Beautiful dress, bad slip
Everything about this dress is excellent, except for the slip underneath. It was too big for the dress. (see photo) The front part can easily be pinned up, but the back part looks really strange, it is not hidden at all and needs a lots of pins.

Bachlorette Success!
I'm 5'5", 34A...this dress fit perfectly with a great pair of Spanx underneath! I wore a size 1. I'm normally a 2 in dresses. I used fashion tape on inside the left chest area to hold down the hanger strap on the inside. There's no stretch and it's VERY short on the left leg. The Asymmetric detail and the line pattern on the dress are beautiful. It's very unique and fun, and will for sure turn heads. Highly recommend!!!

I wore this for an outdoor summer wedding. The dress is light and the embroidery on this dress is beautiful. The off the shoulder sleeves give it a fun flirty feel to it. I didn't end up clasping the collar since it was a little tight against my neck. This dress is True to Size, there is no stretch to the fabric. This dress is perfect for a summer wedding, not so much for the winter due to the lightness of the fabric. .

Graduation to Winery
Perfect fit and True to size! I am 120lbs and 34A, this dress fit perfectly. The material is not too heavy, but heavy enough to hide under garment lines. I'm a little short (5'4) so it fell under my knees and was a little longer than I wanted. This is a killer dress, red hot in every way. Highly recommend it!

Sister of the Groom
I wore this to my brother's vineyard wedding in the fall. The color works beautifully with the fall colors of Virginia. The dress is a stand out! With 4 inch heels, the length was perfect. I wore the 2R. The dress is a little thick. It's perfect for a fall wedding but I probably would say it's too hot for summer. The top was too big for me so I had to close the dress with a safety pin. (34A). Aside from that, it really accentuates your curves and it fits beautifully.

Fall Rehearsal Dinner
I wore this to a vineyard wedding rehearsal on a beautiful fall Virginia day. The fabric is thick enough where you will be warm and not need a jacket (when the sun is up). The color and fit of the dress are beautiful and the roushing around the stomach area hides those little self conscious spots. I am normally a size 0-2, 120lbs and 34A. This dress was perfect. My back up size was a 4 and that was way too big. I could have opted for a 0, but that may have been a little too tight to be around family. Perfect dress for a perfect day!

Compliments all night!
I wore this to the America Needs You benefit gala at Cipriani. I'm 5' 4" and 120 lbs and with 4 inch heels, this dress was perfect. I paired it with long dangly earrings. The beading of the dress stands out so you don't have to accessorize much. This dress is perfect for a fall or winter event, as the under lining of the dress is slightly heavy and will keep you warm.

With a little tape and heels, this dress worked!
I wore this dress to an outdoor wedding in Santa Cruz, CA. I am 5' 4" and wore the XS, and with 4 inch heels, the dress length was perfect. Without heels, the dress is going to be mopping the floor. As previously mentioned in the other reviews, the top is a little big on the sides however, with a little bit of fashion tape, the problem was solved. The back of the dress is beautiful, as is the print. It could have fit a little better in the top, but for such a beautiful print, I had to make it work, and I think I did!

Fun Flirty and Girly
I wore this dress to my friend's baby shower in the winter. It got it in a 0 and a 2 and went with the 0. It's kind of big around the waist, I wish it was a little tighter. The fabric is thick so I would imagine if you wore this in the summer, it'd be quite hot; it's perfect for a winter event! I love the flare waist and it makes the dress so fun, cute and girly! It makes me feel like I am 12, twirling around in big dresses all over again!

Purple Perfection
True to size dress. I wore this to a bridal shower in the winter. Paired it with some statement pearls and nude colored tights and stilettos. For a little tighter fit, I would have gone with the 0, but I went with the 2 for some space to move around. The layer under neath the lace needs to be pinned up a tiny bit, since when you sit down you can see it peeking past the lace. This dress is beautiful. It was perfect. Another great rental. :)

Red hot!!
This dress is super sexy and tight . It hugs and accentuates all of your curves. The lace detail of the dress is beautiful. The fabric is very light and it's good to wear for an outside wedding. Sometimes I get a little iffy on wearing lace, because sometimes it gets itchy, but the lace is soft and the lining of the dress is silky. I also rented the small and I found that it rode up while I was walking, so therefore I opted to wear the XS instead. Beautiful dress! Would rent again!

Perfection
This Dress fit like a glove. I felt like a princess the entire night, and received so many compliments! I wore a 2R and it was a little long still even with 3 inch heels. I wore long dangly sparkle earrings to complement the dress and a bangle. I highly reccomend this for a fall wedding since there is a lot of extra fabric below the bodice, and it would get hot in the summer. It's very flowly. Loved it!

Red hot!!!
I rented this dress for a wedding and it was stunning! It's a little long for me...I'm about 5' 4" and wore 3 inch heels and it still a bit too long, I had to hold to up when walking up the stairs. I rented the P for a backup and that was too short. aside from the length, this dress tugs at every right spot and makes you look tall and slender. It's super comfy to move around in and the best part is that it doesn't fall down or slide down..a peeve of strapless dresses. Great dress and I highly recommend it!!!

100% Class
I rented this dress for date night and it was stunning. I could feel heads turning on the street as I walked. The fabric on the dress isn't heavy as described in some of the previous posts. It def can be worn all year long. It is a true to size dress as there isn't much stretch. I rented the UK 6/ US 0 and the UK 8/US 2 and I ended up wearing the UK 8/US 2. The black contrast on the dress definitely makes you look more slimmer. The only thing I didn't like about it was that it was a little long. I'm 5'4" and it goes down past my knees. Aside from that, the dress is beautiful and I highly recommend it!

Sophisticated Sexy
I tried this dress on at the soho showroom and it fit like a glove. I'm 5 4" , 120lbs and my normal size runs from a 0-2, and the size 8 in this dress was perfect. It wasn't too tight and the best part was that there was still a little space in the waist area. It pairs really well with the dress me up bracelet from Cara Accessories. One thing to note...this dress has no stretch so be warned ahead of time! Id suggest getting a size bigger for your second size, just in case.

Sexy, Slimming, and Sophisticated!
I wore this dress for NYE 2014 and it was quite the head turner! I recieved so many compliments! The RVN Reptile Dress runs small. Upon taking it out of the RTR bag, i was a little concerned that it wouldn't fit. It has a ton of stretch and I was able to squeeze into an XS. Although its tight, it's not short at all. I am about 5' 4" and it hit above the knee to make it classy and not slutty. It was also so slimming! I felt like a star!

Unforgettable Napa Weekend!
I wore this dress for a weekend getaway in Napa. It was a perfect dress for a weekend of wine tasting. Since it's a shift dress, it ran a little big. I got this dress in a 0 and a 2 and ended up going with a 0. It hugged at all the right places, and it wasn't loose at all. It was a perfect fit. The hem at the bottom is beautiful as it follows the pattern of the lace, instead of being cut straight across. I paired it with a statement necklace that I already had. What a magical weekend! Thanks RTR!

Perfect summer cocktail dress
The little mermaid flap on the side was very unexpected. It added a little something extra to the dress, that otherwise would have made it boring. It needs to be ironed down so that it doesn't flap out so much, but otherwise its a head turner. The dress runs true to size, but beware, if you are looking for a little bit of a stretch, this dress has no give.

This fit really strange on me. The 2 was too big as was the 4 and normally I wear a four. Maybe it was the ruching I didn't like, but it went back.

A little big.
This dress was beautiful, but I had to pin it behind my neck. The small ran a little large on me, I would have liked for it to been a tiny bit tighter, but all in all it was a great dress for a formal event.
