I received a lot of compliments, even though the dress was a little loose.  Length was perfect.  The material has a bit of stretch, so I wish I would have ordered a 4. 


The dress was comfortable, fit perfectly and flattered me so well! I loved it so much. I'm 5'4 and with heels, the dress height was perfect. I wore Spanx for extra tummy control but it was not needed because how this dress shaped me. With my bust, I wore a bra but you could have gone without and still looked great. All around great dress. I recommend it and would wear it again. 

Fabulous dress! Nice stretch and durable material. I'm usually a 6 and it was perfect, not too tight. I'm 5'4" and the regular was perfect with a pair of heals. True, you can't lift your arms over your head but can still dance all night! 

Probably better for those who have smaller busts. 

Absolutely stunning gown that hugged all the right places. I was given numerous compliments all night and was able to eat, dance and feel comfortable. The sleeves do restrict some arm moves but nothing too severe. (Literally danced for 3 hours in this fine).

This dress nips right at the waist and made me love how my body looked, especially in pics! I'm 5'5" and wore 3.5" heels and the 4L was just an inch off the floor. Such a classy dress!

I wore this to my law school's Barrister's Ball, and I felt so classy and sexy in it! I'm usually a 6 and the 6 was a good fit, but it was juuuuust on this side of being too tight. The regular length was perfect for my height in 2.5 inch heels. My arm movement was definitely restricted (you can see the strap digging into my arm when it's placed on my hip in the photo) but overall it was worth it for how beautiful I felt in the dress!

I wore this for a black tie wedding. I got so many compliments! Normally I am a size 4 and ended up wearing the size 6. The dress is very form fitting but the fabric is stretchy which makes this dress comfy! I m 5"4 and the height was perfect for me as well. 

Other than having limited movement in the arms, which was expected and understandable based on the style, this dress was fabulous. I'm tall (6ft) and still wore 3inch heels and the length was just right. Thicker fabric was very flattering. True to size

This dress was my first choice, and I ended up going with an alternative dress instead. I got a long size and even in bare feet the dress was too short for my liking (I am 5'11").

I'm 5'2, and wore 3 inch heels and it was perfect.  The material is stretchy yet form fitting. The only difficult part was zipping it up, it took two of us. I'd recommend this dress! 

This dress was perfect for the formal wedding I went to. It fit like a glove and I got tons of compliments. It's classic and understated and was just what I was looking for. 

 Wore this to a black tie wedding over Labor Day Weekend. I am 54 years old and this dress was amazing! It was classy and comfortable.  Wore my regular size. Received so many compliments.  Material is thick and substantial however the dress was not too hot for a late summer wedding - off-the-shoulder and high slit helped.  Neckline was not restrictive for dancing as we danced the night away! 

This dress fit great! The material is a little heavy for a summer wedding but overall a great dress! Loved it!

I am 5'3", 155-160 pounds and have an athletic build (small chest, like 32A-B depending on brand; small but short waist, and muscular legs and booty). I am normally a size 8. For this dress I chose a size 8R, with 10R as a backup. I wore the 8R and was very comfortable! The dress material is thick and stretchy, but do note that it hugs you, so if you like a looser fit I might go one size up. I worried that the low arms would be restrictive, but the material was stretchy so I  didn't struggle to eat/lift a glass, hug people, and was even able to dance comfortably. Slit in the leg is sexy but classy; I am short though, so it didn't hit me too high on the thigh. On that note, being 5'3" I chose the Regular length, but was surprised that it did not reach the floor when wearing 2" heels. I was okay with this since I knew I'd be dancing, but if you want it totally floor length, I'd choose a Long (L) length. 

I LOVED this dress! I felt beautiful, classic, and COMFORTABLE! Thank you RTR for making this such a seamless and fun process!

Perfect for the hourglass or pear shaped; very forgiving; would look great on anyone 

Ordered the 2R with the 4R as a backup. Both fit and were snug, but I felt much more comfortable int he 4R and it was still form fitting. Length was good, I wore medium height heels. My arms were a bit restricted, I couldn't lift them up very high, but I only noticed this as a problem if someone went to greet me with a hug or twirl me on the dance floor. The zipper did bulge out at the bottom, right around my butt which was a bit annoying but I don't think it was too noticeable. Not sure if that's a problem for all the dresses or just the one I wore. The dress is nice material and not prone to wrinkling. I would recommend sizing up for your backup size. 

The dress was super comfy and it was a very thick material.  It was fun to dance in and I received so many compliments.. it was the perfect choice for me for a military ball! 

Hugs all the curves... I got away with no bra (wore silicone pasties).  Definitely need help getting it zipped and can't raise arms (not a good dress for dancing in) .., but totes worth it! 

Absolutely loved this dress, the look of it was perfect! The only downside was the off the shoulder sleeves makes it a little hard to dance.

This dress was very comfortable and felt good to wear, very form fitting and quality material. I am 5’7 and I tried on the 4L too but the 4R length seemed to work best with the heel I was wearing. The off shoulder style gave the otherwise plane dress a nice sexy edge. The slit on the leg was a nice touch too, not too high for a wedding with grandparents :). I am 135lb and the size 4 fit pretty well, a little bunchy on the hips so I might suggest the size 2 but it was not available for my event. I received a lot of compliments on the dress and felt great in it all night!

