This dress holds you in all over! I was a little worried about finding a dress because of the quarantine 15! But this dress with the long sleeves made me feel like I was a size 6 again! Loved it! 

Dress has good stretch, so it fits great also on curvy bodies.

When I first put this dress on I could barely get my arms in the sleeves, they were so tight. Then my daughter struggled to get me zipped in. I actually called RTR to see if I could get the next larger size in time for my event but it wasn’t available. As it turns out, once I squeezed myself in, I was shocked at how comfortable it was! It’s a high quality garment, amazing fit and fabric. It hides all the bad bumps and bulges and shows off the good curves. It’s sexy without being revealing. I could sit, stand and dance without having to be yanking and adjusting all night. And best of all, no special underwear/bra needed! 
If you’re having a tough time getting yourself into this dress, don’t give up. It’s not as snug as it may seem and you will love it!

Wore this for my first wedding anniversary date. My husband chose it over another dress is my order and he LOVED it (so did I!). I was just shy of 2 months postpartum and have NEVER worn a dress this tight in my life (and I'm still 20 lbs over my goal weight). I have also never felt so sexy in my life. It hugged me in all of the right places and covered my imperfections. And the neckline is to die for. It is a thick fabric, but I wore it at night (even though it's Texas and hot regardless). However, as long as you'll be wearing this inside it works for a hot spring or summer night as well! 

I absolutely LOVE this dress. If it was anywhere near in my budget, I would buy it right now. 

I wore it to an outdoor wedding in February and the material was perfect for that. It is very thick. It hugs everything in the best ways. It is fairly low cut, but because of the long sleeves it doesn’t feel like too much skin is showing. 

I wore this dress for Christmas Eve service, and paired it with the Oscar de la Renta Gold Bold Flower Necklace. 
LBDs are a dime a dozen, but this one stood out due to its outstanding fit and construction, and expensive look and feel.
The fabric held me in, but was thick enough that it smoothed away all lumps and bumps that normally come with that type of fit.
The neckline is quite low, so pairing it with a large bold statement necklace, helped to dress it up and keep my chest a little more covered.
I would be happy to add this piece to my wardrobe if it became available, and would recommend renting it if you're looking for an elegant LBD.

I rented this dress because I had an inkling that my husband was throwing me a surprise party for my 40th birthday (I was right!).  The reviews on RTR were so helpful in my selection.  This dress is perfect for a woman with curves.  I have gained some weight over the last year that I am working to lose, so finding something that makes me feel pretty has been a challenge.  BUT, this dress made me feel gorgeous.  I ordered a 10, backup size 12.  I went with the 12 because it seemed to fit better in the shoulders and I wanted to be comfortable.  Great quality, beautiful dress!  

Fit great! Very comfortable. Slight vintage feel.

Wore this to a magic show in NYC. I wanted something with long sleeves since I knew it might be cold. I usually wear a 12 and I thought this was true to size. The dress is very form fitting, but the fabric is forgiving (I didn't even have to wear Spanx underneath!). The front is very low cut; make sure you wear a bra that won't show.

Very high quality material! This dress was form fitting, but still had some give in it. May rent the same dress again!

I'm 176 pounds and 5'3 1/2. The size 12 was a perfect fit. This dress is meant to hug curves, and it hugged everything in just the right way. I would rent again. The shoulder area was a tad roomy, but it wasn't a huge deal. 

Fits like a glove but is stretchy. Super comfortable.  I received 250 likes on my social media page when I made this my profile pic. I wore this for our engagement shoot and I was thrilled with how the pictures came out!  Couldn't recommend enough to brides for photos. Super flattering. 

Running true to size and form fitting with room for movement, I recommend wearing your true size for your primary size and going up a size for your back up. This style is fitted throughout the midsection and at the hips. It works for all cup sizes. You are able to wear a standard bra with this dress. At 5’4”, the length hit just above the knee on me. The pattern on the dress is amazing in person and the stretchy fabric makes it very comfortable to wear. Pair with black or sparkly heels and fun earrings to complete your outfit!



The only con is that it is a bit tight in the shoulders and arms.

Holy curves Batman. This dress really hugs you firmly in all the right spots. The long sleeves and dramatic shoulders gave it an elegant touch. Would absolutely wear again! 

Very comfortable and slimming dress. I'm large busted and the dress is pretty low cut so be prepared for that. The long sleeves give it a classier feel.

This dress showed me what my curves are capable of. I've never felt comfortable wearing form fitting clothing because I'm a bit on the thick side. Not anymore! I've fully embraced the glory of the thick and it's all because of this dress and of course some wide-eyed stuttering from my husband. This dress is made from sturdy material and so it doesn't cling unflatteringly to softer bodies. It even does a nice job masking cellulite. The length is just right and the long sleeves keep you warm and comfortable on cooler spring or autumn nights. I once wore it dressed down with camel booties and a leather jacket. I'm constantly looking for this dress on sale because I'd love to have it as a permanent LBD in my closet. 

