This dress looked gorgeous on, but like others reviewed, this dress was incredibly hard to move in. I couldn't reach my arms overhead & my dancing was more like swaying :) But! It sure looked great!

It fit perfectly.

Fit well and is so easy to accessorize!

I'm a 4/6 but would have needed an 8/10 in this little number. Gorgeous dress but I couldn't even get the zipper of the 6 past my waist. Back in the bag!

I received this dress when my original dress was returned too damaged to be worn. This dress is classic and elegant. I ended up wearing the other dress in my shipment because I liked it just a tad more but I would have been very happy with this dress if I hadn't had the other one. The customer service for this dress was above and beyond. I was disappointed when my original dress was unavailable however, they made the replacement process so easy. I had no doubt that they would find me something fabulous and they did. They even shipped it straight to my hotel!

I have wide ribs, so even though I have pretty small breasts (B cup), it is very hard to fit a lot of dresses in my chest area. This dress was fine in the hips and waist, but I just couldn't get it to zip up past my chest. Unfortunately, even the backup size was too small, so I was unable to wear the dress. The sleeves are just beautiful! The material of the dress is pretty thick.

I rented this for a wedding, so many people complimented me on this dress. Not anything I would ever have tried on in a store. So glad I rented it. I needed to use an extender for the back band of my bra to bring it lower under the cut of the dress, other than that I was able to wear a normal black bra and it was fine. Very flattering on my hip heavy hourglass figure. Perfect length even though I'm short. My husband bragged about RTR all night. There was one other woman at the wedding who uses RTR so we compared notes. I'll have to post a picture later, I have to get one from a friend, I forgot to take one. I also rented the earrings and bracelet that were recommended, those were fun also.

The dress is pretty but when I tried the 6, my regular size, the zipper could not go farther than mid way up the back. The 8 was not much better. I have never had this happen before. I have rented before from RTR and the sizes have always been fine.

I had a women's event fundraiser and it was a hit. I got complements all night on the fit, the tulle on the sleeves and how it v-ed in the back. This was my first rental and I loved it! I also rented the earrings in the pic too!

This dress was so pretty and feminine in person, it was a great rental. After reading reviews I rented a size up and I am very glad I did. The dress runs small in the ribcage area and a size up was comfortable and not too tight. I did have a major problem with the zipper, it would not zip up! This was not because of the size, even on the hanger it would not zip, it was just sticky from a lot of dry cleaning. I attached a bracelet to the zipper and was then able to get enough leverage to zip it up while on, even though the fabric overlapped with plenty of room. I also had a problem with the boning poking through the lining and poking me by the end of the night. It was a great rental and from the outside the dress did not appear to be very worn, but it clearly had seen some wear and tear on the inside. Overall it was a great dress that did not require a bra which was a bonus. Very structured yet appeared very feminine. A great rental with a few adjustments!

Everything about this dress was just breathtaking. I went to a gala in it and although I wasn't a key person there I felt as if I was. A few people even came over to me to find out who I was lol. My only small issue with the dress is that the tulle on the sleeves were a bit large but didn't make it too awkward. None the less, nothing a little safety pin or double sided tape couldn't fix. I also have unusually skinny arms. The dress was a success otherwise. Will definitely rent again.

cute lbd but too small on me so did not wear.

I wore this dress for my engagement photo shoot and it looked great in the photos. The waist fit pretty small and was unflattering in the stomach area for me. As soon as I wore a corset underneath it was a lot better. The sleeves were always coming down and made it really hard to lift my arms. I even had to ask my Fiancee to put my shoes on because I couldn't reach down, lol. I would recommend renting one in your normal size and one size up. Also, I would not wear this one if you have a lot of moving or dancing at your event. I tried to wear it dancing that same weekend, but there was not way my arms were going to be able to move enough.

I would recommend this dress, it was very fun to wear, however it does hug your figure and run a little small!

I generally wear a size 12 but really could have benefited from a size up in this dress. Since 12 is the largest available, I tried to just suck it up, literally. I wore spanx and still had to tug on the dress throughout the evening. The sleeves were a fun feature and made me less self conscience of my less than perfectly toned arms. I wouldn't wear it again but it would be a great dress for ladies with a 29 or lower waistline. Good news is I had no problems with the bust

Same as above.

Form fitting. The material has a bit of stretch, so it hugged my curves nicely and didn't look too tight. The sleeves were a bit awkward, but worth it because the dress was so gorgeous. I would highly recommend this dress!

This dress was amazing and very beautiful I had changed my order bc I had gained a little during my injury and I wanted to be safe with the dress sizes. Well the sent me a 12 but for some reason this 12 didn't fit but a 12 I wore got another fit perfect. I was a little sad bc I loved this dress. I will probably re rent this again when I trim down.

I wanted to wear this originally, but they didn't have an 8 available. The 6 though, fit way way too small so it runs a little small. The sleeves were surprisingly not itchy and the top was perfect for a more conservative wedding. Looking for a chance to wear this dress in the future.

