Marchesa Notte

I didn't end up wearing this dress because I felt it was about too festive for the wedding I rented for - but I probably will keep in mind for over the holidays. The skirt is fun and whimsical and is balanced by a more demure (yet still fitted) lace top. It isn't floor length - more ankle - and I think would be perfect for a festive holiday party. Def for the right, unique lady/girl who isn't a wallflower - and some bold jewels really amp up the fun factor :)

Not as low cut as the photo shows. No cleavage was visible at all.

Omg I wanted to wear this dress so badly to my daughters christening... it was a stunning dress on the hanger and on! However I have hips, and the sequin material had NO stretch at all so though I could wear it, I was unable comfortably sit in it.

I preferred the dress online more than in person, it is lovely but it ran too small around my hips and waist, I could hardly zipper the back. Would recommend going a size up particularly for curvy girls!

Got compliments all night

I got so many compliments on this dress! Heads up though that you need to wear spandex shorts because the skirt is slightly uncomfortable. Had scratch marks on my back right by waste line. But what's high fashion without a little hassle! Perfect for a fall or winter wedding.

The dress is fitted from bust to thighs with no stretch, but the 2R was standard. It's very well made the the colors are rich and beautiful. It was exactly as I expected from the RTR images.

I got so many compliments on this dress. Absolutely gorgeous!!

I absolutely loved this dress! I am normally wear a 2-4 so I got the 4R. The dress fit like a glove but has zero stretch. If you are in between sizes like I am I would recommend ordering the larger size. Beautiful dress, amazing quality, compliments all night long!

Great dress! Received lots of compliments. I'm 5'4" and it hit right above the ankle. It's not as low cut as pictured on the model. I sized up to be more comfortable. My size fit but bc of the sequins, the larger size made it easier when sitting down.

Hands down prettiest dress that literally everyone will love & compliment you on. It's unique & I loved it! I wish I could keep it! Only complaint is you are a little restricted in your dance moves :)

The cut and detailing on this dress is beautiful. The bottom is heavy because of the detail work, but otherwise easy to walk in and great fit.

I decided to take a huge chance and rent off the RTR. I was so skeptical because I'm so picky and need to try on before committing. And not knowing what this dress would look like on me only a few days before the event was definitely taking a chance. I am so happy I picked this dress! It is absolutely stunning. I have a heavier set body type and this dress made me feel so good! I got so many compliments!!!! Will definitely be using RTR again

The dress fit amazing. It came in perfect condition to my hotel. It was in a zipped up garnet bag. I had compliments all night long. It was terrific experience.

Wearing this dress made me soooo happy. It is so sparkly and fun and really stood out at a gala full of black dresses and suits. So many beautiful details and really high quality. I got lots of compliments from a variety of ages in a rather conservative crowd. It's definitely form fitting and takes a zipper-helping friend but otherwise was super easy to wear and you don't need any complicated bra or other undergarments with it (I wore strapless). There is a tiny bow at the top of he keyhole opening at the bust, which I hated when I first looked at it, but it's really not noticeable once you're wearing the dress.

Runs a bit small. I am usually a true 8 and the 10 fit perfectly. The length is perfect tea length on my 5'7" frame. Was very comfortable and I got complements all night.

Perfect fit- loved this dress! Got tons of compliments on it. Perfect for a black tie wedding

Loved this dress. The fit was great and I received a lot of compliments throughout the evening. Such a fun dress and certainly unique. Highly recommend this dress.

Fit like a glove! Was so comfortable, and received tons of compliments. Would rent again! Super sad to send it back.

I am 5'7 and the length was odd. I am a 34a and felt like bigger boobs would have helped fill it out on top. I thought the dress was beautiful but didnt do anything for me. Went with my backup dress

The fit is great! I'm curvy with big boobs, so i always feel like im ALL boobs or the neck is super high. I had to wear a strapless bra with this but it was still comfortable and I got A MILLION compliments on it. There is no stretch in the skirt because of the sequins, which made going to the bathroom and poppin' on the dance floor a little challenging. But it was worth it.

The dress was gorgeous, unique yet timeless at the same time. The bodice was a bit narrow, but nothing that my broader shoulders couldn't handle. I elegant and modern, and got many compliments on the dress.

Absolutely gorgeous formfitting beautifully sequenced dress! This dress is beautifully made with the romantic deep red lace top and the detailed sequence bottom. Its not your typical formal wear but the unique design just sets it apart from the rest! It definitely has its own personality and outshines any other ball gown at a party! I wore this to my company holiday party at a history art museum recently and this dress definitely turned heads. I received so many compliments: "Already best dress of the night hands down" even before entering the party! Even a few folks stopped me on the street just to pay compliments. I felt like a million bucks!! Don't even think about not to selecting this dress - its magical!! And i promise you - you will not be let down. Definitely The One!

