Dress looked great.  I wore it for a New Years Eve party.  Gatsby theme.  I didn't do the whole Gatsby look but the dress went with the theme.  I am 5'3" and wore the 2L.  Which is not that long.  I wore it with a kitten heel shoe and the length was good with that shoe. Nothing higher.  Taller women, beware.  Long may not be long enough.  Gown on the top and little revealing but a little clothing tape took of it. Glamorous dress!

My other two choices didn't work for me. So RTR sent me this dress.  First the staff at RTR was absolutely incredible. The level of care and customer service was absolutely outstanding. But my problem was I reserved the other two that didn't work 7 weeks prior to the military ball  when they arrived it was 5 days to the ball.  When I ordered I didn't see this dress but saw it when the desperate hunt was on. The problem was I really needed an 8 or even a 6 as the dress is stretchy. My sizes were all gone so I went with a 10long. The dress was a bit loose and long. The right size would have been perfect. But considering that I live in Hawaii and that Monday evening I didn't have a dress I could wear and  the ball was Friday. And amazingly I had the dress on Wednesday, RTR did everything they could to make my event a success. 
So my recommendation get your size and one below. 

The fabric hangs perfectly - never bunched up. Be ready to show cleavage and leg!

Loved the dress and I got a lot of compliments from men and women alike. Loved the fit of the bodice and the slit made it a dream to walk and dance in as well added a subtle sexy touch. I wore a bodyshaper underneath the dress in order to smooth out my overall silhouette although that wasn't necessary given the ruched detailing and draping of the dress. My primary reason for renting this dress was that it allowed me to wear a regular bra which is a must for me given my larger bust size 34DDD. While I was able to wear a regular bra with this dress, the draping of the top panel caused me to feel like I was going to pop out of the dress all night long despite using garment tape. Furthermore, when I didn't feel like I was going to pop out I was constantly rearranging the dress so that the top panel didn't fall in a way that weirdly made one breast seem significantly larger than the other one, which was more covered because it was the bottom panel/didn't overlap like the top panel. The length was perfect for me falling right above the floor in low 2.5 inch heels. Overall I did love the dress, but was self-conscious most of the night due to the draping and fit of the dress in the bust area. I'd recommend this dress for women with average to more conventionally large bust sizes as I'm not sure it as the "home run" you'd think it be for women with fuller busts despite the fact that you can wear a normal bra. 

The fit was perfect, but I had to pin it at the chest to keep the right side from falling. Other than that, it couldn't have been better! 

I loved this dress!  From the second I put it on, I knew I made the right choice for the awards dinner.  I needed a little fashion tape around the chest area, but other than that, it was a great fit.  Very comfortable too!

Very nice dress overall but was cut so low that I had to wear a black cami shirt under which was very conspicuous. I tried the fashion tape and a black bralett and even together did not work so had no other choice. I'm 5'3" and the length was great and dress was flattering to the hips and to my shape but my girls would have been falling out all night long had I not worn a cami underneath. Still a great deal and I'm glad I found this website. 

If you have any issue with your middle at *all*, this dress resolves it. The draping is like magic, and the glass beading and fabric make this a substantial, chic and classy dress, while the low-cut neck makes the dress still sexy. The only reason this dress doesn't get five stars is because I had major issues with the right-side chest drape. It kept flapping open. And, while it was great that I could wear a regular bra with this dress, I was extremely nervous the whole night about flashing people. I used massive amounts of fashion tape, to no avail (and a pin just looked weird on it), so be ready to come up with a solution depending on how this fits you in the chest area! A note on the size also: I usually wear an 8, but this runs big, so I ended up wearing my back-up size 6. 

This dress runs big. I'm a standard size 6, so I ordered a 6R and a 4R. The 4 fit better and I wonder if a 2 would've fit as well. Contrary to what other reviewers have said, I didn't find this dress to be short at all. I'm 5'2" and in large heels (maybe 5 inches?), the dress was just off the ground. The dress is very comfortable. The only problem I had is that the top was a little big, so I needed to tape it. It's a very low v-neck, so make sure you're comfortable with that. But the dress looked fantastic and was very forgiving, even after a large dinner.

I absolutely loved the dress, it was a great fit. Classy and very comfortable. It was very short though. I would sugget getting a long, no matter how tall you are. I would consider myself pretty short, only 5`2 and with no shoes on it only came to my ankles. Just make sure despite what the measurements say that you get it long enough!

This was my first experience with RTR so I wasn't sure what to expect so I chatted with a fit consultant before ordering.  
When I first got the dress and tried it on, it looked too short, even without shoes, but after hanging for 24 hours, it turned out to be the perfect length with the shoes I wore.  I got lots of compliments and it was comfortable to wear.  Will definitely rent again.

The dress works well on an hour glass figure. I ordered the 8L and it skimmed the top of my shoes with 4" heels. The beading at the waist compliments the slight ruching. Very flattering and forgiving.

Loved the dress.  I am very glad I got the long - I am only 5'6" and wore 4 inch heels.  Because of the stretch I actually think that I could have worn the 6L even though I am never a 6.  This dress is very low - so not a could choice for large chested women.  The embellishment is actually hand-sewn individual crystals and beads - very nice.   

I actually rented this dress for my mom, she is a very petite lady, 5'1'', 110 lbs, she wore the 2R and it fit her nicely, was a good length but a little short for her 3 inch heels (didn't touch the ground).  She said she was very comfortable all night, but it was very low cut she had to pin it high up on the neck for her taste, and it might look better on a more curvy woman because the ruching on the hips didn't lay 100% right.  In any other color it would have been noticeable but with the black it looked fine. Overall she was very happy and looked wonderful!

This was my first rental from RTR and I must say I picked the perfect dress for my body type. I'm pretty proportioned, but have a nice sized butt and thighs so if you're curvy this dress will accentuate and flatter those areas very nicely. Another great thing about this dress is the coverage. I'm not overweight, but I do have cellulite in the thigh and butt area, as well as a little pouch in the abdomen. The design of this dress drapes the fabric to gently fall across all of those areas without looking as though you're trying to hide something. My abs looked flat, my butt looked great and no ripples or dimples seeped through. And, the plus is that I didn't wear any foundation - just a regular bra and panty set (I'm sure I would've looked even better had I worn my Spanx). The only possible problem with this dress is the plunging neckline.  It doesn't look too bad in the picture, but in reality it's tends to open when on the body so if you're busty or shy then you will definitely need fabric tape. I opted not to use tape and was comfortable with a more revealing cleavage (see pic). As for the length, I'm 5'4-1/2 so I ordered both the 6R and 6L and wore the 6L with 4" stilettos because I prefer to have my dress cover the tops of my shoes. I ranked this dress 4/5 stars because of the neckline only, and I'd definitely rent this dress again.
