I selected this dress after my original order was returned damaged, and WOW! This is a statement dress. I was initially taken a bit back by how full the skirt was, but I think part of that was also the length. I'm five foot even, so the 6R seemed very overwhelming at first. A package of hem tape later, though, and I could walk in the dress (and even felt like I was gliding!) with 4 inch heels. Overall fit was true to size, though the top gaped when I sat down as the neckline is quite low. Some fashion tape fixed that issue, so not too big a deal. The waistline is very fitted. Although the 4R fit, and was probably a better fit up top, I opted to go with to size that enabled me to breathe. I got a ton of compliments on the dress, and accessorized with gold jewelry. OH! And not to bury the lead, but this thing has pockets too.
This dress was extremely easy to get it and out of, I loved the opening in the back and that I didn't need to wear a bra with this dress. I'm a 36DDD so it's not often I can not wear a bra and still look good. I wore this to my senior recital and it was my second dress. I got compliments all evening from this dress and I most certainly recommend it.
The breast area was a little loose but other than that nothing but complements all night
I wore this dress to a formal New Years party and was the most comfortable lady there! It fit beautifully and even had huge, deep pockets. I carried my phone and lipstick all night without a purse! I'm nearly 6'0" with flats on and this dress skimmed the floor. The negatives....the top gaped open all night and needed pinning. In addition, the skirt was very full and was constantly being stepped on. Styling notes....the color is close to a deep brown with gilded accents. I wore antique Victorian jewelry (it fit the gothic style) and painted my nails dark to keep it fun. Don't bother with heels, the skirt is so big, no one would see them anyway
I am busty (34DD) so the dress was snug on top. It seemed to run small compared to the size tens I usually wear. I pinned it to keep the girls in. Would have probably been more comfortable in the size 12. I am only 5'1" but the skirt just skimmed the ground with 4 inch heels. The dress would be more accurately described as black lace with hints of gold over a taupe silk lining and black tulle . The real life pictures are accurate - not the model pictures .
This dress runs quite large. Definitely order a size down! The ONLY draw back is that I wish I could have cut the stitching in the bust to free the girls a bit, but I would totally rent it again! Showstopper!!!
Fit was too large in the bustling. Color was not true to online depiction. Loved pockets! Felt the bust cut was so deep that I required a shawl all night--but fun dress! Felt like a princess!
Dress fit perfectly. Skirt is big and fuller that complimented my hourglass figure. Didn't want to return! Loved it.
Wore this dress for a Gala I planned at work. I wish the v neck had been a bit more open, but otherwise the cut was incredibly flattering. I was able to wear a regular bra and the pockets were a godsend for carrying what I needed to work. Length was fine with 3" heels, but it is a bit heavy and got hot as the night went on. Loved it and would definitely recommend!
The under layer is slate grey and the black lace overlay has flecks of gold. So the color in person is definitely off from the picture but I loved it. Runs slightly larger than what I normally wear. Was happy to be swimming in the 16 and comfortably fit in the 14. Well constructed. And with decent heels the 14 was the perfect length on my short 5'3 frame
This dress is absolutely beautiful. I found that it ran a little bit bigger than expected and wished I would have gotten a size down instead of a size up for my back up. I did use a safety pin to close the cleavage a little since it was big, but I bet, had I worn a 10, that would not have been an issue. To echo other renters, make sure you're in the a/c because this dress is heavy and will make you very warm. Al in all very happy with this rental!
OMG...this dress was gorgeous! My husband loved it! Unfortunately, the upper zipper had issues the evening I had planned to wear it. I ended up having to dress down in my typical pants/shirt attire. Only to discover, as I was packing it up the next day, that the tiny zipper worked fine but it was difficult in the lighting we had, to see that the zipper pull hadn't secured all the way before zipping it up. Total man fail! If I could have zipped myself into it, I could have worn it. Maybe next time. On a side note,you can wear a normal bra and it doesn't show at all with the way the dress is cut!
The dress was very comfortable and long enough. I was able to wear 4" heels and it barely skimmed the ground. The chest was large and I am a 34G, although I am very narrow in the ribs. I normally wear a 12 or 13 size dress but the 10L fit perfectly. I had to pin the chest area together to keep the girls in considering the event was conservative. The front was otherwise very low cut and would have had way too much cleavage. Even pinned I felt very exposed for most of the night. I also felt like the dress was not very flattering. I have a very narrow waist but a large bottom which caused the dress to flair making me look a lot thicker than I really am. Overall I still loved the dress and it was beautiful.
I wasn't able to get a backup size in this dress for a friends wedding and unfortunately the size that I ordered swallowed me. The dress looked great on most that reviewed it but it was too big everywhere for me. I ended up going with my backup dress
I rented this for a military ball. The dress was easy to wear, was just the right amount of poofy and had pockets (which I always appreciate). The material is a thick black lace over a gold later with tulle underneath. The material scratches the shoulders and arms a bit, but was tolerable. I actually wore the 4R with flats for comfort and you couldn't even tell (I'm 5'6"). The small cutout in the back doesn't necessarily prevent you from wearing a regular bra, but I just went braless since the material is thick and sturdy.
LOVE a dress with pockets. Very comfortable, even if heavy. If you have a very small chest, you may need tape or a pin. The pockets inside are worn down with small holes, but still overall the dress was fantastic.
This gown is truly lovely. The detailing is regal, and it is very sophisticated. However, this gown has a lot of fabric. If you are 5'8", I do NOT recommend ordering the long as I did. It was too long. Overall, I loved wearing this, and the photo attached is actually cropped from a magazine spread I ended up in for attending the event. Also, there are pockets, which is an absolutely lovely feature. If you want to turn heads while keeping a simple elegance to your demeanor, wear this.