This dress was one of the most comfortable I have ever worn. Has a bit of stretch but thick enough to be flattering especially with curves. I am 5 foot 2, and it was the perfect length with 3 and a half inch heels. Highly recommend.

So I definitely could have worn the 6, however, if you have wide shoulders like me, you are already screwed. Those things were so tight and despite the 6 fitting a little better I had to wear the 8 bevause my arms and shoulders could not move in the 6. In addition, I’m 5’7” and lemme tell you, I should have ordered the long with those heels. It was very obvious my dress was not long enough. Overall it’s a stunner of a dress but order long and hopefully you don’t have man shoulders like me.

I typically am a 4 in clothes, but i haven’t ordered a dress for a while so i think this is pretty true to size?  I don’t know i REALLY LIKED IT, THOUGH. i wore one of those sticky bras, but i think you could probably get away with just not wearing one, which is neat-o. The fabric was really thicc and didn’t show any underwear lines, even though it was form fitting on the tush;) would recommend, though (i’m 5’7” and weigh 130lbs and ordered a 4R as my main, but went with the 6R)

This dress was snug but it fit in all the right places!  The material was quality and heavy.  The top stayed where it was supposed.  I got a lot of compliments on it.

Overall: loved this dress and highly recommend! Comfy, classic, flattering and elegant! Easy to glam-up with accessories. I chose pearls & nude heels to keep it simple, but there are endless possibilities! 

Fit: This dress fit like a glove. I'm 5'6 and the 6L was perfect length w/ my 3" heels. Very flattering. Hugged my curves in all the right places! Initially wore shaper panties to hold in my tummy, but removed them, bc there was a visible pantry line. Found that i didn't really need shape-wear after all! 

Quality: Solid! Well made. Thick, stretchy fabric that felt similar to neoprene. The zipper is tricky. My husband had trouble zipping it up- not due to sizing-the zipper was difficult to grab. He ended up using pliers! Seriously. It was much easier to unzip, but you will definitely need help getting it on & off. 

Shoulders: i had no trouble lifting my arms up to dance! Didn't feel constrained either. Had to make a couple adjustments throughout the night, but no biggie. 

Bonus: the slit in the skirt of the dress made it so easy to move around & was both tasteful and sexy! 


For being short, this dress was a great length! It was elegant and I felt beautiful. I wore three inch heels and never tripped on it. The fabric was thick and stretchy so it was form fitting but didn't feel tight. I got lots of compliments. I needed a lint roller when I took it out of the bag, but that's to be expected.
Cons: you can't put your hands on your hips so don't expect to wave your arms in the air; the twist of fabric on the bust would unravel so I kept having to adjust it

Gorgeous dress fit like a glove! I loved the leg slit to add a bit of sexiness. Very elegant, sexy dress. I found the sleeves to be restrictive, as in I couldn't raise my arms very high, but I would still wear this dress again. 

The fit sucked you in due to the type of fabric, which was awesome! The dress, however, ripped at the back during the night just a tad, and I wasn't even going too hard at prom, so be cautious. But boy oh boy, rent instead of buy. All of my friends are trying to sell their dresses from last year and they are regretting their purchase. My dress was sexy, fun, and fit me well!

The top could be worn on shoulder or off shoulder. A bit large for m for off shoulder, but still comfy. Length was good.

I am 5'8.5" and with not even 3 inch heels the dress was still a little short. I ended up being glad for that because it didn't drag the ground or get stepped on/dirty. Stretchy material that is VERY flattering, just wear spanx for no lines and you're set! 

SO perfect for an Army ball. I'm 5'9 and the long length worked perfectly with heels. I'm a true size 8 and hover around 155-160 lbs and the 8 was perfect. The material is thicker and super comfortable but shapewear is a must. 

Loved this basic dress. I'm 5'9" and wore the long with a small wedge and it was barely was long enough. Definitely get the long if you are taller than 5'7"ish or if you plan to wear heals! LOVE THIS DRESS!

The fit of this dress was beautiful! Fit true to size, loved the slit on the side and the low neckline! Went perfectly with the earrings I also rented. Definitely recommend this one!

I rented several dresses and this didn't make the cut. I didn't quite fill out the hip section and the zipper was stubborn.  The fabric was very soft but not forgiving on a post baby body.

Great dress! Wore this for my sister's wedding and it was perfect. The material has a great amount of stretchiness to it so it stays in place and hugs all your curves. The arms were a bit restricting but not ridiculously so!  Wish I had gotten the long instead of the regular, but that was my only regret.

This dress was absolutely stunning. It was simple and elegant but very sexy. I am 5'3 and wore 3 inch heels and needed the long. I typically wear a 4 but the 6 felt better. I was still able to dance despite the off the shoulder look. 

The dress has stretchy material but feels expensive 

This dress fit my body perfectly. I felt so glamorous and sexy. It looks black in my picture, but it is really like the sites picture, navy blue. Although I couldn’t lift my arms all the way, it was not a problem like I though it would be. I was so comfortable and even danced in it. It has a lot of stretch. My heels were about 3” and worked perfectly. My husband couldn’t get enough. Would rent again. 

It's a very elegant dress. Well made and felt thick. Perfect for the black tie winter wedding we attended. Only con was it was difficult to raise my arms. Fits true to size. Long enough to wear nice heals and not trip on the bottom of the dress.
