I rented this for a Malibu winter wedding, and I was not disappointed. Super flattering, and the slit adds some fun to it. The slit does show a lot of leg when walking, so that is something to think about. Overall I loved the dress and would totally rent again. 

I LOVED THIS DRESS. It was extremely flattering and also very comfortable. The only issue with it was the slit was a bit revealing when I sat down, I had to hold it closed a little bit. But overall it's a great dress and I would definitely recommend it, it's a slightly expensive rental but worth the price. I may even rent it again!

Fit was great. I had both the 38l and the 40l. I originally tried on the 38l and was thrilled how it fit. Then I decided to try the 40l. It was looser, but looked better. That's the design of the dress. I have broad swimmer shoulders and back so the dress fell better. My date agreed the 40l looked better because the back wasn't pulling so much. 

I used fashion tape on my chest so it didn't fall open when I leaned over. I wouldn't have needed this on the 38l.

Even with 3 1/2 inch heels the dress was long enough. I'm 5'10". Maybe a bit too long, I tripped on the hem a couple times. 

I loved the dress and got so many compliments on it. 

I have the hardest time finding a dress that doesn't make me look too busty and flatters my curvy figure.  This dress was absolutely perfect and I got compliments on it all night.  I was sad to return it.

This dress lived up to the expectation and more! I read a lot of reviews before making my final decision and boy did I make the right one--it is SO flattering! The dress fits true to size, slightly long on a shorter gal like me but the slit helps disguise that. 
The only thing I did not like about the dress was a slight gap in the bust area (outer edges) but it was not a deal breaker, nor did it take anything away from making me feel like a gem the entire night! If you have a fuller bust you should have no problem with this "gap" at all. I think the "short gal wearing a regular size" situation was the root of this particular problem. 
Both sizes did arrive with a small stain--they were so small and barely noticeable so I wore the dress as it was anyway. 
Final verdict: I would wear this dress again in a heartbeat! 

I wore the 40L with 3" heels and the length was perfect. 

I loved this dress! I was a little concerned with the slit and the plunging neckline for a National Sales Meeting Awards Gala But, after tacking the slit with a couple stitches I felt much better. I received so many compliments. 

First, I'll speak to the quality of the dress. The crepe on the bottom half was thick and very comfortable. The satin on the top was also very comfortable and held its "relaxed" shape without falling off. 

Note: the slit is very high. I didn't mind it, but something to be aware of when you sit/walk. 

Fits true to size. 

I loved this dress and would totally rent it again! 

I wore this for a special night at the opera. The 6 just barely fit but was very figure flattering. The slit shows A LOT of leg while you're walking so if you're looking for a totally conservative dress, this might not be for you. 

The dress fit perfectly. It has a little bit of a train but I didn't feel like I was stepping on it all night. It was so comfortable and I got compliments all night. 

Loved this dress when I tried it on in the showroom. Probably could have worn a size smaller but it was still an amazing dress. Felt very elegant and beautiful. Would definitely wear this again 

The picture does not do this amazing dress justice! It's flattering on an hourglass shape, and the fabric is gorgeous. I wish I owned it!

I was sent a size bigger than what I requested.  It fit and looked great, but I would have liked a size smaller. It in general is a little loose which makes it super flattering. I got so many compliments. The dress was classy and sexy both. 

I wish I could keep this dress I usually wear a 2 or 4 I was a 6 and it fit great except the straps were a little big but nothing too serious. It was a great dress for a formal event. 
It was comfortable and a great fit! The top was a little big the straps but nothing a little tape couldn't work. Flattering comfortable and very complimentary. 

I wore this dress for a charity gala night. The dress looks very simple and plain on the photos. In real, this is the most elegant dress I ever saw. Very classy, yes simple, but the dress is gorgeous enough to show women's body. This dress is good to wear if you want to look sexy, yet classy. Though for me it is little big around chest, so I had to put fabric tape since it is not bra friendly. Thank you the stylist at RTR, Neil to pick this gorgeous dress for the indecisive person, me. 

I'm usually between a size 2 and a 4 and this fit perfectly. I could've used some double stick tape on my boobs, as you can't wear a bra (it's low cut) and the material gapes a bit when you're dancing. 
The slit is high but not too high. This is a dress that definitely looks better on than in pics. I loved the navy blue satin; it gave the dress a slipdress feel but it's more structured and hides your flaws better. I highly recommend! 

I wore the medium but i think the small could have worked. The dress was classy and comfortable but the lining at the bottom kept showing / could be wear and tear from all the renting. I wore a black strapless bra and thong spanx. I wanted a smoother look. The pattern seems like it would be very slimming but it wasn't as slimming as expected. It sort of widened my hips.  Despite that it was a comfortable dress and i recommend this to anyone 

The color was absolutely beautifully and the satin fabric was a nice quality. I love the slit in the leg and the V cut in the front and back. However , I ordered the 38L (size 6) and it was a little loose,  as if it was worn a lot. You could tell it was getting worn out by the stretch and the fabric. The straps were too large so I had to pin them up to keep it from falling off and revealing my boob. The length was perfect (I'm 5'4) with heels. Other than that, this was a wonderful dress for the Marine Corps Ball. 

It was incredibly comfortable, I wish I got to wear it for a longer period of time. I probably could have sized down to a 36R(4), but I only had the 38R(6). With that said, the top was too big on me so I ended up shortening the straps (turned them inside out and sewed one straight line, and ripped them out before sending the dress back).  I'm 5'4'' and wore 4 inch heels so the dress just touched the ground. 

This made my two-months postpartum body look amazing but I was afraid to wear it. The low cut back means one false move and the strap would fall and expose my bust. The split is very high, so if you are going to be dancing you'll need bike shorts.
