I got so many compliments from this dress, I bought for a personal attendant dress and it was perfect! It runs a little small and tight around the arms/chest if you're a little bigger. I sized up and it was perfect! 

 I liked this dress because I have a larger chest, smaller waist and curvy hips and this dress just made. it. happen. I didn't need spanx because I decided on the tights last minute when a random snowstorm hit the town the afternoon of the event. The dress is thick enough though, if you need to wear the spanx. I got lots of compliments on the lace. I would rent this dress again!

The sleeves are delicate and a little restricting, but I was still able to move around and dance all night. The fit is perfect and the lace isn't nearly as see through as the picture suggests. Make sure you wear the appropriate bra, and test it in different lighting! The cut out wasn't completely see-through, but I noticed in some pictures I could see my bra. I'm the only one who noticed, but it is still something to keep in mind. 

Fits perfectly! The sleeves are awesome and waist is slimming. 

This dress was overnighted to me when there was a problem with my original dress. 

I was a little hesitant about the dress for a wedding from the picture on RTR because of how see through it appears; however, the dress is very appropriate in person. It is still see through, but only slightly. 

This is a comfy dress, but you may not be able to lift your arms over your head if you want to dance. 

I received this dress in an 8 & 10, and since I usually have to get dresses for my hips I went with the 10. The 10 fit like a glove. I could raise my arms no problem and this dress was comfortable to sit in.

Like one other reviewer mentioned the top is not sheer like the sleeves at all. You can see that in my photos. I was able to wear a regular bra under here. (My real bra size is 32DDD.)

This dress made me feel very elegant and it was perfect for my company Holiday party at an aquarium. 

I specifically wanted a dress with sleeves and this was perfect. The lace cutout in the front is not as visible as on the model, which was what I was hoping. It was a little tight in sleeves but that didn't bother me. Overall great dress that I felt comfortable in all night. 

Loved this dress!  It did run a little small on top - if you have a bigger chest or broader shoulders you should size up - there is zero stretch up top.  Bottom has a little stretch.  I ordered the 6 and 8 and went with the 8 as it was a better fit in the arms and shoulders.  

This dress is extremely comfortable.  I didn't need I wear a bra and the bottom is stretch fabric so with a pair of spanx I could move around all night with no discomfort.  I felt classy and not too exposed for a conservative company's holiday party.  Would rent again!

This dress was an absolute dream to wear. It was incredibly comfortable and easy to move around in. I was a little worried it was going to be too short for me, but it wasn't at all! It was exactly what I was looking for, very classy and I didn't feel like I was showing off too much skin. This is a classic piece and for the price, I couldn't have found a better dress to wear on such short notice!

This dress was very comfortable although it did not fit exactly the way I wanted to.  It's a nice dress but it was not very complimentary to my shape. I think this would be better suited for someone with a few more curves. Overall, it's a nice dress, just not for me. 

I&#39;m interested in renting this dress. I would need to wear a bra with it. Do you recommend not renting it if I need to wear a bra with it?  

I felt beautiful in this dress. It has lovely sleeves and feels lux. I'm glad I got the backup bigger size, because the size 2 was way too small on the top. I am straight and narrow, and the 4 was fine on the top but I bit big through the hips and butt on the bottom. I am glad I ordered this dress, but I was hoping for a little more of a cutout look in the front, like on the model. It was hardly sheer at all in the front by the chest. I probably should have gone with a little bit more "young" look, maybe a little shorter, more sparkle, or more edge, because I was a tad underwhelmed with how "safe" this dress felt. If classic, glamorous, and timeless are what you're after though, this is a great choice. 

I love this designer but this wasn't my favorite dress that I have worn. However I did like it. Pros: true to size, bottom of dress is stretchy and lace arms are stretch. Not too tight. Cons: dress twisted a lot with spanx worn underneath and there are no cups in the dress. I wore breast cups vs strapless and it wasn't comfortable. I think if there were cups with in the dress it would have fit better. I did like this dress and felt sexy and confident in it, and did receive a lot of compliments. Just not my all time favorite. 

Photo complete with a photo bomber ;) Thanks, dude! 

(Sorry, the only full body pic I have is kinda silly.) This was my first RTR experience and I was so pleased.  All in all it was very comfortable and classy yet a little bit sexy! I usually wear a size 2, but I got a size 0 as my backup, and ended up wearing the 0. I have a decent sized tush, so I was glad that the bottom half of the dress had some stretch. It wasn't super tight, but just tight enough. My only complaint is that the lace arms/shoulders have no stretch, so I couldn't raise my arms above my shoulders! Not a big deal, but restricted my dancing a little bit.The bit of lace in between your boobs is not quite as see through as it appears on the model. I felt completely comfortable without a bra, and I'm a large B/small C. 

