Glove fit

Nice option. Nice fabric, forgiving, slight stretch, skipped a bra. I’m 5’9” so I ordered the king. I had 3” heals on and felt the length was just as it should be. Didn’t love the spaghetti strap ties but it wasn’t a deal breaker. I wore my true to size, 4L. I’d rent it again.

Compliments all night long

This dress runs true to size with a comfortable fit. It was an easy dress to wear, no fussing at all. I wore it with a strapless bra. The dress is lined. It came slightly past my knees and was perfect for the conservative dinner event I attended. I rarely wear black so I loved a nice navy option. Another successful rental!

Great dress

I loved this dress - the color was great for Fall and the length was to my knee (I'm 5'9"), which I loved for the formal and conservative fundraiser we attended. I'm generally a size 4; I wore the small. It fit but was quite fitted and there is NO give or stretch in this dress so don't expect to walk very fast (since hits at the knees) or be able to use the bathroom on your own. Haha! I couldn't unzip by myself and couldn't lift it up since so tight, so... go with a friend to help you! Definitely go up a size for backup (and probably for sure if you have curves and/or boobs). I wore a strapless bra. Great dress. Many compliments.

Better than just a LBD

I am 5'9", wore 3" heels and the dress just barely swept the floor. You can wear a strapless bra but I opted for a backless bra. I felt the 4L fit fine but wished I had sized down to the 2L to make it a little more fitted (if curvy, I'd stick with a size up). I felt the high front was nicely offset by the partially exposed back, fun/stylish zipper and long slit. The zipper is silver so if you don't want to mix metals/jewelry, keep that in mind. I had compliments from people I didn't know.

Awesome fit

I wore this to a fundraiser dinner and loved it. I don't wear black very often and loved the navy color. It fit snugly but was not restrictive and I wore a regular bra. Very nice quality and material, it has almost a slight crocheted vibe going on, giving it a very slight texture. The cut outs are tasteful Loy doneI had compliments from friends and strangers!

Great Fall dress

I wore this to an outdoor fundraising event dinner. I'm 5' 9", 135 pounds, normally a size 4. While the 6 was slightly more comfortable for me, it gaped too much in the back neckline. I tried it on with a regular bra but kept fussing with the straps becoming exposed so I wore a strapless bra. Flattering, quality dress that has some interest. I highly recommend ordering your usual size and one up as back up, just as recommended by RTR.

Classy dress

I wore this dress to a wedding reception. It is a pretty, classy dress with a few details that keep it from being boring, including a slit in the back. It's very form fitting and I'd say runs small. I am 5'9" and the dress fell just below my knees. I'm typically a size 4 in dresses but I could have used a 6. While I was able to wear the 4, it was a bit of a task to walk up stairs or even sit at times. There were no prior reviews on this dress (since it's new) so I didn't have a lot to go on. If you need to be able to move more freely throughout the evening, I recommend going up a size. I wore a regular bra. It is not a lined dress but the fabric is very nice, has some give (not a lot!) and presented very nicely. I had a ton of compliments. I love that it's navy versus typical black - I wore metallic pumps to jazz it up a little. This is a dress that I'd love to own and would wear again!

Pretty bag

This is a pretty clutch that's nicely made - it looks classy with about anything but it's quite small. It wouldn't stay shut with my iPhone 6, so beware. That aside, it got several compliments.

Another great RTR experience

I'm normally a size 4 but this dress was a snug fit so I'm glad I had the 6, which fit perfectly. The long length was perfect for me with heels - fell just above the ground in the front with my 3" heels while the ack just swept the floor. I wore it to a conservative black tie event and felt it looked great!!

Love this dress!

What a fun spin on a little black dress! The size 4 was a perfect fit for me - form-fitting, flattering, comfortable. I could have easily worn the size 6 if I wanted it to be slightly less form-fitting and it would have still looked very nice. The dresses were clean and in great shape; the clutch was nicely packaged. I had a snag with my delivery being delayed due to unforeseen weather conditions and RTR saved my day...and unlimitedly my event! Awesome, awesome customer service! This was my first RTR experience and will not be my last - I already have a dress reserved for an event in a few weeks. Kudos and thanks to RTR!