I received so many compliments on this dress. I think it is a great balance between a simple black dress, and something just a bit different. I am only 5'2", so this dress hit at the bottom of my knees. I was a bit worried about the length at first, but ultimately, embraced the classiness. My only compliant, is that the sleeves were a huge pain. They are so beautiful but fell down the entire night. I had actually put a stitch in them to help keep them together a bit, and it was still a pain. Looks good in photos though..

fun

Challenging if you like to put your arms in the air while dancing... but overall great!

The arms would keep slipping and felt a tad loose, but I think if someone was less animated while talking/dancing that wouldn't be a problem. Other than that, this was a killer dress. 10/10 would wear again.

I rented this dress as my first choice, but did not end up wearing it because the tulle sleeves kept sliding down, making the dress look frumpy. Otherwise, the dress looks great- but I just couldn't make it work!

Runs a little small, but was great for my event. The tulle sleeves didn't stay up as well as I expected and unfortunately some of the boning in the corset was poking through the dress. However, the wonderful stylists at RTR remedied that with a special credit to my account! Helpful as always.

I thought this dress was really pretty. i wore it for a country club black tie event on the beach. cons: sleeves didnt stay up that well and it was a bit hard to dance. it was also a bit longer than i would have hoped but other than that it fit great, everyone had lots of compliments and pictures came out fabulous!

No size inside dress to confirm whether it was the right size and the two sizes sent seemed to fit about the same. I could not breathe it was so tight across my chest and in the hips. I could not get it hooked in the back. I wore the backup dress I'd ordered.

I wore the dress to a charity gala. The dress was a little tough to move my arms, but luckily I had my sweet husband to fetch everything that I was unable to reach. I felt a little confined, but I was happy that I didn't have to be concerned with showing too much. The guests included Senators and community leaders, as well as celebrities, so I didn't want to be worried about too much cleavage or a short skirt. This dress was elegant and perfect for my event. I would suggest it for a wedding or formal event for women who are not so comfortable exposing too much and women over 40.

The dress is elegant and very-well put together. The fabric is very thick, lined, and has great tailoring at the top runching and the waist line. I recieved so many compliments on the dress- it does cinch at the waist and skim the hips perfectly. Unlike the description, the waist is NOT stretchy at all. Be aware, if you have a large ribcage, this is a very tight close. While the dress fit great thru my waist and hips, despite only a 36B, I nearly gave up on this dress as the last 3 inches on the zipper did not go easy. For the negatives, the boning is intense on the front. While it will form and contour your body without Spanx-type undergarments, I still reccomend them to keep the bones from poking into your bare skin all night. You'll have great posture, but bending the torso is quite constrained. Don't expect to be able to raise your arms. Pratice the t-rex arm motions. Although if you really need to raise them, it's quite easy to slip out of the tulle sleeves and the boning still holds the dress in place perfectly. (Fixing hair in the bathroom, etc).

Fit true to size. Just hard to lift your hands up with the sleeves.

I actually rented this specifically for my mother-in-law's funeral. It was perfect, classy, and statement worthy. Now that may sound horrible, but considering the circumstances and events prior to, at that current time, and still going on now... it was worth it and most definitely needed. I rented 6 with my 10. The 6 would have felt wonderfully if I would have been able to zip the last inch up (chest was snug but not exposed). The 10 was slightly baggy but not to the point that it felt like a sack...it didn't gap to bad but the tulle for the "sleeves" were a little...confining, especially when you were hugging people. That would be my only beef about the dress- the sleeves. It was comfortable enough to be able to jump on a trampoline with my 7 year old right before the wake. I received A LOT of compliments and I felt very confident in it. A good "go to" little black dress for any occasion, I believe.

The dress fit perfectly although it was slightly short-waisted for me (I'm 5'11"). Since the fabric is fairly substantial, I did not need a bra or any special undergarments. As other reviewers have noted, the sleeves do slide down your arms at times - but I wore this dress for about 7 hours and it really wan't an issue. This was my first rental - I had the dress shipped directly to my hotel so I was a bit nervous. Everything went perfectly and I will definitely rent again!

The body portion fit perfectly, but the sheer sleeves were very big/loose. I had to pin them to fit my shoulder and stay in place.

I normally wear an 8, but this dress was very fitted, and a little tight in the hips. The top fit fine, but I would recommend getting a size up for your additional size.

But, neither the 6 or the 8 fit me. It was too big in the top and the 6 was more like a 4 on the bottom. The 8 top was way too big on the top and the bottom still didn't fit me right. Didn't work out for me.

Nothing specific to say here.

This dress runs a true size down - I ordered the 6 and it fit just like a 4. It looks nice and I received compliments, but there were some issues. The boning inside the dress was popping out and it stabbed me like 2 needles - very uncomfortable. The tuile on the arms was cute, but didn't stay up and ended up just falling around my arms. I wore a strapless bra and that helped hold the dress up. Without it, the dress would have fallen down. It is a modest dress. I am 5'10 and it was to my knees. The last issue is with the tuile on the arms, you cannot lift your arms to do anything - like but your hair back. That was very frustrating. Wouldn't rent this again, but it was fine for the occasion (black tie optional wedding.)

Boning was ripping out and piercing my skin

The sleeves absolutely did not work for me. They didn't stay up at all. Maybe if you have broader shoulders it would work better? Beautiful dress but I didn't wear it.

Loved this dress, though the torso runs a bit small. Very elegant!
