I'm a true size 6 and this was perfect! I'm 5'8 and with heels it was a little bit off the ground with the heels on. The fit was great and super comfortable 

I wanted to wear this so so bad! It was the perfect dress for the black tie work event I was attending.  But I could tell I’d be pulling up the top the whole night. I have a smaller rib cage but still a D cup and I just could not get the dress to stay put. 

I wore this to the symphony and felt like a million bucks!! Perfect choice for anything black tie.

I didn’t end up wearing this dress but it was a great second option. I ordered the long which was a little long with heels.

This was SO fun and comfortable to wear for an all-day event! I am a true size 12 and I wish I had sized down to the 10L, though. The top is very big. I have a straight waist and the 12 still wasn't tight enough in the waist to hold it up despite the boning, so I had to pull it up quite a bit on the dance floor towards the end of the night. I'm 5'10" and wore a 3.5" heel and the 12L was borderline too long, so don't be afraid to rent the regular size if it's available! 

Could not have loved this dress more. Wore for an East Coast black tie wedding and felt sexy and elegant at the same time. 

Loved this dress. Runs a little big in chest. Fun twist on classic dress.

Stunning dress, simple yet sophisticated. A little loose in the chest but overall loved it.

This did not make the cute for the new years Eve wedding but it was my second choice! It was extremely flattering and fun as a "ladies tuxedo" vibe. Definitely needed a sticky bra to really make it work for the girls because without it they sort of just get pushed down and out.

I’m obsessed with this dress!!! I’m almost 5’10 and it was long enough with heels on. Got so many compliments and it was comfortable.

I debated between this one and another. Ended up wearing the other one cause it was more comfortable.  This one has a corset type thing so felt constricting but very beautiful. 

The 10L fit perfect even at 5’10 with 3 inch heels 

Wore it to a formal wedding. Was not black tie but could definitely be worn to a black tie event! 

I rented this for a New Year’s Day wedding and unfortunately, my boyfriend got sick so we were not able to attend the wedding. 

However, we decided to spend NYE wearing the outfits we planned and this dress was great! 

I’m 5’8” and the 2R was the perfect length. 
This dress was pretty comfortable and I felt elegant wearing it. I would definitely rent this again - I’d love to wear it out of the house! 

I ultimately chose a different dress but would rent this one again! 

So many compliments - even from the bride. Worn to a formal evening wedding and it was perfect. This was a backup order that worked out (my original picks didn’t fit and I hated) so RTR was able to send me 3 extra options. I went with the 8R but the 6R probably would have been the best fit as by the end of the night I had to keep pulling it up. If I had the 6R I wouldn’t have had to wear anything under either as there is boning in the top. Wore 4 inch heels until the heels broke 🫠 but they were the perfect height 

Loved this dress but it ended up being my back up because I wanted a bit more pizazz. Great structure and fit my body perfectly. One con is it’s a little heavy. Would rent again for a formal affair where I want to blend in. 

This dress was incredible.
Fit like a glove. I received compliments on it all night. There was nothing I needed to do or change about this dress. It was just perfect.
I wish I could wear it again.

I’ve had my eye on this dress for a while and finally rented for my moms wedding. Overall I liked it, fit nicely throughout however runs big in the chest. 

I prefer a 4, but can wear a 2 which is all they had and wore. I was not comfortable when I first tried it on up top because I have boobs. Second time a little better. Third and final ready to go. No bra or spanx or “help”. Slit is absolutely fine. Dress is LONG - even with 4” heels I stepped on it and had to be careful. But everyone loved it. Would
Prefer bigger for my chest but we made it work! Easy to sit in too. 

This dress is 100% better in person. I attended a black tie wedding of an extremely opinionated groom and decided it was best to let him choose my dress. I was super reluctant but in the end so happy with this dress and received an uncomfortable amount of compliments! 

Classic dress perfect for a black tie event. Dress was in good condition and easy to iron once out of the packaging. I typically wear a 6 for all my clothes and the 6 worked great here too. No boning at the top so I wore a bra underneath to ensure that it didn’t slip down. Would wear it again.

So many complements on this dress. I’m normally a 14 but ordered the 16 long. The length was great, fabric has a bit of stretch in it, the top was a little big but stayed in place well.

I enjoyed wearing this dress for a black tie optional wedding and it felt super chic and sophisticated with a little edgy-ness. It was little on the short side with my heels but not very noticeable. I am 5'10" and 125lbs. 

I wore this to a black tie wedding and received sooo many compliments on it! The only thing to look out for is the bust - it’s very structured which was great because I didn’t have to wear a bra, but I did have to pull it up a few times. If you have a big bust like I do, you’re gonna look great in it but your chest will be shown off a bit, and make sure to size up! 

This dress was everything, from the perfect length to not needing to west a bra! The navy blue with black in the front made it look so classy. It was beyond comfortable to dance in all night!

Rented this for a formal event and it was the perfect dress! It was comfortable and true to size, I loved wearing it!

I loved this dress, it fit amazing and was extremely flattering. 

Wore to a black tie wedding and got many compliments. Was nervous about length but the petite worked out perfectly. Dress was so comfortable and flattering. Definitely recommend! 

I wore this to a black tie wedding. It's a beautiful dress but it was TINY, especially in the chest and stomach. I wish I had sized up to a 4. Otherwise, no complaints at all! It was a perfect length and I got compliments all night long. Do not hesitate on this one!

Amazing dress. Very basic, easy to wear, and looks the same in person and in photos. I'm 5'4", 120 lb, 34B. The 2 was slightly too big and kept falling down - would rent the 0 next time. 

I absolutely loved wearing this dress. It fit securely in the bust and the lines accentuated the waistlines beautifully. Perfect for a black tie wedding.

Dress was gorgeous and so fun to wear to a black tie wedding. I usually wear a size 4 but only a 2 was available and based on reviews I went for it and it fit like a glove so I would maybe size down from your regular size. I wore pasty boobs and it worked fine but I am small chested. Was sad to return it! 

I ended up wearing the other dress I ordered but I still loved this one so am leaving a review! I got the 14 and the 12 and the 14 was way too big in the bust. The 12 fit my bust well but was a little tight in the hips. It's stretchy though so definitely size down in you're unsure! 

Rented this for a black tie wedding, I was hoping this had more of a impact but it was nice. Formal enough for black tie but can also be worn for a less formal wedding. Runs big! I'm 5'5 139lb (4in heels were perfect) but the bust and ribs run large. I had to pad my bra 2 sizes and it was still not enough (I'm a 34C) 

This dress fit like a glove. The 2P was a perfect length with 4" heels on my 5'1 frame.
