The fit was amazing and perfect for a cocktail affair.   I would also recommend for travel, the fabric has a great weight and does not wrinkle easily.  Great for evenings.

True to size; heavy but comfortable. Now detail gives it a classy look!

My daughter picked this dress out to match hers for our night out at The Nutcracker.  It was perfect and even twirled (felt like a little girl myself).  50s housewife adorbs!  I'm a 34B and it was tight on the top - not for large chested ladies! 

I like the dress a ton. However, the 6 was a bit tight at the chest to the point I didn't want to fully clasp the dress as it was uncomfortable. Everything else including the waist and bodice region fit great. Not built for a girl with back muscles. Still wore it though! Loved it!

Fit true to size. The dress itself is a bit heavy because of the material, but it looked gorgeous for a fall wedding.

I've used RTR multiple times and have never had a bad experience. Unfortunately, this was not the best. Upon getting the dress, I realized that RTR did not send my back up size 4, but instead a totally different outfit in a size 2! Luckily the size 6 fit perfectly. A very elegant, simple black dress. The off-centered bow took some getting used to, but it actually made the dress more interesting. Loved the flowy skirt and strapless design. The fabric was very thick (perfect for a fall day in Chicago), but it cannot take pins or brooches! My biggest issue was that I did not feel like the dress was fully dry cleaned. There were a lot of bumps and folds in the dress that should have been removed with a steaming, and we're very visible due to the reflective fabric.  I would probably purchase this dress for myself, but not the best rental experience. (still plan to rent again for Christmas though!)

It is VERY tight in the bust, and needed a couple stitches to keep the bow in place. But, it moves so beautifully!!! Can't tell you how many compliments I received!!! 

I rented this for my engagement shoot, and was not disappointed! It was very classy and flowy in our photos. The fabric was a little heavy and a bit long on me, but I didn't mind. The only thing I wasn't wowed with was the bow in the front, it kept folding over. I was very happy with the photos in this dress! 

Fit was great, had gotten size 6 which I usually wear but needed just a bit more room in the bodice.  The zipper in the size 8 was sticky but got it to work!  The size 6 zipper did go up better but more comfortable in the 8.   Fabric was amazing, would rent again!

I was so in love with this dress from the moment I put it on. It ran true to size and fit perfectly! The dress made me feel so elegant and confident. It was easy to move around and dance in, which was so nice! I got compliments all night at the event and the following day on social media. I was told that I looked like Audrey Hepburn! 

This dress was wonderful! Its on the heavier side so it kept me warm in a cold room. Soft to the touch and the bow at the top just added a little something extra. Fit true to size and i had a little extra room which is always helpful for all the dancing! Received many compliments at thr wedding, would def wear again 

Loved this dress! Kept getting compliments from friends and strangers all night long. It was a very comfortable dress, but the top was a bit tight. That was one of the only times I was thankful that I don't have big boobs because it didnt bug me too much. LOL! The tea-length made it a more fun and flirty LBD!

First time doing RtR, and what a pleasure of an experience. The shopping process was so simple, and as someone who goes between sizes, the 2nd-size-for-free was perfect. I received tons of compliments on my dress, and loved wearing it. The bodice was very fitted, so may not be as true to size for ladies with more curves up top. 

I was so nervous bc I really wanted this dress but the only available size was a 10, being 3 months pregnant I didn't think it was happening! It was a little tough to zipper but with some help it went up and stayed up!! The material is very heavy but I didn't have to constantly pull it up all night. The dress was beautiful and comfortable ..got tons of compliments!

I felt so elegant in this dress! The fit was perfect and not too snug. I got compliments on it all night. The dress itself weighs a lot, so it might not work for an occasion outdoors in the summer (or where there's lots of dancing), but in the fall/winter or for an indoor event it's fine.

I really liked this dress- fit true to size, fabric was thick enough and was definitely snug enough to go bra-less and still feel secure, comfortable to wear as well. I got many compliments and felt very glamorous. Form fitting on top through the natural waist- so deep breaths weren't happening. 

This dress is great for pear shape to accentuate the waist while hiding some curves:)

I wear a ten and the back at zipper was too tight. Wore the 12 and was lost in the shape of the dress. 

This dress fit true to size and looked beautiful.  It was very flattering, the fabric was heavy and rich.  I loved the length too.

I love this dress. Didn't wrinkle, great material. Only concern is that it's very snug on top, so beware! 

This dress was my #4 back up dress, and last chance for my brother-in-law's black tie wedding. Don't ask-RTR was not having a good day-but it saved the day! It was made of a very heavy fabric, but I liked it since that meant it didn't need to steamed, and stayed perfect all night. The top fit me great, and it had no slip lining in the bodice to prevent slipping. I can't say enough about how beautiful this dress ended up looking on me. I've never received so many compliments in my life! It was much longer on me than on the model, and hit me at just above the ankle. It was surprisingly warm, which was good since it was freezing at the wedding I went to. I loved it and felt super classy in it. 

This dress fit perfectly and looked great. I loved the length, because it's flattering without making me feel self-conscious about bending or kneeling down. The only problem with it is that it has some "bones" on the torso which dug into my lower ribs a bit. It wasn't terrible and was completely worth it for two performances. But if I had to wear it for more than a few hours, it might have been too uncomfortable. LOVED this dress.

I opted to wear the 2 without a bra over the 4 which would be a little more roomy. I LOVED wearing this dress. I feel super posh, and didn't want to take it off. I'm small on top and the boning and architecture of the bow really made the bodice look just right.

It was a little tight at the top, but fitted well. I expected the material to look more satin like it does in the photo, but the fabric is really thick and warm! Will be great for winter events! The dress looks a longer in my photo because I'm wearing shorter heels, but overall I love it! Makes me feel like Grace Kelly!
