Stunner!

This dress is stunning in person. The lace is very soft and comfortable against the skin. It is so incredibly unique and classy. Unfortunately, I could not wear it as it was too tight in the chest and rib cage. Total measurement around my chest is 39 and I could not get it zipped. If you are looking for something like couture, rent this dress! The photos do not do it justice. I would say best on 5'7"" and above.

These earrings are large and make a statement! I wore them with the Badgley Mischka Cobalt sweetheart gown and it was a stunning combination. They are very large but not heavy. They did not hurt my ears at all throughout the entire night, which was about 8 hours!

Raising money for a great cause!

Dress was beautiful, and a stunning cobalt blue color! Stands out in a sea of black formal gowns. I am 5 foot 8 and 1/2 inches and wore 4 inch heels in the long, the length was perfect. I have a large chest and the dress had boning in the Torso which allows you to go braless. Bonus! However the dress I had, the boning had poked through the fabric and was digging into me all night. Hopefully this has been fixed. Overall, a beautiful gown that is classy and fits curvy women nicely. If I were prone to wear the same gown twice, I would wear this again. But that's why I use RTR! As always they were fabulous. PS. I wore this dress with the Oscar de la Renta asymmetrical Crystal earrings, they were stunning! I received many compliments throughout the night. I attached photos of both, because I rely solely on photos and reviews from real women when renting from RTR and always have great results.

Stunning!

This dress is even more beautiful in person! Emerald green and dark grey/black sequins...stunning! Not overly long...if you are over 5'7 and want to wear heels, go with Long. A little stretch for comfort. Sequins were not bothersome at all. I felt amazing in this dress!

Not a good fit!

As much as I loved how regal this dress feels, it just didn't fit well. The bust area didn't seem to lay right. It ran quite big in the hips and legs. Not overly long either.

I have rented this dress twice and have yet to wear it. It fits fantastic, pay close attention to sizing as they are European vs US. I am 38 D and I feel the cut, although revealing, is still appropriate. I may still rent it again in hopes of wearing it one if these times!!

New Years Bling!

Dress works well for a large chest. Model doesn't do it justice😉 This is a classy and classic sequin gown. A little stretch makes it comfortable. It is not too heavy nor hot. I will say that by the end of the night I was ready to get it off as the sequins were rubbing under my arms. All in all, many compliments and perfect for the occasion. Ps...i am 5'8 and wore 4 inch heels. Long was perfect!

Unique!

This dress is very stunning and unique! Unfortunately, I was not able to wear it . I followed all of the reviews and they are all very accurate. Unfortunately, it was just a bit too tight in the bust area. This is not a new occurrence for me, it is not really the dress. Definitely not as long as some gowns even in the Long. I was only able to wear a 1-2" heel, so something to keep in mind if you are over 5'8".

Flirty and Fun!

This dress would not be something I would normally choose for myself, but I wanted to try something different for my 48th Birthday. The dress fit great and I felt fun and flirty, while still age appropriate for a night at the theatre to see "Kinky Boots"! The dress was thick like scuba gear, but not too hot. I wore it in the middle of June and was perfectly comfortable. I have a large chest and felt the cut looked nice and didn't make me look too boob-a-luscious!! I did add my own black belt that I felt made it look just a little bit better in the waist. Overall, I loved it and got lots of compliments from friends (and strangers) =)

Stylist Pick...great choice!

This dress was sent to me after some of my dresses (first & second choice) were not able to ship in the sizes I requested. This dress was chosen by the stylist after I asked her to go ahead and choose some alternates and send to me. She sent this dress along with jewelry to go with it! (as always, amazing Customer Service). Unfortunately, as with most dresses, the 10 was tight in the bust/ribs (38D). I loved the way it looked, so they overnighted the 12, unfortunately the 12L was not available and it was too short(.5'9). I am definitely going to put this dress in my favorites, to consider for my next event. I would not have picked it based on the photos, but it is Incredibly Flattering on and really shows off curves in a good way. Sexy and Classy. Ps. I ended up wearing the ML "Right on Key" dress. Check it out....it was absolutely stunning.

