This was a tight squeeze so attending this wedding solo I needed help to zip up this dress. The arm tightness prevents you from zipping up the dress fully, but didn't prevent raising my arms for dancing. But it was stunning and I got lots of compliments. Wore kitten heels and the length was the right and didn't drag on the ground at all. 

The dress is long if you’re on the shorter side, you’ll need tall shoes. 

Fit a little small in the bust area, would size up one size

Lots of compliments. I wore a black bra with narrow straps under it rather than strapless and they just looked like part of the dress. A bit snug around the middle but was still comfortable. 

Loved this dress, but it was tight. I wear 14 pants comfortably/loose, and can sometimes squeeze into my 12s, but I should have ordered sooner and gotten the 16.  It was a struggle to zip. However, the material was wonderful and it didn’t LOOK too small. I got so many compliments. As other reviews here say, the sleeve is tight around the arms, but I would absolutely recommend this dress. 

I loved this dress so much. I sized up by one size and that was the right choice. I have a brought back and shoulders (swimmer life), so anything with a restrictive back won't fit in my normal size (12-14). With that being said, the size 14 almost fit me, but didn't because of my broad back/shoulders. The only con with this dress is that I couldn't raise my arms above my shoulders, but that was alright with me. I didn't wear a bra, but did have silicon cups on in case of chafe, which didn't occur. I'd rent this again!


Ribbon around stomach becomes a bit constricting & uncomfortable, so if you’re carrying some holiday weight or bloat in the belly be mindful!😉 other than that, tons of compliments on this dress.

The zipper is very firm and hard to get on. Also it’s a little tight around the arm.

I loved this dress, the fabric was beautiful and I received compliments all night. The 10 fit slightly better than the 14, but the shoulders were crazy tight if I tried to move my arms, so be warned to size up if you want to move your arms at all. I would wear again!

The length is perfect for sandals or heels! I got so many compliments. I wore simply gold earrings, no need for a necklace. 

She is a bit more petite than I am, 5,3 so you will need a little bit of a heel. Can be tight if you C sized breast. But otherwise gorgeous dress!

I had ordered another dress for a wedding that I was excited to wear, so I was very disappointed when, 2 days before the dress delivery, I was told that the dress could not be shipped to me and I needed to choose something else. With only 2 days to go, there wasn't much of a selection, but I selected this dress and hoped for the best. Did I ever luck out! The wedding we went to was black tie, with an outdoor garden ceremony, and this dress was PERFECT. I'm short - only about 5'3" - so this dress was just about floor length with 2" heels. The top of the dress covered me up, but the mesh didn't make me feel stuffy or conservative. The fit was perfect - curve-hugging without being tight, flattering in every way, and flowy and fun for the dance floor. I typically wear a 14, and I wore the 16 in this dress (with smoothing shapewear underneath, as it is a fitted dress). I would rent this dress again in a heartbeat - this time as my FIRST choice. 

Loved this! Got a ton of compliments. For sure size up as it does run a little small. The arms were tight and not a ton of mobility there but overall nice dress!

Fit a little tight in the sleeves but was fine for the event. Received so many compliments and was very comfortable. 

Arms were tight, and I wore a body shaper for tummy. But, I felt beautiful and mostly comfortable for a 5 hour event! Just couldn’t raise my arms above my head. 

The colors are vibrant and so pretty! The sheer top is flattering while providing plenty of coverage. The length hit me at my ankle, but still looked good with heels. Comfortable to sit in, too. 

I’m 59 but on the younger side 😉, so wanted something that was not too conservative but not “hoochie momma” either. This dress was perfect. 

  I ordered a size 8 even though I usually wear a six because previous reviews mentioned it ran small and there wasn’t a 6 available.  Glad I did and think a 10 would’ve been more comfortable.  Thought it was tea or midi length but on me it was long and the perfect length for my lower heels. (This event had a lot of walking around and comfy shoes were critical.).  The dress was very pretty and I received so many compliments.  But definitely size up about 2 sizes unless you want to feel constricted.  This fabric has no give whatsoever.  

All in all I was pleased with the service and the dress.  I will definitely RTR again if I have another fun event to attend.  

I am 5'3 and weigh 98 lbs. The size 0 was a bit tight in tge back. The size 2 fit was perfect! I will DEFINITELY use again!! Everything was so easy, to the ordering to the return. I highly recommend!

wore this dress for a school event and I was the best dressed! this dress is so well made, the details are beautiful, and it is so comfortable to wear!

