Great classic that can be dressed up or down
I rented both the small and medium and ended up with the medium. I'm 5'9 and 135 lbs and found this ran a tad small - both in the torso where it was a bit short and in the fit of the arms. The material is lovely and it's very well made. It does split very low up front but it has a clasp a few inches up that offers the option of a bit more coverage. Highly recommend!

Beautiful Print
I absolutely loved this print! It doesn't wrinkle at all and is so comfortable. I normally wear a small but this ran a tad narrow in the waist/ribs. I ended up going with the medium even though it was a little large. There isn't any support up top so it might be tricky for large chests. I'm 5'9 and this hit right at floor length with flats. Highly recommend!

Flattering Cut
This ran slightly small, but not too bad. I was worried about the pattern but the cut of the dress was so flattering! Very comfortable too.

Weird Chest Area
I absolutely loved the overall cut of this jumpsuit and thought the color was beautiful! However, the chest area was cut so oddly and made my boobs look so oddly shaped. Wearing or not wearing a bra didn't help either. Loved it otherwise so I hated not being able to wear it :(

Chest Padding Not Flattering
The lower part of the dress and the back fit great! The chest is low cut and has a bunch of padding that bunched up - unfortunately it was very unflattering and very obviously padded. Luckily this was a back up dress and I was able to wear another style. I would not have chosen to wear it otherwise.

Stunning color
Absolutely loved this color! The only drawback for me was the fit. I'm pear shaped, so the 4 fit up top but was a little tight on my legs when sitting, but the 6 fit my lower half but was huge up top. I ended up going with the 6 and just holding it up all night. Would still recommend though!

Gorgeous Color
Absolutely loved the color and got lots of compliments! The fabric is almost like spanx and holds you in - bc of that I would say it's true to size or even a little small. Definitely size up for backup. This was the perfect dress for this gala but if you're looking for a dress to dance in it might not be the best choice - you can't raise your arms and the fabric would make it hard to really dance. Loved this dress and would highly recommend!

Tight in arms and chest
As other reviewers stated, there is zero give to this fabric and the arms are VERY tight. It fit perfectly everywhere except the arms, shoulders and chest. Beautiful fabric but unless you have a tiny chest and arms I would pick another dress.

Show Stopper
Could not have loved this dress more! The fabric is thicker and has a lot of stretch, so it holds you in kind of like spanx would. The front was low cut enough to make the hubby happy but not so much that it was inappropriate to wear to a black tie event. I wore 4" heels and the dress just grazed the floor on me.

Unique yet classy
LOVED this outfit! I seriously wish I could have bought it. It was extremely flattering and very comfortable. I'm 5'9 and the length was still great. I would say this ran TTS if not a little large. I normally wear a 6 in pants and can sometimes wear a 4 in dresses and was able to wear the 4 in this, which I did not anticipate. I was worried the cape would add bulk but it draped perfectly. Could not recommend enough!

Rented this for a black tie event as my back up dress after the first one I rented didn't fit me. It is absolutely stunning in person and is very flattering. Unfortunately I was not able to wear it because it arrived with a massive black stain on it :( luckily I had a formal dress in my closet to wear. It is very fitted so I would size up if you're not sure. For what it's worth, this seems to be a popular dress. I saw 3 (yes THREE) other girls at the ball with this exact dress on.

Extremely Comfortable
I rented this for a black tie event but ended up not wearing it. The dress is extremely comfortable with a good amount of stretch, but I have found that sequins aren't so flattering on me in general. They always seem to add bulk. If you're looking for a sequined dress though I would highly recommend this one.

Extremely elegant and very flattering
I ordered the small and medium and ended up going with the medium. I just had a our third baby and didn't want the dress quite as fitted. The material is thick enough to be forgiving but the dress is tight enough to show your curves and be more cocktail appropriate and less work appropriate. Would highly recommend!

Stunning
At 19 weeks pregnant I needed something flowy that didn't look like a sack. I normally wear a 4/6 but I'm currently up 6lbs and ordered an 8R and 8L. The 8 was too big so they overnighted me a 6R which fit perfectly. I would definitely size down for a backup bc this runs large. And even the regular length is LONG. I'm 5'9 and I'm wearing 3 inch heels in this pic with the regular length. The sheer panels look even better in person - stunning dress!

