Slightly tight on me, but an 8 wasn’t available so I made it work. It did hold the boobs in nicely though. This is definitely a big cleavage dress, so if that’s not your style this might not be for you. Wish i could buy this!

The dress itself was very beautiful and perfect for a New Years Eve wedding. The length was great and was comfortable to wear. Fashion tape is an absolute must with this dress. I used the tape on the bust and the straps. 

Worn to a black tie wedding and received lots of compliments. The waist is really snug, even sized up and the dress is fairly low cut. Would be nice if the straps were adjustable too. It wasn’t too difficult to wear all night but it was definitely tight through the ribs. 

I ordered a size 8 & 12. (No 10 available). Luckily the 8 fit. Smidge tight but was so comfortable. 10/10 for pockets too. I got so many compliments on this dress from everyone. I have bigger thighs and hips so i found this with a little higher cut. It fit perfect and didn't pinch to make me look like a cupcake. As for the boobs, it was a little loose. I could only wear nipple covers and not pads but no slips were had that night. Would get again if i needed

This dress is kind of a dream. I had two weddings to go to and had originally rented a different dress, but RTR informed me that dress could not be sent, so I chose this one instead and I LOVED it. It's perfect for a summer wedding and I felt incredible and comfortable in it the entire time. 
It falls so nicely on your body and is a killer dancing dress! 
I'm iffy with the sizing, the bust area is a little loose, but I never had concerns about falling out of it. 
I highly recommend! 

Incredibly flattering and got so many compliment on the fit etc. My one major issue was the zipper wouldn't go past the change in fabric (not because it was too small). It seemed like the zipper was too small for the thickness of the fabric. It worked out because it just looked like an open back but that was frustrating. 

This dress was tough to get on and off but fit like a glove!!! Comfortable, got tons of compliments and has pockets! Def at risk for spillage but I found this to be safer sans bra or pasties as the fabric held in place better without anything underneath - had no issues dancing the night away. Would rent again in a heartbeat!

This dress was absolutely gorgeous but I was simply too stressed about my boobs popping out to wear it. The torso was quite tight but the straps were still loose, leaving the cups also loose. The dress would have been fine to stand in but basically any movement would cause the straps to slip, cups to fall, etc. I wanted to wear this dress so badly but the fit just didn’t work.

Rented this dress for a fancy end of the year party and it was amazing! It fit well in the bust/ waist areas the only problem was that the straps were a bit long. I secured them in the back with some pins and it wasn't a problem. Overall it is a bit heavy so I wouldn't recommend for summer, but still great for dancing indoors!

Super comfortable! Nice fit.  The only issue I had was the front, it was made for someone with a bit more boob, had this been my dress I would have had cups sewn in.  Also, strapless bra did not work-too visible.  So, no bra for me but the girls stayed put. And it has pockets-deep enough for my phone!

Love the fabric and pattern, has pockets! Overall very beautiful dress. Made my chest look nice but felt like I could slip out at any moment. Would not recommend for anybody looking for a more conservative dress or if you are larger chested. 
I also have a short torso so it was tight in the rib cage area and the material isn't super forgiving which was annoying. Probably my one negative about the dress 

I felt confident in this dress. It fit well and hid my stomach. It is low in front, but I found there was good structure and fabric to support my chest. I was able to go without a bra and just wear petals. The day ended up being 84F outside, so the layers were a bit thick. I did end up putting on a jacket to keep the girls in during dancing. Tea length on me. Wasn't too fancy, but fancy enough for a cocktail attire wedding.

I wore this to afternoon tea for my birthday. It fit amazing and I got many compliments! I have an hourglass shape it fit perfectly for my event 

Loved the make of the dress; the synched waist and a-line skirt...HOWEVER, the only drawback was the chest. I showed a little too much cleavage. Well, more than i normally show. Most of the night was spent making sure The Girls didn't come out. Definitely not for us busty girls. 

The reviews are correct, it does not matter what size/cup you are - the dress is cut in a way, that although gorgeous, is very revealing. It is almost an empire style cut, so it does cut right under the breast and flare out from there. The dress is a wonderfully heavy material. I am 5-11 and 240lbs. I am a true apple shape. My bra size is a 42D/40C. It was tight and would have preferred an 18, but it wasn't available. I wish I can own this dress! 

Really great dress that can be dressed up or down depending on occasion.  The material was thick and nice quality.  The straps were a bit too long and I would caution if you are extra busty.  I had to use tape to keep the top in place.

I wore this as a wedding guest to a March wedding in North Carolina and felt perfectly dressed for the occasion! Monique Lhuillier makes beautiful clothes, and this dress is no exception! The material is robust, and the design is delicate and feminine. My one gripe is that I couldn't find a bra that accommodated the plunge of the neckline-even a dedicated "plunge" adhesive bra-so I had to go bra-less. Still had no issues dancing because the material is robust enough to keep everything secure! 

This dress is absolutely stunning, I received a ton of compliments and loves the pattern, the pockets and most of the fit. However, I had to be on boob watch all night long as they were on fully display and dangerously close to popping out altogether. I dismissed all the reviews that warned of this assuming they all had a larger chest (I'm a B), but the cleavage was real. Overall I did love the dress and felt beautiful but would not rent again bc of the stress associated. 

Loved this dress. Would rent it again. Was a little snug / hard to fit in the dress but once on fit like a glove. 