The dress is supposed to be ankle length but was more floor length on me, which I think was actually prettier, so great dress if petite.  Size up if bigger bust, as there is no give.  

This dress worked great. It fit very well, but there wasn’t tons of room around my hips. I danced all night without any complaints. 

You know how you utilize RTR because you only go to so many formal affairs a year... THIS one I would buy!!

I wore this to my friends wedding and found it last minute! Fit was perfect but fabric does not stretch so maybe size up. 

I liked the stress and thought the details were well done and beautiful. Even though a lot of the reviews says it runs small, I felt it fit true to size as long as you don’t have a large chest. If you do, I’d recommend sizing up because that’s the tightest part. Movement in my shoulders was restricted by the cap sleeves, and the neckline was tight irritated my skin (it was red by the end of the night). 

I loved wearing this dress! The embroidery is beautiful and it fit nicely! Throughout the event I received so many nice compliments. My only dislike about the dress is that I couldn’t lift my arms past my shoulders when I was dancing. Otherwise, I’m happy I decided to go with this option! :)

This dress was very comfortable and appropriate for a black tie optional wedding. The length was very nice hitting at the ankle rather than on the ground so it was easy to walk around. Only con was that the sleeves were a bit tight so I could not reach my arms all the way up, but this was not a major issue overall.

I rented this dress for a black tie wedding and loved it!  I am 5’2” and wore flats, and had to use hem tape to shorten the skirt a little, which was no problem.  I agree with other reviewers that it’s a little tight in the arm area so it’s hard to lift your arms to dance, but I didn’t let that stop me.  I also used nipple covers and didn’t wear a bra.  I got so many compliments on the dress, felt great wearing it, and would totally do so again!

I'm 126, 5'5 and have broader shoulders and didn't notice any of the tightness that some mentioned - fit like a glove! Perfect fit for the Bridgerton event but I would also rent again for a wedding or something - great fit! 

Loved this dress for something different. Could go black tie or more causal. Runs small but great fit! 

Stunning dress! I wanted an elegant summer rehearsal dinner dress but not " fancy"... Black with embroidered flowers in a dream color palette was perfect! The illusion chest and sleeves were flattering & feminine! Long length was exactly what I wanted and this dress was very comfortable! Loved this dress & wore it once more because I had too!!

This was my first rental and I was thrilled with this dress. I was able to dance and feel comfortable and received many compliments. 

The dress fit perfectly and the slip has the perfect stretch to it. It hit right at my ankles. It was great for an outdoor wedding in the spring/summer. 

The fit was snug around my waist where the seam line was, so may have been better to wear one size up. But I received so many compliments on the dress! 

I am 5'0" but I naively hoped this dress would just be a maxi on me. It turned out to be just a touch too tall for my frame even when I wore my tallest 3"/4" heels. Just keep that in mind if you are a shorty like me!! It fit well otherwise and I still got lots of compliments.

I went with this dress for work's gala event since I wanted a dress that was not too revealing but would still make me feel cute. I wear a 34B bra and the boob area was a bit awkward because it had too much room. I'm 5'7 and the length was perfect. Otherwise a beautiful dress and it worked out very nicely. Got lots of compliments! 

This dress was perfect for my graduation. I was getting compliments all day. It stuck out perfectly under my gown, added some glam, and matched my school and college colors perfectly. My only complaint was that there are some weird criss-crosses across the dress that kind of dug-in in weird spots. It looked really silly across my butt, but it wasn't a problem because I was wearing my gown most of the day. 

Worn to a formal wedding.  Very comfortable and received a ton of compliments.  You will need a strapless bra or tape because the top portion is sheer.  It fit my chest well but might not work if you have a larger cup size.  Loved it!

This dress is stunning! The pictures don't do it justice. I have never had more compliments! The embroidery detail is exquisite and the material flowed nicely in all the right places. The only downsides: it runs small (I'm typically a size 8-10 and the 14 fit perfectly), the cap sleeves restrict arm movement (especially overhead), and it was a bit long (I'm 5'2", wore 4 1/4 inch heels and the hem skimmed the floor. I am wearing flats in the picture). All-in-all, I would definitely rent it again!

I ended up not wearing because I loved my backup dress more, but definitely would have been happy with this is. The embroidery is beautiful and the dress is a fun for a formal or black tie event. Runs small. I have a small chest but larger arms and hips. Im usually a 10 but the 12 fit well. I didn't love the seam that ran right under my stomach and butt, accentuated it a little too much so the A-line didn't flow smoothly. Couldn't lift arms and top is a bit itchy.
