Nice quality material. I personally thought this dress fit well, but wasn't appropriate for the function I was attending. It also gave me an older lady vibe. Not really my type of dress, but would be ideal for a black tie.

The dress has some stretch so it’s safe to say size down a size and you’ll be snatched in! I’m usually a 6, but the 4 fit perfectly it was just a bit long on me because I’m a short girly.

Great fit, notice the little straps on the back!! I didn’t 🥲.  Very fun and great leght

This was a replacement dress for me and i am so glad i got it. I'm an 8-10 depending on brand and due to the straight line of the dress  I decided to wear the 12 but could have worn the 10. There is a built in clasp at the bust that helped reinforce the strapless bra. It kept me from feeling like i need to tug the dress up which is great. Lots of compliments at the black tie event I wore it to. The purple is an awesome color. 

Got lots of compliments and people asking me where I got my dress! For anyone who has a smaller bust, definitely recommend sizing down (especially if you plan on being on the dance floor!). I originally ordered this dress with the blue sash in a size 6 & 8 instead of the pink but they were too large in the chest & the size 6 had a rip in it. Had to request the next size down from RTR - luckily the replacement dress came just in time for the wedding and fit like a dream! 

Definitely recommend wearing with a tall heel if you're 5'5" or below, with 5 inch platform heels the dress just hit the floor. Any shorter and I would've been tripping over it!

It fit great but I did constantly have to pull the top up. 

Received a lot of compliments - a little big on the chest but still was able to wear it 

The top is a bit challenging if you have a bigger bust, but the lines on this dress are beautiful.
I would not recommend this dress for a warm weather event, the fabric is heavy, but this dress is so beautiful 

Everyone loved the dress even the bride! 

I wore this dress to a black tie wedding event.  I ordered a size 10 and 12.  When I received the dresses, the size 10 didn't have the boning in the top, but the 12 did.  (Someone previous must have altered the dress.)  The 10 fit me better and I was able to make it work, but the boning would have made it better.  I wish it hadn't been altered!  However, it's a beautiful dress!

So, this was actually a replacement dress that RTR graciously sent me after the dress I planned to wear was too big. I am so glad that first dress didn’t work! This dress was so flattering, fun, and comfortable. I received so many compliments and felt amazing all night. It stayed up without issue through a LOT of dancing, and photographed well. If you’re on the fence, go for this one! One note - there is a strap inside you can fasten for added security. It’s almost like a bra strap. I initially had it on, but it rubbed against my skin in an uncomfortable way, so I undid it about an hour in. It had no impact on the way the dress fit.

Fit great, no need to size up or down. Used fashion tape for top just so it laid nicer. Sash,bow hid some tummy and I felt good in this dress!

Great dress for the formal wedding we attended at The Dominion in San Antonio. Lots of compliments and fits so well. 

Ordered this dress for a black tie wedding and it was the perfect amount of formal! The sash makes the dress very flattering and the overall the material of the dress is high quality. My only complaint is that the corset of the dress was a little tight on me (i have a bigger chest) and so i ended up sizing up and even then it was still a little uncomfortable. But overall i would wear this dress again and got lots of compliments!! 

Loved wearing this dress! It was stunning and very unique for a black tie optional wedding. The fabric is stretchy, so it's very comfortable to wear all night. I had a 3" heel and it went right to the floor for me, so I could have had a higher heel. It stayed up very well all night even with dancing as well. The lining definitely shows at the top, but I don't think that took away from the overall look. The size 4 was definitely too big for me, but the 2 was perfect. I usually wear a small in shirts and size 2 or 4 for blazers and a 25 or 26 for jeans.

The gown is so unique and fun and it fit me like a glove… Mostly. The top seems like it was made for someone with a very large chest. I don’t think any amount of fashion tape was going to keep the top in place. A creatively pinned vintage brooch solved the problem, but I was almost out of luck before I figured that out.

I got so many compliments on my dress at the gala I attended. I ordered the 8 and 10 as I'm usually i'm between depending on brand sizes, I went with the 10 as I didn't want to be too tight sitting for the program part of it. It had a good amount of stretch and was really comfortable fabric. I wore it with some black 3" heels with a silver embellishment on them. Definitely will be using RTR again no questions asked!!! 

So mant compliments I felt beautiful in this dress

Overall, this dress was such a hit. Was the perfect find for a black tie wedding. The one downside is that the lining peaks out at the top of the dress, I had to use fashion tape to fix it and it still showed a bit. 

This dress is very true to size. Material is forgiving.  The purple color makes it pop. 
I received so many compliments. I’m tall and have a long torso and it was perfect. 

loved this dress - fit was good and despite appearances it was pretty comfortable/easy to wear and dance in. was a little long - at 5’2”, I wore 6 inch heels and it juuuuust grazed the floor, but wasn’t really an issue other than navigating outside/grass. 

Beautiful dress, but ended up not wearing it for the black tie optional wedding I was going. I will definitely be renting it for another event where this fits the vibe more.

Fits perfectly and it is beautiful in person.

Very beautiful classic dress with color!  Super flattering. The size 6 fit in the body but was tight in the bodice. The size 8 fit great for “the girls” and was still fitted enough in the body of the gown to not look big or sloppy. Thick material with little give. 

This was a fine option for a formal gala with a 1980s theme. I wish I’d gotten a size smaller, but the boning gave enough structure to the top that it held up ok. I liked the thickness of the black material. The top of the bodice kept flipping inside out as the top rolled over, showing the shiny lining. Overall, fine.

I wore the 6.  I usually wear a 6 in dresses

This dress was incredibly flattering and put a twist on the "little black dress". How you accessorize this will make or break your look and I felt at times that it could easily feel very 90's prom. Overall, I was happy. I'm typically a size 4 but should've sized down to a 2. Overall satisfied.  

I have had my eye on this gown forever and jumped at the opportunity to rent it. It was honestly a size too big, but I loved it still. It was super easy to throw on and it was comfortable the entire night. I will 100% be renting this again in the other color! 

Everyone I talked to was wearing a black gown so I wanted something similar but with a bit of flare.  This was perfect.  The bow was very pretty and stood out beautifully.  The dress stayed up pretty well although I wish I had a more padded sticky bra.  The only annoying thing is if I wasn't careful the lining would stick out a little at the top as the dress seated down lower.  So when I sat down I had to make sure I had enough give and fabric that it didn't get pulled down.  I may have been able to get away with a size 2 but I did not have that in my order.  

Stretchy, comfortable but a tad long for this 5’2 girl. Still worth it! 

I loved this dress so much! It was so classy and different which I loved. I received many compliments throughout the night and I felt so elegant in it. Ordered a size 4 and fit TTS. 

Great dress. Was comfortable to sit and move in. Lots of compliment. Could have gone with either the 12 or the 14, but was worried the 14 was a little too loose on the top. Wore with a strapless bra, but feel you could definitely get away without one. 

At first I thought it might be too matronly but with the right hair and accessories i ended up loving it. Super comfortable and flattering TTS fit. Really elegant and sophisticated, perfect for a black tie event. Got TONS of compliments. 

The dress color is gorgeous and the material is thick and quality without being heavy. 
It was way too long on my short frame, but I was able to safety pin it in not-so-obvious spots (like under the cummerbund/sash) and it sat nicely.
Lots of compliments!
