The dress accentuates curves. I think it is perfect for women with average busts and hips. Less so if you are more on the androgynous side.

Back is lace, that looked like it had runs in it. Did not wear. 

I loved the dress. It just fit...I think jad it been a size smaller, there would have been some problems...but it looked really nice. Many compliments. The back was my favorite part.

The fabric is amazing-nice and thick so it holds everything in place 

Perfect dress for any formal event. Classic but also sexy. 

Loved this dress! If you are petite you will need to wear high heels

I’m very small chested so there was extra room in the top so a little better for those with a bigger chest. Wasn’t shocked and I made it work! Would still recommend this dress for any formal event! 

I'm glad I got two sizes because the mermaid fit made the 0 too small to zip up. I love the surprise factor of the lacy back. The only drawback was for someone of my height, it was way too long, and I had to wear uncomfortably high heels to make it work.

Amazing dress. Fit me like a glove. Tons of compliments. 

The dress fit and length was perfect! I'm 5'4, 110 pounds. Wore it for a Mardi Gras ball. 

I wore this dress to a semi formal Christmas party. The dress is just stunning!!! The lace detail is amazing! I received so many compliments! The dress is thick so it'll withstand a lot. It was a little snug in the hips so if you're curvier, definitely size up.

I wore this to an indoor outdoor wedding in November so I wanted to be somewhat covered up. This dress fit the bill and is pretty flattering on, my one complaint is it does cling to your stomach more than I would like. I wish this gown was a little more cut in at the waist than it is but overall I really like this dress. I currently wear an 8 or 10 and this dress fit perfectly.

I am athletic built. Have some nice muscles where it made it challenging such as the back zipper. The cap sleeves and lace back were my favorite. Never wore a mermaid style dress before but loved how it fit my body.

Usually wear 4/6 size smalls. I ordered a 8L and it was a bit small.


I fell in love with this dress the second I saw it. Like, the way people talk about their wedding dress. I was super lucky it was in stock for the timeframe I needed it. It fit perfectly. I am heavy up top (36I) and this dress actually fit in a way that I was able to go braless which NEVER happens. The lace back is a beautiful detail and I received compliments on the dress the minute I walked into the event.  I thought it would be a bit heavy or uncomfortable, it was neither.   Perfect pick!

I originally ordered the 10R and it fit almost too good. So I sized up to the 12R and it was perfect! Was able to move nicely in it and the lace detail was beautiful! 

The dress is elegant with a splash of sexy because of the lace back. The fit created a great hourglass silhouette, and the length was perfect for a low heel. I got lots of compliments on the lace detailing. Perfect for the event. 

This dress fit beautifully, and was very comfortable for a full night of wedding coordination.

I adored this gown. The lace back was my favorite feature but I also loves the shape and the lace on sleeves and neck. It would need some starch to get the necklace to stand up like it does in the picture. The long is not super long because I wore flats and it just touched the ground. I considered buying the stress because I got so many compliments and it fit so perfectly. You obviously can't wear a bra with it… But if you're flat chested you'll need a stick on bra to fill out the front.

This dress is absolutely stunning. So many compliments. True to size. I'm 5'4" and the length was perfect with 3 inch heels. I'm 125lbs and the size 2 was snug. I probably would've been more comfortable in a 4 but my order was messed up and I didn't get the 4... 

This dress fit like it was made specifically for my body. The fabric was thick and heavy, which felt great. Wore on a cold, December night and was fine with just my coat on, when I was outside. I was able to wear sneakers with this gown, which was great cuz the gown was long enough to cover my shoes, but not too long that I needed to wear heels. My sneakers might've had a 1-1.5" sole. The sneakers had Swarovski crystals all over, so it was fancy enough when my toes peaked out as I walked. I loved this dress so much, I almost bought it. But I don't have too many places where I'd need to wear a gown, so I reluctantly returned it. But it really is an amazing dress. Definitely rent this if you're thinking about it.

I loved the look of this dress, but it was difficult to zip. There's no stretchy material so sitting was sometimes awkward. I kind of wish I sized up, but luckily it just barely fit because I had no time to get a replacement! If you have broad shoulders/chest, consider sizing up. I wore this for a semi-formal family party and people loved it. 

