Wore this to an Air Force ball and stood out because it was so understated in a sea of sparkly and colorful dresses. I loved the slit and the neckline, and the stretchy fabric was so comfortable, I could sleep in the dress. The only note I have on the fit is the length- this dress is really long! I got the regular because the long was unavailable (I figured at 5'9" I would need the long), but it worked out for the better because the regular was plenty long- long enough for me to wear 5 inch heels!

I wore this to my sister's rehearsal dinner. It was fun, comfortable and gorgeous and very easy to dress up or down. The Regular was a great length, even for my petite stature. I wore it with 4 inch heels but someone my height could probably get away with as little as 2''. It's very stretchy which accommodated my large bust nicely. The slit was sexy but not slutty, it wasn't as high as it looks in the picture when standing - about mid thigh to mini. I felt great all night and got a ton of compliments. There are endless ways to style this dress! 

I received a lot of compliements all night!  Very soft material and the long was a must for my height.  I didn't have to adjust my dress all night either, the slit and material stayed in place. 

I really enjoyed wearing this dress... in this instance, I would say the woman makes the outfit though. There's not A LOT going on, but the neckline is very fun and unusual (in a good way)... people WILL see your shoes so make sure they are FAB and go with max or minimal accessories. Either way, this dress is a great canvas to paint on!!

Loved the fit and the dress. It was slimming and draped, masked the "not so fit" areas.  The perfect combo of classy and sexy.  My only complaint would be that the dress I wore seemed a little worn, the black was not super BLACK but looked more like a shirt that was washed a little too much. 

I wore a 4in heel which fit perfect length wise Though I was hoping to wear a 6in platform which would have been too high with the dress.

My whole experience was pretty scary. I was the only girl without her dress the day before prom but I wasn't too worried. When I got home my dresses were waiting for me. Sadly, the small of this dress was unavailable so they sent me another silver one (I told them i was wearing silver shoes so they could choose) it was cute but just not me. Thankfully, the medium of this dress wasn't that bad. i fit a tad loose but it still looked awesome! A little short however with my heels.

The fit was perfect, the material is tight but it is very flattering.  The rushing on the dress works out great.  The jersey material was super comfortable to be in for a long night too.  The dress isn't a true black, it's got almost grayish-brown in it, the sheen of it is really similar to a raw silk look.  The length was perfect for me, I wore normal heels, nothing super tall, and it worked out great. 

Ohhhh my goodness. When I got my RTR package from my UPS man, I ripped it open to try on my dress. Even though my hair was up in a pony tail and I still had my socks on, I felt like a million bucks. Fast forward to my holiday cocktail party - hair done, heels on - people were calling me a movie star! Everyone was telling me I needed to find a way to keep this dress! Believe me, I was thinking of a way to do it! I keep checking eBay to see if it pops up somewhere. I think I actually shed a tear when I dropped the envelope into the mailbox.
The model in this photo definitely does not do the dress justice. If you have a little curve, all the better, the dress definitely highlights it in all the right places. And the neckline is so gorgeous. Wear some statement earrings to make sure you show off that neckline!
So RTR...um..if you need to retire this dress, you know who to call, right? [This girl]

im 5'11" as well and i dont plan on wearing heels with the dress, well the dress still be long enough?

Hi Lisa, this dress will be long enough for your height! It's going to show off your shoe no matter what because of the slit! 

Loved this dress! The fabric hugged in all the right places and the slit gave it a bit of an edge. It was easy to move around and dance in and I received tons of compliments. Only real issue for me was that it wasn't long enough with heels (I ordered the long version as well). 

This dress looks GREAT on you but also looks a little tight in the bust for your 34B; I'm a 34DD/34F and hourglass -- do you think a would 6 fit and still be comfortably snug everywhere else?

I am about 5'5 as well.   How high of heels did you wear?  I was told that if I wore anything above a 2 inch heel the dress would be too short, and all of my heels are 4+ inches. 

Hi Courtney! If you are 5'5" and want to wear a 4 inch heel you should order the L length in our gowns!

This dress is gorgeous; the model doesn't do it justice. I wore it to a benefit on recommendation from a RTR stylist and was complimented right and left. Though most other women were wearing short dresses, I felt completely comfortable between the tightness of the material and the high slits. And it looks very Pippa Middleton from behind which never hurts.
