This gown is beautiful. I did not end up wearing it because it was not good for my body type. I had the size 0 and it fit a little big in the waist and felt a little frumpy: I had the petite as a backup and it was the same just too short. 

It's heavy, substantial, and well-made. You can literally feel the quality. I loved this dress the second I put it on...the sparkles are so beautiful and not tacky (I don't usually like sequins, took a risk on this). Was perfect for a formal/ black tie optional wedding in an art deco venue. 

Absolutely loved this dress and got so many compliments!

Many compliments on this dress. Beauty, comfy fit. 

Rented for a nonprofit gala and received so many compliments throughout the evening.   I’m 5’4 / 135 with a 32DDD chest and it fit perfectly.  I wore a 4in heel and the length just brushed the floor.   

I loved this and felt very glamorous. Wore to a gala and got a lot of compliments. The slit is a little high, especially when you’re sitting, so just be prepared for that. Also runs a little big, I probably could’ve gotten a 6, but I loved the dress! 

This dress was a total show stopper at a black tie event. I felt great and it was very comfortable for sitting for a long meal as well as dancing all night. I didn’t want to take her off ever!!!

Hugged me in all the right places. Material was heavy and thick and stretchy, perfect for cooler temps. I got soooo many compliments, and my date was so proud. This should be advertised for petite. The sleeves were nearly the right length! 

For your search, I am 44 yo, 34/36C, hips 38/39, large legs, athletic build with a muscular shoulders, short hips, and I weighed 148 at the time of this photo. 

True to size and also forgiving with a bit of a stretch. Easy to move in and could wear for hours if needed. Wore 3" heels, and the length was perfect.

This dress was my first choice (mainly because the arm it shows is my tattoo sleeve arm 😅) and I am so so glad it looked even better in person than in the photos. It was so flattering, and I felt so confident in it. It would work for several occasions but was particularly perfect for a gala-type event. I was tempted to purchase it, it was hard to mail it back!

So comfy, fitted and forgiving on the tummy. Perfect dress for a party the slit was high but not too high. You feel sexy but covered. The sequins looked high quality.

I’m a short gal and the petite size was the perfect length. It was comfortable and fabric had some give to it, well appreciated while attempting to drop it low on the dance floor. lol. Would DEFINITELY rent again. 

Im 5’9 the length was perfect , could wear no bra but i opted to here. The sequin didnt bother my bare arm until about 6 hours in! 

Wore this to a fundraiser where I met actor Christian Slater. It flattered my figure in the right ways. The slit is pretty high on the left leg. 

I loved this dress! The color and cut are unique and it was comfortable enough to dance in all night. I was worried because I am very broad shouldered but it wasn't too tight and felt comfortable. One thing to note - I'm 5'2" and wore 6-inch heels and the dress was still on the floor. Thank goodness I didn't get the regular! 

Pros:
Dress fit (and was even a tad too big)
Great length 
Good price point 

Cons:
Zipper hard to get up over middle of “track”where fabric is thicker 
Requires a one-shoulder bra, which isn’t the best support when you’re large chested
My exposed left arm was rubbed raw from the sequins underneath. 

Perfect length for petites and easy to wear all night. I am 5'3 and wore the regular length, which worked even changing into sneakers. Could wear a regular bra and just tuck one strap. Such high quality sequins and got a lot of compliments!

This fit true to size and the tummy area was very forgiving. The material is quite thick but still easy to move in. 

This was the perfect dress for a gala I attended. I felt confident and it fit like a glove. I received so many compliments that night. 

Was a bit tight in the shoulder but I could pull it off! Felt like a million bucks in this dress. 

Why is this the stretchiest, most comfortable eveningwear gown...?! Never experienced this from formalwear! TONS of compliments, too-- expensive and high-quality sequins (not gaudy-looking or -feeling), and REALLY great for petites: The heels in this pic are like 2" heels, and I'm 5'2"-- but the hem didn't drag on the ground. So, a comfortable dress AND comfortable shoes, even though I'm a petite. Big win for the whole evening!

I had to wear an 8R because it was the only size available. A 6 probably would have been a better fit but overall the 8 worked fine. No special undergarments needed, and the material is fairly thick with the beading/sequins. I'm 5'5" and had on 3" heels. I was very comfortable all night in this dress.

