This dress is amazing! It fit perfectly and I received so many compliments! 

Dress fit perfectly and was very comfortable.  I was able to wear a covertible bra with one strap. The length was just right with a 4P. I'm 5'3" but wore 3" heels and I still did not trip on the dress when I switched over to flip flops later in the evening. Loved this dress!

I loved this dress!  It was so beautiful, comfortable, and classic. I received so many compliments.  And it was my backup!  I typically wear a 2-4 in dresses and this was a 4P. I’m 5’4”, so the length with my heals was perfect.  I paired the dress with my pearls and a simple French twist for hair.  Lovely dress!

I wore this with 1" wedges and the length was perfect (I'm 5'5") and I was able to dance all night in comfort without tripping. I added a thin red belt and accessorized it with a red pashmina, statement gold & black earrings, a gold cuff from RTR and a black and gold clutch. Got compliments ALL night. The dress was beautiful and draped gorgeously...

The dress was amazing ! This was the first time for RTR. I usually have a difficult time finding a good fit in dresses, so i was a little concerned getting one...in the mail. There was only the 12L ( no 14L ) so i went with it. It was perfect. True to size. Very comfortable. I felt like Cinderella at the Ball. Many compliments... but most of all, I felt good in it. I had a great phone representative. I explained to her that I had breast cancer, with surgery scars. That needed to be considered in picking a dress. This was one of the dresses she assisted me with. I rented the earrings on the model. Loved them !!!! Great experience. Will RTR again.

I was afraid of the dress being too long since I don't like big heels and many reviews mentioned wearing high ones.  Ultimately I should have gotten the long option.  It was a little too short. 

I would definitely recommend a long in this dress if you're 5'6" or taller and planning to wear heels. Gorgeous dress. And comfortable. 

It fit true to size and hugged my curves. The length was perfect for me with 4" heels.

I originally ordered the dress in a 6 in navy blue and they didn't have the 4 available for a backup. As soon as I tried it on and realized it was too big and I called RTR to ask if a 4 had become available. The 4 in blue wasn't available but they over-nighted the black and red options (I just had to pay shipping! They are awesome!) and they both fit perfectly. I wore 4 inch heels and the length was absolutely perfect! I could not believe how well the dress fit with no alterations- not an easy thing for someone who is 5'3! I didn't even have to wear a bra. The dress is super comfortable and very flattering. The only negative thing was having to send it back! I was sad when the event was over because the dress is so beautiful it really makes you feel stunning. 

This dress was a perfect fit. I thought I would need the 4 but it was too large on on the top. The 2R was perfect. I wore a pump with this dress and it was the perfect length for me, once I changed to flats for dancing until 5am, i did drag a bit on the floor but it didn't keep me from dancing the night away! 

I ordered this for a black tie charity gala and this dress was perfect! The heavy crepe hung perfectly and skimmed my body. I probably needed the OL since the 2L was loose on my waist and hips, but it wasn't available. I felt comfortable, perfectly dressed and classy all night. This was my first RTR and I'll definitely be back!

This dress is very forgiving. It was incredibly comfortable and gorgeous. I loved looking beautiful and being comfortable at the same time. Some reviewers have noted that it runs short. I'm a solid 5'6" and wore a 1.5 in Nina heel. Frankly, I loved not needing a super high heel, but if you like a taller heel you may want to consider the longer version of this dress. 

Very happy I ordered the tall! Would have been too short otherwise with 3" shoes.

This is the perfect material - heavy enough that it hangs well and skims your curves where needed. I ordered the regular length rather than the long because I usually do not wear super high heels, but it was almost too short. Thankfully, I had some kitten heels that worked well. I loved the fanned-out flounce of the skirt at the bottom. It is an amazing dress that I'll come back to if I have the opportunity again.

I rented both the 2R and the 4R not sure which one would fit better. The 2R fit perfectly! The length was right on top of my feet so it was perfect with 3" heels. Definitely a form fitting dress, but the fabric is heavy enough so the dress doesn't cling to your body. Very comfortable dress! I would definitely rent it again! 

I ordered the 2L and 4L. I wore the 2L. Perfect fit.  I normally wear a size 4.  The length was perfect with my 3" heels.  

The 14 and 16 ran close in size but the 14 was VERY short. I'm 5'4 and it was too short. The fit was great, forgiving material and very comfortable. I would highly recommend it! 

The dress hit in exactly the right places! I usually wear an 8 or 10, but I ordered an 8 and 6 because I saw the reviews. I ended up wearing the 6 and it fit perfectly! I definitely recommend going down at least one size because it does run big! The material is nice because it is flattering. It is fully lined, so it might be a little warm if it is summertime. 

Wore this to a black tie wedding, dress ran a bit big but I was pleased with it overall. Classic, classy, and elegant. I would recommend it!
