Elevated long black gown! Endless complements. Needed some boob tape. 

Tip a bit loose but overall true to size. Would recommend to anyone, got tons of compliments! Material is comfortable and flattering without being too tight. 

I love this dress so much! It was perfect for a roaring twenties themed gala. It is LOW, so I used tape to keep it closed higher up. It was comfortable for dancing. 

This dress fits well - just makes wearing a bra impossible so a little loose in the front if you don't have e a big chest. But flattering - and the polka dot lace overlay is a more interesting touch in person (though not in pics).

lots of compliments! perfect length for a short girl in heels. def need fashion tape to avoid boob spillage as many other reviews state.

I felt so stunning in this dress! It hugged my body in all the right spots and the mesh overlay hid any of my insecurities. It would have been perfect had the straps not been so large. It is already a busty dress but the large straps made it difficult to stay covered. Requires a lot of clothing tape! Even still I would rent again. I also loved the length. I’m 5’2 and it was perfect with 2 inch heels which NEVER happens! I got compliments all night. Highly recommend!!! 

I can’t recommend this dress enough!! Very comfortable! I tend to get bloated after I eat, but you would have never known with this dress! I usually shy away from deep v’s, but decided to give this one a go and I’m so happy I did! Just to be on the safe side, I used double-sided tape to ensure nothing was exposed as I was sitting down or dancing. As some people recommended in the reviews, I ordered the SR and SL. Surprisingly, I didn’t notice much of a difference in length, I just noticed that the SL was a slightly looser fit. 

Absolutely stunning, best wedding dress I’ve ever worn!!

I am wearing the medium. 15 weeks pregnant, so weighing more. The black inside part of the dress is skin tight. The front of the dress is so low cut that when you sit down you have to be careful. Standing up was fine. Used free tape but it’s a thicker dress so it did not stay closed as good as I wanted it to. It was very elegant. 

Definitely recommend purchasing fabric tape to keep the top/ low cut area in place. Overall comfortable and I felt good in the dress. 

wore this for a black tie wedding - it fit well and didn't gap at all when I sat down (I didn't even need fashion tape, despite being pretty small in the chest department). the only thing I didn't like was the sleeve, but I tucked it in and it looked fine!

I did have to use safety pins and boob tape. I got a lot of compliments on the dress. I love the material and would rent again. The length was perfect. I wore high heels.

I absolutely loved this dress! It fit perfectly, though I would recommend having garment tape to prevent any potential slips. Without it, I think I would have revealed too much if I so much as slouched. But overall, such a flattering dress with some Hollywood glam vibes.

Absolutely runs a little on the shorter side. I couldn’t wear platformed heels, but regular heels were fine!

Such a pretty dress! The low cut back and the tulle were my favorite parts! Not long enough on me to wear with heels though and I kept pulling in it to be a bit longer. Zipped me up in the right places! 

This was my first rental with RTR and I was so pleased with how the dress fit. I am small chested (34B/32C) and was worried I wouldn’t fill it out enough. With fashion tape the dress fit wonderfully, my mother in law wasn’t too happy with the low cut so some may want to pin it up in the middle. I just turned a little more sideways in the picture and pulled the tule over, seemed to work well enough. The material underneath is very thick yet tight which made me feel curvy when I’m usually a plank. 

I rented the L & XL for a Mardi Gras ball. The XL was unavailable. The L fit just right in all
The right spots. It is super low cut. Hey you some fashion tape. My only complaint was that it was a tad bit short but there weren’t any longs available. 

I loved this dress!! I certainly felt confident and the scrunched up area near the tummy helped hide my unflattering sides. The only downside was the shoulders area fit me a tad big along with the breast. I ended up wearing a bra. One photo is with sandals and the other with heels. 

This dress was exactly the vibe I wanted to wear for a wedding. I wish I had known how deep the V is in the front, but you live and you learn! My one complaint is I felt like the arm holes were almost too small and didn't have any give (which the rest of the dress does), so I could feel them slipping off my shoulders occasionally. I got many compliments on the dress, and I felt sexy and secure enough that I wasn't worried that eating a lot would make me look bloated in photos. I would wear this look again!

