I rented this dress as a backup to my backup when my original rental ended up being unavailable. I didn't expect how much I'd enjoy it. It's easy to walk in and to dance in. I didn't feel like I had to tug the dress up at all as I do with most strapless options because of the double zipper a lot of other reviewers have mentioned. It would be difficult to get this dress on and off without someone to help so keep that in mind. I would definitely rent this dress again. 

0R fit perfectly. I am five foot three and weigh about 105 pounds. The dress fit snug around my waist and bust. The intricate beading at the bust of the dress was beautiful. I also found the tulle material of the skirt light and somewhat airy. Many people complimented me on the fact that the dress really does look like the starry night sky. It's a wonderful shade of navy with golden appliques. Overall, I had so much fun at senior ball with this dress! I would definitely recommend it to anyone in the future. 

The body part was a little tight while the chest ran larger but I think that is just more for my body type. 
I honestly have no complaints about the dress, I didn't want to take it off and I felt so ethereal wearing it.
A 10/10 experience.

I got this when my first choice was not available. I got the 6 and 8, they both fit but I  ended up using the 6 just because since I have a wide ribcage and small chest I didn't quite fill out the 8. 
The dress has pale gold embroidery, two layers of tulle and a double zipper at the top so it stays put. Just be careful not to get the tulle stuck on your heels.
Gave it 4 starts because at one point one of the wires from the side boning broke through the fabric and poked my ribs. 

I typically wear a size 4, but after reading some reviews I chose to order the 6R and 8R. This was actually my backup dress when my first choice couldn’t come in. If you’re someone who favors a bodycon/ mermaid, or a-line shape, this isn’t the dress for you. While I loved it and thought it was just sparkly enough without being over the top, the shape is more suited for someone who wants to hide their midsection. However, it is quite comfortable and forgiving in size (I’m a 32DDD in the bust and the 6 wasn’t tight at all). I would recommend this dress for prom, but the tulle and sequins make it less appropriate for other venues.

I loved this dress! I rented an 8L and 10L, the 10 had a small rip in the netting right in the front of the dress. So I opted to wear the 8. I wore 3 in heels and I'm 5'9", it was a perfect length. The only thing that would make this better, would be some pockets. 

Being a 36DDD, I was a little self conscious about the amount of cleavage I had on display. This probably would have been perfect for a C or D cup. However, I felt so secure in this dress that I didn't wear a strapless bra. I danced the entire night and never had to adjust! The inner lining of the skirt is made of a soft jersey that is ~ 6 inches shorter than the outer tulle layers, which is nice so you're both comfortable and don't have to worry about tripping over the skirt. 

Fit great! I'm 5'2 about 105. I wore 3 inch heels. Everyone was so complimentary of the dress all night long. Loved it! 

I am a true size 2 and the 2R fit perfectly. My bust is a 34B so I could see someone with a larger chest having an issue. I didn't have to tug up the dress at all. I'm 5'8 and in my heels the dress just barely hit the floor, so I wasn't stepping all over myself. The dress was unique and a standout. 

The dress is absolutely beautiful!  The only issue was that it was too long.  I am 5'3 and wore 4 inch heels and my heels kept catching on the back of the dress.  I had to hold the skirt up whenever I took a step or risk having my heal tear the delicate layers of the dress.  But otherwise it was absolutely stunning.

This was the perfect dress for this midsummer mascaraed!  I wear a 6-8, got the 8 it fit perfect and a little snug. 

This dress was a breeze to wear - long after I had abandoned my heels, I was still swishing and swirling in this dress! I didn't wear a bra or any shapewear. The bodice is boned so it stayed put all night and it cinched my waist just enough for a nice silhouette, but not so much to be uncomfortable. The layers of the skirt are light and airy and drape beautifully, absolutely hiding the fact that I wasn't wearing any shapewear. I love that the hem is just high enough in the front to showcase your shoes - I took a hint from the model and went with a delicate gold strappy heel. The embroidered details on the bodice are beautiful and the sequins add just the right amount of sparkle. The dress has a fun, feminine, fairy-like feel to it; elegant enough for a black tie event but I could also see wearing it barefoot on a beach. Most importantly, it was comfortable to wear all night long.