I wasn't able to wear this dress because it didn't fit (needed a bigger size), but it was quite lovely in person. It is a heavy dress, though, between the material and a good deal of tulle. Also the color seemed a bit dark for a springtime wedding. But if you have a formal event where a ballgown type dress is appropriate, this will make you feel like a queen.
This dress is the closest thing you'll ever think me in to a ball gown. It was everything you would want...open back, full skirt, gorgeous fabric. My only qualm was that it definitely runs big...I am not well endowed so I had to be sure not to lean over. I'm not sure if the 0 would fit but I may try if I rent again.
I wear between a 14 and a 16. So I ordered one of each to be safe. The size 14 gown was too big. I was bummed since this gown was my first choice. I recommend ordering a size down from what you normally wear.
Dress was beautiful, lots of compliments. Do not recommend for a Mardi Gras ball as it is very heavy and has a train which are not ideal for dancing. Not really sure what I was thinking when I picked it. But it's a gorgeous dress otherwise!
I rented this as a back up and it is a great gown. It wasn't as fitted as I would like with my hourglass figure, but it would be an awesome gown if you could fill the top out.
Great dress and was complimented all night.. down side, it was too large. I had no time to get a new gown and the fabric was so heavy safety pins just wouldn't do. I ended up having to wrap the dress around the waist and securing it with an long obi belt to make it wearable. The lace overlay was also stretched in some spots causing it to bunch oddly but these were small things that didn't detract from how great a gown it was. I'd rent again.
This dress was fabulous! I received so many compliments! It has a little train so if you are short like me people stepped on it a bit. It is on the heavier side, but gorgeous. It was a tiny bit big in the chest and has a deep V even in the larger size. Overall I loved it!
6 was too large in the bust and arms... 4 fit snug but looked more flattering. Hard to wear any sort of bra with this dress. I am 5'9" and 145lbs so the long with heels was perfect!
Great dress! Great fit! Loved this for a formal Great Gatsby themed wedding! My forth time using RTR...Great experience! XO
Wore this dress for NYE gala in D.C.....I loved the dress overall. Unfortunately I ordered a 12L which turned out to be too long for me. I'm 5'7 and wanted to wear very high heels and figured I needed the extra length. But the regular probably would of fit me better. Other than that the dress fit me perfectly and I can't wait to try other dresses through this site:)
This is a very classy and elegant dress!
I have small shoulders and this dress didn't work for me. Loved the color though!
As a 5'10" woman it's rare to find something that's long on me. This dress was very long, I wore heels as well. Unless you're 6'0" or taller, I'd recommend the regular. The size was a true fit though.
Fit true to size. Has deep pockets. Very flattering. You'll need a safety pin if your big chested. Perfect length for heels or flats. Full skirt.
This dress was beautiful and perfect for a more glamorous engagement shoot! True to size and height so make sure you pay attention to R vs L sizes.
This dress was stunning! It ran true to size through the body and is very long, I am 5'10" and the lace overlay dusted the ground. #myRTR #thegorgeousunknown #washingtonsunset #weddingguest
I ordered 4 dresses in varying sizes. This was my first time using RTR so I wasn't sure what to expect. customer service was amazing! I got my first dress (this one) on a Friday for a gala on Saturday evening. It arrived early afternoon but did not fit. So, I called customer service and they promptly helped me find 3 more dresses in a range of sizes because I was so unsure after my first pick (this one) was so large. Customer services promised I would have them by noon Saturday morning. I was very skeptical. I got a package at 9am! This dress was so pretty, and I loved how it fit my midsection. When I put it on my husband said "wow." The bottom skirt is very full and would've swirled around on the dance floor. I am full 38DD and the top was gaping. It's not a problem I usually have! I probably could have ordered a 14 and it would have fit. I tried to do some pinning initially, but it really just couldn't work for how formal the event was. I'm pretty sure if the dress had fit, I would've been comfortable in it. Oh, and length: I would've had to wear some pretty high heels. The lace was long and dragging on the floor. I am 5'8. It really is an amazing dress, but didn't fit my body type :( I might try to order it again in a few sizes to see if one would work.
I originally had a 4L as my back up dress, but my first choice dresses did not come and the 4L was too big. Luckily the RTR crew was fantastic and mailed the 2L and 0L to my hotel for the wedding. The 2L fit perfect. I am a nursing mother so the top did get a bit snug as the night went on (you can see some pulling in the pic). Overall I was very comfortable and got lots of compliments on my dress! Love the little train in the back! As some others have said it IS a lot of dress and you really need to heave it around to get up flights of stairs safely!
This dress is stunning! The color is a beautiful green-gold that is hard to see in the picture. I felt so beautiful and received so many compliments with this dress, and it has pockets!
Pretty dress but I wish I would have ordered a smaller size (not something I usually find myself saying ). I think it would look great if you had a really full bust. It was very comfortable. The only downside to this dress is the outer layer is kind of this fabric, lace like, material they can easily catch on things around you I was worried it would rip.
I love this dress! It was so comfortable, though a bit heavy. I wore it for a black tie event and got many compliments. The skirt is quite full and the outer layer is an open lace. I got hung on things a couple of times. It was a tad long for me in flats (5'6") but would be good with a couple more inches of heel. Overall, a gorgeous dress.
Overall I loved the dress but if you have broad shoulders I would go a size up. I am 5'2 so it was quite long on me.
Fit just like advertised
