I loved this dress! I wore to a gala with a glitz and glam theme. Like other Dress the Population dresses I’ve rented, i size up. Normally a size 12…the L fit but was very tight in the hips and butt. The XL perfectly skimmed! You can wear a normal strapless bra…I needed it to fill out the bust more but if you are busty already you may not need a bra.

I really loved this dress for a fall wedding. I am on the taller side and it hit me as a midi. It ran small. I sized up to the XL and did wear full shape wear for smoothing. Didn’t need many accessories bc the dress is a statement maker!

I loved this! It felt dressy but also fun and flirty for a warm fall wedding. I sized up and it fit just right… I am a little heavier than normal right now so very glad I did as this fabric has no stretch! Was able to wear a normal strapless bra and mid rise spanx briefs.

I was not able to wear this dress bc it was way too small for me. I carry my weight in my belly and hips and this was too straight of a cut. I am not sure one size up would have worked or not. It’s a pretty dress but I will note the “nude color” in the dress is actually pretty brown so it worked with my deep summer tan but wouldn’t have looked as good in winter or if I was fair.

Loved trying a new look with this jumpsuit. Very slimming and fabric didn't wrinkle. Three things though: 1. The top is open all the way. I had to pin it. 2. At 5'6" with a long torso it JUST fit. Any taller and I couldn't have worn. Also wish I had the tall length. Wore kitten heels to accommodate. 3. You cannot go to bathroom alone in this.

Wore for a rehearsal dinner with nude heels. The overall style is a little conservative but very flattering. On me (5'7" w/ long torso) it was short so it made it a little more cocktail party appropriate. Would be cute for a work even if you are shorter. Fits true to size.

I wore this dress as a bridesmaid in a gray/silver themed wedding party. It's absolutely beautiful in person and photographed well. Some notes on sizing: it fits true to size (like a glove) with a hint of stretch. Spanx made it even better but the fabric is very forgiving and you can wear a normal strapless bra. Length - I should have gotten the tall. I am 5'6.5" and it was too short in heels. If you are 5'6" or taller IN HEELS get the tall for sure!

This dress fit really well. I wore the 12 and I go between 10-12 in street sizes (usually 12 on RTR.) The colors on this dress are amazing with a summer tan - compliments all night and stood out in a sea of black. One caution would be that this dress may be tricky if you have a large bust - it's not really stretchy or particularly roomy up top. For reference, I'm a small 34c.

This is true to size, but fitted FYI! I wear a 10/12 and the Large was perfect. Wore spanx to smooth. It's a double layer fabric (no shine in it) that is smoothing and comfortable. The hem and the sleeves are unfinished but it's done well and makes it look a little bit edgy. Love this rental!
