Beautiful dress. I received a lot of amazing compliments on this dress. But I was super uncomfortable the entire night because the chest was WAYYYYYY TOOO LIGHT! I wear a M and I had to get a Large in this dress. 

I gave it a four star rating for the waist/hip fit and because the dress is so pretty.

So as you can see, it fits really well from the waist and below. However, this is a tough dress for anyone who is above a D. I’m a 34DDD (or maybe a cup more idk) and tbh I’m not even sure if it’s worth sizing up. The zipper stops below my breasts  and I’m wondering if one more size would make it zip up the whole thing. If I go up two sizes instead one one, I’ll lose the fit around my waist. This is perfect for a pair shape. 

This dress was so beautiful in person and the quality was great but the fit was just not right.  

For reference, I am 5 ‘4” and I felt like the cut just didn’t hit me in the right places. I read a lot of reviews that said that the dress was too tight but I had the opposite issue, it was actually quite large.  Wish I would’ve sized down.

I usually wear a 4-6 and this fit me perfect. Stayed up well even though the dress is fairly heavy and strapless. Great material.

Had a little bit of difficulty keeping it up without a bra, so could be a good idea to use stickies or something on the inside of the bodice area. 

I’m a size 4/6 and usually fit a small … I read the other reviews and everyone suggested to size up . I did end up getting a medium and the dress fit beautifully. 

Loved this for a fall wedding - great fit 

I would have loved to wear the xs but it was slightly too tight in the chest. The small was great, but there was a lot of fabric around the mid section. Still loved this dress. 

This gives you a really beautiful hourglass look. I felt so pretty but it was difficult to sit and by the end of the night I felt like I was going to bust out of the seams of this dress. No give at all to the inner lining. It was especially tight on my torso, but the lining is slim and goes to mid-thigh. Extremely thankful I got a medium as a backup. The small would have been impossible. I wore about 2.5 inch heels and the length was right where I wanted it.

i really wanted to love this dress, but it was a hard miss. i thought the material would be more elegant but reminds me of really old curtains.

the bust is pretty big. although it looks decent in the side view where I'm puffing out my chest and holding my breath, once i breathe out the bust area immediately falls down (32B/trying on with strapless bra).

front view isn't as flattering on me as it probably would be with someone who is more busty and is blessed with wider hips. (32b/23w/32h). returning.

I'm usually a medium but for this I had to wear large. The fabric is very comfortable and love the subtle details on the fabric.

This dress did fit a little snug, but overall was an excellent rental! I needed it for a last minute formal event & it worked out perfectly. 

This dress was fabulous. I received so many compliments and loved everything about the details and fit. Wore this for a formal wedding in November and would rent again!

I ordered this dress for a Valentine's Day party. I must tell you, I received so many great compliments.

I am usually a size 10 (large) but had to order a XL in this dress. The XL fitted neat. 

My advice to you is order a size up, if you want to wear this dress.
Other than that, the dress is beautiful. I loved the way it looked on me. Made me feel powerful.

Very classy. Love it. I have a bigger chest and was able to wear this size without a bra which was lovely. I'm 5'4" and wore a 3 inch heel and the dress still dragged a little on the floor. Wore for the nutcracker at a beautiful opera house and felt it was a perfect look. Highly recommend 

The dress runs smalls. I'm normally a 6-8 and ordered the LR. I'm glad I did because there was no extra room in that dress. The beautiful garnet red was perfect for Christmas time. Would rent again. 

I loved this dress! It was more comfortable than I thought it would be based on everyone else's review. I will agree that it is larger in the bust compared to the waist. I wore a medium and was comfortable. I usually wear a size 4 and thought the fit was great. It is such a fun dress, would definitely rent again! 

Wore this for a last minute charity gala that I had 48 hours notice for. So happy with the excellent service I always get from RTW as they were able to overnight this to me. I went by previous reviews that said to size up so I got the medium. I am a regular size 2/4 but with 34DDD. I wish I would have gotten a small. The med was too big and didn't hang well, but nothing I couldn't fix with clipping and pinning. Overall the fabric was beautiful and comfortable . I would rent again in a small

I rented this for a black tie optional wedding in late October and it was just perfect. I thought the deep crimson was great for fall and the thicker fabric was much appreciated as the it was a tad on the chilly side. I was glad I was able to get two sizes because although I thought I would go with the small, I went with the extra small instead. Even so, it was a little long but not a night-ruiner. I received compliments all night! Great option for a formal affair.

Was relieved I ordered a Large as the backup because even the Large was tight! I was pretty uncomfortable for the majority of the night, although it doesn't look tight when on which was a pro. Another pro of the tightness was it stays perfectly put when dancing. I am 5'7" and wore a 2" heel and the longest point of the dress just hovered off the floor.

I rented for a formal wedding and received so many compliments both in person and via social media after. The boning of the dress gives it a gorgeous shape while still allowing you to dance and the texture of the fabric really elevates the look. I considered buying it because I loved it so much and would rent again

Gorgeous thick material, danced in this dress all night. Unique, got many compliments 

I’m 5’10 and 125 lbs and wore the XSR size. It was snug and the material was thick so I didn’t have to wear a bra (I’m a 30D) or spanx!! I loved wearing this, and dancing / twirling in it was fun!!

The material was rich and elegant, I got so many compliments on the evening I wore it. The top was a little snug on the small ( I normally wear 2/4) so had to size up to the medium which the overall fit wasn't as great but was still comfortable. Overall very pleased! 

Fits well but very hippy and accentuating the wrong part 

I ordered a size up based on the reviews. It feels fine when you're standing but as soon as you sit, the boning pinches your torso

The dress was beautiful. Runs a bit small at waist and larger on the bust. 

Fit was good and so was the length. I'm short so it was a little longer than floor length with 3" heels and I loved it. I did fold and stitch the flap at the top so it wasn't so long and I liked the way it looked a lot better. 

Fits perfectly and great for dancing with the drapes 

Loved the top and fit. Slit and ruffles were fun

I absolutely loved this dress, it was my backup dress but I ended up wearing it for my event, which was my office holiday party. There was a little extra room in the bust area, but the dress never fell for me, and I didn't wear a bra. I am on the tall side and I needed to wear heels so that it was not dragging on the ground. I would totally rent again!

It's romantic,  and shows your waistline. I have a small busy so this was flattering and gave me a bit of shape. 

This dress was perfect for the semi-formal wedding I was invited to. It fits to size while standing but it gets tight without being forgiving when sitting. However, I was able to comfortably enjoy lots of dancing! Be aware, I am 6'2 so it looks a little shorter on me. 

I was a bit hesitant about this dress, but ordered anyway for my 2 year anniversary dinner with my boyfriend. I LOVED it, but the Medium was too big on top...and I'm a 30D. I still wore it out for a nice dinner and felt very glamorous and old Hollywood. Wouldn't recommend for a night of dancing.

Fit was perfect, had some stretch which was nice. The flow of the dress was very pretty to watch. Wouldn’t recommend for a dance party, as the leg movement for the dress was slightly minimal. Beautiful overall!
