Gorgeous color and cut
Stand out in a sea of black! The color is not bold but also not pale-simply gorgeous! Beautiful cut and straight fit-definitely made for a slimmer figure-no give in the dress. A little lower cut than I expected but still fine. As others mentioned, the shoulders/sleeves are a little fussy but good posture kept them in place for me. Loved wearing this dress!

Classic and well fitting for this tall gal!
This was my emergency backup dress and it was like it was made for me. I'm 5'8, 125 lbs and the fit was perfect. With 3 inch heels, the dress was at exactly the right length-barely touching the floor. Back slit makes it easy to move in, even as the dress it's a straight cut. Simple dress overall but worked for what I needed!

Simple black dress
Classic, but simple dress. Nice fit and length in a long is super for tall gals. I'm 5'8 and prefer 3-4 inch heels and this was right at the floor for me-hard to find! Hangs very nicely but is very plain if that's what you're looking for!

Odd fit
Dress was very snug in the chest but strangely made in the hips. I'm a 32b and was smooshed up top in both the 2 and 4. Also the cut of the dress at the hips stuck out on my outer thigh-like if you were having something taken in at the tailor and it was pulled to be pinned. I couldn't wear either as the hip issue was just odd.

Gorgeous color and fit
Agree with others-need to size up 2 sizes. Usually a 2/4L and the 6R fit like a glove. Wore 3 inch heels and length was great for outdoor wedding. Front slit was not too high or trashy. With front slit, you can get away with it being slightly off the ground because it's not like a true floor length would cover your toes fully anyway because its open in front. Gorgeous color, easy to wear! Lower cut than I expected and if I owned this, would have the straps altered so it's not so low cut.

Something different and comfy!
Love this one! Lose and flowy up top and definitely fitted at hips. Has zero stretch over hips. The zipper is on the side of the zips and there are snaps-keep this is mind when sizing as I could see wardrobe malfunctions if too small and lots of sitting or dancing. Got this vacation that was canceled from covid but will rent this again when we rebook.

Attention grabbing and tight!
Loved this dress. I'd never buy this or wear out where I live-way too fitted, short and super tight. Our vacation got canceled due to covid but I'll definitely rent this when we can go back. Definitely size up. I'm a 2/4 and the 6 was about right. The 4 fit too but much shorter. I'm 5'8".

Beautiful color!
This was my backup so I didn't end up wearing but I've saved to rent again. The color is gorgeous. The bust area wad a tad loose so would have had to wear a bra or size down. It also had room in the middle so would order the 4. Length on the long was perfect for 3-4 inch heels. A little too simple for the deb ball but could be dressed up with fur, or bold necklace. Would definitely be a comfy and easy dress to wear!

Beautiful color and fit!
Rent this gown! Bold cobalt blue was gorgeous and popped in a sea of black dresses. The fit was perfect-tight but not at all uncomfortable. Material was thick and forgiving-didn't need spanx! I also didn't wear a bra and it was v neck but conservative. I'm 5'8 and got the long length-it's very long! I wore 4 inch heels and the dress still dragged a tad. Would definitely rent this again-maybe next time in the pink!

Beautiful statement jewelry
These were just what I needed for that final touch to a formal gown. They are large, but a great statement piece. They are also heavy by the end of the night, but that wasn't totally unexpected given the size. I would absolutely rent these again.

Be prepared to turn heads. The color, fabric, deep V and pockets made this dress showstopper!
This was the most glamorous and beautiful dress I've ever worn. Any one of the amazing features (shape, fabric, color, cut, pockets) would have made this dress stand out, but when you put them all together, you really end up with a Red Carpet dress. The purple stood out in a sea of black formal gowns and the pockets were so practical to carry lipgloss and my phone. Having my hands in the pockets also allowed for a more natural pose in photos than the awkward "skinny arm." Thanks to other reviews, I ordered a size down which fit perfectly. I also ordered the 8L and not sure if it actually was or not (the tag just said 8) but I wish it had been a few inches longer. I'm 5'8" and wore 3+ inch heels, and the front was just a tad more off the floor than I would have liked. I think it was bunched a little from shipping so I ironed the bottom which helped some and it wasn't too noticeably short. I tried on both dresses and the 8 fit better in the bust because the tack in the front was split. This turned out to be a good thing, because no way could I have worn it otherwise-it would have pulled all night and probably split anyway. I also think this dress is meant to be a deeper V rather than a modest faux wrap. I tried on the 6 which was stitched up mid-chest, and it made the dress too matronly. Since I wore this to a black tie wedding in NYC, I didn't need to be as conservative as I would have been if I wore this for a charity or work event. The deep V was definitely an eye-catching part of this dress and tape and good posture was a must. You can tell from my photos compared to some of the others, I would definitely describe this as revealing. This was my first RTR experience and I will absolutely rent again. I'm not sure about renting this exact dress again, only because it was so distinctive and glamorous, it feels like a once-in-a-lifetime wear.
