I managed a gala for the non-profit I work at and was only floating through the crowd minimally, but received so many compliments on this dress. I felt so glamorous as the kudos just kept coming! I'm so glad I rented instead of just grabbing yet another cocktail dress off the rack. Felt like I was floating. Make  sure you're in heels, though, lots of folds. Thanks for making me a show-stopper, RTR!

I got a ton of compliments all night!  This dress is very flattering and one of the few dresses good for shorter gals due to the slit.  I am 5'2", wore 4 inch heels and the dress just barely skimmed the floor.  I loved that I could wear a strapless bra with this dress too.  I would recommend this dress hands down!

This dress is beautiful and slimming.  Gorgeous line. Super comfortable and easy to navigate.  Slightly big on top but worked very well with strapless bra and double sided tape.

Rented this dress for my Bond themed company Christmas Party. All the material was conservative enough for my company party; the slit was nice but not too high. 

Although I have a small body frame, the regular fit perfectly! I couldn't have been more pleased with this soft-style dress. The folds of the dress are obviously staged to look structured on the model image, but the material description online matched my expectations exactly. It's very flowy and classic, & feels like a red carpet dress. It looks great with a full up-do and brilliant earrings. I wore it with 3.5" stilettos, which was great for my height. I recommend that if you rent this dress, you stick to a classic, simple look for accessories, shoes, etc.

I wore this to a black tie fall wedding and it was definitely unique and lovely. I have a little waist but wider hips and tummy and this dress was very flattering where I wanted it and forgiving where I needed it. 

Perfect for a formal wedding...comfortable to eat, drink and dance!
Tight around the waist, I was able to skip a bra. I'm 5'8" and I do wish this came in lengths. In bare feet, it touched the floor, but was a touch short in heels.
Gorgeous when walking...just a great, elegant, easy dress.

Great dress for a formal affair.  Fit was great, only had to use fashion tape on the shoulder to keep the white part showing.  I wore 4 1/2 inch heels and the dress length was perfect.  The slit is great while dancing!  Definitely recommend this dress!

The dress was like a silky satin material 

This dress fit great - with just a bit of extra space and was super comfortable. Having a very small frame, I was pleasantly surprised that a dress without stretchy fabric was able to fit me! The material is very soft and light weight - it blew beautifully in the wind. I felt almost angelic! The white band at the waistline gave great shape and the dress fell nicely on my body. Even though it is black, it felt like my shape was still there - perfect! I would highly recommend :)

Needed to be steamed really carefully otherwise the top looks messy. Also fits tight around the waist but lose around the chest.

I found this dress to run large in order to achieve the desired look. If you go a size smaller be mindful that the dress runs narrow in the waist. This was my 1st RTR. I will definitely use again! 

The dress was gorgeous. It arrived with a few stray threads and a rough hem, but still gorgeous. I winged it with this dress because no backup was available, but it did fit. The band around the waist was a tad snug, but it did zip. The zipper is tricky like other reviewers stated. I wore about 4 inch heels and the dress was about 3/4 inch off the ground. I did use fashion tape to keep the top down. I should've also used it to keep the white part down so it would show in photo's. All in all, I think the dress was gorgeous. The only thing I wish was that the slit was a tiny bit higher as it didn't show any leg in photos  that I wasn't posing for. It's gorgeous, classy, and just the right about of sexy. 

I went a size up bc my hubs and babysitter couldn't zip the zero. The two was a little big in the boobs and around the arm but it stayed on fine and I didn't have to play w it all night. The white waist band goes around your rib cage and is snug - hence a size up. Good if you have boobs. I have none and wore a strapless padded bra. The material is very light weight, like jersey. Good for summer despite the black color. Loves the leg slit. The inside of the dress is white - cool. 

You look stunning- the dress looks like it was MADE for you! BRAVO!!!

The dress fit perfectly, I'm a petite person(5'2) so I wore it with a 4" heel and the length of the dress was good. The zipper on the side was a bit though to pull up, but not that hard after it's half way up.  Overall the dress was lovely, easy to walk around with, and looks and feels sexy as you walk and the opening on the front starts to flow! 

Obsessed with your shoes! Rock it girl. Do you lift?

I am planning on ordering a 6 and 8, like you, I usually wear a 6, but weigh the same as you and am 5'5", and  the listing recommends to order one size smaller as the back up... looks like you ordered one size up as your back up and ended up wearing the 6, would you have ordered the 6 and 4 if you had it to do over?

The dress was very pretty but I was a bit surprised at how thin the material was. I thought it would be a bit fuller based off the photo shown. Both the 6 and 8 fit but the 8 was a bit loose. I'm 5'9, 158 lbs and busty. I was a little worried about zipping it up on the side but just took my time getting it up. 

The waste band is a little tight. Over all a fabulous dress

hi! Which size did you order as your back up size and what would you recommend? up or down? 

The white on the top of the shoulder doesn't show on the dress on as it does in the photo on the website. 

I had a really high platform on maybe 5in. The length was fine. Plus the asymmetry and slit in the front made it not a problem. Very easy to walk in and to wear!! I loved it!! 

how was the length for you? I'm also 5'1, what size heel did you where?

 I rented another style at first and saw the option to add a second style for a discounted price so I chose this as my back up and was only able to get the one size.  The other dress was a big disappointment as neither size fit and it just appeared to be richer looking on the website,   This dress was it from the moment I took it out of the packaging!!! I wore it to a black tie optional wedding at one of Philadelphia's most popular venue's - Cescaphe's Downtown Club. I received so many compliments and felt like an old hollywood movie star in it!.  The material was so luxurious and silky, it fit like a glove and flowed beautifully when I walked.  The slit appears to be a bit daring but it was more modest in person.  I absolutely recommend this to anyone attending a forma affair! It was perfect!

LoVED the dress. Was ALMOST too short but I wore lower heels. The only con was that the band around the waist was very snug. Other than that LOVED the dress. 

I wore the 12R which was pretty true to size.I'm not a full busy so I'd def wear some tape or a strapless bra.I danced all night at a NYE party very comfortably.The material is soft and really comfortable.I wore 4 inch heels but my dress was long enough and I didn't have any problems with it!I got lots of compliments and I'd totally recommend the dress to others!

I usually wear a 2 or 4. This dress fit great but was a little snug around my rib cage. Perfect length and comfortable every where else 

I loved this sexy black and white gown! This style runs true to size and works best for A to C cup sizes. It is very fitted in the natural waist but has comfortable room in the hips. I would size up for backup as the fabric has no stretch. I wore this 5 1/2 inch heels and it was the perfect length
