Wore this fantastic black dress to a Friday night dinner party on the Upper West Side of NYC. It was elegant and understated yet fabulous all in the same breath. While the rest of the guests were casual, this simple black dress stood out without feeling out of place. It is such a timeless classic it really looks good and could be worn for any occasion. 

As for cut, it is true to size. I take a 0-2 and the 2 was perfect. The fabric is heavy and double lined, so it drapes great and feels luxurious and substantial. The skirt was a bit long on my 5’2” frame but I was able to wear it as a midi-cut pairing it with 3” heels. Also the hemline is a handkerchief cut, shortening the length on the sides and making it feel lighter all around. There is a zipper on both the top and bottom of the back of the dress making getting into it a bit of a challenge. Once on its easy to wear and good for any occasion. 

Definitely recommend!

I felt incredible in this dress. It fit true to size, and was super fun to wear. It’s a great skirt for dancing, too!  

I wore this to a Symphony Gala and loved how comfortable it was for sitting during the show as well as getting around. I have a wider rib cage than many people, so I found that the cutouts puckered a bit more there than I'd prefer, but it wasn't anything that kept me from wearing it. I enjoyed that it had the fun side/back cutouts and varied hem.

Flatttered my body just right. So many compliments

The dress was a little big in the chest area. I'm pretty flat chested so totally understandable!

This dress is amazing, so comfortable and absolutely stunning! Touching it you can tell it’s high quality material and it has a very soft silky inside. I received so many compliments! 

Loved how sexy yet classy this dress was. Thick sturdy fabric, fun flare at the bottom, not too skin tight. Was perfectly appropriate for a black tie optional wedding. Runs small - I normally wear a size 4 but the 6R was perfect (if a tiny bit long)

I'm between a size 4 and 6 so I got one of each. The 4 fit but the 6 fit a little better. I'm 5'4" 130lbs. I got so many compliments on this dress! I felt like a million bucks! It was so comfortable, I didn't want to take it off! 

Beautiful and heavy, zipper of the top is tricky but my husband helped me. This dress was perfect for a cold weather with a long sleeve top or sweater, I love the length, it was perfect 

This dress ended up being a last minute replacement after my first rental didn’t fit and I loved it! It fit perfectly on me and I got a ton of compliments. The only problem is that the zipper on the top part of the dress is really hard to get back on, so I would advise not to unzip the top part completely. Otherwise, I highly recommend this dress! Perfect for a wedding, 

This dress fit so well and was super comfortable to wear all day and to dance in. I got so many compliments. I got the size 6 and 8. The 6 fit, but I was more comfortable in the 8. The quality is great and the material is heavy. It was an outdoor, early August ceremony, and I was very hot in this dress out in the sun but was fine for the shaded cocktail hour and indoor reception. The bottom zipper was fine, but the top zipper was difficult to zip if you end up unzipping it completely. I wore a strapless bra and used a little body tape to keep it from peeking out the bottom of the back. 

This dress is classy and gorgeous, but has a bit of flair with the open back! The perfect look for our engagement photos! Does run a tad small, I’m normally a four and wore the six in this style. 

I really liked this dress! I did not need to wear a bra with it, I danced a lot in this dress, and I was very comfortable the entire time. The only issue I had was that the zipper on the back was a little difficult to mess with at times just when you initially are putting on the item.

This was a great dress for a wedding, the cut out area made it easy to dance, the upper zipper was a bit hard to undo, but over all great dress 

Worn for a New Year’s Eve party. Fit was great, classy with a little flair from the cut outs. I had a great time and felt fantastic all night!

Loved this dress! It was super fun to wear. It was my backup for a wedding to which I wore another dress but I really wanted to wear it too, so I wore it to the brunch the next day. I dressed it down a little with lug sole boots and a jacket. 

Loved the dress fit and received so many compliments! The top zip is a bit weird, you’ll need help. 

Fabulous, fun, and comfortable. Fit well, but a little tight getting on and the top zipper is somewhat tricky to get started. As someone a bit shorter I worried it might drag without heels (outdoor wedding), but it was perfect. Would absolutely recommend. 

I am not normally a size 8. But I’m glad I went up. I am 5’7”, 135, 34DDD and it fit perfect. It could have been a half inch tighter around the torso. Dress is a little heavy, but flows nicely, great for an event. Very sexy. 

So many compliments all night! Sexy but also really comfortable. Would love to rent again! 

