Didn't up wearing but SO COMFORTABLE

I didn't end up wearing this but I want to see if it ever is back in stock in smaller sizes because it was the most comfortable dress ever. Love this designer! So flattering and comfortable.

I keep trying to wear this dress!

The zipper sucks and it runs small, but the dress is stunning. Did not end up wearing because I was afraid I wouldn't be able to get it to zip day of, as my rib cage/bust is my difficult area. For reference I am currently 5'1", 123 lbs.

Beautiful Dress

Fit well, was actually a 10 and easy to zip since I struggle with the rib cage/bust area usually. I felt that the arms were just a little lower hanging than I like, so I didn't end up wearing it, I felt like I'd be annoyed with them (I have short arms). Beautiful color and my boyfriend loved how it looked, though!

Long, even in petite

In something without a zipper I can usually pull off a 6/8 (with zippers more like 8/10 due to my rib cage/bust area) this dress I tried in a 44P and the color is amazing and it's so cute but it was just a bit too big, didn't look right. Also was really long even in the petite, I'm 5'1", currently 123 lbs for reference. May rent again in a smaller size!

Stunning and COMFORTABLE

This dress is beautiful and super flattering on. It holds its shape well without being stiff or too tight. I did end up wearing spanx because I felt like eating and drinking a ton and new I could comfortably in this. I usually wear a 6/8 in things without zippers and this was a bit big in the 6, so I went with the 4 which looked great. I wore about 3-4 inch heels and at 5'1" this made it a perfect floor grazing height. Highly recommend this one!

Comfortable, Flattering, and Easy!

I wore this for a black tie optional wedding and was SO happy with it. I'm currently about 127lbs and 5'1" and usually a side 6-8. What I really loved about this dress is there is no zipper - sometimes have issues with dresses that zip in the midsection as I have a large ribcage and bust, so this not zipping was great. It also wasn't too long, I wore 4 inch heels. With the style of the dress I was able to eat and drink comfortably all night. I tried on a TON of black long dresses and this one was by far the winner. I did wear spanx under it because I'm self conscious and the ones I wore were a full tube dress with built in bra and that worked fine and was well hidden.

AMAZING DRESS! Super Flattering and Comfortable

I rented this dress for a "vintage encouraged" cocktail attire wedding and it was PERFECT! Received tons of compliments on it all night. It was a tiny bit long on my 5'1'' height, but only the lace part, so the actual length of the dress wasn't too long, and it was great for a wedding to not have it be TOO short. The lace on the shoulders also covered the area of the top of my arms that I consider a problem area that I don't like, so that was perfect. It was a bit tighter in the bust than throughout since I have a larger bust, but it worked fine. After reading the reviews I tried the medium and the small and the medium was a little big throughout, but also had WAY too much room in the lace at the top and looked terrible in the back. The small was slightly tighter in the chest, but looked WAY better overall. I think many of the reviews I read suggested sizing down if you weren't sure, and I would have to say I agree with that. LOVE this dress and wish I could've kept it - probably also going to rent it in the blue color sometime, and perhaps try the similar smaller strapped style as well (someone at the wedding was also wearing that one from RTR as well and she looked great!!).

Didn't end up wearing

At only 5'1'', this dress unfortunately was just a bit too much material for my frame. I short-ish arms in comparison to my height, so this could be the issue (my arm-span is about 1-2 inches shorter than my height), and relatively skinny arms, so this sorta made me look like I had wings and even buttoned, the sleeve fell down to my wrist then hung below. It's a cool print, but would probably look better on someone a lot taller!

Couldn't quite zip it!

I'm not sure why, but I couldn't quite zip this dress over my ribcage, and I'm usually a size 6. Perhaps just because I'm shorter waisted and have a larger bust. Ended up not wearing it, but it's a really fun print!!

Eye catching and flattering!

Rented this for a wedding and received lots of compliments! It is form fitting but had good stretch to it, I wore it with spanx but it also acted like a second spank (I don't think thats the singular form of spanx, but that's how i'd say it aloud!). A bit long on my 5'1'' height, but it looked great! The medium was too big, but was also a bit stretched from a previous wearer.

A bit long for short girls!

Unfortunately, at only 5'1'', this dress was very long on me, at/below my knees. It is a gorgeous print and I was sad to not be able to wear it, I tried blousing it over the belt but that didn't help.

Wore this with the Herve Leger Berry Ombre dress. Was a great accessory with it! Simple yet very pretty and eye catching, without taking away from the dress. Love the textures.

Fun dress for Vegas!

This dress does run a bit large, I am usually a 6 and wore the 2 in it. The 4 looked a bit like a trash bag. It's a bit blacker than I expected from the main photo, I thought the sequins might have a bit of a metallic look. It's really fun and cute and short (which was fine for me as I'm 5'1'') but as other reviewers have noted, it's a little tricky to pee in, as you have to take it entirely off from the top (climbing into it is interesting as well). It also is a little itchy, but I have sensitive skin and really wasn't too bothered by it. GREAT dress for a night out and was PERFECT for Vegas! Sorry my photos aren't better quality!

Versatile and comfortable, but a little big.

I'm usually a size 6 in dresses and wore this in the XS. I am not sure if the one I got was a bit stretched around the bottom band, it seemed like it might have been worn in a bit, but it was a little loose fitting, I wouldve preferred it a little tighter. I don't have a butt at all, though, so that could have been part of the problem. Overall it was a very fun dress to wear, very comfortable and eye catching and super easy for a night out in Vegas. I highly recommend this dress, and may rent it in the coral color sometime, too!

Not huge, but a nice amount of sparkle.

Beautiful piece! I wanted it to be just a little bit bigger (like 1inch wide, for some reason wasn't expecting it to be 3/4" even though it says it is). In excellent shape and I ended up wearing as an accessory to both dresses I rented for Vegas, because I really liked it!

The colors of this dress are much more vibrant and darker in person - it is gorgeous! Incredibly comfortable and flattering. The material is light and flowy and gorgeous. I have a moderately large bust and had to adjust it now and then at the top but it fit really well. Highly recommend this dress!!!

The material and print of this dress are stunning and the fit is true to size, but though I'm short I was misled by "mini" length and wish that in the product details there had been measurements like i've seen for others. At 5'1'', it was almost at my knees! I still wore it out and liked it a lot, but it wasn't what I was expecting for the occassion.

LOVED this dress! I wore it to a winter wedding. I am short, 5'1'', so it was a good short length on me. The more fitted black inner shell didnt didnt lay as well on top as I would like it to (I am a 34C), but I have found in other fitted Robert Rodriguez dresses as well that that tends to be the case, that they are a little better for smaller/medium busts. The color is amazing, very flattering and comfortable shape, I received so many compliments on it. VERY sad to have to return it, highly recommend it!
