Elegant!
Perfect holiday party dress. I had to size up to an 8 to zip the back because of the position of the zipper, so I’d recommend going up at least one size (RTR recommended a 6 for me). I didn’t need tape but you might have some handy just in case.

Immediately yes
Absolutely a showstopper. Comfortable, doesn’t require tape, and beautiful. I was worried it would be too much for a family black tie event but it was perfect

Stunningly beautiful dress!
I've worn this dress before years ago, and it did not disappoint a second time. The simplicity highlights curves, and the open back adds to the elegance. I even saw another lady in the same dress at this black tie optional affair, and she looked amazing!

Perfect Roaring 20s Dress
Short when sitting down but stunning the whole time. Loved the sequins and fit of the dress- sized down per the reviews and it fit perfectly. I wore this to a work event and it was lovely!

Metallic Nile Dress

Perfect for a pop of color at a black tie wedding!
Fits true to size, and the long was perfect with 3.5/4 inch heels. Truly the only thing I could say that's a negative about this dress is it wrinkles so badly in the skirt area. After working on it with a steamer it was much better, but still not something you want to worry about. Otherwise, the cut and color make it a great standout dress. The band across the ribcage is a little tight, but it was not something that bothered me the whole night.

Didnt wear it
Runs very small and is difficult to do the back buttons and such by yourself

Felt amazing
This fits really well and is very slimming. Fany enough for business casual but could go into dinner easily. Would definitely rent again!

"I love that skirt!"
So many women stopped me to tell they loved the skirt! I felt like i looked great in it. It is kind of see-through so be aware if you wear a black shirt and tuck it in (or a leotard like I did) it may show in places.

People stopped me all night to say wow, y'all!
Absolutely gorgeous. I was really worried it was too much for a black tie wedding but it turned out amazing. I'm 5'7" and normally wear a 4, and the 4 fit perfectly. I do not have a flat stomach, but the dress gives you a little leeway. I was able to wear my strapless bra but I did have to make sure it wasn't showing on the sides. Compliments all night - this dress is not made to blend in. I loved it!

Feeling like a million dollars on the runway
I rented this for a charity fashion show as a guest model, and let me tell you, this dress is a show stopper. It seems slightly scandalous, but is lined in key places. Hugs curves and hides imperfection like a dream. I wish I owned this dress!!

Being told "you look gorgeous!"
Perfect for a formal-ish wedding. The dress acts a little like Spanx, which was wonderful. Not too heavy for an outside wedding (in Colorado during the summer, may be too much for full on TX summer)! I normally wear a four but I tried on the two and didn't even touch the four, it was perfect!

That "wow" reaction!
I normally wear a 4, but the 2 was stunning and I didn't feel packed into it. You're going to have to wear a sticky bra because of the back, but it's so worth it. The dress can get hot because of the lining and fabric, but I felt like a movie star all night. I'm 5' 7" and if I hadn't worn my highest heels it would've have dragged on the ground. The neck part in the front can get a little tight, but nothing too bad. Rent and enjoy it!

They matched wonderfully!
They are a little bigger than I normally wear, but they are not heavy at all. Matched perfect with my blue dress - this was an impulse "why yes I would like to add mystery bling" purchase and I don't regret it. They're gorgeous!

It fit perfectly!
I was worried about not wearing a bra but this dress was perfect. It's elegant and form fitting, and ladies, it has pockets! The boning will only be a problem if you try and scoot your chair in at the table—otherwise you won't even notice it! I never had to pull it up or worry it was sagging. Be careful the bright orange hanging straps don't show when you first put it on, and then go enjoy yourself.

You will truly feel like a Hollywood starlet in this dress!
I'm 5' 7" and normally wear a 4, so I ordered a 4L with a 2L for backup. The 4L was too loose, but the 2L fit perfectly. The only con is you have to be careful your heel doesn't get caught in the mini train on the dress!
