I absolutely loved this dress for a post-New Years wedding! Everyone complimented how pretty it was throughout the evening. The only reason I rated it a 4 vs 5 is because under the arms became a bit itchy when dancing, otherwise GREAT dress!

Loved this dress so much wore it to three different weddings this year. The ML is perfect with 3 inch heels or platform shoes / the MR is the right length for flats (I am 5’7”) highly recommend 

Very nice material and received many compliments.

I was hoping the sequins would pop a bit more against the black, but they look like cheap appliqués up close. The bust was not supportive, so I wore Cakes, but the SR fit my frame otherwise. At only 5’4” I do appreciate that it was short enough that a 3” heel was enough to lift it just off the ground. There are no pockets, which is always sad. It was fine for the occasion (black tie wedding), but was not memorable in any way.

Gorgeous dress I wore to a black tie optional wedding. So elegant and flattering. Lots of compliments and I felt so good in it.

I would say it’s cut small, I’m a 12/14 but that was too small but the 16-18 fit like a glove.

The sequins rubbed my arms by the end of the night but not a huge deal, worth it for this dress.

This is a super gorgeous dress! Rented for a charity gala. The sequin pattern are little flowers that are kind of gold tone and lavender. I wore nude heels and black and gold pearl earrings. 

I normally wear between a 10 and 12, and I probably could have fit in a medium or large. I am glad I went with the large. You could wear it with a bra if you have a plunge one, but I tried it with a Simon Perele lace one, and you could see it at the bust just a little bit. So, I wore it without one, and it was fine. If you have a very heavy bustline, you should be able to get away with wearing a regular bra if you need it. Be aware that the straps are not adjustable.

It was flattering on my hourglass figure and comfortable to sit and dance in. The sequins under the arms were a little bit scratchy, but not so much that it drove me crazy all night. I am 5 foot five, and you can see that it just hit the top of my shoes. I liked that the waistline is kind of higher so it cinches around the rib cage and has a full, tiered skirt, so I didn’t have to wear ridiculous spanx but you could still tell that I have a little waist. I found it very flattering. I would definitely recommend renting it, and will probably rent it again.

I’m 5’8” and with heels, I definitely needed the long and not the regular length. I am a 32C and was able to go bra-less comfortably and fill out the top. The sequins were a bit itchy under the arms and it was definitely snug, but nothing too bad for a one night wear. I got lots of compliments and felt great in this dress at a formal wedding! 

Very comfy! Great for black tie wedding. 5’4 and hit the ground wearing heels, doesn’t run long at all. Runs a little small in the chest so sized up to a medium (typically a small, 4/6)

I am obsessed with this dress and received so many compliments. Highly recommend and plan to rent again for future formal events. I am between sizes (small and Medium) and own a similar dress by DTP in a medium. I ordered the small as a backup size and could barely get it over my hips, so would probably order your backup in a size up if you’re in between sizes. 

Loved the fit of this dress for a fall black tie beach wedding. Got tons of compliments on the dress and the fit was perfect. 

This dress is absolutely stunning! I felt so beautiful. I wore this as a guest to a black-tie wedding. The pictures do not do it justice. The large worked best for me. I was able to wear this without a bra with the help of some fashion tape. The zipper can be tricky so make sure you have someone to help you! 

Oh my GODDDD this dress was my favorite dress I've rented from RTR. I went with the size higher to give room for the girls and curves and it fit like a GLOVE. Only downside was the sequence but right through because it worth it...

This is by far the prettiest dress I have ever worn (besides my wedding dress) and it fit like a glove! I’m on the shorter side and the length was PERFECT for me, which is hard to find! I wore it to a wedding and received so many compliments on it. Will definitely look into renting again for the next wedding I attend. 

I have never felt more glamorous in a dress. It was so fun and fit great. Downside is the arms do get a little scratched for the sequins - but worth it for this dress. 

Wore to a black tie wedding and got so many compliments. All the bridesmaids told me i looked amazing and the grandmother of the bride pulled me aside to ask where i got it. The sequins are so gorgeous and show that the dress is high quality. Fits in the chest so nicely for my small/medium girls. Will be renting dresses for all my weddings now

I love this dress! As a short gal, it’s so hard to find dresses that aren’t too long for me but the length of this was perfect with heels. It fit perfectly on me & felt really classy for a black tie affair. It has so many sequins which I love.

