Slipped easily into this dress. Comfortable and got tons of compliments. I highly recommend this dress

Dress was beautiful, but warning it does run a little big. I'm 5'4" and 115 lbs and it was a little big on me.

Loved the silhouette of this dress. However, I feel like my biggest “problem” area is my tummy, so I personally thought shape wear was 100% needed to feel confident. I received ton of compliments and danced all night with no issues! Would recommend! 

I loved the fun detail on the one shoulder and the form fit of the dress. Only downside was having to tug it down all night as it would ride up. 

The dress fit well and looked good with shape wear. However I'm petite and it was long and wide at the hem. I used double side hem tape to do a makeshift shortening which worked but wasn't perfect 

Nice material and one shoulder ruffle makes this more than a traditional LBD party option. I wore to a wedding 29 weeks pregnant so went up two sizes from my regular 6 to accommodate my belly. The 8 might have worked but I didn't want to chance any malfunctions with our wedding travel. Would recco and rent again!

Got lots of compliments on this dress, it was comfortable and unique. Some of the photos were not very flattering though. I am normally a 2/4 and the 2 was huge! Great quality and you will stick out!

Fits true to size, little big up top, but worked, I would rent again.

I ended up with this dress since everything I reserved didn't fit.  I spent an hour on the phone with a specialist trying to find a dress in stock...imagine trying to find a dress the day before a summer wedding...impossible!  The specialist found this dress for me and I cannot say how excited I was to wear it!  The dress really calls for an updo to give it a full effect.  It feels amazing and truly creates a stunning look.  The material is thick and is fitted.  I wore it to an outdoor wedding in June and did get a little warm sitting through the ceremony and I am more cold natured.  I would definitely rent again.  

Absolute perfection!
So many compliments on this cut. Fits true to size, quality fabric and comfortable. 
I am 5'11" and this was knee length fit. Couldn't be happier.

Pros: easy to wear without a bra, is forgiving (eat as my apps and drink as much champagne as you want at the wedding - no Spanx needed), hit me a bit on the long side because I'm shorter / have short calves, but not *too* long. One-shouldered look added some flair. Simple black gives you the room to jazz up your accessories / makeup / hair. Would definitely rent again! 

I really enjoyed wearing this dress and felt formal but flirty at the same time. Got many compliments throughout the evening and in photos posted. The dress did not fit as snug as I would have assumed (specifically around the waist and hips), so I would suggest having your back up order be the size smaller than your true size. For a 5'3" height, the dress was maybe 1-2 inches long, but put it with some high nude pumps and the dress length worked out just fine. I am a 32B bra size and had to wear a strapless bra underneath to make the top fit snug for dancing. I would highly recommend this dress and may get it again in the future. 

Usually, wear a 4 but after reading reviews went down to 2. Fit great, form-fitting and definitely body-con but super comfortable. Sexy without being revealing. Danced all night. Lots of compliments. 

I felt so confident in the dress. I was a little nervous that the ruffle would be too gawdy for my taste but in person I couldn’t have been more pleased. The stretch crepe material is flattering and fabulous. I’m considering buying this dress in a size 0. I never in my life would ever thought I would wear a dress that was a zero but this dress definitely runs big. I do have a serious hourglass shape typically wearing a 4 to accommodate my curves even the 2 was just a little big in my hip area. Waist-24 hips-36

The dress fit perfectly! The stretch on the body of the dress made it VERY comfortable for the entire night! 

This was such a stunning dress & I got so many compliments! It was also so comfortable & fit perfectly! Would rent again! 

Very comfy and flattering dress. Loved wearing it!

The only con for the dress is that it does run big. I miss calculated and wore a 4. It was a bit big in the mid-section. The material is comfortable, almost like a body suit. Wish I got a smaller size so it would have clung a bit more. Loved the asymmetrical ruffle, super elegant.

Really holds true to it's form. Not that it is a shaping dress but that it isn't flimsy so it smooths out any undesirable bumps. Loved how it was also sexy but subtle. Great dress and will rent again!

This is a size 12.
Im 5'5 164 lb. In between size 12-14. It was PERFECT!
I did feel like when I danced too much the side with no sleeve sort of fell
I did not need a bra. (36C)
The material was so thick thats why no bra needed
Would rent again!

