Very pretty
The dress is very pretty, I got a ton of compliments. It is comfortable but the lining can ride up a times. The top was too large as others commented on. I had trouble with bra straps showing even in a racer back bra. Ended up in a cross back and pinning the dress under the arm to bring in the excess fabric. A strapless bra might have been best. Really enjoyed the dress.

Classy dress just a bit tight
I rented this for an anniversary dinner with my husband. Wanted something classy but not over the top and this fit the bill and the color was fantastic. It was a great length, I am 5’4” and it hit right at the knee, the slit made it a bit sexier but not too revealing. I went without a bra and it was perfect, just used a little tape to keep things in place. I typically wear a 6 but this was tight through the ribs, I was able to wear it but wished it was a bit looser (the 8 was unavailable). So if you are large chested or have a higher back area you may want to size up.

Interesting but a bit big
Beautiful fabric, runs a bit large. The back is a different color which is a cute detail. It was fall when I rented so I needed a sweater which hid the back so may be a better warm weather rental.

Well made but too much ruffles
Nice thick fabric, fit well. There were just too many ruffles for me but I do think it was flattering.

Cute top
Well made and flattering. It is a bit short so no tucking needed, hit right at the top of my pants. Very nice fabric.

Great detail
This fit true to size but does need a cami due to the lace up front. It is very cute with lots of details. I wore it to work, it was comfortable and work appropriate

Fit great and tons of compliments
The dress arrived with tags on (both sizes) so I was excited it was brand new. I typically wear a 6 and it fit perfectly- really hugs your curves but the long sleeves help keep it really elegant. The 8 also fit well just a little less snug and a bit longer. I opted for the 6 at my husband's urging :) You can wear normal undergarments and it is very comfortable - I didn't find it scratchy at all. I got a ton of compliments on it! I wore some pretty drop earrings and rented a gold bangle. I wore my own delicate necklace which worked well but it really didn't need much. The length was perfect- I am 5'4" and it hit below my fingers and above the knee which was great for me. Overall great dress!

Classic Dress
I rented this for a formal work dinner with my husband and wanted something a bit conservative but not the typical black dress. It fit the bill. I got both a 6 and an 8 but ended up wearing the 8 since the bust was a bit tight in the 6. The 6 did fit but the 8 was a bit more flattering in the bust. The fabric is a bit heavy which I liked since there was no cling factor. Overall it was a good option for a work dinner. It was not very fancy so I would not have chosen it for a more cocktail type event. Again using RTR was great- dress arrived early and both were in good condition.

Great dress for black tie
I got this as a back up dress and it was a great dress for my black tie gala event. I wanted to do a long dress for the event but I was worried about the dress being too long but this was perfect. I am 5'4" and it just skimmed the ground in 2 inch heels which was perfect for me (regular length) but if you want to wear taller heals take note. The dress fit true to size but the torso was a bit long for me but it ended up still working well and nobody noticed. You need to wear a low back bra because the back V is pretty deep. Overall beautiful dress, well made and in great condition. Got lots of compliments on the dress and didn't see anyone else in it at the event which was a good thing! The RTR experience was great - I am a first timer and will not hesitate to rent again!

Perfect clutch
The clutch was perfect sized for a small scarf, iPhone, lipstick, ID, and cash. It had a nice gold chain but I used it as a clutch all night and it worked well. It was a nice pop of bling but still understated.

Showstoppers!
These earrings are great with a black dress to add some sparkle. I got them to match both dress options and they looked great with both. They arrived in good shape and where not too heavy to wear all night. Great accessory to top off a great formal look. I wore them with my hair down and felt they still really shined.

Very cute dress
I didn't end up wearing it as I felt the long dress I got was a bit more formal but this was super cute and would have been formal enough for the black tie event I was attending. The dress fit true to size but was a tad tight through the chest (32D) but was still comfortable enough to wear. Loved the pockets and belt. This would be a great choice. The dress was also in great condition. The gala event I attending had 5000 people and I didn't see one person in the dress or anything similar so if you are looking for something unique this would be a good option.
