Love the design of this gown and tried in a 20WL and 22WR. I really needed a 22WL so ultimately went with another option. However, I loved this gown and will rent it again in the 22WL for an upcoming winter gala. It was quite warm so I likely would have been too hot in it at the end-of-summer gala I attended. The bodice does show a lot of cleavage so make sure you have a good plunge bra and are comfortable with showing off your assets. The peplum and ruffle are very flattering on the body.

I wore this for a Red Line Gala supporting a benevolence fund for firefighters and their families. I am 5'9" and wore 3" heels, the dress length was perfect! The design is conservative but fun and flattered my figure beautifully. The right under garments are everything, I wore a strapless bra from Torrid and Maidenform shaper shorts. All in all, this dress was very comfortable and not too warm for a crowded ballroom event. Highly recommend this gown and will rent again!

I wore this for a fundraising gala and awards dinner for our local 2SLGBTIA+ Center. The dress on my was too low cut (it showed my bra and way too much cleavage) so I added a black wrap top in a similar fabric to this dress' bodice and it worked perfectly to give me the coverage I needed. I got a lot of compliments on my "skirt" and the pockets were a hit. I paired this dress with leopard heels and a matching clutch to punch up the playfulness of the outfit for this event.

Love the colors and sparkle of this dress. The column style with a wrap top is flattering for a curvy figure but the fabric was pretty unforgiving even with high powered shapewear. If you are larger than an E/F cup and conscientious of a visible belly line/fupa this is not the dress for you. The crossover top cannot be pinned closed because of the way the sequin fabric floats over the lining.

I rented this for a "black tie optional" charity fundraising event. At 5'9" the long length worked well for me and my 3" heels. I added a beaded black chiffon shawl with it. I wear a 40G bra and went with the 22L after reading reviews. There's no stretch in the chiffon. I tried a 20R in this dress and it was way too small. I typically wear an 18/20 off the rack. The dress has two under linings which makes it a bit warm. The gathered waistline is asymmetrical which kind of looked off balance to me but ti worked fine for my event.

This was sent as my back up design in case ng first choice didn't work out. I tried it in a 20W and was true to size. I'm 5'9" so it was a few inches above the knee on me. I was attending a black tie, formal event so needed something at least midi length. I wish it were just a tad longer. The bust fit generously which is surprising since I wear a 40G. The cold shoulder design is very flattering. The mock neck was a little big for me but it didn't make the dress problematic. The embroidery is gorgeous. I am sure I will find an occasion for which to rent this beautiful dress again.

I wore this for a black-tie gala fundraiser event with a Rio Carnivale theme. I wanted something that was not full length but fancy enough to work next to my hubby in a black tie tuxedo. This fit the bill perfectly -- sexy but classy, flirty and fun, I paired it with multicolored fringe earrings and a leopard print clutch and nude, strappy evening heels. We danced for hours and the dress didn't budge. It's true to size (I wore the 20W) and it fit well. The lace is thick and it's lined in a smooth silklike satin. There is some side boning in the bodice. After Reading reviews about the tricky zipper I decided just to slip it over my head and that worked just fine. I only needed my trusty strapless bra and a pair of black smoothing shapewear shorts underneath. At 5'9" the lined portion of the dress hit me at mid thigh so the black undergarment kept me from worrying about showing too much as I twirled on the dance floor. For shorter women I think the lined portion hits closer to the knee. This was my first RTR experience, I will be back for more!