I loved this dress. It fit me perfectly. I am pretty curvy but it fit perfect. It was a little tough to dance in but I made it work! I got a lot of compliments! I would rent this again 

Wore to a winter wedding in December. Was very happy and had no complaints! Wore a black bra underneath and you could never tell the chest was slightly sheer.

Wore this to a rustic wedding in upstate NY. The sleeves restrict your movement a little (hard to raise the roof) but went for more "classy" dance moves as a result. Was comfortable to wear. Got many compliments. 

So so comfortable and easy to wear! The lace details make the dress! Great length even for someone shorter! 

Such a fun rental! I absolutely loved the sleeves. It was comfortable and very supportive. 

Fit like a glove!  I have more of an athletic build and when first putting it on I thought my shoulders might be too broad for the dress but it *just* fit so my CrossFit athletic friends out there you might want to go size up or different dress all together.  I feel like if I went size up and would of been too big everywhere else.  Love the top of the dress very pretty, below the bust is a comfortable but plain black material which is great for me but if you like a lot of detail throughout it might leave you underwhelmed.  Overall very pretty, felt sexy with it showing my curves, and it was so comfortable!  Lots of compliments all night!  Didn't get a good pic of the whole dress the night of so excuse the mess in the background of pic 

I would normally wear a 12/14, but I had to wear the backup size 16.  Other than that, the fit is very flattering, and the sleeves are made of good quality lace material that does not snag easily.  I would rent it again!

I loved this dress! The lace is elegant, not Halloween-ish. The center segment isn't very obvious, more of your own fun secret. While it's form fitting, the separation in materials is forgiving and flattering (I'm a mom of two so that's a must for me). It's not too short, perfect for a formal event, but skip if you're looking for a Vegas dress. I got tons of compliments and felt confident in it all night (plus it's comfortable!).


I've had several fails with designer dresses from a size factor. I recently lost 10 lbs on a new workout & eating plan, and knew I had to have this for the wedding we were attending. It fit like a glove and was SO COMFY! I loved the zippers at the wrists so the sleeves weren't super tight. The sleeves WERE delicate though and had signs of lots of wear so I had to be extra careful when lifting or reaching, but overall I LOVED this dress & was super sad to have to give it back! I would absolutely rent again! 

I LOVED this dress so much that I wish i could buy it! It hugged in all the right spots and i felt so amazing in this dress. The slit wasnt as sheer as i thought it would be... but be careful wearing a bra because in some photos you definitely can see it. Definitely a great dress! I wore it for my birthday but good for any occasion! 

Cute dress, didn't require too many accessories, overall good fit.

I absolutely loved this dress!  I was anxious that the low cut would be too much, the lighting in the photo with the mocel really accentuates the clevage but in evening lighting it was very tasteful.  I felt a little uncomfortable at first since this is a little more form fitting than I am used to, but received so many compliments!  The material is heavy, and forgiving. 

Classy, and subtly sexy. A little tight in the shoulders, but overall fit very well.  Lots of compliments!

I'm 6ft so dress was a little short, had to be careful how I bent down or danced. Otherwise fabulous dress fit like a glove! Lots of compliments all night!

This dress fit very well the picture doesn't do it justice got compliments all night :) 

I absolutely loved this dress! I️ rented it for a fall wedding, and it was perfect.  I️ rented both the 2 and the 4, but went with the 4 which was more comfortable.  The lining of the dress has no give or stretch, so I'd recommend going up a size for your extra dress.  Loved the lace details, and I️ was able to get away with not wearing a bra.  The sheer detail in the middle of the dress is a fun feature, and it was not noticeable in pictures.  Would definitely recommend! 

This dress fit perfectly. It was easy to move in and comfortable for an October wedding. I got a ton of compliments!

I've rented 4 dresses before this one and this one is by far my favorite. As other commentators noted, the lace sleeves were tight, and I couldn't raise my arms above my shoulders. But, the fit was very flattering (I don't have hips or much of a waist, and I'm busty). I didn't have to wear a bra, which made this very comfortable. My boobs almost didn't fit, but luckily they did because I didn't have a bigger back up size. The peek a boo front was very subtle - sexy! Wore this for a very special night on the town with two other couples.

Runs small, I'm usually a 2 or 4 but I'm glad I read the reviews and sized up because the 4 did not fit my shoulders. The dress is comfy and I received tons of compliments.

I loved this dress. Sorry the picture isn't so great. It was so slimming and sexy and comfortable. Absolutely perfect for my date night in NYC. I'm 5'5" 126 lbs and wore the size 4 ; the 2 also fit, but the 4 provided a little more breathing room.

 I wear a size 10 jeans but since I'm pear shaped, I use a 12 and it fit just right. Fabric doesn't stretch  so  if you have a large chest or curves, go 1 size up. Don't worry about the opening in the front, it's actually covered.

