Loved the color, great fit, would wear again! 

Really enjoyed this dress. Pros: it gives nearly everyone an hourglass shape, the fabric is a thick knit so holds things in well. Cons: this runs small so size up (I wore my regular size because I didn't get a backup size and it was SNUG), the sleeves cause T-Rex like arms as others have said. If you won't be raising arms much and are ok with a very form fitting dress, rent this!

This dress was EXACTLY the vibe I was going for with my sister's wedding; sexy yet conservative, classic. It made me look like I hadn't popped out 3 kids in the past 4 years, and like I still have my act together (good one dress, we fooled them all!). All that said, I definitely had to be sausaged into it and I couldn't move at all whole I was wearing it. Opted to change into a different dresses for the reception. T-Rex arms and an inability to open my legs more than 1 foot in any direction were the biggest challenges. So you have to decide if it's worth it for you. 

I absolutely loved this dress and got a million compliments throughout the night!! It definitely runs small ! I am an 8-10 usually and I ended up wearing a 12 based on reviews and it was still tight.  So size up! Loved it and definitely plan to rent it again. 
I’m 5’9 and about 150lbs 

I did love this dress, I think it is very flattering on curvy frames. It runs VERY small. I went on the cinq à sept website to see the size chart and measured as a 4, I ordered a 6 based on people's comments about it being too small and I really needed an 8. I've never been more uncomfortable in a dress, I couldn't move and had to be zipped in and out of it as the arms are restrictive. If you are pear or hourglass shaped I would recommend ordering 1 size up from the size chart and order 2 sizes up as a back up. On the plus side the fabric does have some stretch, so I was still able to wear the 6 without ripping it, just wasn't able to move easily. 

Loved the grip on the shoulders to keep the dress in place. I have never worn this style of a dress before, I was happily surprised! 

This does run very small. I wore one size up but I could have been more comfortable with a size 10. I did move comfortably in it. I love the silhouette and the thick stretch of this dress. 

Material was thick, and cut was lovely. Had wiggle room in the mid section, but was snug in the rear and very snug around biceps. I could not lift my arms up. Overall, glad I chose for a winter wedding, and wish I could keep it. 

This dress made me feel like a million bucks. It hugs in all the right places.  You will have T-Rex arms and bathroom trips are difficult but it is definitely worth it.  I wish I could've kept the dress! I got so many compliments!

Pros: Gorgeous dress – everyone complimented it.  Great, thick, fabric for the winter time.  I was able to wear a strapless bra underneath.  Additionally, since I am 5’9”, I was worried about the length but it was perfect, right below the knee.

Cons: I would not recommend this dress for a wedding or an event that may include dancing because the dress is very restrictive in movement.  I had difficulty going up stairs, bending down to pick things up, lifting my arms, and hugging people at my company holiday party.  However, it was fine for a short sit-down dinner event.

Fit small, usually a 2 or 4. Wore the size 6. So many compliments:)

Loved how well it fit esp with the top not slipping down as I am a B cup.  Only con about it, just as the other reviews said, was that I could not raise arms.  

I chose this dress for a recent November wedding and it was perfect! Beautiful Navy color. Nice thick fabric without being too hot. Like all other reviews, this dress runs so small! Order 1 or two sizes up. My boobs were a little smushed. I'm short and the tea length was still fine for me. The dress has a stunning neckline and created some curves for me that I swear aren't normally there lol. It was hard to raise your arms but that shouldn't be a surprise and I loved it regardless! Would definitely recommend.

This dress ran pretty small but once I got myself stuffed into it, I felt awesome. My boyfriend had to help me zip it up and it was A Process but I think it was worth it. 

Was really happy with this dress. The fit was snug and form fitting, with enough room to still have fun on the dance floor. The stretch made it comfortable to wear throughout the night.

The fit was as expected - very form fitting but structured and well made so it still looked classy.  The only, (and very minor) thing to note is that the arms are a little tight.  

The absolute perfect, classic dress! I received so many compliments! I normally wear a size 2/4, but this dress runs small, and I couldn't get the 4 up over my hips. Size 6 fit great, and I still had wiggle room to dance. When renting, size up, and get the second dress 2 sizes up just in case. 

I got so many compliments in this dress. It does run small. I'm usually a 2 and ordered a 4 based on reviews. It did get annoying towards the end of the night bc of the sleeves. I was like t-Rex trying to grab things but it was manageable. 

The fit was fair. The dress came sooo long. I used fashion tape to hem the dress about 6 inches. The material is thick so you feel secure in it but runs the risk of making you looked squished inside. I'm a 32D, without a bra, my boobs were squished flat and up to my chin, with a bra the dress felt even tighter. I chose to wear the bra since long flat boob was not my favorite look.  The sleeves were very tight. All the comments about not being able to use your arms, SO TRUE. My fiance called me T-Rex all night. 

It was conservative and sexy. The top was tight and the lower section was very loose so not ideal. However, it was last minute and I couldn't be happier with the choice. I would wear it again but I wouldn't buy it. 

I absolutely loved this stress. Received a ton of compliments. Perfect dress for a Fall wedding. Very elegant and just the right amount of sexiness. The dress was very fitted, so I would recommend trying out two sizes.  I am normally a size 0, but wore the size 2. I would highly recommend, especially for petite women. 

