This dress was a true showstopper. The fit was flattering and comfortable, and the sparkle caught the light beautifully without feeling over-the-top. It felt elegant, modern, and timeless all at once, perfect for a formal evening event. I received so many compliments throughout the night. The length was ideal with heels, and the fabric had just enough structure to feel secure while still moving effortlessly. I sized up from my usual size since I’m tall, and the slightly looser fit was perfect and exactly the look I was going for.

Hard to get over head and feels like you may not be able to get it off, but once on and arranged, it was gorgeous! got so many compliments!

Beautiful! Got so many compliments. The dress fit true to size. If you have a larger chest you may think the under slip is a little tight up top, but it is adjustable and easy to fix just right! This is certainly a show stopper and would recommend to all! 

This is a fun dress, and I received so many complaints!   Comfortable, just wore nipple covers, it would be hard to find a bra to wear with the low cut back and front. 

I loved this dress. It’s absolutely beautiful. I wore it to a Christmas party with a black moto jacket and black heels. It is soooo difficult to get on. When I first arrived, I decided it didn’t fit. The bottom silk layer is tight and I could not for the life of me get it to sit right. But on the day of the event, I followed the advice of another review and turned it inside out to put the layers on separately. Tears were shed and I bled a little from the sequins, but it was beautiful in pictures.

Advice to RTR, separate this into 2 pieces!! Why is it sewn together??

I got so many compliments! It was a little hard getting on and off because the slip is connected and was fitted at the top. It also kinda pulled my hair getting it on and off. But, overall I loved it!! It was perfect for my Christmas formal!

Wore this to a gala and got so many compliments on it. I am in between a 4 and 6 and definitely had to wear a 6. It was heavier than I expected but still super easy to dance all night in. Highly recommend!

Wore to an arts benefit, so beautiful, it’s a kind of white-silver tone that reads so well on pale girls! Got so many compliments, really stunning. SUPER glittery if that’s what you’re going for!

I wore this to a theme work gala, and the sequins were right on theme. The dress is beautiful, but runs very small. I sized up to the 14 and it was kind of like wearing a very scratchy body con. Not comfortable at all, but definitely was a whole vibe. 

Obsessed with this dress! I wore to a gala. Super comfortable. Didn't need to wear a bra thanks to the slip having a little lining in the chest. Used fashion tape on my chest to hold into place for extra security. So stunning in person. I didn't find it to be itchy as others noted.

Felt like the sparkliest girl in the room! Soooo comfortable. I rented the two and the four, but I went with the four because I wanted to feel a little slouchy in the dress, and it was perfect!

This was a beautiful dress, but unfortunately just too big.  I had no problems getting this dress off or on,  I just had to bundle the dress up, like you would when you put a pillow case on a pillow.  The overlay is beautiful and heavy.  The built in slip was too big, and I would have had a boob pop out for sure.  

Beautiful dress, but should have not sized up. 

Beautiful dress that stands out in a crowd

I rented this for the Backstreet Boys Millennium 2.0 concert at the Sphere. I loved that it still looked cute with casual shoes and had so much fun with all the sparkle. It is very itchy at the neck and armpits because of the all the sequins - but totally worth it. 

I sized up after reading reviews and wish I hadn’t.  Dress is striking and sexy.  Def scratched the inside of my arms if I wasn’t careful.  

Getting this dress on truly brought me to my wits end bc the slip underneath is attached (and will prob be inside out) and also it has an extra string in the back and there are just so many holes and you can’t see anything when it’s going on. However, once it WAS on (7th attempt)((I am not exaggerating)), it was very sparkly and fun. Definitely not the most flattering dress as the outer layer hides any shape you may have, but the sparkles make up for it. 🤷🏼‍♀️
If you do end up renting this dress and have any intention of wearing it, I recommend: 
1. turn on the AC so you don’t overheat during the impending frustration
2. turn the sparkle layer inside out and hang it on a shower door or something
3. Put the slip on (whilst sparkle layer is on door)
4. flip sparkle layer on 
Idk. Good luck. 🫡

Fit amazingly - I sized up so it would more like a shift dress and it was great. Ignore the terrible pic - it rained all night long at the concert and it was the best one I could get! 

