This dress made me feel so incredible. The dress does run small so size up. I was unable to wear a bra since it cuts in close, but no one could notice. This dress was the right amount of dressy for my husbands Christmas party. Rent it you will love it!

The color of this dress is amazing in person. Great dress for an October event. Compliments all night. I did size up from my normal street wear and it was a bit snug around my rib cage, but not enough for me to not wear it. If you're thinking about this dress, rent it. Totally worth it. 

Beautiful, rich color, quality, weighty knit fabric  and truly a gorgeous dress that runs VERY small. I sized up to a 4 and needed a 6. The front slit can be managed for a professional setting but isn't ideal. Be careful with limited give and a tighter neckline. 

Loved this dress. Other rtr users warned to pick a size up which I did and it fit perfectly. I normally wear a 4 or 6 and I wore the 8. It's tough to wear a bra with this dress because the halter makes the arm holes pretty big and you can see the bra. I didn't wear a bra and the fabric was thick enough that it wasn't a problem for me. 

I wore this for a work event. The dress got a lot of compliments. I typically wear a 4-6 and this 6 was a bit tight. 

Loved the color for a fall wedding. Runs a bit small - neck was a bit tight but was manageable. The front slit helps a lot but careful on stairs - if you have to do stairs, walk sideways ;)

Cut kind of small in the bust. Size up 2 sizes! 

I felt incredible in this dress. So put together and sexy without feeling like I was doing a "look at me" fashion statement.  Although, I did feel that way!  The color was so rich, material was thick.  I bought Spanx but didn't need it.  I used a strapless bra with one clear strap and made it into a halter bra, nothing showed and I had the bust support I wanted.

Hard to know if I wore the 6 or 8 as both were so similar.  One tag was missing and I tried them both on so many times. I think I wore the 8 because the rib area was bigger.  It fits like a pencil skirt so, baby strides!  Sexy, killer, confident knock out dress!  I would have posted more pics if it weren't for the need to resize for RTR. Oh, and noticed my mirror was dirty, not the dress.  



This was my backup dress so I didn't end up wearing it, but it is still very cute. This dress is very slimming but busty ladies be warned! It was a nightmare to pull on and off my DD- would recommend more for ladies with a smaller bust.

The fit was great! It fit like a glove, it's fabric was thick so it really sucks u in. #party #barmitzvah 

This dress is sexy, yet covered up, a little show of the leg while sitting down cross legged. It's gorgeous. RTR has it in this Royal Purple color as well. (rented both) LOVE the fit. Hippy girls - this is your dress.

I loved the fabric of this dress and the color is gorgeous! Im 5'8 and 180lbs and I wore the size 12. It is very form fitting! I have a large backside and was a little uncomfortable wearing such a form fitting dress to a wedding, but the length and high neckline made it feel more conservative. Loved this dress and would rent again!

Bery form fiting dress. I am 5'6'' and 110 lbs and wore a 0. It was tight but pretty. Material is thick so it was still very classy. Received lots of compliments! 

I wore this dress to a Christmas party. It was gorgeous!! The fit was so nice and it didn't show every curve. It was sexy but at the same time very classy. 

Great dress! Love the fit and fabric. Perfect for work.

Super fun dress! Got many compliments, and loved the high neck line. Is very form fitting, so I wore the next size up from my normal as I'm very busty and the 8 wasn't roomy enough in that area. 

I wore this dress for an interview and felt amazing wearing it. The fit is fabulous, and it is high quality. However, when I got home and when stepping out of the car, the dress ripped a little along the front seam. There's not much give in the material. Be gorgeous and be careful while wearing!! 

I love this dress. It fit mildly tight in the neck and just below the bust - but truly I would deal with that any day considering how great it looked. I typically wear a 2-4 occasionally a 6 as my behind is a little larger and I wore a 4 in this dress. The 6 fit a little more comfortably but had some odd wrinkles that I couldn't get out with my steamer. I will probably buy this. 

Form fitting and flattering but also work appropriate. Was a bit tight, though, so size up for back up.

Favorite rent the runway dress!! The size 8 fit perfectly. The color of the dress was gorgeous and I received a ton of compliments!! Will definitely rent again! 

Loved this dress! Perfect fit without being too tight!

I actually brought this to a wedding as backup because (gasp) I bought a dress from Asos. I ended up wearing the other but it was NOT as comfy as this. This brand is super comparable to Elizabeth and James (my fave) but a little more affordable. The plum color is even warmer and richer in person and fit like a glove. I can't wait to rent again and wear with full glam.

True to size but maybe a little snug. There's spandex. Gorgeous color, nice material. Modest enough for a sexy work dress or cocktails. Love! 

This dress is great! It was really classy and the color is gorgeous. Since I wore my hair up, it did get caught in the zipper a few times. I will rent this again!

Despite being super form fitting, I was still able to move and dance at the wedding I attended. The dress was true to size. It was slightly roomy in the chest, but I am 5'2" and a B-cup so I imagine for someone taller and/or bustier this wouldn't be an issue.

I wore this dress for a nice anniversary dinner date with my husband. It was comfortable and sexy while still being classy! I felt as though it was true to size. It was nice and tight so I didn't have to wear a bra...always a bonus but had enough stretch that it was comfortable. It does stay tight through the thighs so going up stairs and getting into cars was just slightly tricky. Color and neckline are both gorgeous!

Loved the color and the snug fit. The mock neck was beautiful and so was the slit. Fits true to size. 

