The sleeves were long enough!!!
As a "statuesque" woman (read "awkwardly tall"), I loath constantly tugging at sleeves that are too short. This dress fit perfectly and made me feel like a beautiful French doll. The color, black trim and lace skirt make it oh so slightly daring without being revealing in any way. I wore a black strapless bra with it. I got so many compliments. Another RTR grand slam!!!

Great simple black dress
Easy comfortable fit. Had to tug a bit on the sleeves during the night and I was afraid I would rip them but they were deceptively sturdy. Wore to a valentines symphony performance. Loved the below knee length, felt very '20s.

Gorgeous asymmetric hemline
This dress was sent in place of another I had rented which became unavailable. I have put on a few pounds so it was too tight on me but I will definitely try the next size up for a future rental. Stunning hemline makes it not just another black dress.

Lovely holiday party dress

Very pretty dress, heavy high quality fabrics
Too tight on my hips even when I tried a size up, not for a very curvy woman. But the dress was beautiful!!

Shiny, smooth and comfy
I felt like a movie star without being too exposed. I chose not to wear a bra, which may not be an option for some women. Super comfortable while still being flattering. Soft, shiny, fabulous.

Comfortable summer dress
Fluttery, comfortable, feminine but with strong colors. I used a regular strapless bra. At first I was worried about slippage if the sleeves were worn lower but that wasn't a problem, it just wasn't my style so i wore them higher on my shoulders. Great dress for a date night with my special man.

Waaaay too tight, could not get the large over my hips without ripping the fabric
Blue Escape Dress

Formfitting but flattering and comfy
Fit like a glove, moves with the body. Spanx helpful. I liked the off the shoulder look but the dress kept rotating off center on my body and had to tug on it several times during the night to straighten it out. Also, there was a slight armpit odor emanating from it that made it seem it hadn't been thoroughly cleaned, though there were no stains.

So many compliments
Great dress for a holiday gala as it is festive without being the usual black red or green. Got my Hubbie a bow tie to match and we were the stars of the ball. Fit was perfect. Loved the pockets. I wore flats and the length was perfect but would have been ok with 1 or 2 inch heels as well. Comfortable and stunning- could you ask for more???

Very comfortable, if slightly snug in the hips for me
Great date night dress. Very comfortable. Form fitting but not tight. Only a bit snug in the hips, fit me perfectly in the bust. Loved the color and the asymmetric hemline.

Understated lovely and elegant
Fit was perfect for me, lengthw as just long enough for my 5'11", the dip in neckline might make it difficult to wear a standard bra, I am smallish so can go braless, the mesh neckline was a nice cover. Comfortable feel. Beautiful well made gown. Hubbie wore black tie.

Easy fit, comfortable. I did not end up wearing this one as it was my backup, but would probably rent it again.

A little tough to get my iPhone in otherwise gorgeous bag for a black or black-based dress.

Excellent fit, comfortable, stand out dress, perfect to wear once.
Fit well, easy to wear with strapless bra, slit in front is modest enough and sexy enough, pattern is striking and unusual. I loved being able to wear this dress once for a knockout impression at my hospital gala, and not having to pay top dollar for it!!!

Light, flowy, comfortable, perfect for an outdoor spring/summer event.
I wore this to my husband's graduation. Very comfortable, easy to pair with a strapless bra. I did not wear a slip with it but had no problems, it is adequately lined. Got several compliments! Would actually buy this dress.

Very nice and comfortable dress for formal event
Length was perfect for my quite tall height in 1.5" heels. Nice drape of fabric, simple color scheme, easy to pair accessories.

Nice dinner dress
Fit well, even though I am between medium and large size wise. Was just long enough in the regular size to reach my ankles, and I'm quite tall.
Floral Verona Maxi

Lovely dress for dancing
Fit me well, and I am currently right between medium and large sizes. Fun on the dance floor. Long size was perfect length for me at 5'11", had to hold it up while going upstairs even with two inch heels. Color is unusual but flattering combination. upper half of bodice has skin tone which almost makes it look like the dress only has one arm strap, so it looks sexy at first glance but in reality is quite modest. All in all a nice dress.
Yulia Maxi Dress

Loved wearing this dress, which I would never buy. It's unforgettable and I couldn't wear it twice!
A little big in the chest for me but not horribly gaping. The 10L fit me like a glove in the torso and waist and was nice and flowy the rest of the way down.
