Classic! Very elegant, great fit, great material. Highly recommend!

Loved that this was ok for my 4' 11" frame (with a two inch heel!)

Gorgeous dress, that hugs in all the right places. Endless compliments throughout the night. Rent this dress! 

This dress fit me perfectly. I was initially concerned because I'm short, but it was no issue at all and was comfortable all night at a wedding!

This was not my first pick. I had issues with my 1st dress and a RTR Specialist created a list of dresses for me to choose from. I cannot say how grateful I am that they recommended this dress. The dress arrived within 24 hours and It was a perfect fit.  I received multiple compliments throughout the evening.  The dress has some stretch to it and it accents all the right places to show off your curves. I really love this dress.

The dress is simple and elegant. Also very easy to style in many ways. Fit true to size. 

I absolutely loved this gown. It was perfect for the wedding I wore it to. So many people complimented the dress. It was classy, not too over the top but very beautiful. I was worried the top would slide, but I am full chested and it fit like a glove. 

Perfectly thick enough to suck you in. Gorgeous and classy!!!!! 

On the hanger this dress doesn’t look like much.   We had a “Encanto” themed gala.   I got many compliments and was so comfortable.   The dress is very flattering.  I am 5’3”, 148lbs, 36-D size and I am a bit top heavy so decided to wear a shall with it.   But it was a great dress for the occasion.   The material is heavy enough to hug in all the right places.   I didn’t have to wear a bra since it had sewn in pads.   Was a very fun dress!   

Wore to a black tie wedding and it was perfect. so pretty and comfortable too 

Great comfortable dress. Very flattering 

Loved it so much. I'm super short, but the bottom flare fell around my ankles in the flirtiest way, super fun to dance in. I had to wear a strapless bra for support, but I am small chested and pretty saggy after breastfeeding 2 babies. I think most people could go braless. It stayed up well, even when dancing. So many compliments, but more importantly I felt beautiful and had SO much fun!!! Material was flattering and forgiving. 10/10 recommend 

Loved the material and fit! So easy to sit and move in. 

I wore this to a November evening wedding, and it was PERFECT.  The dress could easily be appropriate for anything from a cocktail event to black tie.  The lace at the bottom added just enough sass without losing any class. Fit was true to size...I wore a 4, which is my normal size.

So comfortable and flattering. Had stretch in all right places and stayed up without issue! Great LBD option with sex appeal. 

It's very comfortable, it's sexy but not tight. I really liked this dress. I felt beautiful in this dress. 

Loved this dress! Classy and easy to wear! Wore this to a award celebration, themed party! Tom's of compliments! 

It fits true to size and was super comfortable. Also I have no chest so the cups made it look more presentable, love this dress! 

This dress is everything. Formfitting where you want it and forgiving where you need it. Loved it!

It fit very well. Very fitted style hugging tighter to the body. I defiantly wore spanxs to feel good in this. Great length and fun style. I wore it to a black tie wedding. 

I rented this dress for a black-tie wedding. I wanted something classic and elegant. The fit was perfect and comfortable (even when dancing). The dress is fitted but stretches and the ruching detail around the mid-section is flattering. Be sure to arrange to receive your dress at least two days ahead of your event, just in case FedEx delivers late. 

Loved the way it fit me. The zipper did get a little stuck going up but nothing a little greased elbow couldn't handle. I wore it for a mountain wedding and paired it with a leather jacket. Loved how it hugged all my curves and was very forgiving on the tummy. Didn't need to wear any tape to hold up the dress and no spanx needed either. 

I usually like wearing something more colorful, but picked this on a whim and it was perfect for the occasion. Material is stretchy - I danced all night long in this dress!

I didn’t love the way this photographed and it was insanely tight and coming apart a little at the top, but it was perfect for the occasion (an Italian black tie event in which black lace was highly encouraged). 

It’s a good dress to show off an hourglass figure. 

If you’re looking for an LBD with a twist, this is the perfect dress. There’s a lot of intricate detailing seen in person that doesn’t capture in photos & the length is very forgiving for petite women (I’m 5’3”). Only downside is it has a tendency to fall down so vigorous dancing is at your own risk.  

Fit well, but had the typical cons that come with wearing a strapless dress (pulling it up) 

They dress is beautifully made. I have an hour glass figure so it fit by body like a glove. I felt so sexy and I received a tremendous amount of compliments all night. I want to buy it!

This dress was perfect! Fit beautifully! So many compliments. 

Absolutely adorable dress. The hem was a showstopper. Fit like a glove, and the ruching made it super flattering! I'm generally an 8-10 and this fit perfectly for my hourglass figure.

Roaring 20's holiday party dress! Fit was snug but with proper foundation pieces, it was perfect. I wore 4" heels to party in but sneakers to and from the venue and it never dragged on the ground. I'm only 5'2" so this is always a concern when dressing in long dresses. Top has a rubber strip to help keep it in place and there was only minimal shifting during dancing. I would wear this again for sure!

Highly recommend this dress. It is a little tight around the hips. Stays put well for a strapless dress.

I wore this for a black for wedding. I am small busted for my size, but It stayed up perfectly with a little bit of dress tape! Very nice material with a little bit of give and some ruching. I am 5'10ish and the longest part of the asymmetrical hem laid nicely above my ankle. This may be a bit long if you are petite. 

I rented the size 2 and it fit perfectly! Honestly I've never worn a strapless dress but this one fit so great that I didn't have to worry about it slipping down. It hugged my figure flawlessly and felt sexy and comfortable--highly recommend! Bonus: since I'm 5'3", a bit part of my reason for choosing this dress was so I wouldn't have to worry about length--perfect choice!

When I first tried this on, I didn’t think I would go through with wearing it. The top felt loose and I didn’t want to be pulling up. I ended up buying dress tape and that did the trick to reinforce things and keep anything from slipping. The dress itself was flexible, but with structure. It hugged curves well and even allowed for easy movement. I would recommend for a formal affair.

I picked this length for a final event because I'm so short. It was long on me but still loved it. A little bunchy in the mid section. 

Chose this for a gala event, the dress is pretty but I didn’t feel it was very interesting/unique - especially in pictures it just looks like a plain black dress. It is fairly form fitting and I’m 5 months post-partum, so I instantly bought shapewear after trying it on! It was super comfortable for dancing all night! Loved my first experience using RTR! I will definitely be utilizing it for future events!