Loved wearing this dress, perfect for a wedding guest dress! It was slightly tight, but not uncomfortable and I liked how it cinched me in! It wasn’t itchy at all and it was a perfect length so I could switch to flats at the end of the night!

Perfect fit! I wore this for a formal wedding and got so many compliments! I am rather short and the length was perfect with a pair of medium heels. The sequins on the side did scratch my inner arms a little bit at first but it was not a big deal over all 

My measurements are 5'5", 152.2 lbs, 36B, waist 37" and right below my bra line is 31".  I didn't need to wear a bra.  I provided the right below the bra line because I would have had to gone up a size, if I was any bigger.  There is no give there.  Dress looks so much better in person than photograph.  

I didn't expect all the sparkels!! What a beautiful dress!  I'm just under 5.4 and this dress was the perfect for my height.  Only negative, if there is one, its very low cut.  If you are well indowed like me, the ladies will be in full show!  I loved it and would defiintely rent this one again. 

This fit perfectly, very comfortable, and the length was appropriate with heels. 

I received many compliments in this dress! I ending up wearing the bonus size dress (size up) simply because the chest area was a little looser. The sequins on the dress did not irritate my arms at all. The dress does run a bit short (heads up if you're tall).

SR fit perfect! Even the length was perfect! I wore high heels, but could have worn less of a high heel and it would have worked well. Did not need to wear a bra. Lots of compliments all night! Would definitely rent again!!

This dress was exactly what I wanted for the wedding I was attending. It fit perfectly, I worse the LR, true to size. I loved that I didn't need to wear a bra, and it was much more comfortable than I was expecting. 

The dress is stunning, however, it is an awkward length for the taller girls. Not quite a midi dress, but your feet are showing. Also, it is a bit scratchy under the arm area so I ended up not wearing it for my event. 

Very pretty though!

Pretty dress comfortable fit only downside is the pokey sequence on the sides that brushes against your inner arm

The dress was a little snug on me (5’7” - 165lbs). I ordered my size based on the chart. Wish I would’ve gotten a size larger instead of longer but oh well, hindsight is 20/20! Rent this for a formal event! I got so many compliments! 

I loved this dress. It was so comfy all night and I was getting compliments left and right! The only thing that I didn’t love was that it totally smushed my chest down in the 12. But if I went 14 the whole dress was too big. So not a major flaw but it was just a smidge tight around the chest due to that. 

Loved the dress. Dress is forgiving in the midsection/leg area so no need to feel like you need to "suck in" the whole time. dress had room to dance and was beautiful on! Sides are a little itchy but I put on some bodyglide before hand which helped a lot. Would recommend!  

This dress was a perfect fit for a short girl (5’2) with a pair of heels. I received so many compliments all night long. This dress was absolutely stunning!

I used a bit of boob tape to keep the sequence from itching in one spot. Fit great otherwise. Loads of compliments and tons of colors to pull for accents. I'm 5'5ish and it would have been perfect with flats. 

This dress was super comfortable and fit nicely. There wasn't much of a difference in fit between the XXL and the XL for me. I loved how I felt in it and seemed to get a lot of compliments. I didn't have to wear a bra with the dress which was nice. The only downfall, which other ladies mentioned, is that the sequins can be a little scratchy under your arms by the end of the night. But overall, I loved this dress and would love to wear it again!

Rented this for my senior recital and it was so so perfect. Loved every moment in it, and got lost of compliments. Would rent again!!

Dress was very fitted in the bodice and just fit in the med long. ai received tons of compliments. One thing to note is that the sequins do rub your inner arms. It was tolerable but something to be aware of.  
Pair it with rose gold heels and vintage handbag and very simple earrings. 

definitely had the sequin issue so the underside of my arms were a little raw by the end of the night but it fit well and I got a lot of compliments!

I absolutely loved this dress! I wore it to a black-tie wedding, and it was perfect for the occasion. After reading reviews, I worried the sequins would be itchy/painful, but they didn't really bother me. I also loved that it wasn't too long, so I was able to wear flats all evening. Highly recommend!

This dress was really lovely and well-made. It sparkled and shined. I got lots of compliments on it. However, and it's a big however, the listing for it shows a gown that touches the floor. In reality, it went to my ankles (I am 5'8"). It took the dress from being a fun/funky gown for someone my age to a Mother of the Bride frock, at least in my mind. It was also surprisingly heavy for how it looks in the listing photos. I would not rent this again. Caution if you're 5'5" or over.