Stunning!!!

Stunning was the most common word for my dress, from both med and women! I felt great in this dress all night! Now, for the details...I ordered several sizes and ended up wearing the 12L due to the bust and ribcage area. I am 5'9, 148# and approx. 38D (depending on who you ask, if it were up to Victoria's Secret, they would call me DD!). The Long was a must with 3 inch heels. The back is low (but not too low for those that are concerned about the "back fat" like I was=), undergarments are difficult, but they are not necessary in this dress. The top has boning so a bra is not needed. The material is very heavy (almost drapery-like), but even with the "bustle" it does not feel too heavy or uncomfortable. This was my first pick. There were issues with sizes not coming back in time to ship to me and my second choice dress was ultimately not available to ship, so there was a lot of scurrying days before my event. Ultimately, I told the stylist to just choose dresses based on my measurements and send because I was super busy with event details. She sent me several dresses as well as jewelry to go with!! The second dress she sent was amazing, but did not fit. As always, the customer service was beyond spectacular and I knew RTR had my back! This dress...is truly beautiful and different from what anyone else will be wearing at your event.

Lovely and flattering.

As others have mentioned, the slip and the dress are separate. The slip is nice, like a body shaper. However, it has a zipper up the side and the zipper tends to bulge just under the breast area and makes the dress bulge out. If you have a large bust, the bra area of the slip is quite small. The dress itself is lovely. Again, if you have a large bust, you need to pull it down so the seam area rests under the bust and not across it. This works, but does make you have a fair amount of cleavage. Unfortunately, I did not wear the dress due to overall fit and a slight rip in the bust area. As usual, the RTR team was amazing and helpful when I called on my return.

Cystic Fibrosis Charity Gala...Felt great speaking on stage in this dress in front of 500+ people!

First, this dress is beautiful and extremely well made! If you have large breasts, you will want to order up a size due to the way the top and arms fit. Don't worry, this will not make the rest of the dress too large as it is very stretchy. However, the top has a built in bra that does not stretch as much. I am 5'8 1/2", 150# and 38D, I ordered the 10L and ended up having to call for emergency delivery of 12XL as the 10 top was too tight in breasts and arms and Long was just a bit too short with 4 1/2" heels. With that said...if you have bumps and lumps you want to hide a bit, THIS is the dress for you! The material is stretchy, so it gives you "hold", also, the ruching runs all the way thru the hips and hides a multitude of sins and lines. I did wear spanx, although, neither a bra nor spanx are necessary with this. I had compliments all night from women and men. I felt great in this dress, it was very comfortable! It is very classy and sexy without being inappropriate. As always, RTR was amazing with their customer service! Even with their phone lines down, the rep was on chat with me immediately and found replacement for me and shipped next day air to my hotel! The most spectacular customer service I have ever experienced!

These are big, bold and beautiful! Can't wait to find a reason to rent the emerald ones! They are clip on, so by the end of the night, my ears hurt a bit because I am not used to clips. Other than that, for as large as they are , the didn't hurt as much as expected.

RTR was wonderful to work with and the Reps are great. There was a miscommunication on my earrings and they overnighted them without charge. It is so easy to put the item in the postage envelope and drop in a mailbox after the event!

This dress is even better in person! The color is a beautiful deep red (not too orange or pink). I relied very heavy on reviews for fit, so I hope this helps. I am 5'8, 127#, 36D..I am "thin" but ...I am also 45 years old! This dress pulls everything in tight that was much tighter in my 20s and 30s=) It was pretty "boob-a-licious" so something to keep in mind if you have a larger chest and don't want to be too revealing. However, it is an extremely classy dress and the length is very nice if you are trying to stay age appropriate. I received a ton of compliments and felt awesome in it! Worn with regular undergarments. (a lower back bra would be helpful, my boyfriend had to keep an eye on my back strap throughout the eve and tuck it down). Nude shoes and I rented the Kenneth Jay Lane Ruby Drop Earrings...Spectacular!
