Perfect balance of sophisticated and sexy.
I loved this dress! I wore it for my cousins Rehearsal dinner in Nashville. My post on Instagram won me a free dress rental! There are literally no cons to this dress. It fits true to size, and the fabric is a nice cotton. There is only a small amount of stretch, but it does give a little. Was able to wear a regular bra with it as well! The cutout shows just enough skin to make it a little sexy, but sophisticated enough to wear to a wedding or work function.

Continued receiving compliments months after the event!
This dress fit amazing, and the fabric feels so luxurious. I felt like I was floating the whole time I wore it. I'm 5'8" and am not afraid to wear heels so I rented the 8L. It was the perfect length in front for pictures, but I did have to keep picking up the tail to make sure people didn't step on it on the dance floor. It's worth the hassle though! I received so many compliments, even AFTER the event people were still asking me about the dress. I'm a little on the large side with 34D breast size, but I still felt comfortable enough not to wear any kind of bra.

A bit on the heavy side...
I ordered this as my backup for a wedding, so it was a size larger than I usually wear. I'm 5'8" and order the long, BUT I probably could have gotten away with the regular length, even in decently high heels, this was SUPER long. The fabric was very heavy. I'm very happy my other dress fit because this didn't feel as elegant or sophisticated for a black tie wedding. I would recommend this for a low key event, nothing very formal.

Structured yet comfortable!
I ordered this dress for a wedding, but it sadly didn't make it in time for the event due to the polar vortex. RTR was fabulous with trying to get it to me, it was actually waiting at the door when we got back from the wedding, so JUST missed it. When I got home I tried it on and immediately wanted to go out somewhere. It felt sophisticated yet flirty, it fit well, and hid my small holiday pouch. The only thing that may have gotten annoying had I worn it to the wedding were the sleeves. They were a little tight of me, and hard to move.

Perfect for an afternoon tea-themed bridal shower! Comfortable, cool, and easy to accessorize!
This dress was perfect for a tea party-themed bridal shower. The colors are bright, and the fabric is forgiving. I ordered both the 8 and the 10 and both fit. I wore the 8 because it was a tad bit tighter and showed my shape more. It was very comfortable and I could wear black heels with it. Somebody had an earlier review saying it looked more brown than black, which had me worried, but this was NOT the case for the dresses I received. Would definitely recommend for a day event.

Was prefect for a roaring 20's theme NYE!
The fit was perfect, a tad snug. I think this dress is meant to be worn with a ton of cleavage, which is hard for me to achieve. But it still looked nice. When looking at the dress closely, you can see some small snags, but you have to look pretty closely. If you are someone with a little bit of a tummy, this dress may be difficult for you to wear. The band around the waist is probably the tightest part, for me it worked well though. Paired with pearls and fur, this dress is perfect for any 1920s theme! Even the straight guys at the party asked me where I got it!

This dress was cute and perfect for Vegas, but ran very small.
Even for Vegas this dress was a little too short and tight for my liking. I would definitely suggest sizing up and be prepared to wear tights with it.

Great for a professional event!
Hi was feeling a little bloated and self conscious before I put on this dress, but once I had it on—I felt great! The fabric is very forgiving and feels good. It fits very true to size and the length is appropriate for professional events, even for someone taller.

Even at my heaviest, the dress made me feel great! I can't wait to rent my next dress!
The dress fit like a glove. I was so comfortable and didn't have to wear a bra. The only thing is it was a little short due to me being a little taller. I loved it! I was heavier at this time than I am now. And usually wore size 10 or 12 dresses. I believe this one was a 10 that ended up working.
