulders and then tight on the abdomen area, so not super flattering in my opinion. I didn't end up wearing because I liked another rental better.
