The fabric on this dress is so comfortable, stretch and flattering and the fit was just beautiful!  I preferred it with the straps off my shoulders but it can be worn either way.  I don't think I've ever received so many compliments on a dress before!  

I'm in love with this dress. The fit is amazing and the detailing makes it really special. The slit wasn't very high, it came to about my knee which is modest for me. The center back piecing bunched up a bit on me but that's due to my height, if this were a petite and not a regular it would have been fine. The fabric is substantial but not too heavy and I felt comfortable all night long. Received a lot of compliments on my look!

Super comfortable dress, runs big because of the stretch. Pros - comfort, no bra needed, sexy back. Cons - no real wow factor and the back bunched up oddly. It was an ok dress but I wore something else that was a bit flashier.

Loved this dress! Got so many compliments on it all night! It was really comfortable and fitted in all the right places! Would totally wear this again! 

This dress was an absolute hit! Everyone absolutely loved it, and it fit like a glove. I felt gorgeous. It was very slimming. A little too long (I’m 5’4”) but was okay with some big heels. It’s unique and perfect. The only problem was the neck. I was sitting and standing a lot during the party, and the neck would slip up and start choking me. I had to adjust it frequently. 

The front and side looked great but the back is very open and your back fat will show. I'm 5'9, 190lbs, size 12/14 pant, size L shirt, small boobs, big butt. 

This was my first time getting from RTR and I'm so happy.  The dress fit me like a glove and I got so many compliments.  I got the long because the regular length wasn't available. It was a little long for me, but with heels worked fine.  

First, the back of this dress is so sexy, and the slit is tasteful yet beautiful. I had strangers approach me and compliment it. But here's the kicker: It was incredible comfortable! Thick fabric fell perfectly over my body. Can't recommend enough. 

I wish I  could own this dress. It was amazing and I got so many compliments from people of all ages. It was gorgeous. I would definitely rent it again 

The dress for really well over all. The back was a little loose and the fabric around the waist was also a little looser than I would have liked. I wore this dress for a murder mystery party.

This dress is so comfortable! The fabric has some stretch so its not cumbersome at all. I just love the back of the dress. I received many compliments!

Lots of compliments, esp on the back of the dress. Somewhat stretchy material allows you to move. I am 5'5" and it hit right at the ground with heels. 

I loved this dress! It was a little snug around the hips, but I was still able to move around and dance. You have to hike the skirt up a bit when you sit, or that high neckline pulls on your neck a bit, but it wasn't too much of an inconvenience.

The material is thick which is really flattering, but it got VERY toasty outside for a June wedding. 

The way the slit appears in the photo, I was a little concerned it would show a lot of skin, but it really didn't. It was gorgeous and I would definitely rent it again!

This was very form fitting but comfortable & stretchy.  The petite was a great length for me.  Back bunched a bit but still looked good!  Front slits are pretty high so make sure your shoes are a good match.  

Ordered a size larger which was a good call! 

I ordered the 0 and 2... Wore the 2.
Best RTR dress ever!  Wore this for a formal work event.  It's sexy but appropriate and fit like a glove.  I felt like a million bucks.  I've rented many times and this is by far my favorite.

very comfortable, stretchy fabric, fit very well no need for alterations or hemming, beautiful gown, a little tight on the neck when I would sit down but not too bad. the length was great. I'm 5'3'' and  weigh about 115, my bust is 32B, I'm an hourglass figure.

I rented this dress for my husband's black tie work gala. This dress was tight in all the right areas. I loved the back cut outs and because of straight across panel in the back I was able to wear a regular strapless bra. The neck was slightly snug while sitting but not too bad. I feel sexy and like a million bucks all night. I would rent this again!

The strappy back was the icing on the cake! I wore 4 in heels which top off the look and was perfect for the length of the dress. Despite the hugging nature of the dress it was very comfortable! Would def recommend!!

