Great dress. Wore it to a cold weather wedding, and with a jacket on I was very comfortable. It’s lined and made of relatively thick fabric so maybe not the best for staying cool if you needed that. Straps are very thin so they did start digging in and getting irritating at the very end of the night, but that was after like 8 hours of wear. 

I have an unruly and heavy chest so this sweetheart spaghetti strap top half of this beautiful dress was just way too revealing for our autumn night art gala. You have to go braless for this dress because of the open back-and there’s no structure in the dress top. I would have been adjusting it all night and been uncomfortable, so I happened to have this Lucy athletic wear cowl neck top that I thought worked awesome over top of this dress. I did the headband hack - put it around my waist and tucked the extra bottom of the shirt up under the band and put a belt to make it look together lol I felt super pretty and confident and I wore the dress with ease (and a bra lol) all evening.  I did add a long crinoline as well (got for cheap on Amazon) to give it a little more volume and fancy. I typically wear women size large between 8-12 in jeans/pants/clothes. I ordered and tried a 10 in this dress but because of the “girls” it would not zip fully. I’m thankful for the backup dress size! It was perfect. I wore regular cowboy boots under and the dress hovered the floor. No dragging and not too short at 5’5”. I loved this dress the way I wore it. I don’t want to send it back! It was so fun to wear and felt so pretty! 

My plan A didn’t work out at all, luckily I had time to get replacements through RTR, and this one was perfect. No fuss, didn’t need steaming, super comfy, no bra or shapewear, and got compliments all night. I wish I owned this dress! 

The dress was a little long but perfect with heels. I am 5’4” and it was dragging the ground with flat feet (and tennis shoes at the after party) 

Loved that it has pockets. Fit was great!

It has pockets!!!!! I’m not sure if my dress was stretched out, or if that’s how it fits but I’m usually a 6 and I think I could have fit a 2 in this dress. The waist was an OK fit but the cups were a bit big! I think if I had a slightly larger chest it would have been great. You can tighten the straps but it doesn’t do much for the cups. I should have brought fashion tape. 

Other than that, I loved this dress and got tons of compliments!

I loved the most everything about this dress and received many compliments! I did end up wearing the 8 instead of 6 because it felt more comfortable on my body but I could have worn the 6 as well. The top would probably not work for larger chests. The only thing I didn’t like is the weight of the dress coupled with the skinny straps. It was just a little uncomfortable on my shoulders after several hours of wearing the dress.

This dress was perfect for a black tie wedding, fits well on a large-ish chest and travels beautifully (didn’t even have to steam it). I got lots of compliments and loved how it looked. The only small con is the thin criss cross straps do dig into your shoulders which is a bit uncomfortable. The size 10 fit me perfectly. 

The fit was comfortable and the style matched a fall black tie wedding perfectly. Not too much for the dance floor either. 

This dress was perfect for a Fall wedding guest look. Comfortable and it has pockets! Thick material, no bra needed. It is a bit long, must wear heels. I got so many compliments on this 

Very elegant  and fun dress with pockets! I wore this to a Gala as the Emcee and received lots of compliments. The 6R fit perfectly so it was true to size. Had to wear a higher heel so that it would not drag since I’m 5’2”. Very comfortable and was cut too low in the front. Would highly recommend and I would wear this one again!

This was perfect for a fall black tie wedding. I was worried I would be hot, but was super comfortable all night. Pockets were deep and useful for all my things all night!

This dress was floor length, so I needed to wear heels. I wore it to a black tie optional wedding. I loved the pockets! Anyone with a larger chest should know that either the waistband or the cups are gonna fit, not both. I had to use boob tape. I’m between an 8 and a 10 and the 8 fit better. 

so many compliments. it’s a little heavy so the straps dig into your collarbones a bit. very long: i’m 5’9” and wore heels and it was justtt short enough 

Loved this dress, easy to wear, fit was great, got the 2 & 4 wore the 2, the chest on the 4 was a little blown out from wear. 

I wore this to a black tie wedding, and it was absolutely perfect! It was pretty hot and humid, but I stayed surprisingly cool thanks to the top's fit and straps. I sized one size down to a 6 which was perfect for me. The adjustable straps and pockets put this over the top. Wore 3 inch heels which made the length just right. Would absolutely rent again! 

Size 12, I’m 5’6” and about 180lbs. The fit and length were perfect.

I absolutely loved this dress. I wore it to a black tie optional wedding and got so many compliments. It feels lux while also being forgiving. I never rent the same dress twice but almost want to rent this one again for another formal wedding! 

