Amazing dress! I wore this with 2.5 inch heels 

Outdoor formal wedding in central Florida - perfect fit and look. Easy to wear a kitten heel with the hemline. Gold metallic sandals, clutch and summer-weight scarf worked well.

Someone in the comments said this dress was a sleeper and I couldn’t agree more! Fabrics c is beautiful!!! Got a ton of compliments!

Had so many compliments on this dress it was a perfect wedding guest dress!!!

Barely zipped it but it was gorgeous, fit was great
5'4" and 115 lbs

If you want to stand out in the best way.. wear this dress! I couldn't count the number of compliments I got during the night. I got a 10 because I would rather the dress be a tad too big than too small. If you want more room to breathe you can size up, but if you want a snug fit, go with your regular sizing. 

The texture and color are so beautiful, especially in the sunlight. Wore this to a back tie wedding and got so many compliments, I felt great and the dress itself is pretty comfy. Got my usual size 4- the fabric has no stretch esp in the bust/rib cage area so if you are 36B or bigger I would suggest sizing up 1 size! 

Never been stopped more at a wedding in my life. Complete strangers with no context of who I was walked up to me to ask about this dress. The mother of the bride walked to my table before the first dance to let me know how much she loved it. The bride yelled my name from across the lawn to freak out over it. It’s one of those dresses — trust me and rent it. 

I needed a dress for a formal red carpet event and my friend recommended RTR! Seeing this dress I just needed to have my hands on it and it fit so well! I’m glad my back up was 2 sizes larger as my original size (size 8) didn’t fit. Keep in mind if you have a bigger bust to size 1 or two 2 sizes up! I got tons of compliments on this attire and was a show stopper look🩷 

Loved the fit on this so comfortable and got tons of compliments wore it to a black tie wedding and travelled well and didn’t have to steam it - best dress I have rented for an event would 10/10 recommend 
Rented 10 and 12 but went with the 12 because it was a less tight on the waist and felt more comfortable 

Wore this for a black tie wedding and let me say it was a hit! This dress is absolutely stunning in the most elegant way. I wore a 6, probably could have sized down to a 4 for my waist and bust - but knew my back probably would be too muscular for a 4. Very comfortable and didn’t need to wear a bra. Seriously so flattering and just is such a special piece. It has some boning in the waist to give structure which is nice. Seriously received so many compliments. Rent this dress!!

This dress got so many compliments at my brothers wedding. I had people I didn’t know coming up and commenting on it. There isn’t much give in the chest/waist area just FYI. So if the dress is already tight there and you eat a full meal it might be a tiny bit snug. The color is a metallic light green with darker green, gold, and copper stitching. Paired with champagne/gold shoes and a beige/gold bag. Overall amazing dress! 

Never worn something that has received SO many compliments! Gorgeous dress. A 12 would’ve fit me better but the 14 was all that was available, full inch of slack in the back of the dress but made it work with body tape. 

I was stopped by so many people saying this dress was gorgeous and I couldn’t agree more! In the picture it looks more yellow, whereas the dress is more of like a metallic green, however I preferred it even more! If you have a fancy event coming up and want to feel extra glamorous, get this dress!! True to size and not uncomfortable. Doesn’t squeeze the girls too much but i am only a 34B. If you are more gifted in that area, you might want to opt for a bigger size, but this fit me just right

Received so many compliments on this piece. Fits true to size. 

Received tons of compliments, fits very true to size in my opinion 

loved this dress, wore to black tie optional wedding. i actually wanted to wear the new pink staud gown on rtr (rented both) but my husband was obsessed with this one. prettier in person, the brocade is such a nice gold color. it did start feeling tight in the stomach after dinner, tho, and i wasn't super comf afterward, but not removing a star bc i prob shouldn't have pigged out like i did lol 

Fit me perfect although definitely snug in the ribcage. Fabric is thick and has a beryl sheen. Got SO many compliments! 

Perfect fit to size! Got compliments all evening. 10/10 dress

wore to a black tie beach wedding and am obsessed!! I may have ordered too big of a size bc the chest part was huge but I was able to work with it. loved this!!! 

The dress was amazing!! Got so many compliments! Runs maybe slightly small in the chest area 

Received so many compliments on this dress! It is a bit of a squeeze but I would say it is still TTS, I would not have sized up. 

I did go with the larger of the two sizes after reading the reviews about the dress running a little small. Fabric does not have much give. Such a pretty pattern and got so many compliments!

The material is beautiful. The top was slightly big on me but was able to make it work for a wedding. Got so many compliments!

I got so many complements from strangers wearing this. It’s a showstopper. so comfy!

Wore for a bridgerton/garden floral wedding. Super flattering. Great to dance in! Loved it!

Being 60 but still trendy, I wanted something elegant but not dowdy. This dress was perfection! I had to go up a few sizes because of “the girls” (menopause has drastically made my cups overflow). As everyone has said, I received compliments all night long, which was shocking being at a Christian/Indian wedding with all those gorgeous saris!

