Needed the boob tape. Wore with no bra. Fit perfect.

Worn to a wedding & would easily rent again for any other dressy event this season. I ordered the long based on reviews & description and was pleased with where it hit wearing a standard heel.  Even barefoot it was not touching the floor.  There was a slight gapping of fabric on my lower back that was more noticeable in my usual size 8 fit but less so in the backup size 10. Was able to wear a regular bra & smooth panty making this an even bigger winner!

Almost too good to be true - I was so comfortable in this dress yet felt like a million bucks. Endless compliments all night! 

I wore this to a Christmas Gala. It fits all the right places, and the length is perfect for us short girls (I’m 5’1 and wore a small heel and it was perfect). 

Great for a December wedding! Super comfortable, form fitting, may not be ideal for women with larger busts! (I’m a 36A and it fit me perfectly) 

The slit was a little higher than expected, but with tights and closes toe shoes I had 0 complaints! I was getting compliments all night! 

You do need a low-cut bra, and while I wore a piece of shapewear to smooth over my hips and belly, I did have to cut the “shorts” off because otherwise it was visible through the front slit. I would absolutely wear this dress again- very soft, stretchy, gorgeous color and lots of compliments!

Dress is great! Hides the tummy. I am 5’11” and the regular length was long enough. My backup dress was a 12 L and I don’t think it was more than half an inch longer than regular. If you have very large breasts, it may not fit well on top. I’m 36D and they barely fit into dress with an appropriate amount of cleavage. It is a beautiful blue color!

Beautiful velvet dress for a winter wedding. Rich dark blue color. Fairly low cut, gorgeous center slit. Velvet ribbing is flattering and smoothing. Shaping enhances hourglass figure. 

Sized up as I usually do in Soshanna: perfect through rib cage that way. Length great, slit did not trouble me; it is a deep neckline plunge, which I like, but you do need to be ready! 

I was the MC for an orchestra concert. This was the perfect classy/sexy gown. Easy and comfy to wear, a little challenging to zip but I managed without assistance. Got MANY compliments!

You can see from the other reviews how popular this dress is and understand why. It’s a beautiful deep blue color, stretchy and very comfy. I loved it as did everyone I was with. 

MyGot a lot of compliments and wore it with Lizzos yizzy body shaper so everything was sucked it. FYI be aware that it has a low neckline… oops

Got so many compliments. This dress was perfect! I'm usually between a 6-8 but I've gained a decent amount of weight (thank you, Covid) so I was stressing about this event but the 8 fit wonderfully. 

This fit just right. I was scared it would be too long for me, Im 5'4", but with my 4 inch heels it was just the right length. Absolutely in love with it and it shaped my body just right ! 

Very comfortable and fit well! Probably even better for smaller chest ladies but still worked well for me (34D). True to size! Looks much better in person for sure. A+++ 

The exterior fabric feels very luxe with a nice amount of stretch, so it was quite comfortable all night. The dress hugs your curves nicely, with a graceful drape but not lots of material. The V neck is very low cut, but I was able to wear a stick-on bra with it. The length was perfect with 2" heels. I felt like the dress needed a little embellishment at the waist, so I added the gold-tone chain belt (as I had seen someone on RTR before me do. Thanks for the great idea.) Got lots of compliments. 

The fabric is stretchy. It's so comfortable. I've rented multiple times.

Fit SO well. I loved everything about it!!

Wore this to a charity gala & loved it! Great fit & so soft, stretchy & comfortable!

It was a little big around the waist but the velvet was so comfy! It was so easy to move and dance in.

Loved this dress, very comfortable to wear, sexy and sophisticated at the same time 

I originally ordered the 6, but decided to wear the 8 due to the 6 being too tight in my shoulders. I could have went with the Long due to wearing heels, but it still looked great. Dress was very comfortable and elegant. Highly recommend! 

This dress was not only gorgeous on, it was actually super comfortable too. Loved the deep blue color, velvet felt luxurious. The material and fit didn’t need shape wear.  Deep cut, so fashion taped to be on the safe side. Would definitely rent again. 

I rented this dress for a holiday black tie event, and I loved it so much that I later bought it. Every time I went to the restroom I received compliments (it's so fun to be a girls girl!) AND the dress was as comfortable as it was gorgeous. I'm excited to add it to my wardrobe.

This was beautiful for a black tie wedding!  I got so many complements.

