Made me feel stunning for my 21st!
This is a late review, but I absolutely LOVED this dress. I wore it for dinner & drinks at a rooftop bar for my 21st birthday. The color is amazing, and the length was great even though I'm on the shorter side. The dress definitely runs small; I'm usually a 2, but if youre curvier like myself there is very littlw stretch. I also didnt wear a bra for that reason; even an adhesive one would be too bulky. But overall amazing dress, great quality fabric.

I felt stunning
This dress is incrediblyyy sexy and classy! The fabric feels wonderful. However, if you have curves, make sure you order up. Mine was SUPER tight in the butt area so I had to wear Spanx for pictures. Other than that, the dress was super comfy to wear. One other minor issue was that because I wore spanx, the lining bunched up when I walked, so the hem got weird and I had to fix it before pictures. Also, I would not recommend wearing any necklaces, bracelets rings with #D details because the dress catches very easily. Overall, I highly recommend this dress for a formal event.

Stunningly radiant, SUPER comfortable!
This dress was absolutely gorgeous in the way it moved and felt on the body. It was also incredibly flattering- the rose gold color illuminated my skin wonderfully. It's a slinky, sexier dress but the sequins make it fun! I didn't end up wearing this because the back was too low for my prom. With my 4.5 inch heels, the dress was the perfect length. RTR continues to amaze!!

Cool design, fit could be better
I rented this dress as my backup for prom, and I'm really glad my other dress fit. The sides and back of this came down wayyy lower than I thought they would. The dress fit my body well, but in order to wear this I would've had to get a stick on bra and a different length. The dress was very awkwardly short, and barely hit the floor for me (and I'm short!!). I don't know if taller people would be able to wear this if the regular is so short on shorter people like me. I loved this dress in theory, but it wasn't suitable for my event.

Stunning dress, super comfortable
This dress was absolutely perfect for my prom and was exactly what I expected it to be. The color is gorgeous- in photos it tends to photograph as a royal blue, but it's definitely much more purple in person. The jersey was extremely flattering and comfy to wear, and the back was beautiful. For cons: The zipper on this dress was TERRIBLE. That's really what brought it down to 4 stars. The fabric around the zipper is thick, so they should've made the zipper more industrious. Also, the end of the zipper stuck out under the top layer of the dress until I taped it down. The XS fit me better in the waist, but was too tight across the chest, so if you are bustier you might want to size up for a better fit. I managed to wear a regular bra with this dress, but sometimes it peeked out on the sides during photos, so I would recommend fashion tape. Overall, I was super happy with this dress, and was very sad to send it back. Thank you again RTR!