Beautiful dress. Sized up since other reviews said there wasn’t much stretch. Glad I did! I was worried about the back piece being awkward but surprisingly it wasn’t in the way or weird. I think it makes the dress more unique! I have a wrap over my shoulders in this photo. 

Such a flattering dress!!! It’s perfect for weddings and so unique - I got so may compliments. I ended up sizing up to a 12 to give me a little more room at the top because the boning made it feel very tight on me but the 12 was so comfortable and never fell down! I will be renting again or even buying it, I loved it! 

This dress is the perfect formal attire. I got so many compliments on it. It has a good corset top that holds the dress up, with a good quality liner.

Wore this to my rehearsal dinner for our wedding. It was a unique cocktail dress. Considered purchasing but I couldn't think of multiple occasions for this.

Wore this dress for my formal and it could not have been more perfect! Fit just right! 

Rented this for a “Whimsical Ball” at an art gallery and it was perfect! I received compliments all night long, especially for the cape. The chest area was a tiny bit big on me but nothing awful, and with the structure of the dress, as long as it fits your waist right then you’re not pulling it up all night long. Interior is a bit scratchy on the chest area but not anything that can’t be fixed by some sticky boob circles. Rented both a 10 and 12 and they both zipped up, but the 12 fit much better. It looks best when it’s not wildly tight to your body because of the way the fabric lays - and the 10 would’ve had me holding my breath all night long. My waist is 35” and my hips are 43” for reference. 

I paired it with the Luv Aj Daisy Studs Necklace and the BOSS Ariell Handbag, also from RTR. Necklace matched so well and the purse was fine, but the pinks in the gown are more peachy than pink. Would’ve likely rented the Madewell Mini Cinch Crossbody had I known the pink was peachy but it’s ok, the BOSS handbag had a beautiful shape and held my phone, wallet, pill case, and lots of lipsticks, hand sanitizer, and more. 

Would definitely rent again!! 

The chest was a bit loose, maybe stretched out? But otherwise fit great

Corset was great - didn’t need a bra and the dress was beautiful!

Incredibly gorgeous dress- I was stopped by no less than 10 people complimenting it. The 8 was extremely tight and I had to get a second rental in a 10. The bustle does look odd when you pose at the wrong angle in photos

Endless complements at a black tie wedding. This one is gorgeous, true to size, and comfortable. I’m usually a 6 and rented both a 6 and an 8; wore the 6 which fit well. 

Really beautiful, but gets bunched in the waist - and I had to pull it up a lot. Going up a size could work (I ordered TTS) for someone with a large bust.

Corset was very structured and definitely tight. Size up 

color is definitely more shimmery / crystal blue than pictures on the model. very pretty in person

This was my first choice dress to wear for a wedding and I’m glad I rented a backup. This is not made for curvy bodies/wide hips. In fact, I think it was my hips that caused the dress to keep riding up, making a weird fold at the waist. The color is pretty, but this is a notoriously stiff choice of fabric and that also means the “train” or back part doesn’t always fall in a chic way. Overall the dress is just stiff and I definitely had to size up. I normally wear a 12 and the one pictured is a 14.

This dress fit like a glove, and is perfect for a black tie wedding at any time of year. It was quite comfortable and I didnt need to pull it up at all. I got dozens of compliments and felt like a princess!

got so many compliments on this dress! not very giving so I sized up

This dress was stunning!!! Fit perfectly!!!

Loved it! Fits better in person than the photos 

Wore it to an October black tie-optional wedding. I was concerned that the 8 wouldn’t fit based on other reviews but it fit like a glove. The dress is extremely well made and the material was high quality. I received so many compliments all night - was told twice that it was the prettiest dress there! Absolutely recommend renting this dress, and ordering it even if you’re worried it will be too small. 

One of my favorite rentals ever, did not want to take this off! Was worried it would be too light of a color for a wedding, but it was perfect. The listing photos are a little deceiving, it’s a light metallic sage green color. Received compliments ALL night! 

The back is a showstopper! Does fit a little snug around the waist but overall felt amazing and comfortable! 

I ordered a 4 and 6 and ended up wearing the 4. Id say the dress is pretty true to size, but you can size up if you want more room. The dresses came in like new condition and arrived before my scheduled arrival date. So happy with my 1st rental experience!

I’m a 34A and the 8 was very tight on my chest I would have gone for a 10 if I had it. Definitely size up a minimum of one size if you can. 

It’s a beautiful dress definitely worth renting for a fun evening.

LOVED this dress. It’s so beautiful and different from any other gown I’ve worn. Fabric is a little itchy but worth it. 

I really wish I could afford to buy it. Perfect dress!

Fabulous dress and got compliments all night. Very comfortable. Would suggest sizing up if more endowed. Would definitely rent again!

I heard so many compliments! The dress was well fitting, elegant, classy, everything that I wished for!