A beautiful fabric for a fall wedding. Fit so well and was comfortable all night. Not a lot of stretch to it so order a size above normal. Got a lot of compliments on this classic piece. 

This dress fit great and was easy to dress up. It was also very comfortable and flattering.

So comfortable! I’m self-conscious of my hips & thighs & this material was flattering without being clingy. Super soft too! The fit was perfect & not too long so no need for super high heels. 

This dress is so elegant and comfortable. I didn’t wear a bra (although I could have).  The slit does go pretty high when you sit so for a winter event I was trying to close it to stay warm. The material is velvet with strip texture with a very vibrant almost glossy look. I would definitely rent again. I went with hair down based off other people’s pictures, but I wish I wore it up because the small cap pop shoulders were so pretty. 

Absolutely loved this dress! I'm 5'3 118lbs 34C 26inch waist.
Rented the 2R and the 4R and the 4 was beyond perfect. So comfortable and was able to eat and dance all night. I paired it with gold earrings and rose gold heels.

This dress is amazing! I felt beautiful in it - but it ran pretty small for me. I ordered the 14 and 16 (I’m a street size 10/12 but dresses are tough on me) and while the 14 was fine, the 16 skimmed my body and was more flattering. Such a great dress!

The dress was nice, fit fine but I was worried about it being too warm. Didn’t end up picking this one. 
The fabric seemed thin but I wore it for about 20 minutes in my house and started to get really hot in it. 
The blue was so pretty! 


This was my first ever RTR experience. I ordered 3 different dresses bc I’m bigger and you never know what is going to work. This was not my first option but the dress I wanted didn’t fit right and the other back up dress had some awkward cut outs on the sides. This was pretty modest but was pretty low cut to where my bra ended up sticking out a couple times and I had to do frequent adjustments. I also had to buy a bra day of the event so it would work with the plunging neckline. The girls were OUT. Others left comments about the slit coming up too high when seated but I didn’t find that to be an issue. Overall, I’d give it a solid 8/10. Wish it was full long sleeves just as a personal preference but solid pick for a Black Tie optional fall wedding. 

Comfortable. Plunging neckline had me a bit nervous but i wouldn’t change a thing!  Beautiful color!  Perfect for fall wedding!

I have a stitch gun (highly recommend) and I used it to make the bottom of the v-shape neckline attach to my bra because otherwise, it looked weird (if you can somehow get that part to stay up against your body like I did, then it fixes the whole shape of the dress/torso! I am a size 12 and a 14 was all that was available (it is true to size, the 14 was too big - I used a handle and hair tie to tighten the waist up to fit me) Definitey order in your own size! is is also a stretchy fabric, with the waist having the least amount of stretch

Wear some bold earrings with in and a strapless bra. Thank goodness for the back up size. Had to wear the 8.

The dress was comfortable and elegant. Thank goodness for the backup size of a 4R because the 2R was way too small- it had to have been a 0. The 4 was longer and looser than I expected. The dress wasn’t as form fitting since it was too big. 

Perfect fit, has a little stretch. Was appropriate for a work event, where I looked classy and pretty but not boring and corny.

Received lots of compliments on this dress. I'm between a 10 and 12 and went with the 12 to be more comfortable and didn't have to wear Spanx - it hung nicely. The 10 would have shown more bumps which I didn't need at a sit-down dinner. 

I have a very large bust, 36H. The 14 fit but 16 fell better on the chest. The dress was very comfortable and very flattering. It hit the waist nicely and dropped and hugged in great areas. It’s got some give to it too which is beneficial when being 5 months post partum. I’m normally a size 12 or dress size 14. If you have normal size chest it’s true to size!

As the other reviews say, the color is magical. Shines a cobalt blue, with a gorgeous velvety shine.

My typical size of 8 fit great. Very flattering and comfortable dress. I had several compliments through out the night. Would definitely rent again

Extremely comfortable and very forgiving 

I’m kicking myself for not getting a better picture of me in this with my glam done!! I rented this for my office Christmas party and it was an absolute showstopper. It fit perfectly and ran true to size. It definitely shows off the girls, so if that’s something you are uncomfortable with, this is not the dress for you. I was worried that the column style gown would not give me any shape, but I was completely wrong. I wish I had more reasons to rent this dress.

So glad they send 2 sizes. I technically could have worn the size 2, but there was a buffet in my future so I opted for the size 4. There really isn’t a stretch in the fabric as far as the arms go, so they can be restrictive, but overall sizing up made it comfy without looking too big.