It’s SO SPARKLY! I love the little pouf at the top of the shoulder and waist ruching. Took a gamble on this and it did not disappoint. I have a small bust, a size 6 in a-line/waist but more like a size 10-12 in hips and am almost 6’. I agonized over the size I chose and luckily I think the 8L was the correct choice. Bust was slightly loose and hips not too snug due to nice stretch in fabric. Slit VERY high, especially when I sat down. I had nude tights I planned to wear that had a thigh shaper and it really showed, so I ended up having to have a bare leg, even in the long length. If you’re going to wear shapewear, get tights that don’t have a thigh/leg transition and are all one color or a high leg brief. I wore flats but a heel would have also worked even at my height. I rarely feel like I’m wearing the perfect thing but this time I totally did! I got compliments all night and felt amazing in it!

We made last minute plans for NYE, with only 2 days notice. Was super nervous, knowing there wouldn’t be a ton of choices available that could also ship in time. Found this one and ordered on Sunday, delivery projected Tuesday (NYE) between 2:45pm & 6:45pm. Needing to leave for the event at 5:00, and not having the dress yet, I threw on something else, and was literally pulling out of my driveway when the UPS truck pulled up behind me. Ran back inside, some Spanx and heels, and I was back in the car 8 minutes later. Got multiple compliments on this dress all night. RTR saved the day, as usual. The dress (size 10R) fit perfectly. It has some stretch, making it easy to move around in. The length was perfect. I’m 5’4 and with 3.5 inch heels, it hit the floor exactly right. The sequins scratched my underarm a bit on the sleeveless side, but I expected that because…sequins. Felt confident and beautiful, and would wear this again, for sure. 

Really likes this rental for a formal wedding in the evening. Could've maybe gone down to a size 6. But the eight was fine. Multiple compliments from all age ranges. Highly recommend.

I'm very short and this ML was perfect with a heel. It was sexy, but still elegant.

Wore this to a semi-formal Christmas party and received so many compliments! It hugs you but has ruching near the stomach so hides that area. It was a good balance between sexy and conservative for a work event so I was super pleased with it. The sequin beading really elevates this dress; you can just tell it's well made and expensive. So glad I rented this one! 

This was a nice dress. I wore it for a night out in Vegas. I think it was sized accurately. It fit me a little loose but I’m in between sizes currently. It does have a high slit on the side, so keep that in mind if you are planning on wearing any shapewear. I ended up not having to wear any because of the fit, but thought I would need it because of its style. It is a heavy material but worked for a 40-50 degree December night. 

Wore this & it was comfortable & flattering. The wrap style makes it forgiving across the stomach & the material is nice & stretchy. I received many compliments & highly recommend!

This dress was everything I needed it to be and more!

The pictures do not do this dress and the sequins justice. Comfortable, flattering, perfect. 

This was my backup backup dress and ended up being my absolute favorite. So much I wore it to both of my black tie events. It fit a little bit big but not big enough that you could tell. It was stretchy throughout. I was so comfortable and felt like a million bucks. I got so many compliments too. 

Comfortable fit with a bit of stretch and nice thick material. I wore this to a black tie fundraiser in late fall and felt very comfortable and elegant all night. Got the 4L and 6L and while both fit fine I wore the 6L because it made the slit a bit less revealing. I’m almost 5’9” and with two inch heels the dress was probably shorter than I would prefer but it wasn’t bad. Picture shows the 4L on me. 

Ruching along the zipper on the left side. Material slightly heavy due sequins but not too thick

Rented this for a Halloween Masquerade Ball. I got compliments from strangers all night long! I wore a size up from what I typically do, which was the right choice for me. A 20 would have fit, but I prefer loosing fitting clothing in general. The dress was comfortable to wear and had the right amount of stretch in the back and tummy, but still look structured. I wouldn’t get this dress if you’re insecure about your legs - the slit came to about 4 inches below my 😸 so I did have to be careful of how I angled myself throughout the evening. Also, your right arm/shoulder is completely exposed, so if you have a thing about showing your arms I wouldn’t recommend this one. For me, it was a 10/10. Would absolutely rent again for another event!
