I absolutely LOVED this dress. Considered buying. I wore to my birthday dinner and I will say the waistline became unbearable after I engorged myself on food. But it was worth it. I looked so fine in this! It's a little long so stairs were hard to come up or down on without bunching up the bottom in your hands. But the lace bust is fantastic, the nude blended in perfectly with me (I am very pale white so may not be true for darker or more olive skin tones). I loved it! If you're debating- get it

I absolutely LOVED this dress and felt amazingly beautiful in it. It's long, so high heels are needed, and it's a bit tight in the rib cage area, but overall, it fit perfectly. I received so many compliments, probably more than on my wedding day! I could not have been happier with any other dress, and I was comfortable the entire day and night. Again, stunning dress that was just my style!

I absolutely loved this dress! Although the other reviews don’t lie. It is a tad snug in the torso area and can be difficult to raise your arms up. But I wasn’t uncomfortable and I would highly recommend this dress :)

I loved this dress. It fit so well. The length was a bit long, even when in heels, but it really wasn't a problem. I ended up wearing a sticky bra, but you could probably get away with a normal bra depending on how the dress fits you in the chest. I got so many compliments, highly recommend for a formal event! 

I liked this dress, for the most part, but as someone who has wide shoulders and a fair amount of arm muscle, I felt a bit "stuffed". Because the arm fabric has no stretch, they were loose when my arms weren't flexed and too tight if I bent my arms up. Overall, I liked the dress, and it was comfortable. The zipper was a little worn, and the arms a smidge too long (but they look great cuffed). Great dress for something formal but fun. 

Fit great, actually long enough, everything was great.

I got a lot of compliments on this dress. I really wanted to go with Cooper Street but it was too tight. This dress was my second choice and I was very happy with it. For reference, I'm 5'4, 117 lbs 34D chest. I wore the 0 but could have comfortably worn the size 2 since the 0 was a tad tight in the chest. 

It fit pretty well although I'm not as well endowed in the chest area so when I sat it was a little loose up top. The dress is so fun to wear!

Very high quality. Something to note, is that there is a band that runs along the waist of the dress that was very tight, much tighter than the other parts of the dress. Overall I would definitely recommend this dress. 

This was the dress I wanted to wear to my event, but it was so disappointing I didn't end up wearing it. The fabric felt cheap, the sleeves were way too big and the slit on the dress is not as visible as the photo. I had bought red shoes to add a pop of color and you couldn't see them unless I stuck my leg out like Angelina Jolie.

I ordered a size down - so it was a little tight, but would have fitted perfectly had I ordered a 4. Even still, the dress was so beautiful and I got a ton of compliments.

One word of caution, the slip underneath is fitted through the butt and hips. If you are pear-shaped, I would consider getting whatever size you are on the bottom. 

Loved this dress so much. Wore a kitten heel and dress was perfect length. Sleeves were not too tight. Problem was the waist ribbon was so tight! I typically wear a 6, had to go for the 8 and even then the ribbon was strangling. Rest of dress fit well so not sure what body type this works best for. Got many compliments!

When I work an awards show, I have a few requirements for the dress - black, long, can be worn with flats. This fit the bill, but also added a couple extra bonuses - sleeves (perfect for the cool of A/C in a venue) and a beautifully detailed cutout fabric on the top that made it feel expensive and unique. The skirt had good movement, and I wore it all night perfectly happily. So pretty and chic!

Needed a dress to wear to the New York City Ballet Fall Gala. Needed to be very formal and modest. This dress knocked it out of the park. As I'm only 5'1" it was a little long. But I wore my highest heels and never tripped over it once.

As others have said, the band in the middle is the literal pinch point but you get used to it once you have had a few drinks and start dancing. The 6R was a better fit for that portion of the dress but it was too baggy up top for my smaller chest. I wore 2.5-inch heels and that seemed like a good height with the length of the dress. The slit made me nervous at first but they have somehow sewn it together so it doesn't fall open and expose you when you sit down. I would definitely rent it again!

I rented this dress for my engagement photos, but didn't end up wearing it due to them being rescheduled. I do feel it is a bit more formal than I would have liked and felt a bit severe for the occasion. It was very comfortable, but I would have had a better fit in a 10 due to my bust and hips. I like the slit and the cut outs. I think you can get away with wearing a regular black bra as well which is always a plus. The length was good for me without shoes on but my toes probably would have shown if I wore it with any sort of heels. 

Felt fantastic (minus the whole not breathing due to tightness in rib cage) 

The sleeves were a bit to long on me, but looked cute cuffed on the end.  It was nice to have a dress with long sleeves.  I didn't also have to carry a shawl.

