I usually wear a 12. The fabric was stiffer than expected but sucked me in nicely. Had a mesh panel on the sides that also gave some give. A little low on the chest, however truly loved the dress! Beautiful and classy!

Loved this dress, fit true to size, the slit is just enough but not to high. The material is thick and form fitting. The top portion stays in place and doesn't really limit arm movements (just full arm raises) The sides are sheer and really eventuate curves. Can't go wrong with black in my opinion! 

I rented both the 10R and 12L (all that was available) I didn't try the 12 on because I already knew it would be too long bc I have short legs. I just had a baby 4 1/2 months ago so spanx really helped. I wore a strapless bra. The fabric is thick so I felt like that helped hold me in as well. 

Something went wrong with the original size I ordered so I was sent a 12L as a back up. Although it felt a little big, the dress was comfortable and I received endless compliments all night long! 

I loved this dress so much more on me than I was expecting to! I rented it for a black tie wedding, and got so many compliments! The sleeves are a little constricting, specially when you're trying to zip it closed in the back! I'm on the shorter side (5') and even wearing 3 inch heels this dress was too long on me. A friend pinned up the hem and I was able to comfortably move and dance around all night (minus high up arm waving)! 

It fit perfect. I felt secure! I highly recommend this dress if you want something simple and cute but still want to make a statement!                                                                                                

Great dress. Easy to wear. The material was thick so it was great for a winter wedding. Probably would be hot in summer months. The arms are a little restricting so if you plan on going wild dancing I'd take it in to consideration. For me it was perfect. Also very long so wear 5 or more inch heels.

Pros and cons 
I rented 4L I am 5' 10" and 135, 32c, usually size 6 but I wanted a tight fit so got the 4. It fit like a glove. The picture doesn't show but there are mesh panels cut out on either side of your torso. So the entire side stretches and makes your waist look tiny. The length was perfect with 3-4 inch heels. I had complete strangers coming up to me and complimenting this dress. I had a older gentleman turn to me at the bar and after nodding at one another he said "nice dress", and that all he said. I wore the recommended earrings. Someone else needs to zip you up, and don't even try to drive in this dress. In one of the pics you'll be able to see the side panels of the dress. 

The dress fit perfectly and was so much fun to wear! I felt glamorous in it and got lots of compliments! I honestly wish I owned the dress it was just so beautiful! It got me like a glove, but probably would order long if I were going to wee it again.

Fabric was a little heavy but totally worth it . The stretchy was amazing and hugged every curve- my husband love love loved it!!

I'm 5'3 and 130 lbs.  The 4R fit like a glove, the 6R fit good too but the 4 was more form fitting so I went with that. I wore it to a gala which was fine bc the off the shoulder party doesn't let you raise your arms much but there wasn't too much dancing at this event. Loved the knot detail. 

Attended a film noir theme wedding and this dress was perfect. Wore a corset - like top under it and it worked perfectly with the dress. Highly recommend and wish I owned it!!

I am typically a size 10 in my dresses but I was a little nervous to rent something and get it the day before and hope it fits but it did! And it looked great (or at least that's what everyone told me). The only negative was the bar situation. I have size DD and all the bras I had to keep my ladies up showed on the side or in the front. Make sure you have a strapless black bar to wear it properly or let your ladies free :)

I was super happy with this dress. It was classy and chic and I got many compliments. If you're on the taller side, I would recommend choosing the longer option; the only downside was the 8R was a bit shorter than I would've liked, but I made it work. Great dress!

I'm 5'5 and the 4L was the perfect length my shoes were 3.5 inch heel. It was a perfect dress for a formal wedding, I was going for casual sexy and I feel that was achieved. I loved the mesh/see through side panels. I wish the keyhole was showcased more but I think because of the shoulders felt a little loose it wasn't tight enough to show. All around a beautiful well fitting dress I could dance in. 

The fabric was thick and never had to worry about it falling down. One thing about the fabric being so thick and sturdy is that I couldn't raise my arms up fully but other than that it was perfect. 

I LOVED this dress - it fit perfectly, really nice material. It was so soft and comfortable, and really easy to style. I'm never sure what size I am since it varies so much between places, and this was my first RTR order. I got a 0 and a 2 and wore the 2, was a little more comfortable. I absolutely loved how I looked in it, it's a super flattering dress!

Only thing to note - you will not be able to lift your arms very high, so be prepared for underarm sweat and restricted arm movement. I thought it was 100% worth it but others might not. 

I ordered this dress for my senior prom and loved how classy it looked. I had read other reviews and decided to get a long since I'm about 5'10". Even without heels, the dress didn't touch the ground by probably a half inch. I would definitely recommend getting a long if you're any taller than this or plan on wearing heels. You have limited arm mobility and the sleeves stretch out throughout the night. It is really flattering and the material is thick, making it hot. I didn't necessarily need to wear a bra with it but it helped keep the dress up. Overall this dress was beautiful and I would definitely rent it again! 

This dress was great! I'm between sizes, usually a 0 and 2, and that's exactly how this dress fit. The 2R was a little loose around my waist, but fit everywhere else. I'm 5'3", wore 4" heels and the length was perfect. I was expecting to not be able to move my arms much given the other reviews, and they're totally right, so that's the only downside. Overall great quality dress and customer service was super helpful when I needed them! 

Such an elegant dress. The material is thick and really flattering. I used fashion tape to keep it flat on my chest, but I don't think I'd have any problems if I was a cup size larger. Highly recommend!

This dress is absolutely stunning. It is a nice thick material and the dressed stayed up all night. No need to worry about the shoulders or front falling and the slit is just perfect!