No regrets renting this dress. True to size fit, pockets, and hit just above the ankles. 

I received so many compliments on this dress. I was worried I would match the curtains, this pattern did not seem that flattering online but once I put it I wanted to wear it all weekend. The length was perfect, the waist was not to snug, it was not extremely heavy like I expected and best of all it has pockets! I kept my lip gloss, phone, hair clips & mascara in the pockets all night and nothing was lost throughout the chaos and dancing. The bust was a bit loose is the only negative (34B-32C)

Flattering fit and beautiful print. It was a little more low cut than I expected but still worked great. I was afraid the straps would be long based on some other reviews but they were perfect for me. The only problem was that it was hard to zip because of a thick band of fabric on the waist but other than that it was great. Got lots of compliments! 

I wore this for a black tie optional outdoor spring wedding and loved it. The material was a nice thick jacquard texture but breathable. The ankle length made it formal enough but still modern. I am between a 2-4 but went with the 4 as the material does not stretch much. 

I love this dress! The length was absolutely perfect. The only issue that I had was it didn't do a great job keeping my boobs secure. I felt like I had to keep shoving them down into the dress to avoid having a wardrobe malfunction. Other than that, beautiful!

I loved this dress. I wore it to a black tie wedding and it was perfect. I am very small on top and the straps fit perfectly which was great. It was a little more low cut than expected but was fine. Very high quality fabric. I would definitely rent this again. 

The dress is beautiful and well made, but for some reason didn't fit right. I'm a 34B, 135lbs and 5ft 4", and the boobs were too big because the straps were too long (and not adjustable). On top of that, the dress was oddly short and I got a 6R. I was falling out so bad I had to change half way through the wedding! 

Slightly low cut but overall fit well, was comfortable, and had pockets! Would definitely recommend for a wedding or formal event. 

Rented this dress for a black tie optional October wedding & it was perfect! I'm just over 6'1 and a size 8, and wanted to opt for a non-floor length dress to avoid a high waters scenario. The length was great! Perfect for a more formal Catholic ceremony (with a shawl on top). I would say that this dress could look very different if I had a larger chest. The neckline is definitely plunging, and the shape would be tricky to wear with a bra if you need the support. Overall 10/10 for me!

I absolutely loved this dress! It was perfect and I felt gorgeous and unique all night! I'm giving it 4 stars because the boob issue is real. I have no chest and still felt very exposed when sitting...thank goodness I had a scarf. 

Beautifully made with a timeless silhouette. Heavy on the cleavage, yes, but I did not experience the slippage others are mentioning - I felt securely held in place for the entire night, from dinner to the dance floor. For the first time I didn't wish I was wearing anybody else's dress. 

I'm 6'0 and this dress was classic tea-length on me. Pockets are deep enough to hold a phone and a room key and won't bounce onto the floor while dancing. I loved this dress and had an incredible time in it! 

really gorgeous dress with beautiful fabric. I rented for a black tie optional wedding and it was perfect for the late summer/ early fall weather. 

Love EVERYTHING about this dress other than the straps (like all the other reviews say) are way too long. I don't think I've ever had such good posture -_- but other than making eating incredibly difficult (boobs fall out every time you bend your arm) it was incredible!

Truly beautiful! The straps were a bit long a slipped down - but nothing to extreme. I would HIGHLY recommend fashion tape to keep the top in place as a NuBra clasp was still visible so not an option. I was head over heels in love with this dress and received compliments all night. 

I loved this dress! I was worried that the heavier material would be an issue, but even though it's kind of thick fabric, it felt and moved light and airy. I liked that it was short enough that it didn't get in my way when I was dancing or walking, but long enough to be appropriate for a black tie wedding. I ordered the 8 and the 10 because a 6 wasn't available, and ended up wearing the 8. The 8 fit great - I probably could have worn the 6 but it might have been tight. It was a little bit showy on the décolletage, so if you're not into cleavage this probably isn't the dress for you. But I thought this walked the perfect balance of being both sexy and classy, and fit my personality amazingly well. I felt incredible in it all night long. 

Thanks for the review!! Saved me from a lot of heartache!

I range anywhere from an 8-14 in dresses and earlier this week was on the lower side of my size spectrum and feeling good... this otherwise STUNNING dress brought me back down to earth.  The embroidery and fabric quality is top notch but the sizing is anything but forgiving.  Unfortunately it's way too busty for this weekend's wedding festivities - but maybe if I'm feeling bold, I'll rent again for a city night.

Right in chest but perfect in every other way. Would rent again. 

This dress fit perfectly. The material was heavy for a summer wedding but overall I absolutely loved this dress! 

Seriously beautiful. Got called a German princess by one of the bridesmaids! Lol. It runs a tad tight (though that might have been all the barbecue I ate in the few days we were in Texas for the wedding). The straps aren't adjustable and were pretty snug on my broader shoulders so that's something to think about! The low cut was fine with my flat post nursing boobs, but girls with more perky cleavage should be warned! Overall fantastic and I got TONS of compliments. 

This dress was overall amazing! A lot of compliments! The length was perfect. It was a bit tight in the rib cage and a pretty low neckline so I could not wear a bra. However, I did not feel like I needed it. Did need to use some double sided tape to make sure there were no spills since the straps were a bit loose. I typically wear a size 8 so it was pretty true to size.
