Elegant, very flattering. Sequins showed up much more in person.
Gorgeous dress! My husband said it was his favorite RTR yet. The sequins pop a lot more in person than in pictures. I'm a size 2 but the 4 (back up size) fit perfectly. The sequins rub a bit under the arms like I read in other reviews but it didn't bother me. I'm 5"4 and wore 4 in heels and the length was perfect. The zipper stuck a bit at the hip but it wasn't a problem. My favorite detail was the back. There was a nice cut out but I could still wear a bra. Would absolutely rent again.

It has Pockets!!!!
I wore this to a Catholic grammar school annual gala. I ordered the 0R and the 2R because I'm normally a 2 but read that the dress runs large (it does a bit...especially if you don't have much up top). The 0R fit almost perfectly so I didn't even try on the 2R. There was extra room in the chest, and even though the material was thick enough that I didn't have to wear a bra, I wore a stick on bra because I felt like the chest area was baggy otherwise. The zipper WAS a pain but I read that from other reviews so I was ready to wrestle with it. The fabric was beautiful and thick (photographed well too), which helped because the night was cooler than expected. Loved the high-low hemline but it wasn't so drastic that I felt uncomfortable. Biggest plus: IT HAS POCKETS!!! My husband wasn't the biggest fan, he said I was swallowed up in fabric, but I loved it for the occasion. Absolutely recommend this dress!

Super sexy!!!
Oh my goodness I LOVED this jumpsuit! It was the alternate style to what I ended up wearing for my gala and the deciding factor was the chest cut out. I decided it was too sexy for a Catholic charity event but I would absolutely rent this for a girls trip. The lapels were a bit of a problem because they kept folding closed (defeating the peek-a-boo effect of the cut out) so I just folded them in. I definitely would have needed a bigger size because I couldn't zip up the size 0. Even with the fact that it was too small and the lapels were wonky, I still felt amazing in it. I will definitely try to rent this in a bigger size for a different event.

Flattering and elegant
Rented for a gala. It was in good condition when I received it. I am normally a size 2 but in RTR dresses I seem to be a size 0. I wore 3 inch heels (I'm 5'4) and the dress dragged a bit on the floor but didn't interfere with me walking. It was elegant and very flattering. Would absolutely rent it again.

This jumpsuit was amazing from start to finish!
I rented this jumpsuit for a gala. Everything about it was flattering. It took some practice to get in and out of since there are no zippers but the material is stretchy so going to the restroom was not nearly as tricky as I thought it was going to be. I would absolutely rent this again.

Way too much chest exposure for me.
Rented for a formal dinner with clients. The colors were stunning, the fabric was elegant. It was very well-made and extremely flattering, but I felt WAY too exposed up top and I'm not even busty (34B.) I used tape along the neckline but I still had to avoid the compulsion to cover my chest with a dinner napkin. The dress was very long (scraped the ground in 4 in heels and I'm 5'4) but that didn't bother me. I wouldn't rent this again because I just don't feel comfortable with the chest area.

Loved this dress! Comfortable but felt super sexy.
I rented this dress for an out of town wedding. I was not form fitting at all but I knew that from other reviews, so I could eat whatever I wanted and not worry about my tummy. It is very short, which I expected and wasn't a problem for me because I'm only 5'4. Be careful raising your arms up over your head though! I did it one time and totally flashed my SPANX. I got soo many compliments on it, especially regarding the tulip sleeves. It photographed well so long as you can see me from head to toe. The closer up shots sometimes made me look a lot larger than I actually am. Oh and the color was divine. Complimented my (light) skin tone perfectly. Would definitely rent this one again.

Dress made me feel like super sexy. Got tons of compliments.
I ordered this dress and another style for a cocktail event in the city. The other style did not work out. The alternate size of this dress became unexpectedly unavailable so RTR sent me a comparable alternate style which I liked as well, just not as much as this one. The print is loud but totally works and flattering. Can wear a comfy bra which is a huge plus to me. The material was stretchy and thank goodness because I couldn't get the zipper down when I received the dress in the first place. I just threw it over my head like a t shirt and it slipped right on. I was prepared for the neoprene dive suit feel to it thanks to other reviews. Very pleased with it!

Absolutely Stunning Gown!! I just wish they made it in a size smaller than 0 because it ran too big
The gown arrived in pristine condition; it was gorgeous, well-made and when I tried it on, my husband was floored. I had read the reviews prior to ordering it and I read that I ran long and large. I normally wear a 2R so I ordered a 2 and a 0. I am 5"4 and I had on 4 inch heals and the size 0 still pooled around my feet like a blanket and was too loose in the waist. I had read that it was heavy and it definitely is. I wear a 34B and I definitely did NOT have the chest-equipment to keep that bad-boy up, so I would have had to pull on it all night long. If the gown came in a size smaller than 0 and they made it short, I would have swapped it for a smaller size. I recommend this gown for TALL girls with CURVES to hold it up because the gown has a wow factor that is unparalleled. If you fit that profile, then I suggest you give this gown a shot; don't be dissuaded by my review, I'm just trying to give other readers as much info as possible so you can make an informed decision. Best of luck!

It was the perfect dress for the Mardi Gras Ball we attended. I got tons of compliments on it!
I forgot to order the second size and there was no time to send another one, so I had to squeeze into the size 0. It had stretch so it worked perfectly. The dress was well made and fit great. I already have a small bust and it is a bust minimizing dress, so if that worries you, be aware. Photographed beautifully. Not very forgiving in the mid-section so remember your spanx.