The dress fit perfectly and looked stunning--compliments all night! The hanger straps were very short for some reason and I couldn't tuck them in and they were showing in all pics. Had to pin them underneath my armpit and had to repin a few times during the night. However, the dress was well-worth that snafu. The slit and neckline were so sexy, and the whole dress had an old Hollywood feel. I'm 5'9" ordered a long and could still dance on flip flops on the dance floor without ruining the dress. Last note on the RTR experience. This dress came mid snowstorm so I didn't get the back up size--I lucked out that the size I received fit, because the alternate dresses they sent weren't remotely similar in style or glamour.

This dress runs small! I normally wear a 0/00 but ordered the 2R with a 4R backup because the 0R was not available. I'm SO thankful I ordered a backup size! I couldn't zip the 2R! The sides are sheer which isn't really noticeable in the stock photos but it's definitely visible in photos with a flash. 

I usually wear a 0 or 00, I ordered a 2 as backup. My boyfriend did his best to help zipper the 0 in the back and we had such trouble because the zipper is too small for the thick fabric. I tried on the 2 and was able to zipper it more successfully. Wearing a size up, but in a body con dress, it fit in a snug way, but I did have to have my boyfriend pull up the back of the dress while I pulled the front only once because it was a little loose.

Pros: Wearing one size up means you can dance on the dance floor like it's no one's business and boogie down to the break of dawn because you have more mobility of the arms, also you can eat as much food as you'd like because it's black and barely loose. Wearing true to size means the dress fits you better than a glove and is more of a second skin or wetsuit.

Cons: Wearing one size up means that every once in a while (like twice) you'll need to pull the dress up just a smidge (like after using the restroom or sitting down for a prolonged period of time) and the dress isn't as tight around your booty and stomach as the smaller size. Wearing true to size means that there is no way you will ever be able to lift your arms up to even help you up and down stairs (no, seriously)

After the whole event, I am so glad I wore a size up so I could move my arms around more while I still looked just as beautiful.

After searching for hours trying to find the perfect gown for a formal wedding, I finally stumbled across this one and I'm so glad that I did. I got compliments on it all night. The only cons that I have is that the off shoulder style makes it difficult to raise your arms which was to be expected and the zipper was a little difficult. Other than that, this dress is a sure winner. 

I loved this dress-- I felt glamorous and I received compliments all night.  It definitely runs tight; I wore my back-up size (one larger than normal) and it was a little hard to zip.  Once it's on, though, it's very flattering because the material is nice and thick.   It's a bit restrictive on your arm movements but totally worth it! Love!

This dress is stunning. Made me feel like a celebrity all night long! True to size but because of the cut, it's fairly difficult to move in. Totally worth looking a tad stiff though! I'm 5'9 and wore 4" heels. The 2L was perfect!

My dress size is anywhere from a 0-4, so after reading the reviews, I opted for a 4 and went for the L since I knew I wanted to wear high heels. The fit was comfortable, not skin tight. I felt like a celebrity in the dress - I would definitely rent it again! 

The dress fit perfectly! Runs true to size, although a little big around the shoulders but that's to be expected with off the shoulder dresses. Originally, I was worried that it would be too short (I stand about 5'11 in heels), but a regular was fine.

I received a ton of compliments on the dress - it's classic and perfect for a formal wedding. The material is also extremely comfortable. The fit was about what I expected from other's reviews, but by the end of the night, the sleeves of the dress were really stretched out and I felt like I had to keep checking to make sure the dress wasn't falling down. Overall, I'd rent the dress again. 

Pros: Comfortable to wear without a bra. Easy to dance in, if sleeves are moved up on the dance floor. Dress slit is not too high. Slightly long, but not impossible to wear without heels. Fun to accessorize with big chunky pieces and earrings! Overall, a beautiful style with a wow factor. 

Cons: Didn't realize there was a middle cleavage area. The zipper was a big issue, even though the dress fit with room, the zipper was hard to zip. There is a side area where the side of your breast area can be exposed if you are not wearing a bra. Fabric was not rough, but not soft. 

The dress is gorgeous and I felt very beautiful. My one complaint was the side paneling being a little bit to sheer for my taste and went down to the top of my hip. I wore a black corset and boy shorts to conceal it. Overall, I got many compliments and it was very comfortable too! 

How tall are you?  I was thinking about getting the long but I&#39;m right on the edge (5&#39;7).  

I am five foot seven, it isn&#39;t showing up in the message haha. 

This dress is so elegant. I paired it with long opera gloves and got compared to Audrey Hepburn all night. It made me feel so classy and elegant. The only con of the dress was that the front twist wasn't secured down to the dress, so I had to use double sided tape to make it work. Overall, I was very pleased. 

I rented this dress for a 20s themed Gala. The dress was perfect. The only drawback is like many other reviewers said, you can only lift your arms so high because of the off the shoulder. I received many compliments that night 

Gorgeous dress! Received compliments all night. I'm 5'3" and normally wear a 2/4. The 4 fit perfectly. One thing to note is that it is pretty tight around the lower stomach region and you won't be able to lift your arms. I definitely recommend this dress!

The dress that I really wanted to wear was canceled because a previous renter had damaged it, so I wore this one, my back-up. I tried it on when I received it and my second size, 2r fit like a glove. It was still tight, I usually wear a 0 so I was surprised, but it worked. The dress length was perfect with my 3 inch heels. I'm 5'3". The chest fit perfect, too. If I had a larger chest, I think it may have been difficult to zip (34B). I'm not sure why the cut out is visible in my dress, but I liked the look, so that was just fine. Overall, great rental!

Runs big on the shoulders, other than that the dress is beautiful!