The dress fit very well and it looked amazing on. The zipper was not easy to get up and the neck Of the dress was a bit flimsy but photographed well so it didn't mess up my pictures. Overall, I was impressed with the service and quality. 

This was even more gorgeous on! It was comfortable too and the perfect length. There was a small tear in the lace, but unnoticeable to the naked eye. Occasionally my 2 inch heel would get stuck in the lace when I stood up. The back is gorgeous, wish it had a built in bra though. 

Fit a little snug through the hips but fit great everywhere else. Wore 10L and high heels. I'm 5'7" and would have liked it slightly longer. The back is very nice. Not too revealing for a formal work event. 

This was a great dress and my first experience with RTR. The dress fit perfectly and hugged all the right places while not being too constricting for dancing. 

Loved this dress, easy to wear, beautiful lace, loved the hemline. Only con... I have no need to wear it again :(

I'm 5'7", 133 lb, 34DD. The 10L was a bit too long, even with 3-4" heels. I would have probably been better with a 12R, so the waist would be a little longer, the dress shorter, and more room in the bodice for DD; but I ordered late so was very happy this one was available. It fit snug, but super-comfortable nonetheless. 

I will point-out that my sandals has some pearl & silver embellishments which were constantly catching the lace dress. So be sure your shoe selection is 'smooth'. 

Everything was perfect. I would go up a size! Very comfortable material 

The 12 was super snug but the 14 was just right hugging all my curves I got compliments all night long and felt BEAUTIFUL! 

This dress was phenomenal, and I'm so glad I decided to go with it. I was initially hesitant because trumpet dresses normally don't work with my body shape, but this one for like a glove and was fitted in just the right spots. It was almost 100 degrees outside when I wore this dress, but I was never hot or uncomfortable at all, which speaks volumes on the quality. I also didn't need to wear a bra even though I have a larger chest, and I was able to sit down and dance with any issue. I also cannot believe the number of compliments I received, and everyone said the dress was stunning. I'd for sure wear this one again!

Loved it. Great fit and well constructed. Beautiful details with the back and lace. Was able to dance all night with no problems. Would rent again for a similar occasion.

I usually wear a size 12 but ordered a 12 and 14 as a backup. Both fit but the 14 gave me more room in the hip area. It is very snug if you are curvy. But i loved the dress, particularly the lace detail. I wore it for a formal wedding.

Read the reviews and thought this is the dress.... but wondered is it really all that?!?! Everyone wrote about the compliments. I'm 5'10" ... 6' with heels and went with the long instead of regular. Perfect length and the back is beautiful. (Wear your hair up, ladies! Show the back off!) The material is a thicker lace... No body slimmers/bra required, and I didn't feel warm in it. It with pretty fitted through the hips, and loose in waist. And yes! It is all that! I, too received compliments on it. 

I loved this dress for black tie wedding... I thought I was going to be burning up in it as it is a thick material but it really wasn't all that bad. I'm usually a 10/12 but I'm glad I went up a size. It was a comfortable fit. Also glad I went with the long!! I'm 5'9" and with a small block heel it was the perfect length!! Perfect rental!! 

I'm 5'5 130 lbs. usually a size 6 for dresses. The size 6 fit like a glove but the zipper was stuck at the seem. The 8 still worked. Made me feel so slim and comfortable. My fave rent yet! The back is gorgeous!!! Didn't have to wear a bra. 

This was my back up dress, as soon as I put it on I fell in love. The dress is a bit heavy and thick, no spanx or bra required. At 5'2 the 4R was just barely sweeping the floor. But do be careful of your heel catching the lace. Very comfortable for dancing and sitting. Absolutely would recommend! 

This is a very beautiful dress. The lace and the detail on the back was very nice BUT this dress is not for anyone over 5'10'" even in the long length.  I ordered a 16 and 18. The 16 would not go up past my hips and the 18 was large in the waist area. I had to use fabric tape to take it in and also add lace to the under skirt to add length. Overall I was please with the look.  I normally wear a 14-16 dress and I am 6'2".  The dress was nice, just not long enough.

This dress fit like a glove. I tend to be full in the middle, but this dress accentuates all the right curves. I got a lot of compliments. It's very classy and dramatic.
