Happy New Year!

The perfect strapless dress that as a full busted girl did not need to be pulled up all night! The fabric was gorgeous, I LOVED this dress. The high low features were perfect and it was thick enough to keep me comfortable on a chilly NYE night.

Our best friend's New Years Eve wedding!

Gorgeous dress! Loved the color and the fabric and the shape. I loved the textured detail. I got so many compliments. It was a little difficult to zip up and I was only able to get one size (2). It ended up being a good fit albeit a little tight. The hem work is a little shotty. It was not sew in at all so I had to pin it, but RTR was so great to me! Incredible customer service, can't wait for my next rental!

It was a beautiful but very hot sunny day for a wedding! The dress was a bit heavy but so gorgeous!

My very first RTR experience! This dress definitely runs small, especially if you are busty! Im a 34D, athletically built,128 pounds & I usually wear a 4. I couldn't even zip it up the back. My backup size was the 6, thank goodness, because that's what I ended up wearing. You need to go a size or two up from your usual. It flows beautifully & is definitely a showstopper with the vibrant red color & the high low style. The boning makes it almost "corset like" up top so there is no need for a bra! The pockets were a perk too. I wore silver heels and a silver clutch with red & turquoise/silver jewelry. It worked perfectly with the dress! I got so many compliments all night long. Keep in mind, the dress is heavy, so it may not be great for an outdoor summer wedding. Other than that, I'm very pleased and I will definitely rent again!

Corset inside the dress is not stretchy. Go up a size if you have a wide rib cage.

I am 5' 0" and about 130 lbs. I LOVED this dress. The high low is amazing and really makes a statement. The only issue I ran into is that the corset inside the dress isn't forgiving or stretchy at all. I have a very wide rib cage so I had to get an 8 when I usually wear a 4-6.

This dress was perfect for an evening, black tie wedding!

I loved how this dress fit. It was perfect for dancing, as the hi-lo bottom never got in the way and the supportive boning on the inside held up the strapless top for a worry-free evening! I was able to comfortable wear it without a bra, but the top was pretty tight and held everything in place.

An all time favorite - perfect for a Napa wedding

This dress is very structured which is why I say it runs a bit small. Otherwise I'd say true to size. Love this dress. The pockets are great. It is a very high quality material too. Love love love it

Obsessed with this dress!

I got it as a backup dress for a philanthropy event but ended up wearing it because it was so beautiful! I put "true to size" because I feel like it probably is for most women, but if you're like me (very large chest) definitely order up a size. I'm usually a 4 and I was squeezed in reeeeeal tight wearing the 6. Other than that, super flattering fit and amazing color.

Great dress for a wedding!

Beautiful dress. Def runs small through the ribcage. I usually wear a 2 and went with the four even though it ended up being a little loose around the bust. I am 4,10 and 110lbs. Good for shorties. Long in the back (floor length) but elegant and not overwhelming on a small frame. Nice detailing. My friend in the photo also wore RTR and looked great.

Loved it!

I wore this dress to a black tie wedding in the Fall and it was absolutely perfect. I got so many compliments all night about it. The color is stunning and the fabric is really unique. So comfortable and easy to move in. It fit slightly snug in the waist but overall it fit like I expected it to. Definitely recommend!

Perfect color, rich fabric - so fun to wear!

I loved wearing this dress to a fall wedding. The color and fabric were so rich and the high-low is a favorite look for me. It was a bit big in the bust but not too bad. I was sad to send it back!

Wonderful for Formal Affair

Love the length. For true to size, tight enough to stay up strapless. Not super breathable, so maybe don't eat a huge dinner after you put it on. It's perfect for dancing. I could take off my shoes and still not step on it. 10/10 I had a great time in this dress and got tons of compliments.

Love this!

I rented the stress for a formal wedding and it was definitely a showstopper! I would say it runs very true to size maybe a little on the bigger and especially on top. It has a built-in bra so you don't need to wear one which was awesome, it also has pockets! I'm pretty sure I sent my lipstick back with my rental hope the next person enjoys it. I got so many compliments.

Fabulous dress for Casablanca themed party!

This dress was AMAZING! I received a ton of compliments and I loved wearing it! The fabric is thick but not heavy, and the design is just enough to make the dress standout without sequins or sparkle. The back of the dress can drag if you aren't tall enough or heels aren't high enough, just FYI.

I love this dress!! I wanted something different for my engagement pics and this was perfect!

I think it runs small, but then again I could have just grown because I used to be a size 2. The dress was so much fun and it definitely turned heads! photography: jami clayman :)

This dress is classy and elegant! Got compliments all night long!

The texture of this dress is so unique. It's extremely comfortable and the fabric is thick - it kept me warm for my winter affair! The dress is true to size, however, my bust is a problem area (34A) and the dress still felt slightly big in this area for me. Overall, it fit my body type perfectly and I felt so confident in it!

Great Dress

I can normally wear anywhere from a 0 to 4 when ordering dressed from RTR; ordered a 2 and 4 based on other reviews and luckily I got squeeze the zipper shut on the size 4! I wouldn't change a thing about this dress, though- got many compliments and it was comfortable.

I LOVE this dress. It matched perfectly with Marines dress blues.

The fit is fantastic and although the dress is strapless, I didn't have to pull it up all night. One of the most comfortable dresses I've ever worn. The dress has a built-in bra, which I didn't think I would like but ended up loving. The dress also has pockets so I was able to attend the Marines Ball without taking a clutch with me -- so convenient. The dress is SO unique. The pattern on the dress is absolutely beautiful. I wish I didn't have to send it back!

Gorgeous dress, so easy to wear!

I received this dress in the mail for NYE and I knew right away it would be a hit! The fit is tight in the upper chest, as other reviewers have indicated, but it fit so snugly and comfortably in the size 4. I wore it with a chunky necklace, black and gold heels, and gold earrings and was complimented all night on the dress. Even when I had an enormous meal that night, the dress didn't feel tight. A knock-out for sure.

Great dress for a winter event!

This dress fit right in the bodice but was high enough that it was like wearing an empire waist. The material was thick and great for a winter wedding. The dress has pockets which was super convenient for holding my phone and lip gloss. The length is great with heels or flats!

Nice winter dress

The dress is a pretty bright red with pockets. The material is heavy and almost feels quilted. I wore it with a shawl and black patent belt. The bust is very small, go a size up-it's very tight on your rib cage. Overall enjoyed this dress a lot,

RTR saved the evening as did this dress!!!!

I had ordered the gold goddess gown which didn't flatter me at all. It looked very big and blousy. I contacted RTR and told them I loved this dress and they overnighted me the 4 which happily worked PERFECTLY! You'll need help to zip it up by the way but once on, it's very pretty and flattering and the material is thick and structured. There is a bra insert which was super handy so no bra required. I received many compliments on the dress, paired with my red stiletto sandals. It was the ideal holiday party outfit; classy, becoming and sumptuous! I found the sizing to be perfect, though many others appeared not to have found it so. But that maybe because I have a smaller back, though am endowed ;) I wish I could afford to own this dress!

First time I didn't have to constantly pull up a strapless gown!

The pockets were SO convenient. No need to wear a bra as there's one built in with a bra-like clasp (the dress back zips over that). The bodice was very secure and through a few hours of dancing I didn't need to adjust it or pull it back up.