I am 5'5", 135 lbs, 34DD with an athletic build. I wore a 6R and the fit was absolutely perfect. I am usually a 4-6, so the fit was true to size. I loved everything about this dress. I will note that it is a little long. I wore 6 inch heels, it was perfect on me, but I would suggest renting a petite size if you do not plan on wearing heels with it. 

The gown is even more lovely in person, and the cutout bodice is so unique--it helped me stand out from the crowd. I received many, many compliments, and most importantly I felt beautiful wearing it. 

My only complaint is that the ribbon right around the middle, separating the flowy skirt from the top section, is pretty tight. While everything else fit true to size this part was a bit smaller and so sitting down wasn't as comfortable as standing up--but it could also be that my rib cage circumference is larger than average as I haven't read this complaint anywhere else in the reviews. 

I wore this dress to a Governor's Inaugural Ball - perfect for a January formal event in the Midwest. 
Pros: I am very small chested, and this dress allowed me to wear a normal bra in a nude color. So, I was able to wear a "grow two sizes" bra from VS. The skirt has a slit up the left leg making it easy to walk. The lace bodice was soft (not itchy).  
Cons: Length of the dress! I ended up wearing the 0R, but it was easily 2 inches too long. I'm 5'2" and wore 3" platform heels. Since this dress wasn't available in a petite and I really liked it, I ended up using temporary hemming tape on the silk lining. Then, I allowed the outer layer to drape. Because of the length we skipped the dancing - I would have tripped over the dress! 

The dress is true to size - it was a little bit difficult to raise my arms but that did not stop me from hitting the dance floor.  I don't think the 0 has a petite option so I had to go with the regular.  It was a LITTLE long but nothing some heels couldn't fix and I really don't think anyone noticed anyway.

I loved this dress. Got many compliments. Comfortable and flows while also being fitted. Wish I could wear this again somewhere!!

Fit super great! Got compliments all night! 

Rented this for a black tie wedding. The top isn’t stretchy so it was a *little* hard to lift my arms up above my head, but not impossible. It was comfortable and I received lots of compliments on it.

While I said this dress is true to size, there is a ribbon between the two sections that has zero stretch. If it weren’t for this ribbon I probably would have worn the 4R. The 6R fit nicely, still a little tricky zipping at the ribbon part. The slit makes it easy to move around, but the geometric top is a little restricting if you try to raise your arms. I’m 5’ 8” and didn’t need any extra length

Whenever I received the order I was disappointed to find the sleeve on one of the dresses to be ripped. I was able to make due with the larger size dress and was not disappointed. I received so many compliments and was so comfortable the whole night. Overall great dress and looks amazing on. 

I heavily relied on the reviews of this dress. It does run small so I went a size up and it fit perfectly. I needed help to zip it up. I received many compliments on it. This dress was perfect!

I wore the 4L, my normal size and the waist was tight but didn't bother me. I would say size up for your extra size. I couldn't zip up the 2L. The long is long. I'm 5'10", wore 3" heels and this dress almost grazed the floor. The only thing I regret is not taking more pics in it (and not getting a solo pic)... it looks even prettier in photographs. It's a beautiful dress, understated sexy. I got lots of compliments, it's a standout dress. I would rent again in a split second.

Love this dress! Runs extremely long. I usually rent long but had to wear regular even when wearing 4" heels. Top and waist have no give whatsoever. Probably not best for a large bust, thick arms or apple shape body. Skirt is gorgeous, flowy and would work well if you have wider hips. Slit is low-mid thigh and makes the dress very easy to move in. Would buy this if possible. 

I am 5'4" and a 32A and I rented a 2R. The dress was a little longer than expected but it was probably because I wore only 1 inch heels. Would have been better if I had taller heels on. Overall, I LOVED this dress.

I’m a bigger 2 so the waist band was a little snug but the 4 would haven too big. Though the pattern change or pleating on the cheats made me look large, it was still beautiful, light and yet warm. 
The garment bag it cane it smelt horrible, almost made me want to get the dress cleaned. After letting the dress air out for a day, it was better. 
Overal - loves the dress. 

I loved the dress! It was difficult to zip up on my own. Sleeves have no give as other RTR reviewers have said. But it's flattering, comfortable and was great for a celebratory birthday dinner out! Wore a stick-on bra.

I wore this to an evening wedding and it was gorgeous.  Comfortable - flattering fit and endless compliments.  

Wore this for a wedding and loved it. It was comfortable and had just enough oomph without being over the top. The only thing is that it's impossible to zip up by yourself, so make sure someone is around to help you in and out of this dress! 

This dress was fabulous. The long was the perfect length when worn with a low heel. I received lots of compliments, and it was the perfect dress to wear to a fall wedding. I ended up sizing up one in order to fit my chest, and I'm glad I did. Otherwise perfect dress, and super comfortable! 

It is very tight around the ribs, the arms were almost to baggy, but everyone loved it! Would definitely recommend.
