I’ve worn Chiara dresses before and have never been disappointed. Had a similar experience with this dress.  It hugs in all the right places and sucks you in well.  I agree with the other comments about the shoulders, it’s hard to get those right. Also you can’t really wear a bar, but jt has build in cups.  Worked great for the event I went to! Strongly recommend 

This brand continues to knock it out of the park! I was very comfortable in the size 4 (I am usually a 4 on top and 6 on bottom), and the dress has a decent amount of stretch in it. Thank goodness because there’s no zipper! I have a 27” waist and 39” hips. The color is amazing, and is actually slightly cooler than it reads in this photo; it’s more of a wine red than a burgundy. If you follow color season analysis, I’m a Soft Summer and this was a great color for me. It has built in cups and I felt overall very supported even with a 30DD size. The only thing I wish I had done differently was use a little fashion tape on the sleeves at the shoulders. I had to keep my arms held out ever so slightly to keep the off-shoulder design from falling down. This was not an issue at all during most of the night, but it became more noticeable when dancing! But if I pulled the ‘sleeves’ up onto my shoulders, the back looked a little strange. So tape would have helped me. All in all, I would not hesitate to rent this again, and recommend it to others. It is a head-turner for sure, and you should be prepared for compliments! 

i wore this dress for a gala and got so many compliments! 

Made of a thick spandex-like material which meant not much of a need for shape wear. No zippers and enough stretch for a great fit. Shoulder folds are adjustable to preference 

THE PERFECT DRESS! Comfortable and absolutely gorgeous. The arms rode up slightly through the night or when posing for photos with hand on hip (see photo) but other than that the neckline is stunning. A little hard to dance in because of the shoulders but that is no fault of the dress itself, just the style! Quality is amazing.  

Easy fit but a bit awkward on top. Overall classy, elegant and comfortable 

The top was very baggy. I actually preferred the way the 8 fit on my body, but the top gaped and drooped, so I wore the 6. Even so, I had to keep tugging on the top and I couldn't get the sleeves to fit symmetrically. Otherwise stretchy and comfortable, but I won't rent again.

Ughhh from the front this dress felt great but I had to tape it in a million places and it still didn’t sit well on the arms and back

I rented the 8R (my typical size) and sized down to the 6R for my 2nd choice. My torso is slimmer than my hips so the 8R was falling down. The 6R felt a bit snug in the hips, but al least the top half wasn’t loose. So I wore the 6R and thought it looked very classy and elegant. But I did keep pulling the skirt down when I stood up. Which meant the top part pulled down too.
It was a bit high maintenance if you are sitting/standing a lot. 

Deep red, would be good for Christmas also. I wore for a fall (October) evening ball gala. The top is a little hard to figure out at first and I found myself fidgeting with it a lot other wise I would rate it higher. And I needed it to be tighter in the chest some. I was able to go without a bra, it has a built in bra 

This dress was way too large, offered no support in the chest and the top kept falling down. I would have had to use a whole roll of fashion tape to keep it in place. The one positive note is that the material was very stretchy so could be comfortable for the right body type. 

Fabric is very giving, comfortable and flattering

Really loved this dress. Wore to a black tie wedding. So comfortable and flattered. Typically wear a 6 but it was unavailable - 4R was perfect. 

If you are smaller-chested you might have to wear a bra for it to fit best, but the fabric is luxurious and thick so it's very flattering and hugs in all the right places

Your review is clear and informative! Here’s a slightly refined version for better flow and readability:

The dress is a beautiful color—perfect for a Valentine’s wedding. I usually wear a size 2 but sized up to a 4 due to my bust (34DD). The fit was perfect on the bottom half but too tight across the bust. If you’re okay with a more revealing look, it might work, but for this wedding, it felt like a bit much. Might be better suited for a different venue or occasion (or other guests) Had to choose a different gown. 

This dress is gorgeous! Perfect balance of sexy yet elegant—the off the shoulder look is so pretty

Finally a maker that realizes that zippers are not needed. 

Expensive fabric with good stretch. Hugs curves beautifully. Tricky to wear with a bra if you are larger chested but really pretty. Needs some fashion tape to hold the shoulders in the right places.

I've never missed with this brand.  I probably should have gotten a smaller size because i was always tugging it up.  If you're tall you will need a long.

This dress was very comfortable to wear and incredibly flattering.  My only complaint is that the smaller size was super long and I had no way of hemming the dress.  I thought RTR sent fashion tape for that purpose but there wasn’t any in my bag.  That is my only reason for 4 vs 5 stars.  This was perfect for my formal event.  

Felt frumpy in it and the fabric is heavy. Didn’t wear to event. 😩

Didn’t wear it. The sleeves kept falling down and the seams puckered in odd places. It was tight on my bottom half but way too loose at the top. 

This dress was beautiful but way too long and the top was slipping down my arms.