I'm 6 weeks postpartum and this was a perfect dress for my husbands surprise birthday night out. The seam lines and thick fabric were very forgiving on my post baby belly, but the cleavage and snug fit still made it get flattering. I felt great and comfy! 


Very Comfortable Dress!
Wore this to a January wedding, and really wanted a dress with long sleeves.  I found the length to be perfect and did not have to pull it down all night.  I really liked the neckline, something unique for a little black dress.  This dress is snug, and was worried about an underwear line - make sure you have seamless underwear and you're good to go!

Right fitting, extremely flattering dress. Perfect for NYE party :) 

This was selected as a back up, but so glad I picked it! I ended up wearing it to a formal work party. I'm 6' tall and the dress was the perfect length. The 8 fit true to size.  The only con is that the shoulders would bunch up a little bit on the top, I think it was due to my bust size (32ddd) but my hair covered one shoulder so it wasn't completely noticeable and wasn't a huge deal. Otherwise, perfect!

This is a great LBD- material is stretchy enough to fit curves but structured to help things stay smooth. Definitely wear spanks underneath for most flattering fit. Great neckline.

This dress was a nice thick fabric, but not too hot, to help smooth.  I normally wear a 6ish and the 8 fit perfectly.  

Loved the length as I'm very tall and get worried about that. Fit true to size and very forgiving. Thick fabric and stretch held everything in well. Lower cleavage than expected slightly and shoulders are very wide but was able to wear a normal bra. Wish I could have kept it!

Worn to a winter wedding in Vermont. Though the dress was very form fitting, the heavier fabric was forgiving. 

Loved this Dress.  Was pretty snug but hit in all the right places! 

It is a tight fitting dress and is snug getting it on if you have curves but is comfortable to wear after that. No problems sitting, standing or walking in it. 

This photo is on my sister, usual size 4 and this is a 10. It's a little big on her but clearly this dress runs extremely small. It's a stretchy and thick fabric, great features. But I'm a usual 10-12 and I couldn't get this past my hips to even try it on. Size up at least 2 sizes. The neckline is gorgeous, sleeves and length are great. I'd recommend the dress but make sure you size up. 

The dress is super exact to size. I had to wear a tight spanks under it so if your a bit curvy you might wanna go a size up. I’m a 38 DD but that area just was very boosted up if anything. It was nice and warm being right and long sleeves. 
I’m 5’6 and around 180lbs 

This dress was great! One downside: the fabric was really hard to zip. Had to switch to the 8 rather than the 6 not because the 6 didn't really fit, but because the fabric was too tight if that makes sense? Like were the fabric not so hard to zip or if it had been buttons the 6 would be fine

You can't help but feel like a bombshell when you slip into this dress. Nicole Miller is a designer I often seek out on RTR because I've found that her dresses tend to be cut for "womanly" shapes, and this one was no exception. I had on some heavy-duty Spanx to nip my waist in as much as possible, but the way the dress is designed makes it flattering on its own. The fabric is weighty enough to give you the feeling of being held in without feeling uncomfortable, and it didn't ride up my thighs when I moved around, which is something I usually struggle with when I wear bodycon dresses. Definitely got a ton of compliments, and my boyfriend said that practically every guy in the bar we were at gave him a thumbs up or an approving nod when I wasn't paying attention --- nice to hear, haha. My only issues were the extra material that gaped at the shoulders (I notice I'm not the only reviewer that dealt with this), and a small hole on the side seam towards the bottom of the dress that ended up expanding quite a bit by the end of the night after I'd been dancing and frolicking. It's probably better suited for ~sit still, look pretty~ kind of events. But I definitely did not want to take it off because it was doing me ALL the favors! Made me feel spectacularly sexy for my birthday and I would absolutely rent it again!

Loved this dress!  Wore it for Christmas.  The shoulders were a little big (similar to other reviews), but I was able to hide it with my hair.  The sleeves were also long, but I folded them under and you couldn't tell. I am busty and expecting to have cleavage, but it wasn't excessive.

This was sent as a backup because they unexpectedly didn't have my size in the original dress I ordered. I ended up wearing this one instead. I LOVED wearing this dress. The material is thick and smoothed out all the right places! Had to wear a strapless bra because you could see the straps in the front. The sleeves were about 3" too long but I tucked them under and nobody noticed! Was sad to send this one back. 

This dress was great for a party occasion. My only complaint about this dress is that if you are already sort of flat chested, this will make you look even smaller. It flattened me out quite a bit. It is very form flattering though. 

Love this dress and would rent again! Perfect fit and love the length. I'm glad I read the reviews about the sizing running small. I ordered a 4 & 8 as that's what was available (normally a 4) and went with the 8. 

Didn’t wear, as the sleeves were WAY too tight, even the forearms.  It was very cute, so if you have toothpick arms, this is the dress for you 😄.

Fine for an evening event, but too revealing and fitted for my office!
