Marchesa Notte

LOVED this dress. Fit like a glove and it was beautiful! Of all three dresses I ordered, I felt this fit truest to size. Very classy and elegant. It does cut low across the sides so if you have larger breasts you will absolutely have major side boob.. I am small chested so it wasn't an issue. I would rent this dress again!

This dress is so beautiful and I got so many compliments however be ready for side boob!! It's subtle but it is there even with small boobs

Although you do get sideboob, I did not mind at all. I just used tape just in case. The dress was stunning and I got compliments for it the whole night

Beautiful dress & color, my fiance loved it!

I ended up getting this dress because my original purchase became unavailable at the last minute. I was a little hesitant at first but once I put it on all was forgotten. . I am very small up top so the tape was very necessary. I love the beaded embroidered necklace. Some of the jewels looked a little damaged but nothing you could see unless you knew it was there. I would definitely rent it again

I exchanged this dress at a rtr location and definitely am happy I did! It was so comfortable and beautiful. I got many compliments from people I didn't know. There was no size tag on the dress and the hanger said 2, but online it says 4R. I'm usually a 0R or a 2R. Goes to show you should always get the free extra size to make sure. All in all, it's about how you feel in it. Definitely needs fashion tape if you're worried about side cleavage.

Beautiful gown! But totally backless. If you have a large chest at all, know this may not be the dress for your formal affair. The beading and neckline, column style skirt, and swooping back are so simple, and unique. Just make sure you have tape and nipple coverings.

Beautiful dress! I didn't end up wearing it because I thought it showed a little too much side boob for a military function, but it was beautiful! Hope to rent it in the future

I originally reserved a different less expensive dress but after consulting some girlfriends decided to change my order to the Marchesa Notte. First, I will say the process to change my order was flawless. I used the chat through the phone app to change my order and it was quick, efficient, and the consultant was patient and helpful. When I received the dress I tried on the 2 and it was perfect but the zipper was near impossible to zip up. The size 4 looked/fit just as good as the 2 and didn't give me any issues zipping up so I decided to stick with the 4. I have to admit I was a little worried about the side boob situation, but as the 1st time in 9 years since dressing up for a formal event (my own wedding) I decided to take the chance and I'm so happy I did! I wore this to a military ball and it was not at all inappropriate. With the right styling and accessories this is an elegant look for any formal occasion. The dress is fully lined so you have a fair amount of underwear options. I used nipple shields and double-seed tape just in case I had any wardrobe malfunctions but I was so comfortable that a slip of a boob was the least of my concerns the whole night. The length was also perfect. I am 5'4 and wore 4-inch heels and my feet barely showed. The slit in the back of the dress provided ease of movement and I had no problems walking/dancing. No one had anything like this dress at the ball! I am so happy with my experience on RTR and will definitely rent again! Thank you RTR!!

This dress is really flattering but as others have mentioned, the side boob is real. Nothing two strips of fashion tape can't fix!! The neck detailing makes accessorizing easy (aka no real need!) and the open back is great. LOVE IT!!

Beware of side boob with this dress, I tried absolutely everything to make this work (tape, pulling together my sticky bra as much as it could go, pinning the top around my neck) because I absolutely love the dress, the top is just cut too narrow for any person, even someone that is flat chested. I just have a hard time believing that you could feel comfortable in this dress dancing, or doing anything for that matter, which is why I called RTR customer service and had another great dress overnighted to me, which turned out to be fabulous! Wanted to love this and make it work but I just couldn't.

This dress is seriously gorgeous and I received a ton of compliments, however I would definitely not recommend for someone struggling with new mom bod (like me! :P) Harnessing these newly weaned deflated-from-breastfeeding boobs into the side boob extravaganza that is this dress required a Herculean amount of fashion and boob tape. It was also not forgiving in the belly area so I was spanx-ing it up - however I think I probably showed my spanx off a bit because the slit was pretty high (and in the middle of the back of the dress? Kind of strange.) Overall very pretty and fit the occasion well, however I definitely would have loved it more pre-baby ;) good luck sisters in side boob!

The fit was mostly great. Fabric had some stretch that was definitely forgiving especially if wearing a shaper. Definitely side boob but I didn't think it was too much. I did have to pin the halter neck as it was too long for me, but once I did this the fit was perfect. Also not too long with 4inch heels which is great because I typically need dresses hemmed (was super nervous for that). Would recommend!! Would wear again and again, made me a very self conscious girl feel beautiful for a night!!!

The dress fit perfectly! It was comfortable. Everyone is very right about the side boob. I got compliment all night. I felt beautiful in this dress. The jewled neck made it easy to get dressed as I didn't need to think about accessories. I absolutely loved this dress

I felt absolutely amazing, sexy and classy in my first RTR experience wth this stunning green gown! I received so many compliments regarding the fitting and the stunning beaded and jeweled detailing around the top and neck of the gown. The only warning/caution I would advise to be cautious and aware of is the "side boobage" of this gown. Although I felt amazing, I had to be conscious the entire evening to ensure the girls weren't busting out or sliding too much out of the sides. Next time I will get a gown that had a little more side coverage in the breast area. Otherwise, STUNNING!

