Cute and comfortable
This dress was easy to move in- probably could have sized down, but the extra room made it all the more comfy. Got a lot of compliments on the asymmetrical silhouette. Great dress.

Loved the dress!
The dress fits great-true to size. Normally wear a 4 but also got a 6 just in case- fit was similar in both but for a cocktail event out on the town opted for the 6 for comfort and it was a little bit longer. Flattering dress and its very comfortable too. Got lots of compliments.

The dress fit great, but was a tad short. I a 5'7" and I had to be careful if I bent over. Overall, it was a cute dress for a company holiday party!

Fabulous Party LBD
This dress was incredibly feminine, lightweight, easy to dance in, and all around gorgeous! I felt so sophisticated and comfortable, especially since the 10 (my usual size) was plenty roomy, maybe even too big. The one sleeved definitely made it more glamorous than your typical black strapless minidress. I would totally rent this again and recommend it to anyone.

Perfect LBD for my senior fashion show!
I wore this to my college's fashion show that my senior collection was in. It was very different than my collection and the black color helped everything else stand out. Also, the black Lilly Pulitzer was a choice made I specifically on account of her death (that woman was wonderful). The fit was looser up top than expected, but I tend to have the problem since I carry my weight in my hips and thighs. It was comfortable from the waist down and did not show my stomach. I am rather short, and when sitting I had to be careful - just a warning! It didn't bother me though. I would probably go far enough to buy this dress.

perfect for my sorority dance
It was a little larger than I was hoping - but with some fashion tape, it worked perfectly. It may have just been me ordering the wrong size at the time... but it ended up working out really well. I got so many compliments on this sassy dress and I definitely intend to order it again!

Loved the one shoulder
It was cute! But was too large in the bust and wouldn't stay up. So I didn't get to wear this dress. But I rented it as my back up dress, so I had something to wear!

the dress fit great and looked great. Perfect for a bachelorette party.
The dress was very short, especially since I'm 5'9". I wore it with tights though, so I felt more comfortable. The sleeve was short too, but I was wearing bracelets, so it actually helped show them off.

Sexy, Classy, and completely true to size!!
This dress was absolutely amazing. I wish I owned it! It was so incredibly comfortable, lightweight, and completely sexy! It was a tad shorter than I expected, but not too short. I usually wear a size 4 in all dresses, so I took a risk and this dress was awesome. I got so many compliments on it! Love it!

In one of NYC's prime dining spots, the maitre d' stopped me to tell me how beautiful my dress was!
I was worried the dress would be small so I got two sizes, but I found this dress true to size. Just because of my shape, it was a little tight in the bust and loose in the waist (it didn't nip in the way it does on the model, but since I don't have her figure either, I won't complain!) but I was very pleased with it, and so was my husband!

I wore this dress for my birthday. I ordered a size 2 and 4, ended up wearing the 2 which was more flattering. I wore the dress with black tights and mary janes.

A fun formal dress that fit the occasion (and my body) perfectly
Pros: good color, showed off the legs, fun to pair with jewelry, true to size, fit my weirdo body
Cons: I wish it was a different material that maybe fit tighter around the waist
I would recommend wearing spanx!

This dress is great for any occasion! Classy, but still different...I'd definitely recommend it!
I usually have a hard time finding dresses that are small enough in the waist and large enough in the hips, but this dress fits like a glove. It just skims over your waist and hips to show off your figure while still being classy and comfy. The detail sleeve is an interesting twist on the classic LBD, so it definitely stands out. The only issue might be that it is kinda short, so no bending over, but other than that, it's a great dress that runs true to size and is great for a wide variety of occasions!

Such an easy process. Dress was gorgeous.
I usually wear either a 2 or a 4 depending on the dress. With this dress I wore the 4 because, although the 2 fit very well throughout the body, it was too short for the occasion. The dress is amazing, extremely flattering and comfortable. Not once was I worried about keeping myself covered modestly, everything stayed where it was supposed to. This is an amazing dress and I'm considering purchasing it because I loved it that much!

It was amazing! I wore it for the Nutcracker and it made me look so good!
I don't know if it's just because my torso is longer, but the dress was a little short. I felt like it barely covered my butt.

Adorable, but too short to possibly wear!
This dress was exactly what I wanted, except too many inches shorter than I could bear to wear. The sleeve was also a fairly awkward length. I suppose I could attribute all of this to my height, but I can't imagine the length being acceptable on anyone, especially with the flow of the dress.

Awesome dress, looked so cute with gold accessories at a new years party. It is cut straight up-and-down so if you have hips you might want to go up one size. I usually wear a 2 and the 4 was much more comfortable

Was the perfect dress for New Years!
The dress was perfect for New Years Eve! It fit perfectly, I never had to worry about it being too loose at the top. It is a bit short when you sit down but I wore it with tights and never had to worry the whole evening. This was my first experience with RTR and it was awesome. Thank you!

The dress is not as flattering in photos as in person.
The dress is awesome, but the pictures do not do it justice. Unfortunately RTR, did not press it properly and I was stuck with the lining sticking out all night long. Other than that, it's a fabulous dress.

A night with fabulous women in a fabulous dress.
I wore this dress to my sorority's centennial celebration. It was very flattering and fashionable while also being appropriate for an event with women from 18 to 80.
Pros: Comfortable, skims over the body, fits well without fashion tape (no wardrobe malfunctions here).
Cons: Because it is not as fitted as some dresses, it can look baggy from certain angles. I ordered a 2 and a 4. The 4 was too big and the 2 fit well enough. I do wish I had erred on the smaller side and ordered the 0 and 2.
Overall this is a great dress that received lots of compliments from all ages. I felt sophisticated and sexy all at once.

Definitely something different for a great night! Lots of compliments!
The fit was very comfortable and the 10 was a little loose. I should note that the dress is VERY short -- I thought it was just because the model wearing the dress on the site is so tall, but I am 5'5" and it was very short!
Great for our formal for a long night with lots of dancing! I got lots of compliments on the dress.

This dress is awesome! Classic, slimming fit.
I wore this dress to my birthday dinner, but feared it might be too dressy. I dressed it down with a black leather jacket with army green sleeves. It's a great dress because it still looks cute dressed down, but can also be very classy. The clean lines are extremely flattering, especially around the mid-section. The length is cute and flirty (I'm 5'4"), but might be too short for a formal event. The only reason why I gave it four stars is because the sleeve can be perceived as silty retro, but I still loved it. Highly recommended!