This dress was one of my favorite RTR looks.  It is very very tight.  I suggest sizing up, especially if you have larger arms. I wear an 8 and this 8 fit like a glove. I was comfortable but couldn't throw my arms up on the dance floor.  Everyone loved it and I received so many complements. It's definitely a dress to wear for the look... not so much the comfort level!  

It was perfectly tight for my body, didn’t have problems with the sleeves falling down. I absolutely loved it and it made me feel like royalty!!! I want to buy it because it’s a dress you can wear for multiple events not just once. 

This is a great dress. Very well made, heavy material. Snug fit without being too tight. I am 5'10" and typically have issues with the waist being too high. If I had to complain about anything, it would be the lack of range of motion (felt like a t-Rex most of the night). However, I would definitely wear it again. 

Hmm where do I start? This dress had great potential but you need to size up 1-2 sizes and if you've got a large bum, definitely 2 sizes up! The sleeves are tight so if you like to dance at a wedding this is NOT the dress for you. I felt extremely sexy but I was so uncomfortable that I changed before the reception. Why? Cause I couldn't lift the dress up to go the bathroom, the dress was cutting off circulation to my arms, and I was constantly adjusting the top where the non slip grips were on the dress. I'm sure if you sizes right it could be great but don't plan on lifting your arms up without needing to readjust everything. 

Beautiful elegant dress. Compliments your body if you have a curvy shape. I received compliments all night. The dress ran 2-3 sizes small; I'm usually size 6 or 8 and I wore the size 12. Also, it's made for smaller bust, I'm a 34E and it was a very close to not fitting and the sleeves also ran small. However, overall I loved the dress very well made thick material.  I'm 5'4 153lbs. 

I’m usually a size 4, but I couldn’t zip that one up . The size 6 fit tight, but I didn’t have to wear a bra and it held the girls in place. It fit perfectly and it gave me a nice hour glass figure. Loved that I could get a backup size 

This is a beautiful dress. It was true to size and flattering (in my opinion) Be sure to have fashion tape for the size 6. The top portion is supposed to "stick" to your chest, but it has been worn out. (The size 4 was fine) I had to "favor" fashion tape to a wedding, so be prepared! 

I felt so beautiful in this dress. It's a super fitted so I sized up to an 8. I am normally a 6. Based on the reviews I read prior to renting... I'm happy i sized up. It hugged my curves just right and made my boobs look good too! Haha ... the length was just past my knees. I love love loved this dress!

Hugged every single curve. Skipped the bra and wore pasties for cover + hygiene instead. Accomodates spanx. Incredibly fitted but still manages to be comfortable and compact. Usually wear a 6 in a dress but I absolutely sized up for this one. Hits past the knee. So classic and not too busty. 

Overall fit was nice! Lots of compliments. Definitely very snug—would not recommend eating big meals or trying to walk quickly while wearing this dress!

I wore this dress for a wedding. It was absolutely beautiful and form fitting. I received tons of compliments all night long! It was exactly what I was looking for. 

I rented this dress to wear to an evening wedding that was cocktail attire. I got two sizes - a 0 and 2. I'm normally a 0 but this 0 was SO TIGHT. Definitely order a size up. Even the 2 felt a bit snug. 

Pros: very sexy and body hugging. I got tons of compliments all night 

Cons: I could not get this dress on by myself. Thank god my sister was there to help me! I could not move my arms to dance at the reception so I was somewhat robot like. Going to the bathroom was also a challenge, it was hard to lift up and pull back down.

Tough call on whether I'd rent this again - it was a lot of "maintenance" to wear. 

Loved this dress even though it was a tight fit. The good thing was I didn’t have to worry about wearing a bra! Very simple, elegant and classy. 

I fell in love with this dress because it was sexy without screaming for attention. It is a very classy dress. I read every review before I made my purchase....it does run small! I typically am a size 0 (5'5" - 114 lbs). Most RTR size 0 dresses are loose on me so I ordered the 0 and the 2. I wore the 2 but the 4 would have been better. This dress is super tight. Every time I dropped something my husband had to grab it for me. I had difficulty trying to grab my phone off of the table while standing! Arms are restricted and boobs will be squished and I barely have any. I recommend sizing up and then getting your back up two  sizes bigger just in case. (Ie: if you're a 6, order an 8 AND 10) especially if you have wide hips or a larger backside. Gorgeous dress. You can't go wrong. The navy does feel nearly black if your skin is on the browner side. Great thing: the dress comes in teal too! 

I am a 34DD and wasn't able to zip the size 6. The dress doesn't have a lot of stretch to it. Beautiful fabric and design, just needed the 8 which had been unavailable. 

Maybe the most flattering dress I've ever worn! So many compliments all night long. Without a doubt the tightest dress I've ever had on my body and I could not move my arms at all, but completely worth it!

Perfect for a fall wedding! Super flattering with the thick stretchy material, hugs the curves!! Got tons of compliments. Only thing to take note is the sleeves do restrict movement as does the dress skirt since its column and tight so take that into account if you plan on doing a ton of dancing! 

This runs small, so I'd order at least one size up. You can't really raise your arms in it but for me that wasn't an issue. I felt amazing in it, it really hugs your curves. It's also great if you're small-chested. I had to have some help getting in and out of it.

Perfect dress that's form-fitting yet classy. The material pulls you in and pushes you up in all the right places no spanx or push-up bra required!