I absolutely loved this dress! I am keeping it to buy I loved it so much! Fit well, was comfortable and got so many compliments at the wedding that I wore it for my 40th birthday photo shoot too!

This dress was fun to wear! It does billow out around the middle so not the most flattering angle from the side. I wore the size 6 and 5’10” and felt the straps dug into my shoulders just a little but not enough to bother me all night. I did add sticky strapless cups to give my chest a little lift. 

Wore the 8R. It fit perfectly everywhere. I didn’t wear a bra (I’m a 36B1/2 cup size) and was comfortable for the entire 8 hrs I wore the gown. I wore a short heel, about an inch, and the dress came right to the floor but didn’t drag and was enough to cover my feet. Had planned to wear a taller heel but it made the dress too short. I did need to iron the hemline as it had creased during shipping and was flipping up in a big section at the front when it arrived. The color was very flattering for my fair complexion and the fit was just right for my figure. I loved the floral pattern and got many compliments on the gown. The pockets were fabulous and sturdy and deep enough to hold my phone as I mingled during the cocktail hour. I’m so glad I went out of my comfort zone with this floral gown. I adored it and felt beautiful!!

Gee I love not carrying a purse!! This dress was sooo comfortable and formal while allowing room to breathe. 

This was my favorite from the moment I put it on!  The fabric is gorgeous, the fit was wonderful, the length just right with 3" heels, and it has POCKETS. I felt so lovely in it and got tons of compliments at a formal gala with a "red" theme. I wish I had other places to wear it! 

Fit perfectly only draw back was even though straps are adjustable I needed about another inch to loosen.

I rented this for a black tie gala, and it was perfect. Floor length, structured, but light weight, incredibly flattering. And of course: POCKETS! 

I’m 5’6, 127 lbs, slim athletic frame, small chest,, and usually wear a size 2. I ordered a size 2 and it fit perfectly. It has adjustable straps too which is really nice. I wore 3” heels and the dress met the floor exactly where it should. 

I felt like a million bucks and received so many compliments, which is always a plus!

I’d recommend this dress for any black tie/formal affair! 

This dress was stunning! I got compliments all night. The material was heavy but not warm or hot! The colors were exactly as pictured and they popped and shined! The straps were a tiny bit uncomfortable by the end of the night but nothing that bothered me too much. It was the perfect length for me to wear heels and the dress be at the floor but not dragging. I had to hold it going up stairs but not while walking. I definitely recommend this dress! 

I wore this dress to a themed gala and it was perfect! The adjustable straps make it easy to customize the fit, and it was comfortable. It even has pockets! Highly recommended. The fabric is beautiful in person and I got lots of compliments. It's also easy to accessorize with anything gold.

The only reason I wouldn't buy it is because it poofs out a bit at the back because there's extra material and the bust was too wide for me

I LOVED this dress! Received a ton of compliments. Had to wear a high heel for the length (I'm just under 5'5".) The material is a tad scratchy where the metallic thread is but not a problem. And it had POCKETS! I wore a size 4 and it fit perfectly. 

Loved wearing this dress! I wore it to a black tie event. I usually wear a 0 and the 0 fit just right. The straps are adjustable so even as a 34A I had no gapping. The fabric hangs so nicely and the metallic of the gold makes this dress really pop. I’m 5’5” and wore 3” heals and the dress length was perfect. 

Loved this dress so much I'm considering buying it!! 
Very flattering, pockets, beautiful color, quality fabric that has a nice weight to it.
I wore this to a march black tie wedding, might be a little too heavy/hot fabric wise for something in the mid summer 
The metallic thread in the pattern is a blend of silver and gold. 


Very comfy dress.  Adjustable straps were great to fit bust. It’s long, so heels help.  I wore 4” heels.  It’s a heavy fabric but the dress didn’t feel heavy on.  True to size

cinches the waist perfectly, can be worn without a bra, super comfortable, even has a pocket. very sturdy too and I got lots of compliments.

It fit perfectly, the adjustable straps help that.

This was really comfortable and photographed well! 

My first rental ever from RTR. Got this to wear to a baroque-themed gala at an art museum. I’m usually a size 10 and 10R was the largest size available. I made it work but the top was so small for me and made me look so boobilicious that I threw a bolero over it so I wouldn’t feel over-exposed. The waist fit perfectly, though, and I fear a 12, had it been available, would have been too loose.
