Initially my plan was to wear a Reem Acra gown to a NYE event but they emailed me the day before saying my size was damaged and I could pick any other dress to replace it. I was super upset initially, but they sent me my original dress in a different size and also this gown that I chose. I actually ended up wearing this one even though my first choice fit! So well made, so flattering. I have a 38" bust, 26" waist, 41" hips and it fit me like a glove. There was wiggle room in the waist so if yours is bigger don't fret. I typically try to go for an a-line because of my hip to waist ratio but this one was so flattering! The pleated part is free from the rest so it can spread to allow room for your hips. And it creates a nice split when you walk which I loved! I rarely am able to go braless but because of the support provided by the cross back my boobs were held in place all night, no double sided tape needed. I'd invest in some if you have a smaller bust, though. All in all this dress was a huge hit for me. Be sure you have nude underwear though, in certain lighting the pleated panel is sheer.

Absolutely stunning. Saw this dress on Olivia Wilde at the Oscars years ago and was convinced it would one day be my wedding gown. I had a black tie event to attend on NYE and when I saw this dress was available on RTR I literally squealed. I would say it fits smallish, but it still fit. Took a friend to squeeze my bust into it but we made it. I had the 10R as a backup and genuinely there was not much difference at all in sizing. The 6 was definitely form fitting and tight...especially the sleeves....but I found it to be more flattering because it was so tight. My waist is 26" and it fit it perfectly. My 38" bust was a bit more challenging, but eventually we got the ladies in there. I'm 5'10" and the long length was fine with flats, would've worked with small heels too. I found the regular length to be a tiny bit short on me for my liking. All in all, such a dream gown but was 100% not made for comfort.

First off, let me say the people at RTR went above and beyond with my first RTR experience! I initially rented a Reem Acra gown and much to my dismay I was emailed the day before saying the girl before me had ruined the gown. They gave me 4 hours to respond to an email with my replacement choices but I was at work and didn't check my email so they automatically sent me this dress. I was a bit upset, but when I called in the morning they more than remedied the situation and have truly done more than I could've imagined to ensure I had a gown for this night. I ended up not wearing this particular dress because the fit wasn't ideal, but I figured I'd review it because reviews were super helpful when I was deciding on my ideal rental. The back is stunning. I really didn't like it when I saw the picture, but it is much less bulbous and lays a bit more flat in person. The bust fit, the hips were FAR too tight, and the waist was too loose. For reference, I'm a 34D and my measurements are 38" bust, 26" waist, 41" hips. I genuinely couldn't walk or bend so if you have my hip measurements definitely size up. This wouldn't be great for extreme hourglasses like myself because there is zero stretch. The fabric does remind me a bit of a bridesmaids dress which I wasn't stoked about. You will definitely need double sided tape to keep up the straps. The bust fit great without a bra but without double sided tape you'll be flashing the world. I'm 5 foot 10 and the length was perfect without shoes on. If I would've worn this I would have definitely needed to be in flats.