This dress was so fun. I like the little cut outs at the side and it fit like a glove

Overall: I loved this dress and felt super confident in it! I got a ton of compliments and had a great time dancing in it. I don't typically wear black at all, but I thought this was fun and moved well!
Length: The length was great, though a bit longer than on the model ha, but did not touch the ground, even when I changed to flats.
Fit: It is definitely tight/runs small - I typically wear a 6 but I wore the 8, and while tight, it was fine. I wore a strapless bra and you couldn't see it. Suggest sizing up!
Seasonality: This is definitely a warmer weather dress, the fabric feels almost like thing suede but it is lined to be smooth and feels good. Especially with the cutouts, I would not wear this if under 60 degrees unless you want to wear a jacket (which IMO defeat the purpose of the dress!).
A side note: You will need help zipping up the top half (there are two zippers due to the cutout) - so just know you'll need a helper!

Fun to wear, comfortable yet very fashionable!! 

I loved this dress!!! In addition to being very cute, it was also comfortable. Fits true to size. Sexy yet classy. I didn't want to send it back!!!!

Nice and sexy feel! Wore for hubbys dinner 

I felt so good in this dress. The cutouts are sexy and tasteful. This dress moves beautifully. (Picture is mid spin)

I felt beautiful and comfortable wearing this dress. The zipper was a little tricky and took me a bit to figure out. Rental process was easy. I would rent this again. 

Runs true to size. Comfortable material make it great for a long night! Still flattering for us small chested ladies! No bra required but a strapless fit nicely. The front cutout won't allow a regular bra. The top zipper had a different mechanism so it definitely requires someone to help you get into the dress! Great dress overall. Lots of compliments - classy but still a little sexy!

I loved everything about this dress! Zipper was tricky, but my husband figured it out;)

I don't have anything bad to say about this dress other than size UP! I'm a natural 34DD (bc it makes a difference) 155lbs, 5,7 and a 6... I had to go WAY up in size due to the reviews and what was available at the time. The fabric is a little thick but not crazy. It's perfect for drinking eating and dancing in excess! It's flattering and comfortable. If I could buy it, I would! Highly recommend 

Loved this dress. I wore it to my birthday dinner at a nice restaurant with my husband - overdressed but felt sexy and great! The top zipper was stuck at first and I was worried I wouldn't be able to wear it at all, but we managed to fix it. Otherwise, everything fit like a glove, no weird fabric bunches. Flared skirt was fun to twirl in!

Love this dress! It was so flattering! Runs small so get a size up! 

I opted to go with the bigger size and i pulled the sides up a little so that i didnt feel like my skin was hanging over. But the dress was classy and comfortable.

I rented this for a holiday party, along with some other dresses, and this was the winner!  The asymmetrical bottom moves beautifully when walking or dancing, the side cut-outs are playful and a little sexy, and the top is great to show the shoulders. I'm a B-cup and didn't wear a bra with this and it was pretty tight, so maybe not ideal for larger busts.

The one very minor annoying thing was the zipper of the top part (there's a zipper for the top part, and a separate zipper for the skirt part), it was a little fiddly. Definitely difficult to do up yourself.

This dress fit in all the right places. My only little concern was I'm a 32DDD and the under boob stressed me out. I was able to pull to tuck everything just right and there were no issues all night. Loved this dress!!!! 

Loved this interesting spin on a little black dress. Easy to move in and dance. Hubs loved it so much he wants me to buy it! 

Im between a 6 and 8 and am glad I went with the 8 in this case. This dress was super easy to wear and very comfy. I wore a backless bra and it worked well. The fabric is thick, but helps shape your curves nicely. Lots of compliments and fun to wear! Perfect LBD.

The dress fit me, but I didn’t feel like the cut out in the back was flattering. I also felt like it didn’t photograph too well. I ended up wearing a different dress for the wedding.

Perfect for a wedding or formal event.  Very comfortable and the skirt is so flowy and fun to move in! My only difficulty was with the top zipper and getting it over my chest. I could have sized up and it would have fit more comfortably! 

I almost always wear a size 6 from RTR and in life.  This size 8 made me feel like a popped can of biscuits. I would not have been able to size up because the top would have been huge but it felt like the middle seam was tighter than it should have been.  The dress quality was amazing and the top and bottom were awesome, the middle just didn't lay like it was supposed to so I could not be comfortable wearing it.

I am 5'3", 144 lbs and 34DDD. I am typically a 6 and ordered a 6 and 8. I ended up wearing the 8. I loved this  dress and I received tons of compliments on it! My only issue was that the top zipper was difficult to zip and I needed someone to come help me with that. Other than that, I wish I could this dress! I felt sexy and classy at the same time. 

Definitely needed Spanx underneath as it showed a my tummy a little (especially when I was full :) ) but it was great! the one thing I didn't love was the layer of fabric underneath the dress. That against the Spanx made it stick and show lines at times. But overall I would have worn it again!
