I wore this gown to the Primetime Emmy awards. The show I work on was nominated for an award but I'm not an actress. However, in this dress and in my RTR accessories, I felt like an A-list celebrity. The dress is simple and elegant. It is snug but fits true to size. It will show every curve of your body. My waist is 28" and I'm busty. I am an "apple" or athletic shaped person. I wore a corset with this gown and the gown fit like a glove, but it was comfortable, easy to breath, and easy to move around in. My only issue was i DID have to keep puling it up all night. Though it fit it still somehow snuck down and my corset would peak out on the side. My bad for not wearing a black corset! If you have a black corset you are good to go. The zipper is on the side- making it easier to get in and out of on your own. Originally I planned on wearing the gold Carolina Herrera gown from RTR, but I ordered it too big. Thank goodness for this second look for 25$ or I would have gone to the EMMYs in a sack! This dress is classy and simple though I do admit at first I was worried because the gown is a bit boring for my taste (black dress- same old same old). However the fit was great, its comfortable, and very curve enhancing in all the right places. Ultimately I felt so elegant. I will say I did not get compliments on my gown, but I DID get compliments how I looked and on my accessories - which isn't that better?? So if you want a gown that stands out in a crowd, this may not be it. However if you want a gown that is elegant that acts as a canvas enhancing the person wearing it - this is a perfect gown for you. And honestly, maybe that's the way it should be (don't hide behind your gown kind of thing) :)

I love the shine on this bracelet. Its also easy to mold to the size you need. Its simple and pretty and added just the right touch of glam to my gown. Also its very comfortable.

This necklace is so gorgeous I wish I could buy it from RTR. I was complimented all night. I wore it to the EMMY awards and I can't count how many people literally came up to me just to say "excuse me, but I love your necklace." The only person I didn't speak with was Joan Rivers, and its her loss because this piece is stunning. Don't hesitate. Rent it!

This gown is absolutely stunning. I planned on wearing it to the Emmy's and it would have been the perfect gown for that. HOWEVER....according to the reviews and fit description it ran tight in the bust and other areas so I decided to get it in a size up from my normal size and a size up from THAT as my back up. Especially because I am actually a 34F I wanted to play it safe. This dress is true to size IF you are apple or athletic and generally have a medium sized waist in comparison to your bust. As mentioned, my bust is 34F and I have a 28" waist, 36' hips. I am 5'4" and a 6R would have fit me perfectly. WIth that being said- if you get the correct size the gown itself is so stunning and well worth the listed rental price. It looks exactly like it does in the picture with the model. The fabric is gorgeous and its lighter than you would expect (in weight, not color). Its very sturdy and has a double zipper with an internal corset to help hold it up, which is great. How can you go wrong with a Carolina Herrera? Its classic, elegant, stunning, and will make you feel like a celebrity. On a side note RTR was fabulous re helping me with the sizing issue. I ended up wearing another rental gown that I had ordered for the extra 25$ look. Thank you RTR for being my fairy godmother. :)

Fantastic dress! The fabric is gorgeous and drapes well. I think it runs a size big because normally I am an 8 or 10 and the 8 was a little loose. I wore it anyways and received numerous compliments. The only reason I give four, not five, stars is it took a minute to figure out I needed to attach my bra to the little snaps to keep this dress on! It's such a small little string holding you in while you dance. But its gorgeous! I hope i have a reason to rent it again.

I rented this dress for a business round table meeting. It was perfect. I'm short and the dress was a nice mini-length without needing the him line lifted. It looked classy and professional with a little edge of sexy (because of the length). Its loose in the belly area, so very comfortable (no spanx needed for once) and my larger bust size fit in perfectly. It is a bit hot/itchy. But overall was very comfortable.
