Loved it and received so many compliments! Only downside is sitting with the high slit. You’re either pulling on your neck or showing a LOT of leg

Great fit, color was beautiful. wore it for a dinner event

Loooooved this dress, perfect for a black tie wedding. the tie on the waist made it super flattering and the slit on the leg for a little sexiness 

I wore this dress to a black tie wedding and it was perfect! It fit well and was beautiful and so comfortable. I loved the high slit and halter style neckline. 

I am lucky that they sent two sizes because I normally wear a size 4, and in this dress I had to wear a size 6. Because they didn’t have a size 6 in regular length, I was wearing a petite 6- and although I didn’t hate it, I thought I should’ve had a longer dress. It fit, but I feel like you have to be very careful and go with a slightly larger size for your first pick, and 2 sizes larger for your second size. If I could redo, I would get a size 6 regular and a size 8 regular and try them both on. 
However, I made it work ! Everybody loved my dress! 

Wore this to a black tie optional wedding and it was perfect! The ruching in the middle makes it super flattering too

Wow! I ordered the medium and it was a perfect fit. It was comfortable and flattering. I got a ton of compliments. I am large chested at 36DDD end it was very comfortable and fit perfectly. I did wear a strapless bra underneath.

Beautiful gown that fit great, runs a little big in the chest for a 34B, was able to pull the waist in with the side tie and it fit perfectly. Length was to the floor with 3” heels. Lots of compliments on this one! 

Amazing dress that hugged in all the right places and perfect length with heels. Loved it and got so many compliments!

I rented this for a black tie wedding and it was absolutely perfect! It fit like a glove and was comfortable to move in. I felt beautiful in it and received a ton of compliments on how nice it looked. If you are 5’4 or shorter and a S/M definitely consider the petite size. I picked medium regular for my 2nd size and it was way too much fabric in the length and torso. 

I'm 5'10" and if I had not worn 2" heels, this dress would have been too long. But with the 2" heels it was just right! And the waist was great, as well as the neckline. I have another black tie wedding next spring, and I'd definitely renting this exact dress again for it! 

A gorgeous dress, just was not the perfect fit for me. Too large in the chest for a smaller bust, and too tight in the waist for a pear shape with no stretch/give to the material. That being said, great wedding dress and I’m sure would fit perfectly for other girlies! 

Hi - at 5'4" tall with a 2" heel I needed the petite.  Fit perfectly and so glad I got the back up size.  Fabric is rich, LOVE.  The slit is a little tricky when sitting down but it all worked out.

I’m 5’5”, size 34C and 135lbs. I ordered a Small (regular) and a medium as my back up size based on other reviews I had seen. The medium was MASSIVE. The small fit well enough but there was a fair amount of extra fabric so it was some gap in the chest area near my armpits. Luckily the dark navy color hid the extra fabric. I wore heels that were about 3” and the dress length was perfect with them on. Kind of wish I had ordered the extra small as my back up size to see how that would have fit. Overall the dress was gorgeous and I received a ton of compliments, it just didn’t quite fit me as well as I had hoped!

This dress is gorgeous and so comfortable. I love the fabric. The size 10 was a little bit big so I may have been able to size down.

Love this dress! Super comfortable all night at a black tie wedding. Under the arms was big, so had to fold over with fashion tape. A strapless bra didn't work, so wore bra pads affixed with fashion tape inside the dress. 

This evening gown is amazing.  The silky fabric feels so luxurious, and the fit is absolutely beautiful. I love that it comes in petite; it’s perfect for shorter frames like mine.  The slit is just right, sexy without being too high & makes the dress feel fun & fabulous. Easy to care for too: just a quick press with low heat removes any wrinkles. I truly wish I had purchased it; it’s that stunning.

This dress was perfect for a formal wedding, understated but elegant. 

Simple and elegant — loved having a closed back dress for a change!  I was pleasantly surprised at the heft of the fabric (and it was fully lined), which gave the dress a nice weight and drape. Loose fit and length was great for a low heel at my height. The only drawback was that the weight of the fabric made it time-intensive to stream.

Fit perfectly!!! Would keep it if I had more black tie events to attend 

The most flattering and comfortable gown I’ve worn in years. Felt fabulous, must rent!

one of my favorite dresses I’ve ever worn! very very flattering. Small was a bit tight on the thighs and medium a best loose in the chest, but that’s typical for me. 

I would order the petite size if I ordered it again. I had to wear higher heels, but would have preferred shorter. 

I wore this to officiate my friend’s wedding. I wore an XL and it fit great!.

I loved the look of this dress! The material didn’t give much, so the neck got tight at times when sitting down. It took some slight adjusting to make it comfortable but overall I loved the look of this dress 

Wore to wine country wedding- was so comfy and I felt great in it - even comfy to dance in! Highly recommend. Wore fabric tape for the sides of the bodice as it sort of gaped. 

this dress was very classy and worked great for an formal wedding. the material was really smooth and flattering. the dress itself was a bit big and quite long (even with 3 inch heels).

Rented 4 dresses last minute for a "creative" black tie wedding in Michigan over memorial day weekend and this one was the winner. This dress was perfect, did not pull or gape anywhere. I'm always worried being on the more petite side height-wise that a dress will be too long on me, but the regular size was great with about a 2 inch heel. One downside was this dress needed to be heavily steamed before I could wear it, so would not recommend unless you have access to a steamer. However, once steamed the fabric laid nicely all night. 

Fit true to size, fabric was so buttery soft, and so so flattering. Definitely recommend. It was perfect for my event! 

This was super flattering in the midsection. I am 5’9” and the long was great. I am a size 6 sometimes 8 and small fit well . 

I wore this to a black tie wedding and felt great all night! I was able to wear a strapless bra comfortably. The dress is lined nicely-very flattering. I considered buying this one!

Loved this dress. I ended up wearing the Medium without a bra and it was just tight enough to keep me secured. The large felt better around my neck but was too baggy in my chest area. I also loved the slit. It wasn't too high to be uncomfortable but just enough to feel sexy. I regret not getting any pictures the night of the event but here it is in my messy closet room. Great material and lots of compliments!

Such a beautiful dress, very high quality. It ran a little big.

It was a great option for the occasion, a wedding. It fit nicely and I received lots of compliments. My friend in the picture with me also also rented her dress from RTR. 

So I have had three babies over three years. This is the first wedding I have been to NOT being pregnant and I really wasn’t sure how I would feel. I was able to wear this dress with no bra (just nip protectors) and stayed put the whole time. The boob area felt like it could have been pulled up a little but I felt so confident and sexy in this dress all night!

I loved this so much! So classically elegant. Would definitely rent again 

This gorgeous gown was perfect for an early spring gala. At 5‘1“ and 127lbs the small was just a tad too big and I wonder if an XS would’ve worked better (out of stock). So I had to get creative to ruche it more on the slit side, so it didn’t drag the ground too much. Overall loved the look, the feel, and the elegance of the gown.
