Loved the dress but so long I couldn't wear it!
I loved this dress and I really wanted to wear it. However I am 5'2 and even in 5" heels it still pooled on the floor. Thanks again RTR for your amazing customer service! I ended up wearing a Badgely Mishka which always fit me well.

The CAPE is divine and the color!
This dress is one of my all time favorites. The color is a true vibrant red, the lighting made it look a little pink. The dress is stretchy and I did wear spanx, but I could have gone without. A regular bra was also fine with this dress. I wore this to the Metropolitan Opera on a Saturday night and felt gorgeous. Do not hesitate to rent this dress. I may get it again for another occasion! Note - I am 5'3 and the dress hit me just above the knee. 38DDD - plenty of room for the girls. I think this dress looks best on an hourglass as the shape of the dress comes from your body.

Did not wear, fit weird on me
The dress is beautiful. The colored fabric is thick and tapestry like. The darts of the bust though hit me high and was not flattering for me. The back though was beautiful and made my butt look good. Changing bras did not help and I decided to go with a cute dress I had in the closet. The fit was odd for me but I think it would look better on someone taller.

Totally cute but I went with my first choice
This is a missus 16 really not a women's. It fit well and was flattering. I would rent this again for a different event. The skirt looks like it would fly away but it has some weight to it and there are pockets! The lace is soft and the color is vibrant!

Sophisticated and elegant dress.
This dress is beautiful comfortable and soft. It did not hug but skimmed my curves. The 14w is a women's size. If you are a 12 or 14 regular this will be too large and shapeless. This was a great choice for a dinner and a Carnegie hall concert for my moms birthday. I got compliments on the dress and I felt very confident and comfortable. The dress hit me just below the knee but as I was sitting a lot this was preferable for me. I would rent this dress again but it comes in plum and pink and red and blue so I think I might just choose a different color next time!

Love this dress!
I loved this dress but I needed to size up. The 14 zipped but was just too tight on me. I am renting it a size up in blue!

Color and fabric are beautiful. The cut though did not work well for me and I did not end up wearing this dress.

Back up dress - didn't wear
This dress didn't really work for me. I should have known it would be too short but I really wanted it to work. It's a beautiful dress though, the lace is soft and the red is a deep dark red. I might have needed a strapless bra for this as the sleeves are not really substantial enough to cover up bra straps.

Work What You Got Dress

Back up size - did not wear - this is a 16 really not a 16W.
I rented the 14 in this dress and got the 16W as a back up. This is not a 16W - it's a 16 misses. Be aware. I wore the 14 in this but the fit was very similar. If you wear a 16W - size up accordingly. I find the hips narrow in ML, the 14 on me was very snug, but zipped ok with the spanx. However the top was a bit loose. I'm a 36DDD and this one was loose on the top for me too, but I have a very narrow back. The dress though is stunning!

Cute and comfortable!
This was my back up dress to the ML lace with the open back. This dress really grew on me. It was my husband's favorite but I liked the ML better. Luckily this was a wedding where you get to change! This dress let me take off the spanx and the strapless bra and let my hair down. The evening portion was casual so I dressed this down with some high sparkly flip flops and was totally comfy. The lace was a tad bit itchy around the neckline though. The dress was modest on me and cute. It was a little shorter than I would maybe have liked though and when I sat it rode up a lot. But I was so comfortable! The color is an orange pink red not a true red. This one I actually wanted to keep because I could wear it again!

Lace Sierra Dress

Usual Size: 14

Beautiful Color!
The dress is beautiful and the lace is soft, not itchy at all. I had to remember to stand with good posture or the top gaped. I was able to wear my strapless bra but I had to pull it down in the back. Then I had to remember to be careful when sitting down so as not to pull the dress down and expose the bra. The dress was beautiful but not exactly comfortable. Between the spanx and the strapless bra it probably wasn't a dress I could have worn all night. Luckily this was an event where I could be there standing and perching for a few hours and then go home to change. I felt gorgeous in the dress but because of the fiddlyness I don't think I would rent it again. It also was not my best look ever. But I did love the back!

Belle of the ball!
In this dress I felt and looked like an Old Hollywood Glam girl. The 14Rfit me like a glove. I actually could have worn it with lower heels but I paired with some silver strappy 4in heels and it was wonderful. This dress hugged my curves in all the right ways, it even made my butt look good which is not my strongest asset. This dress is comfortable and I wore it all night with no tugging or adjusting at all. I got so many compliments and raves on not just the dress but my whole look. The dress though made everything work. This would work best on curvy ladies but if you have a tummy or some junk in your trunk - as I do - spanks and this dress smooth and flatter amazingly. Thank you so much to Alex from customer service who sent me this dress as a replacement. Originally I rented the Midnight Glamour but it looked weird on me. I called RTR and they sent a second 14 just to make sure there wasn't a problem with that dress. But the style was not for me. Alex and I picked out a replacement dress and it was a toss up between this one and the Party All Night Gown. Alex ended up sending me both which was so wonderful! Thank you RTR for making me feel like a Diva.

AWESOME dress - but did not wear
This dress is so gorgeous on! I didn't end up wearing it as it somehow was completely too long. The dress was marked as a 14 but I think it may have been a 14L? I am 5'3 and with 4' heels it still dragged on the ground. This dress was comfy and felt like it would have stayed up and been beautiful. If I hadn't loved the Palais du Louvre Gown so much I totally would have rocked this dress!

Did not end up wearing.
I thought this one would really do it for me but it looked weird. The 14 fit better than the 16. I'm not sure if it was because of my height or what. I ended up using RTR's AWESOME customer service and they sent me two other gorgeous dresses - the Palais du Louvre Gown and the Party All Night Gown - BOTH of which looked awesome on me and I also reviewed them. My RTR experience was phenomenal even though this particular dress did not do it for me.