This dress is classy and the fabric is nice. I am really curvy, so i felt like it was a bit tight through the thighs and loose through the waist. Also, i did find it somewhat difficult to find a flattering angle for photos. But it was great to dance in and fun to wear!

The fit and cut is great and flattering. I wore this to a formal party and although black doesn't stand out in a crowd, this dress does


All the reviews had said this dress fit true to size but I knew I wanted it to be tight to have the right look. It fit like a glove! What an awesome dress. So many conpliments and perfectly formal without havihg to be in a gown. Loved every second of wearing it!

This dress was a winner for my husband's holiday oarty at an art museum - a little drama and great fit! I was worried when they didnt have my backup size, but thank god this fit perfectly in my size! Hugs all the right places, with a perfect amount of stretch. Enough structure that no bra was needed. Felt great all night! Would definitely rent again. This would be the perfect LBD to have in the closet for any event. 

At 5 months postpartum I was happy with how this dress fit. It was comfortable to dance in and not too heavy. It was fun to wear a style I would not typical purchase for myself.

Rented for a black tie wedding. I'm usually an 8, but it was out of stock so I went with a 6 and it fit perfect. The material is thick which helps conceal any unflattering shadows and folds. Would rent again! I felt like a million dollars in it. 

The dress fit well, but was about an inch or two too long. That is sometimes a challenge with RTR. 

Amazing fit and very comfortable. Classy and beautiful #wedding #blackdress

Originally ordered this dress as a back up before receiving this dress I called and asked for a size ten and I don't regret the change of heart. This dress has a stretchy material and a little loose on the top. I recommend choosing a size smaller. Most of my life I've been a size 8 but have gained weight so I was unsure if it would fit. Currently 175lbs and 5'8.5" if this helps. I promise you it's one of those dresses that you can breath in and not feel restricted. 

This little black dress was perfect!  I had a baby 9 months ago so I wasn't sure if it would fit, but it was perfect. The fabric is thicker and stretchy and holds everything in.  The ruffle was a great detail to this LBD and I received so many compliments on it.  I would definitely rent again!

This dress fit great with the appropriate under garment. I ordered the 12 and the 10..the 12 was more comfortable because it was bigger but not as form fitting. I was afraid that it would give after dancing as the night went on. I'm a 36DD and the dress fit great up top! I received lots of compliments and can't wait to rent the runway for my next event!

This was my first time actually renting a dress from RTR and I couldn't have asked for a better dress! Great quality, and slides on like a glove. Super flattering, and I have pretty wide hips. I'm usually between a 6 and an 8, no 8 was available but the 6 worked great. I'd recommend this dress for anyone! 

This was a great dress for a formal event I had - being 5'2, it looked a little long on me. I wish I had had fabric tape to adjust if a little. But I got lots of compliments!

Fit perfectly. Loved the one shoulder ruffle. Classic but interesting. definitely would rent again.

Very comfortable through the night, no adjustments needed between mingling, dancing and dining. Previous feedback was helpful too. It was my 2nd dress option and I was glad I had it! My initial choice was not a good style for petite, pear shape.

I loved the way it fit and fell below the knee. 

I rented this for a July indoor wedding - I wanted something classy and understated, but not basic. I rented the 2 and the 4 - I normally wear a size 0 in jeans and extra small to small in tops, but the 0 was not available. The 2 was actually a pretty good fit - not too tight, although I would have liked for it to be a little more form-fitting in the waist. If I rent again, I will definitely try the 0. This dress is extremely well-made - the lining is attached to the dress, so no annoying incidents of it riding up or bunching up underneath the dress. It is heavy and structured and doesn't wrinkle easily. Despite the weight of the material, I stayed cool all night and would say it's still great for a summer wedding/event. Although it's not stretchy, I was able to dance the night away in it without any issues. Wore a normal strapless bra without any issues, but found that seamless undies were a must to avoid a panty-line. Overall, it was a fantastic choice!!

This dress is super high quality. It worked perfectly for a formal cocktail wedding dress code. The fabric has a bit of stretch, so I could have fit into a size 0. It's also a bit longer than expected, hitting just below the knees. Great way to try out the latest ruffle trend!

Great dress--material is on the thicker side which makes it very forgiving.  The ruffle adds some great drama.  It runs pretty true to size, if anything slightly big.  So I would order your true size and one size smaller as your back-up--it just depends on how fitted you prefer to wear things.