The top is cut so that there is a lot of side boob. Also the halter was too loose. I did not think it would be comfortable even with fabric tape

I loves this dress! I rented it for a wedding in August. Everything other renters have mentioned about the dress is true. There is a serious, "side boob" but as long as you have a small to medium chest and are in decent shape chest wise, you'll be fine. I wore nipple covers, but no tape was needed. I did need to wear a close pin on the top choker part of the dress to make it fit me correctly, and I definitely wore spanx under the dress to help cover up my stomach rolls or any unpleasant lines I wanted to hide. Very comfortable to dance in. I didn't receive any compliments unfortunately, but I loved wearing this and I would recommend it to anyone that doesn't mind having to take part in a few beauty and tailoring tricks.

This dress was perfect for a glamorous wedding. There is definitely a lot of side exposed, but I used tape for support and secure on the front and did not have to worry about much more popping out the sides. Overall, this was true to size and beautiful, and I received countless compliments!

Received compliments all night long. Comfortable and easy to dance in

I loved this dress! I wanted a size smaller so the bust would have been a bit more snug, but it was unavailable. I read the reviews beforehand and prepapred for this with a backless bra and lots of fashion tape to avoid any wardrobe malfuntions. It was worth the work! Got compliments all night and felt beautiful!

This dress is stunning and such a gorgeous and unique color- a great option if you have a formal affair and want to feel like a knockout. It's super flattering but the side boob action is REAL- so just prepare yourself!

There was definitely a lot of side boob but I used fabric tape to keep everything from moving! It fits pretty perfect except it was a little tight around my hips but I could not move the next size up because it would have been too big up top. I was able to decide what size would be best based on all of the reviews! I'm 5'5" about 120-122 pounds- i'm a lot smaller on the top and curvier bottom. I would recomend this dress!

As mentioned in other reviews, the top is a bit challenging due to the design. The 2L size top portion fit better because I am a low B cup size but I opted to go with the 4L to compensate for my wider hips and booty. To remedy the problem I wore sticky bra cups and double stick fashion tape along the sides and at the back of my neck to keep the dress smooth and movement free. It worked like a charm. I was comfortable all night dancing and moving around. The true color is more dark green than teal but gorgeous none the less. The open back was sexy. I have a smaller chest so this dress was the perfect fit for me.

This was absolutely stunning. The detail on the neckline was incredible and the cut was very sexy. You will for sure need tape as it's deep on the sides and will show side boob. Yet it is so worth it. I got a ton of compliments and did not want to take it off.

Rented this for a "black tie optional" wedding. I didn't end up wearing it as it was too long. Also, the buttons on the halter are very difficult and didn't stay clasped well.

Sadly I wasnt able to wear this dress. I loved everything about it except that my side boob peekaboo showed from the front. Probably not good for anyone larger than a D. It was too tacky for me to wear. The color was more of a hunter than a teal and the neck beading was delicate and lovely. Beautiful dress!

Beautiful dress however not for a shorty like me....

Beautiful dress! I received tons of compliments throughout the night. Be sure to have fashion tape handy, otherwise you may have issues with the top.

The color of this dress was so gorgeous and the detail on the neck was beautiful. I did not end up wearing this dress because it showed quite a bit of skin in the back and on the sides, and that did not fit my event. I would have happily worn this to a different event. The fabric felt light when I put it on and I think it would be comfortable to wear for a while. However, the buttons around the neck were SO difficult to unfasten. When I tried it on, it took me quite a bit of effort to fasten and unfasten the buttons.

Way too big in the top. The neck is extremely large. Too bad it's georgeous.

Beautiful dress, great quality, fit like a glove. The side boob is something to be prepared for but I received a ton of compliments!

This is a gorgeous dress. I have no bust so it was a bit baggy and loose up top. There is definitely some side boob that is seen in this dress. It actually works better on someone with a bust. You may need fashion tape for this one. I love the fabric and overall fit. The length was great with a 2.5-3" heel.

Perfect fit! There is definitely some side boob (I'm at 34B) but with double sided tape you should be fine!

Yes.m, the side boob is real, but if you can pull it off tastefully then this dress is on point. I wore this to a black tie wedding at a historic mansion in DC and received compliments all night.

It fits like a glove. True to size and ideal for smaller boobs. Show stopper

Very flattering! Some side boob but able to use tape to keep the dress in place.

I took a chance and ordered just a 2R because the complimentary second size 0R was unavailable. I will never take that chance again. The dress was a little too big around my waist (25in for reference) which caused it to sag at the back. I don't know if it was because of the size or just the nature of the dress, but it showed a LOT more side boob than I was comfortable with. If you are going for a conservative look and have big boobs, beware. Also, hooking the halter top definitely requires a second hand.

The dress itself is beautiful; however, I am fairly small-chested and couldn't get the top to fit right. Without a nu-bra it was far too baggy, but the cut of the dress made it impossible to wear a nu-bra without it being seen.

The dress drapes well and the neckline is beautiful; I got tons of compliments. As others have mentioned, you'll show some serious side boob in this dress. I found that pinning the halter to shorten the top half of the dress improved the fit and reduced the side boob. I also used some tape and felt completely secure. I'm 5'3 and it was just a touch too long in 4 inch heels. The material is stretchy, and I would size down for your backup.

I did not wear this dress. I couldn't make the top of the dress fit me. The size 4 was honestly huge up top (long too) but a good fit from the hips down. The 2 was tight in the hips and still too long up top. I know people said there will be side boob but there was so much material sagging that my boob was like sliding out of the dress. I tried dress tape. I tried to make the halter/choker part of the dress tighter. Nothing worked. I don't think this is the right dress for ladies with a short torso. Because of the way the dress is cut, you pretty much have to be long waisted enough so that the top is stretched out to ensure no big mishaps occur.