I felt like a Barbie in this dreamy dress at the Opera! It's so subtly sparkly and so easy to wear. I never had to adjust it. I'm almost 5'9 and I wore 4in heels... the 8L just grazed the floor in the back. Divine! I do have a larger bust and narrow rib cage. I probably could have squeeeeeezed into a 6. The 10 definitely swallowed me. You will cry when you put this back in the bag! 

comfortable, looked great in the light, easy to dance in, and received many compliments!

Fit nicely and went with the theme, pretty long though and it snagged on my heels.  It also bunched out my hips a bit but other than that an overall really beautiful dress.  

This dress definitely made me feel like a dark Elsa. I loved the beautiful flowing feel the dress had, and for my first time wearing a strapless it wasn't that bad. The top part was a little too tight, which was kind of uncomfortable but did keep the dress up, and the length in the back was a little too long. I wish I would've ordered the 10 and 12 instead of 10 and 8 (I'm consistently size 10 in dresses, but I wonder if the top would've been more comfortable a size larger). The sparkles look silver in pictures but in reality they're more of a gold. Overall, it was a fun dress and I'm glad to have gotten a chance to wear it.

I wore this as a maid of honor dress for my sister's wedding. It was beautiful and the detail at the top of the gown was gorgeous. It was a little tight just below my ribcage, but it looked beautiful and held my boobs in nicely, I don't even think I had to wear a bra. It was a little hot for an outdoor July wedding, but the bride my sister picked it and I happily obliged. I wish I got a better photo standing up. I usually don't wear long dresses because I think they make me look short (I'm 5'4), but the cut of this and the tool worked well. I work ombre pink/silver glitter pumps. 

Snug bust fit made me feel secure and not like my boobs were going to fall out, but I could see a problem zipping the dress up for bustier girls. Without shoes, it hit the ground for me and I got big heels, so It was lifted even more. The dress also goes up in the front to show off the feet so my dress looked even shorter on me. In all honesty though, nobody noticed because of the low lighting. This wasn't my first choice of a a dress because the pictures make it look weird, but in person it's pretty magical.

I rented this gown for a black tie event in late January. The overall fit in the bodice of the gown was a tad large without a bra; I had to keep puling it up all night. In hindsight I should've ordered the 6L. The long length was perfect however! I am over 6 ft tall and the dress grazed the ground with 3 inch heels on. I was pleased with the easy returns and the option to have a backup size. Definitely would recommend this dress for a similar event.

This dress is just nothing short of incredible. I had been waiting for months for an event to wear this to and this gown did not disappoint. The varied length hem at the bottom made it so easy to walk and dance in and I imagine it's friendly for all heights. The bust fit me perfectly and I was fending off compliments all night. In person this dress is even more incredible. You will not regret this rental.

I rented the 8L based on others feedback and their reported bust size, and weight - I am 5'10". 154# and a 34DD and could not zip this so if you are at all busty size up!  RTR was fantastic and overnighted a size 10L which fitted perfectly.  Absolute showstopper of a gown.

Bra size is 34DDD and I usually wear a 10, went up a size to a 12 in this dress and it fit perfectly. Hated the double zipper but in the end it turned out to be an amazing gown. Received a ton of compliments.

This was a great dress got a lot compliments 

Thought the uneven tulle hem looked a little off... not like a typical hi/lo dress

My first dress choice wasn't available, so I got this one at the last minute instead. I'm so glad it worked out that way because this dress is gorgeous! The pictures really don't do justice to how sparkly it is.

I wore it to an outdoor summer wedding and felt absolutely amazing in it. It's honestly probably better suited for a fall or winter event, but it was so beautiful that I didn't even care.

The top is structured so I had no problem going without a bra. I'm always worried about my big hips, but the bottom is flow-y and flattering. Great first experience with RTR.