Stunning dress! It's appropriate for a business event bc of the length but the lace definitely dresses it up. Couldn't recommend highly enough!

Gorgeous and flowy
I normally wear a 4, but rented the 6 since I am 17 weeks pregnant with twins and it fit perfectly! Just enough room for the bump without being a huge sack. The material is absolutely beautiful and it was super comfy all evening :)

Gorgeous but runs large
I normally wear a 4, but rented a 6. I am 17 weeks pregnant with twins but have only gained 7 lbs, and since all the reviews stated this ran large I took my chances. RTR was out of the 6L and unfortunately the 6R was too short. I have worn a 6R with flats before, but this one was almost 2 inches off the ground. Surprising it fit my bump just fine, but it went back because it simply wasn't long enough. Great dress though! Just make sure you size down.

Stunning AND comfortable!
I frantically had RTR overnight me this dress after my 1st choice didn't fit. I was reluctant to have them send me this one because it just doesn't look that spectacular online to be honest. But I loved it!! It doesn't look like much on the hanger, but completely transforms when you put it on. The fit was perfect and the dress has just the right about of stretch and ruching to be flattering yet forgiving. It's very fitted, but in such a way that it holds you in while still letting you breathe. It's a very classic dress that is different enough to stand out, but understated enough to let you go all out with jewelry and/or makeup. I wore the 4L and with almost 4 inch heels it barely grazed the ground. Stats for reference: 5'9" 133 lbs, Pants: 6, Dresses: 4, Chest: 34", Ribcage: 28 1/2", Waist: 25.5", Hips: 37"

Wish it had more stretch
This is an absolutely stunning gown! I rented the 4R (6R backup) for a black tie gala, but unfortunately had to have RTR overnight another dress, as this one didn't work out for me. The material doesn't have any stretch so it has to fit your measurements perfectly. This dress fit me great in the bust and hips, but was loose and baggy in the mid-section. Unfortunately due to the lack of stretch in the fabric, there was no way I could make the dress hug my waist the way it should have. Everyone has commented that this dress gives you a great hourglass shape, so I was surprised that it didn't highlight an already hourglass-ish shaped figure. I guess I could have tried the 2, but they didn't have it available. Still a gorgeous dress though! Hated it didn't work for me :( I'm 5'9" and the 4R just barely grazed the ground with flats. My stats for reference: 5'9" 133 lbs, Pants: 6, Dresses: 4, Chest: 34", Ribs (just under boobs): 28 1/2", Waist: 25.5", Hips: 37"

Gorgeous fit
I rented this dress last year for a black tie event and am just now getting a chance to review it. I've worn Nicole Miller before and always love her designs, so I figured this would be a safe bet. The color of the dress is beautiful and the fit is really flattering *if you have the right shape for this dress. The dress doesn't run small per se, but it does hug you all over and is very fitted. i.e. I made sure not to eat too much that night because any tummy pooch will most definitely show in this dress. It would work for pear or hourglass shapes, but I'm not sure that it would be as flattering on an apple shaped body only because of the way it hugs your waist. Beautiful dress though! I would highly recommend it.

This dress was a dream!
I rented this dress for a black tie gala and was a little nervous since my backup size 6 was out. I ordered the 4R and 4L and figured I could wear the shorter version with flats. I've never been into "princess"-type dresses, but this Reem Acra is really a stunner. It flows beautifully and the layers of tulle are to die for! I will say there is a lot more fabric than I was expecting. It was a little difficult to maneuver into the car so I could drive and I had to bunch it up while I sat to keep those sitting next to me from getting their chairs stuck on it (and to keep me from doing the same!). It was definitely worth it though. For me this dress ran true to size, but I marked it as "runs small" because I have a smaller upper body. I don't think this dress would work well for an apple shape, but it would be great for pears or hour glasses. There is a corset inside the dress which holds you in nicely, but this (coupled with the very tight fit) could be problematic for those with who carry their weight in the middle or who have larger chests. I'm 5'9 and wore 4 inch heels and the 4L dress just grazed the ground. With flats the 4R was just above the ground but I definitely could have pulled it off. Stats for reference: 5'9" 133 lbs Pants: 6 Dresses: 4 Chest: 34" Ribs (just under boobs): 28 1/2" Waist: 25.5" Hips: 37"