The dress itself is truly stunning, the sequin and lace details are beautiully crafted. However having a rather large bust (34DD), the 4 I am usually wearing was too tight around the ribcage, so I could not really breathe and ended up not wearing it. I had ordered the 6 as a back up, but RTR informed me one day before delivery that both my back up size and back up dress were unavailable. This was really disappointing as I ended up having to wear something entirely different from what I had initially ordered.

The 10 fit better but the zipper would not zip once on (it was a production lol) I ended up wearing the 8 out of last minute (literally) drsperation. It was a bit too tight but I receieved tons of compliments and I felt so glamorous all night! LOVE THIS DRESS!

I rented this dress for an evening ballet, because it looked so elegant, unique, and just enough sparkles for the holiday mood. Needless to say it didn't let me down! I received many compliments :) Fit wise, it's a bit tight especially around the shoulder and bust area, not so much on the waist and bottom, which is of course based on my own measurements. Also the waist line is 1 inch above my narrowest part so you tall ladies, be aware.

I LOVED this dress. I am a solid 4 in pants and dresses and the 4R fit perfectly. The rib cage was a bit snug at first but it loosened up after about an hour. I wore a strapless bra with ease. I got so many compliments on this dress. It was just enough sparkle to feel fancy without overdoing it.

Pros: sexy but classy, details details details, comfy in bigger size, absolutely beautiful! Cons: weird length on anyone, I presume. Not a lot of give.

This dress was absolutely fabulous. I wore it to a black tie wedding and did not want to take it off at the end if the night.

Insanely gorgeous dress. I wish it had fit. Runs extremely small.

I rented this dress for a christmas party my hubby and I were hosting in our new home. I have been eyeing this dress for MONTHSSS and kneww that this would be PERFECT for the occasion! I read all of the reviews and paid special attention to previous renters with a similar shape as myself. I have an hourglass figure with full hips and thighs. For reference-- I am usually a size 6 dress but for safe measure-- I rented a size 8 and 10. I was underwhelmed when I saw the dress in the garment bag but I was BLOWN away (and so was my husband) when I put on the dress. The size 8 BARLEY fit so I opted to wear the 10. Sooo ladies-- if you are curvy and have a full bottom you may want to go up 2 sizes. I received compliments THE WHOLE NIGHT! I felt so beautiful and sophiaticated in the dress and it fit soooo perfectly with the winter wonderland theme we created for the evening. I wore very simple accessories and a classic red lip! I am tempted to rent this dress again just because ! Lol!

Rented this dress for a black tie optional Texas wedding in October. Tons of compliments and I really liked the overall look of the dress. It was very hot the day of the wedding and this dress is very heavy. The sequins on the bottom portion of the dress were also quite itchy. Was definitely not the most comfortable option but overall a great dress.

I am SO OBSESSED with this dress. I would have slept in it if I could. Unfortunately I had such a great night I only got one crappy photo. The fit was perfect even the length for me with 3in heels. This is a particularly great dress for an arty event like I went to.

This dress is a piece of art. So stunning. Got so many compliments! Sized up to make sure there was room through the hips and glad I did. I wish this dress wasnt so memorable so I could rent it again!

Perfect rental for a formal gown

This dress definitely runs small! I have a pretty small frame/waist and normally wear a size 2 in dresses. The 4 was borderline too small but because it's a very nice, well-made dress, I got by. Also, the 4 I received had one of the ribbons torn off. Kind of ghetto, but you'd only notice at close look. I received more compliments than I ever have on a dress, it was a perfect statement outfit anf wintry and beautiful. The sequins catch the light beautifully. One guy even told me I looked like a mermaid!

I'll be ginest that I was a little hesitant about this dress being fancy enough gor the ovcassion but it was absolutely perfect! I recieved so many compliments all night long. Plus, I was able to dance in it too! The armpit area was a little tight but wouodnt stop me from wearing it again.

Perfect dress for the event! Dress felt great on! Zipper was tricky but managed to get it up with help. The bow up top was my only complaint. It didnt lay down right and the ribbon had snagged so it didnt loook perfect.

Dress is beautiful in person. Fit perfect, great length, comfortable. Received tons of compliments throughout the evening. Rented the 0 and 2. 0 was a little snug through bust/torso so wore 2.

Wore this absolutely lovely dress to a wedding and received compliments the entire night! The fit is true to size, and even though I'm on the shorter side, the length still worked. I'm always a bit scared that floor length dresses will be too long on me, even with heels, but this unique length gave the feel of a long dress withot the fear of dragging the hem on the ground - and it gives you an opportunity to show off your shoes! The skirt isn't stretchy, so getting up the high steps of the shuttle at the end of the night was tricky for a moment, but a totally minor detail. The contrasting fabric styles - with the nude + maroon/plum lace top and sparkly sequin bottom - make this a special dress with a one-of-a-kind feel that is guarenteed to turn heads. Add this to your must-rent list asap!
