Size up because this dress fits like a glove.

I am so glad this dress fit due to being larger in the bust area. The dress fit like a glove. It was snug through the legs so using stairs or getting into the car was a bit of a challenge. I did get some nice compliments on the dress.

Lovely, easy, comfortable dress

This dress was very comfortable. The bodice was lined so a bra wasn’t necessary. Just dressy enough for a wedding. Easy to dance in. The material is an embroidered overlay which I received many compliments on.

This dress is beautiful, unique and comfortable!

I'm very tall (6'1) and with a fairly straight body type, but you can see, the cut of this dress creates nice curves - very flattering.

It was a glamorous holiday dinner party. I felt gorgeous in this RTR dress.

I loved the quality of these materials. It is beautifully made. This fit well except that the sheath looked wrinkly over the chest/shoulders at time depending on how I stood/sat.

Great dress for the holidays!

I wore this dress to the office as I had a nice lunch out and an evening event. With a jacket or sweater, it was perfect for the office. The sheer top makes it great for a nice event - especially during the holidays. I got a 4 to fit my 21 week pregnant bump (132 lbs) and it fit great! Fits well along the body and fitted in hips without being too tight. A friend said I should buy this dress. A great rental!

Beautifully embroidered, conservative dress. Fits true to size. No stretch. Built-in bra cups.

This is a beautifully embroidered, conservative dress. I rented my usual size 10 (for reference, I am 5'8", 154 lbs, 36C) and it fit me like a glove. There is zero stretch in the material and it's a bit tight at the shoulders. Also a bit tight when sitting down. This dress nicely highlights my hourglass figure. The embroidery reminds me of Japanese cherry blossoms, so I added my own black leather obi belt (which also nicely covered the horizontal seam at the waist). I wore the dress without a bra since it comes with built-in padded bra cups (but no push-up action). At 5'8", the dress ended right at my knees.

Great cocktail dress

I wore this to an awards show and after party. It is almost true to size - slightly small. Also a bit tight on the bottom around the hem, making it slightly difficult to walk in at times. The fabric is not stretchy. Overall a very pretty dress though. I would rent it again.

Beautiful detail & fit!

I wore this for an evening award event at work. It was perfect! Conservative but also very flattering. The embroidery was so beautiful. It was true to size and hit right at my knee. It was a little tight at the bottom so I had to be careful going up stairs but that was only one small negative. This is probably my favorite dress I have ever rented, wish I could have kept it!

Pretty floral!

The floral print embroidery reminds me of cherry blossoms. It was comfortable and I got a lot of compliments. I just wore it for work. I did notice the sleeves limited my range of motion raising my arms over my head.. but it wasn't a big deal. Fit - I am 5'6", 36c, 155 and I felt it ran true to size. I wore an 8.

Beautiful, elegant gown

This dress was easy to wear, fit was perfect and with the built in support I didn't need a bra (I am a DD cup so I was surprised). Elegant dress felt just right for the occasion. I would also wear to a dressy work event and may rent this one again.

Botanical Garden Holiday Party

I was 5 months pregnant when I wore this to my hubby's holiday party and it fit great over my growing bump. Received a lot of compliments because of the beautiful design. If not for my chest being a bit tight (prego and all), it would be even better but otherwise it was great!!

I rented this dress for my MBA graduation ceremony and dinner afterwards, totally worth it!

I usually wear a size 6 but I ended it up wearing the 8, because the fabric is a little tight but it makes a really nice silhouette. I loved the way I looked on it.

Perfect for an office holiday party

True to size, the bottom is a bit tight where the dress ends but not very restrictive could definitely still dance with no problem! I loved the netting up top and the flowers are beautifully crafted. I paired it with black tights, black wedges, and a black wrap for an evening look. Would rent again in a heart beat!

This is a gorgeous dress and I felt fabulous wearing it. I have muscular arms and I had to wear a 6 rather than a 4 because the arms are quite tight on me.

Beautiful details, amazing dress!

I rented this dress for a New Year's Eve Party and it was a huge hit. I really fits true to size, and I felt very beautiful in it. The skirt does limit how fast you can walk, but the built in bra was a huge bonus. I got so many compliments! Highly recommended.

A beautiful Christmas Dress

The dress was stunning. I received compliments all evening long. I did find it to be tight through the hips. I normally wear an 8 and was happy that I sized up for my backup. I ended up wearing the 10 as I felt it allowed more movement and comfort.

Perfect fit!

This dress is super classy and fit like a glove. I wore this for an Xmas eve party and got compliments galore! Be aware, however, that if you have to walk up stairs, you will have a hard time doing so in this dress unless you tug it up over your knees. It's VERY snug at the knees. No big steps in this dress!

I absolutely loved this dress! I received so many compliments on it!

This dress fit like a glove. It was a bit narrow around the knees, so going up stairs was a bit of a challenge, but other than that, it was perfect! I wore it to a corporate, holiday party and felt it was elegant enough for the event but not over the top. The embroidery on it was so beautiful!

Classy & Festive

This dress fit like a glove and totally shows off your curve in a classy way. I got a ton of compliments. The only thing to note is it's narrow around the knees so it was hard for me to step into an SUV. I had to sit and swing my legs together...in a very lady-like way so it's not so bad :)

What a great dress! I wore it for my parents 50th wedding anniversary party and the next weekend for my company holiday party... I love it so much, I hope I have another event to wear it to again!! Sizing was true to size and very flattering length. Love it!!