This was the most beautiful dress! I was sad to send it back. Wore it to my friends black tie wedding and got so many compliments! I was worried about the bust because I'm a 36DD. The 8L was too small in the bust so I went with the 10L. I had to pull it up a few times, but it was worth it!

This dress is so special. It fell beautifully, the high-low hem was an unexpectedly elegant touch, and it stayed up ALL night (I didn't have to pull it up or adjust it at all during the night). My one caveat is that it looked slightly childish -- the sparkles and the tulle poof of the gown definitely make it feel more like a high-school prom dress than an elegant wedding guest dress. But it was so much fun to wear that, in the end, I didn't much care whether it was age-appropriate. 

I rush ordered this dress after my first one was too short and I am so glad I did! The length was perfect and the tulle and sparkles were super pretty. Its also incredibly comfortable (theres a double zipper that helps it stat up). I received so many compliments- it was like no other dress I saw at prom. 

I loved this dress! It was beautiful. I wore a strapless bra and it worked perfectly and everything stayed in place for a night of dancing. It was slightly tight on my ribs but I have a very big chest. I'm 5'5 and got the 12 long and paired it with tall heels. The dress was a highlow and I didn't have trouble with the length except going up stairs. The details were beautiful and I felt elegant wearing it. 

Gorgeous dress. I thought it was silver and gold, but it is just gold. I couldn't get the tulle to completely de-wrinkle at the bottom.  I have a muscular body and something about the fit was off. The back was very tight and the bust was lose (36C ) the length was perfect, I am 5'6.5' with a heel. I think I just had the wrong body type to pull this dress off, but i could see it looking great on a different body type. 

I'm 5'2 and wore this with 3 1/2 inch heels and it hit the floor perfectly. The dress has a double zipper so there's no need to keep pulling it up all night. 

So I'm a 34DD and it was VERY tight at the bust... no bra needed! I had gotten the size 8 as a back up and that was pretty tight at the bust as well (I had tried the 4 on in the store and it wouldn't zip up and I'm typically a 4). I'm not sure if it's because of the bust but there was one bit of boning that was jabbing my stomach a little bit which wasn't great but not unbearable. I loved that it was shorter in the front because I'm petite so it made it very easy to dance in and not worry about tripping! 

I fell in love with the dress for a recent formal event I attended!  I ordered the 0 and the 2, as I usually need to go up a size if dresses are fitted through the hips at all.  This dress is only fitted through the bust (there's a built in bodice/corset), and it was perfect - not uncomfortably tight, but also didn't feel like I was pulling the dress up all night (even while dancing).  I received a lot of compliments and felt great all night. 

My original dress did not arrive in time and the store only had this dress in a 6, I wear a 2/4 but it wasn't falling down so I went with it.  Happy overall, although I was tugging at it throughout the night.  Probably should have picked a better fit option but was limited at the last minute of NYE.

Fit larger than you would think. I would recommend for your second size, go a size smaller instead of a size larger than you would think. I wish I had as the bodice fit me a bit too low for my preference. This dress is so well-constructed, it is a complete pleasure to wear. 

Complements all night long. I felt confident in the dress, not having to worry about my tummy or any other "problem areas" ! 


I received so many compliments on this dress. I'm 5'4" and the dress was just the right length; I wore 4-5" heels and it barely skimmed the floor -- I looked like I was gliding all night. I did manage get into the size 2 comfortably and without appearing too busty -- I'm a 32DDD so that's no small feat. The sweetheart dip certainly helps. 

Rented for a holiday party in late November.  Beautiful navy color with gold and navy sequins and stitching and a full tulle skirt, which is fully lined.  The boning and structure are significant that a bra isn't totally necessary.  There is an interior zipper for bra fitting and an outer zipper for the dress.  I used a little fashion tape to keep it in place.  Fits  TTS.  Ordered a long, and being 6 feet tall it was a tad short with 2" heels.   Worn with Slate & Willow Kris necklace and gold shoes.  I received loads of compliments -- classy and elegant.  I would rent again in a heart beat...kind of sad to have to send it back!