After reading many reviews, I sized up in the dress. Despite being a little loose, I was able to secure it with a mid-waist belt and dress it up with western inspired accessories for a country concert in Las Vegas. It was fantastic and I received numerous compliments on it!

I wore this to a champagne-themed gala and found it to be a perfect fit for the occasion. It was elegant, comfortable, and I received many compliments throughout the night. While some friends noted that the silhouette doesn’t accentuate curves as much, I agree that it’s more flattering in person than in photos. If you have a fuller figure, it’s worth keeping in mind that the cut offers a more relaxed fit rather than a form-fitting style.

I felt so beautiful in this dress I never wanted to take it off! It's a little uncomfortable my nature of the sequins but tolerable! 

I can't even tell you how many compliments i received! This dress is a showstopper. The glitter wasn't too much. It was very pretty. Get it I wore size 10 and it was perfect

I wore this to a great gatsby themed 40th and got the most compliments and felt amazing in this dress!!!!! Would have never normally rented this but was aoooo flattering , trying to think of places I can wear it again!!

This was such a unique dress! The fit is almost like a flapper dress. I was planning on wearing a belt to help highlight my waist, but when I tried it on, the dress is best on its own. It's so stunning! The sheer, sparkly overlay was loose, but the fitted satin slip still gave me shape. I am very tall -- the slit was a little high for my liking. But I was just extra cautious when sitting to pull it closed. I'm a size US 8, the 12 fit perfectly! Definitely recommend!

Beyond comfortable to wear and felt so glamorous!

Rented this beautiful dress for my bachelorette weekend in Palm Springs. I felt amazing and it was SO comfortable and just beautiful! Would absolutely buy if I had more glam occasions to wear it for. 

This fit the bill for a Palm Royal themed gala. I ordered the size up as was suggested, and the fit was perfect. My only issue was the slip underneath was very wrinkled and the hang loop showed where the slit was. Had to use invisible tape to keep it hidden. Otherwise and absolute showstopper!

I loved this dress. I felt so good in it, and it was just the right amount of sparkle — subtle and super chic. It is IMPOSSIBLE to get on. I suggest getting the slip on first, then the dress—they're connected, but it's possible. I got my usual size and the length and fit were perfect but if you have any boobs at all this dress might not work; the slip is super tight around the chest area. Would def rent again!

We had a black tie gatsby event I wore this too! It is a one piece, and is heavier than it looks. It is comfortable still, but the chest area is tighter. It did not fit my boobs well but you couldn’t tell.

Fit just right and made a statement. Picture did not do it justice.

This dress is so much fun to wear! I got a ton of complements. It is a little heavier than most dresses and the sequins can be a little rough but I had no skin irritation and I wore it for hours and was moving around a lot. 

I love the way this dress fits and how shiny it is! I would totally recommend. 

Pretty dress - but material has no stretch and its a NIGHTMARE getting on. I had to use the bigger size because I literally could not get the smaller size over my head. Once on the dress fits nice but beware, put dress on before hair and makeup 

I loved everything about it. I am always a size 6… and it was right on with the EU 10. 

Simply stunning and total comfort, not scratchy itchy like some beaded or embellished gowns. Perfect runs true to size 

The cut of this dress is so flattering and the shell slip underneath is extremely comfortable. The sizing was roomy but I would still consider it TTS. It catches the light so well. Flash On!!! 

I was complimented on this dress all night! I was really torn between sizes but my regular size was ultimately a better fit as the next size up looked too wide on my shoulders and was too long even in my highest heels! The uppermost ribcage area was snug on me but not a dealbreaker - I was still slouching as millennials do every time they sit down ;)