I wore this for a formal affair, I weight about 96 pounds and my height is 5'1, the size 0 fit perfectly, the size 2 was not hugging my curves too much so it was not as effective for me. My only complain is that the neck part of the dress is a little tight and at times was distracting. Overall a beautiful dress. This was my first time ordering from this website and I was glad I did.

Loved this dress. Very classy. Definitely order one size up. 

This is my new FAVORITE work dress! I tried on a Size 4, but like other Likely dresses, this dress does run small. I think I would have been very happy in a Size 6 or maybe even a Size 8. This dress can be worn with a racerback bra or no bra at all comfortably. The material is thick and rich, but it is very plum in person, much more than in the photo. The dress was a really great length for my 5'4 frame!

It does run a bit small. I'm usually a 2-4 and had to size up to a 6. 

Work party! Was a little tight around the neck, but still was comfortable!

Love this sophisticated dress. It was perfect for a rehearsal dinner in December. Fabric is thick and hugs in all the right places. I was worried that the slit in the bottom would come up too high but it doesn't. I had trouble with my regular bra showing as the arm holes exposed a bit too much on the sides. Might work better with a strapless or no bra at all. Will definitely need a crisscross bra if you don't go strapless. Runs a bit small so size up one. Overall, loved it! 

Gorgeous and comfortable dress. Somewhat tight fitting, I wore a size up. Still incredibly gorgeous! 

I absolutely LOVED everything about this dress! It was true to size. The fabric on this dress was so forgiving, I didn't feel like I had to suck it in and hold my breath all night, it was extremely comfortable. I rented this dress for a bachelorette night in the city and it was perfect, you could dress it up or down depending on your choice of shoes and/or jacket.

I had a date straight after work so I rented this dress. Boy, am I glad I did. It was a little sexier than what I would normally wear to work but it certainly served both purposes. It was quite form fitting though so you might want to try one size up as a backup just in case. I got so many compliments all day! I felt so good about myself in this dress. Contemplated buying it!! Thanks again RTR!!

For true to size, loved the color and style for a winter event! 

Definitely size up! I usually wear a 4-6, ordered a 6, and it was still very tight! Super flattering, regardless. Love the color and the quality is fantastic. 

I wore this for a presentation at a medical conference in the spring! The overall fit of the dress was super flattering and I am a sucker for this plum color. Received compliments all day it :) Only issue is that the cut in the chest does not allow for a traditional bra, so plan on a strapless at the very least! 

Definitely runs small. I am between a 2 and a 4 but am usually a 2 because I'm short and dresses run long. For this dress, I couldn't even get the 2 on! I had to squeeze into the 4, but I think the 6 would have been too big. The good thing is that the fabric is thick and really tucks you in in all the right places. I wore this to a work gala and got compliments all night long. It does start to bunch up a bit in the hips if you're running around a lot (which I was) but it wasn't too big of an issue. Would be perfect if you're not planning to move much. Also for short ladies, it wasn't too long at all. 

I rented this for a work holiday party, wearing it to work first. It was conservative enough for the office, but effectively transitioned to the party. The dress was a little tight, with not too much give in the fabric. I would definitely recommend sizing up. I usually wear a size 8, and the 10 I ended up wearing was slightly tight (although not obnoxiously so). The color was a rich plum which made it perfect for a winter party. I wore it with a black cardigan, tights, and booties. The mock neck was a nice winter touch. 

Felt very classy yet sexy in this dress and got lots of compliments on the color. Overall size fit well. Was a little loose on the hips but fit great in the chest. The 6 probably would have been to tight in the chest. Overall comfortable to wear. 

Now I'm pretty sure Likely NYC is an American company, but sizing, as you can tell from other reviewers, follows UK sizing, where I tend to go up 2-3 sizes. For example, I'm generally a 2 in the US, but for UK clothing, I wear a 6 or 8. US sizing loves vanity. *shrug emoji* I rented a 4 and 6, but ended up wearing the 6.

I loved everything about this dress except it was a bit tight across my bust and rib cage. My coworker and I had to really work to get me in it, but once it was on OMG. I got so many compliments! The color is incredible and the fabric is thick so it holds you in. 

This was the perfect dress for a winter wedding. The material is thick, and a beautiful deep color. The 4 gapped a little at the back of my waist, but after a night of eating and dancing, it made the dress a bit more comfortable. My only regret is that I didn't wear spanx! Being 5'4, but with a longer torso and shorter legs, the dress hit right around the bottom of my knee. I'd definitely rent this dress again!

Pros: flattering fabric and very classy. Slit is comfortable.
Cons: very tight fit on upper waist. Smallest part of my waist measures 32in. I barely got into a size 10. I felt like it was a corset, but it was comfortable enough to wear out. 
Last con is the low cut of the armpit area.

Works best with a racerback and definitely go one or two sizes up.

This dress was an absolutely perfect fit for a rehearsal dinner. I wore the size 8, which was pretty tight on me, and could've definitely worn the 10 and been great (the backup size wasn't available). But I still loved the dress and received tons of compliments. 

Runs pretty small, would go a size up. The length & color were perfect and I'm pretty tall. Wore a halter bra and it worked perfect. Received so many compliments and it was super slimming

Loved the dress! Great quality material and flattering cut. I usually have a hard time finding dresses small enough for me but this size zero was pretty snug, so you may want to size up for your back up size.

I rented this to wear to a fall rehearsal dinner and loved it! I typically wear a size 4 but based on other reviews sized up to a 6. Even the 6 was a little snug, especially around the neck, but it was still comfortable and I felt great in it! Would definitely rent again. 

 One thing to note, if you have hips and sit in this dress- the slit in the dress slightly unravels. 

This outfit compliments all of my attributes nicely.  Great for a social event.