I wore the large and it fit beautifully. I received so many compliments that night. 

I received so many compliments on this dress. I wore it for NYE and it was comfortable and the draping hugged my body perfectly. The only thing I would say is that the top was a little large and I had to fashion tape the straps. Other than that, love! 

Beautiful dress! I am 5’9 and typically a size 8. I found the large king to fit best but the ML fit very similar. I am fuller through the hip and thigh so it ran snug in that area and larger in the top. I had to use tape to keep the busy area down (34B) for reference. But it’s stunning on!

I received two dresses (one regular, one petite) but to be honest I think they were the same dress.  There was literally no fit/length difference but it worked!  

The only concern I had was the top was a bit loose on me so I ended up placing a safety pin to  avoid any wardrobe malfunctions 😉.  Double sided wardrobe tape would have been a wiser choice.  

Received a ton of complements and confidently danced the night away.  

Worn to black tie optional wedding. The dress is super comfortable and super forgiving. I felt it hugged my curves in the right places, and the cinching in the middle was forgiving on the midsection. Definitely recommend the dress. 

I rented this dress for a wedding and was very pleasantly surprised by how flattering it was! It fit like a glove and accentuated all the right areas. It wasn’t the easiest dress to wear due to the straps not staying in place and slight gaping around the chest. It was also a bit short - it showed my feet even without heels on. Overall, it was gorgeous and made me feel very confident. I received tons of compliments all night. Would rent again! 

Loved this dress BUT just a note that if you have “unruly” boobies like me, you’ll want to invest in a huge pack of fashion tape! 

I felt so beautiful in this dress!  Wore it for an October wedding and with the pashmina it was just right 
Got so many compliments all night
Needed some dress tape for the front but other than that it was perfect! 10/10

Absolutely loved this dress. Extremely comfortable, fit like a glove. I am 5’4” and got a medium in the dress with 3 inch heels. Very classy look!

I ended up using tape at the V line as well as shoulders or else I was sure to give a show. I like to spend a lot of time on the dance floor and this was necessary. It’s pretty fit all the way down to the ankles which makes it a little difficult to walk up and down stairs with heels on. I got a long bar necklace which went perfectly with the front. Very happy with this dress!

I wore this for a photo shoot and felt like a modern Greek goddess.  It was comfortable and forgiving but also very dramatic, perfect for making a statement.

Super comfortable and got compliments all night long! Recommend fashion tape to keep any fashion mishaps at bay.

I was surprised the medium fit me at 16 weeks pregnant but I was super comfortable and supported! Loads of compliments, especially for the tulle detailing over the whole dress. 

I *loved* this gown: I felt amazing in it and got a ton of compliments. The lace overlay and sleeve make this black gown feel special. Note that the front is cut VERY low though, too low for the event i was attending so I had to pin the front to make it less plunging. 

I was between the medium and small and I ended up wearing the small. The shoulders were a little loose but with a safety pin and some tape it looked great! 

Love the petite fit did not step on dress at all or have to wear crazy high heels to avoid this. Bra is def not option with low back and front but was fine!

This dress was perfect! It fit me very well, was comfortable to wear the whole night, and I got tons of compliments on it (which is always a bonus). Highly recommend :)

I loved this dress, I got it as a backup but it really surprised me. The waist cinched in in a super flattering way and the one sleeve detail was great. I ended up going for a different option for the event but this was a close contender. I would definitely need a lot of dress tape to hold the shoulders on and keep the bust area in place. Only thing is that regular was a tad short for me (5'5), could see my feet without heels on.

I wore this to an Oscar-themed auction event for the school where I work, so my priorities were to look stylish and professional yet still be comfortable. This dress was perfect on all fronts. Since it was a school event, I did tape the front a bit to provide more coverage. But I wouldn't have done that under other circumstances. I received many compliments on the dress– people loved the one-shoulder detail. 

Gorgeous dress, received so many compliments. Double sided tape is definitely recommended. I'm usually about a size 6, and a size small fit perfectly. 

I loved this dress! The straps were a little loose but overall it was a great fit.  Boob tape was a must.  Would rent again!