This is a dress that I wish I could keep! Amazing look and fit, and sleeves felt good on me. Some people said they were tight. I can usually swing a size 4, but chose to go with the 6 and it was definitely better! Loved this super sexy yet classy! The skirt did ride up a little, but I wore it with black tights

I rented this dress for an Art Auction. The long, lace sleeves were classy and beautiful. I have small arms and they fit perfect but if you're more muscular or have bigger arms, they may be a little tight. I'm typically a 6, sometimes a 4. The 6 was a little more fitted than I typically wear and called for a replacement but the replacement didn't workout. I ended up wearing this and am glad I did. The shear areas aren't shear at all, as other reviewers have said, but it's still a beautiful classy dress. I would rent again but maybe a size up for comfort! 

Thick material, beautiful lace. Lace on chest is not really see through at all, can't even tell it's lace. I wore this to a wedding and received lots of compliments! 

The fit was great. Sleeves are delicate and Annie snug but I received many compliments. Very elegant.

Rented this for my wedding rehearsal. Loved the dress, however it was a little more snug than I prefer. I usually wear a 6 in all my rentals, but this one was very tight in the arms/arm pit. I would stay true to size & size up 1. Loved it anyways, especially paired with my red Moro jacket for fall! 

Bought as my "back up" dress and didn't wear to the event. Was fitting but not tight. Be careful if you have bigger arms, the sleeves were perfect on me but I have very tiny arms. 

This dress was nice, I got a lot of compliments on it. The lace sleeves are tight, not very forgiving which was why I had to wear the bigger size. The sleeves do have zippers at the bottom but they were still tight on me. The dress itself very comfy! 

Such a pretty dress but did not end up wearing it. If I had a size or two larger I may have. The bottom was stretchy but still was too snug for me to feel comfortable. The length is shorter than what I would typically wear. Gorgeous! Just make sure you size up!

This dress fit great through the top, but it was tight on my hips and quite a bit shorter than it looks in most of the pics. 

This dress was classy and polished. I have a larger chest so I wore the backup size 12 and it was still tight on top. Dress arrived with a hole in the side, but it was not too noticeable so I ended up wearing anyway. For some reason the slip under the skirt peaks out of the bottom of the dress. Not the most stunning piece I've rented from RTR but a nice step up from an LBD.  

I am 5'7 so dresses seem to run short on me. This was a little short, but I was able to wear it anyway :)  It was a slight big snug, so I would order your size, plus maybe one size up just in case you need it for comfort.  The sleeves are so pretty.  The lace detail on the front isn't as noticeable as it is in the stock photo on the site, but overall the dress is great! I received many compliments. 

The fit across the chest was forgiving and felt great. The dress was a little tight but that is the way it is supposed to be. Loved the details of the lace in the sleeves!

I got a lot of compliments on the lace sleeves, though they were a little tight-I had a hard time lifting my arms up on the dance floor! The body of the dress is very comfortable- good weight to the fabric and a good stretch.
Overall the top felt smaller than the bottom. Worked great!

Are the sleeves restrictive or stretchy?  I have bigger arms and lace sleeves always are tight on me unless there is some stretch. Thanks!


This dress was gorgeous on. I usually wear a size 12 dress and wore the 14. I chose the 14 because my upper body arms and shoulder are broader than the average person so the arms were really tight on the 12 and less tight on the 14. The dress hugs in all the right spots and I was complimented all night. I do have a smaller chest so I chose to wear a strapless bra with the dress but a larger chested person would have no problem going braless. I danced the night away and looked formal enough to be on the arm of my husband who was the best man and in a tux. 

Bottom of dress was a thick material that was super comfortable & perfect for a winter wedding. Top was a bit snug, I'm typically a 6 but wore the 8 so I could move a little better. The lining does show after a little bit at the hemline (see pic). Overall it was very comfortable & just the right amount of sex appeal while still being a very classy dress. Would for sure rent again! 

This dress fit well and and was beautiful for the December wedding that I attended. The lace was tight which made it a little hard to move, but the bottom part was stretchy which was nice. 

The dress fit perfectly and was beautiful however the lace arms were torn on both sides.  I didn't feel comfortable wearing a torn dress to a formal affair. This being my first RTR experience I was disappointed.

This dress fit me like a glove, and is very true to size. I ordered the 4 and 6, and luckily the 4 fit better because there were several issues with the 6. The dress itself was very pretty and the lace details are elegant. The keyhole in the middle is subtle, which is what I was hoping for because I didn't' want it to be too sexy for a wedding. I could move my arms pretty well when dancing too! With that being said, make sure you check the sleeves as soon as you get the dress. There were MULTIPLE holes/rips in the lace on the size 6 and it reeked of BO...ew! Overall, it ended up working out, but I wish RTR would have done a better job at caring for their merchandise before sending to a customer. I would otherwise rent the dress again.
