I typically wear a size 4. The size 2 was just slightly too tight in the bust, otherwise I would've worn that size for this dress. But overall it worked out well as a guest at a Debutante Ball. 

My daughter wore to a black tie affair and it was perfection. Subtly gorgeous with very pretty details. Good for women who have a waist and a booty. She’s 5’6”, 130 and I wouldn’t recommend for taller girls. The inner corset was such a nice construction touch although the boning was a bit tweaked in it which pokes you a bit.

Fit was perfect, I wear size 2 usually. Got lots of compliments! 

The stress was really cute. I love the slit, although you have to be careful when you are sitting down because it does show a lot of skin. I felt like Lorelai Gilmore in this dress. It really is flattering for us curvy girls.

A lovely dress for a wedding. It has no stretch but fits true to size. I’m 5 ft and wore it with 4-inch heels, and the length was perfect.

I probably could have sized up one but it still fit great. There is a corset style inner zip up that gives it a nice structure. 

Wore this to a work winter gala. I looked totally gorgeous. I sized up to a 6 and it was still too small. The boning kept my posture totally upright even when I was sitting. So like, once again, I looked lovely, but the boning eventually dug into my hips to the point of causing pressure sores.

This dress looks and feels fabulous! I got so many compliments at the formal event I attended. For a strapless dress, it felt very secure and accentuated my shape. Love it 10/10

I wore this for a black tie optional wedding. I’m usually a size 4 and the size 4 was tight but not too tight, stayed up perfectly although the inside lining I couldn’t get zipped up. I think sizing up would’ve been too big though. Super comfy because if stretchy fabric and the slit was tasteful. The length was maybe 2-3 inches too short for my heels. I got a ton of compliments on it. The

Rented this dress for a formal wedding that I needed to wear a long black dress for. I didn’t have a back up dress but it seemed like a safe choice based on reviews. The dress fit perfectly and felt elegant. I loved the zip up part under the dress - it was so nice to not have to pull up a strapless dress all night. The length was also nice to not have to worry about it being too long. Would definitely recommend. 

As someone of the IBTC this was perfect. The dress has a second zipper inside the dress that tightens the top/corset of the dress, my only issue is that two of the pieces of booking stuck out and poked me but I put some bandaids on them which helped!

perfect for black tie event. snatch at the waste. goes well with many shoes options

Love this dress. Fits great. Looks great on. I love the shapewear that’s built into the dress. Highly recommend and I would definitely wear this again. 

Thank goodness the backup dress was sent the six was too small. 8 was perfect with two people zipping me up! Lol Got lots of compliments and felt beautiful in it! 

Im usually a size 4 sometimes a size 2. I wore the size 4 and it was pretty tight. There’s a corset part that zips up and it was uncomfortable. There was a bit of bonding exposed and it dig into my skin. So might want to size up 1. The slit was a nice touch but sitting down it did expose quite of bit of leg/thigh area so be mindful of that. I did receive compliments but it wasn’t my favorite dress from RTR. I wouldn’t rent this dress again. 

This was the perfect dress for my anniversary dinner! Just the right amount of cleavage that I was comfortable with and no worry about slippage. :) 

This dress was perfect for my formal work event. There is boning, almost like a corset, on the top portion which can be a little uncomfortable but it really gives support and shape. The slit didn't go too high up as well which was great because I was working the event most of the night!

This was my second time renting, and it has been so easy. Size 4 is the one I went with, it was pretty comfy although I did notice the boning of the dress was very sturdy, not in an uncomfortable way but not in a super comfy way (sitting down). Very nice and easy to dance in! I would recommend 

This is a great dress but runs snug to the point where I didn’t bother with a bra. Big busted women probably would find it impossible to zip up. It was classic and comfortable.

The extra corset zipper on the inside made me feel very secure. By the end of the night the ribbing was digging into my side a bit, but I was also dancing a lot. I felt very classy and beautiful in the dress. I wore 3 1/2 inch heels with the dress and it still covered a lot of my foot. The slit when you are sitting down can be a bit much, but just pay attention while sitting and you'll be okay. I don't think pictures fully do the dress justice. 

Lot of complements! Could easily dance in it. There is boning so maybe you can’t eat a ton of food.

Perfect for a black tie wedding. I am usually between two sizes and the larger size fit me well. There is an inner corset portion that is zipped before the outer dress zip. Very flattering!

I loved this dress however I wish I sized up. It fit but it was TIGHT. I always order a size 4 & 6 or small & medium from RTR. And typically wear the 4/small dresses. I wore the 6 and honestly would’ve probably went with an 8. I am a B cup and it was still tight, if your large chested DEFINITELY size up. 

The dress however is stunning! Very thick material which makes it feel even dressier. It’s also very slimming, loved it so much! The slit does open like allllll the way up when you’re seating so beware of that. Otherwise 10/10 recommend! Black tie affair attire for sure!

I couldn’t be more satisfied with the fit and quality. It was stunning and chic, and I received many compliments! The dress was snug and cinched me in, yet breathable and comfortable.

This is a beautiful dress! I wore it for a fall wedding and received lots of compliments. I am 5’10 and 165 pounds (pear shaped) and the size 10 was perfect. The corset is definitely snug fitting but worked fine on my 34C chest. The length was perfect as I wore flat shoes. Definitely recommend this dress! 

The fit was as expected, not too tight or too large. 

This dress fit great. The corset top meant I didn't need to wear a bra. I wore shapewear underneath to give me extra tummy control. I received so many compliments. 

Dress fit like a glove! No bra needed as the top was tight. The slit was a little higher up the leg than I expected, but I was still able to sit comfortably. Overall and very pretty dress! 

This was perfect for a black tie, all black clothes wedding. It’s thick high quality fabric with a form fitting bodice. This was a no bra dress which rarely happens for me!! The only thing I wasn’t expecting was how high the slit became when sitting down, but I figured out how to sit without it being fully exposed. I am always between sizes and I wore the 8 instead of 6 because the smaller size bodice was just a tad painful, 8 was perfect. Held up all night with no issues and lots of dancing!! 

This dress fit perfectly. It has an extra zipper inside to really hold the bodice up. I wasn’t feeling the need to pull up the strapless dress all night. It was gorgeous. I used the Hollywood  Fashion Tape to temporarily hem the dress since I’m only 5’2” and that was super easy. 

Very elegant, got lots of compliments. Has a corset built in which gives a great shape but the edges dig into the skin a bit. Comfortable, danced in it all night. Would 100% wear again.
