Loved!

I was skeptical about this dress when I received it, but after I wore it, I was kind of bummed. I only wore it one time! It’s very cute! And the quality is really nice!

Versatile velvet

I loved this piece! Wore this to a pop up on my birthday. Ordered the size 16 and size 18. It was true to size and I was able to go with the 16. It has give too. I received so many compliments. It was a chilly evening but this kept me warm and it was super comfortable. Perfect length so you don’t have to worry about it being too short.

Velvet vamp

Velvet is soft-pull on no zipper. Not a lot of support in the boob area but I still didn’t wear a bra. Fun and cute!

Team RTR Review

The easiest little velvet throw on dress! Absolutely loved this look for a holiday party or NYE event. It is SO comfortable. The stretch is amazing and it can easily be worn without a bra. So flattering, but so simple! A must rent.

Simple LBD but does the trick

I wore this to my work’s Christmas party. It fit very easy and was super comfortable, plus very flattering. I love a dress that doesn’t need spanx. It wasn’t the most dramatic look, as it’s pretty simple, but it fit the bill and I was able to dress it up with some fun tights and sparkly earrings! Would def recommend if you need a little black dress!

Run, don't walk!!!

If you're on the petite side like I am, this dress might be perfect for you. It's often really hard for me to find clothes that fit me well (most are too big), but this felt tailor-made. Loved the velvet material, too! Got compliments throughout the night. Event was at a museum. Would rent again :)

Gorgeous but iffy for bigger busts

This fit gorgeously but I don't think my chest fit in the bustier as well as it would have if the goods were smaller. Be aware if you have a larger bust!

Wanted to love!

I almost wore this for my date night. I personally hate when the cups don’t fit the bust right so I didn’t wear it. Even without a bra I felt it was off. But I would’ve still worn it if I was able to find the right shoes! Such a cute dress

Soft, cute

Simple but elegant and sexy. Paired it with a fury animal print oversized jacket for fancy dinner then a jean jacket to dress it down. Wore it on a cruise but could see it anywhere except a windy park (loose and flowy lol)

wasnt the perfect fit for me, a bit too narrow and generally too small in the bust. However, I still wore it and the waist/ bust blended together. not ideal but was still very cute.