This was by far my favorite dress I've ever worn. I was so nervous it wouldn't work because it would show my back fat. Yes, it did show a little, but the dress itself was so stunning, that it was very easy to ignore. 
It fit like a glove. And it was so comfortable! It was the perfect length with my 2-3 inch heels. I could've worn higher heels, but chose not to. 
Best part was, I didn't need to wear a bra! 

Wore this for a gala and received compliments the whole night! Have worn this designer before and he knows curves on a woman!! So comfortable too. I'm 5'6 & 145 lbs and wore the 6R with about 3 in heels. #galadress #blackdress

The fit was almost perfect. I think my torso needed to be just a little longer to make it just right. The fabric along the back zipper didn't lay completely flat but it wasn't exaggerated. It is a beautiful dress!

Gorgeous concept, poor fit on the straps being too big. The Back gaped so much I couldn't wear this.  I love the gown but these straps were entirely too long they buckled up.    I sized up from the reviews. Maybe that was the mistake.  

I'm tall. 5'10". I wore a size 10. It was too short, but still looked fab. It was also a bit big around the waist. Stretchy fabric. Comfy. Also rented the earrings and cuff bracelet in photo. Was awesome!

I rented this for my husband's company party. It was so pretty! I weigh about 120 and I normally wear a 2, which is what I rented. It was comfortable to wear, though it was a little tight on the thighs so I had to keep pulling it down to adjust. The material was thick so it was nice in Chicago winter. I've had this dress on my wish list for ages and I'm glad I finally rented it. I'm 5'1"ish and it was long - there were no other sizes available - but I wore heels & it was good to go. Definitely recommend. 

I absolutely LOVED this dress!  I have never felt more sexy in my life!  I fluctuate between a 10/12 but this was a tight 12.  I would wear this dress again in a heartbeat!

This was actually my back up dress and I loved it! I got so many compliments on it! I normally wear a 2P, so the 0 was just a little tighter than I wanted, but I made it work. The size 2 dress I had was just a little bit too long for the amount of walking that I had to do, which is why I went with this one. The back was beautiful and the slit helped make it easier to walk in. Would definitely use again!

Perfect dress for an evening gala for work. The fabric is amazing with just enough stretch. It was true to size, but I am 5'6" and ordered the long to wear with 3 inch heels - it was the perfect length. The back and neckline are the coolest things about this dress, but every part of it is amazing. Didn't want to take it off!

I rented this dress specifically for an NYC black tie wedding.  I wanted something that was elegant but modern.  I ended up getting the long because I'm on the taller side (5'7") and was going to wear 4" heels.  I'm so glad I did!  I think the regular or petite would have been too short for me.  This dress could not have fit any better!  I LOVED the side slit.  It made walking in this dress that much easier and more comfortable. I received so many compliments on this dress from strangers (hello NYC) and wedding guests alike!  The cage like detailing on the front and back was sublime and so modern.  I would definitely rent this dress again!

I am 5'7", 110 lbs., 32A cup, and have a slender frame.  I wore 4" heels with the long option.

Curve hugging, and a bit unforgiving in the lower ab area, but I got compliments all night, and even the next week! Sexy, but classy!

I usually wear a 6 but the 4R was great!  It is tight enough that I didn't have to wear a bra.  Great length.  It made me feel so beautiful.  Highly recommend this dress for a formal affair.  

Length was just right, a little on the long side. No problems walking in the dress with heels. I didn't even bother trying the 8. The 6 fit like it was made for me. Very comfortable, great material, had some stretch. 

I couldn't believe how comfy this dress was! I got so many compliments!

This was a replacement dress that RTR really impressed me with!  The length was a little long, but my backup (10R), was too short...not too small, though.  Either size was very comfortable.  No issues that others had with the back going too low.  I chose to wear a sticky bra, but it wasn't a requirement.  Great Dress!

I rented this dress for one of my best friend's wedding and it did not disappoint. It hugged me in all the right places and made me feel so beautiful.
