Favorite RTR dress ever! But the zipper split.
This dress is so sexy. The cutouts were super flattering. I was saving this dress for a very special event. Put it on and zipper split. A real bummer. I see another reviewer had the same problem. I've rented hundreds of dresses and this has never happen.

It was hard to get this one over my head...but worth it.

Long, flowing and flattering
I loved everything about this dress. I'm 5'9 and the ML was perfect with 3 inch heels. I could see how this would be tight around the chest if you had larger than a B cup. My little buddies were snugly in place. Beautiful print and fun to accessorize. Waist ran large in comparison to bust.

Classy, comfortable, unique and dramatic.
Runs true to size. I'm usually a 6 but became an 8 over the holiday season. This dress is easy to get on and easy to accessorize. Normal bra worn and panties did not show. Killer shade of blue. Very flattering.

Beautiful, perfectly tailored.
I am usually a 6. Wore the 8, it had room to spare but I wanted to be comfortable walking. So definitely true to size. I am 5'9 and wore boots with a 1 inch heel. The dress did not touch ground. I couldn't have worn heels. The dress looked expensive and did not wrinkle.

Easy to wear!
Loved this dress. Beautiful colors and print. Because of the open back I went braless. The front has lovely draping and conceals any nip revealing. I usually wear a 6. Wore 8. I would say it runs a half size small.

Beautifully made, bright color & and flattering lines.
Friends, you must go a full size up. Creates a perfect hour glass shape. Fabric has good weight, will not fly up or show fat lumps and bumps. Bold color means all eyes on you when you enter a room. Loved wearing this dress!

Stunning...
I am tall and the 6L had enough length in the body to be comfortable. I wore 2 1/2 heels and it was just above the ground. So much better in person. Beautiful color and surprisingly comfortable.

Sexy, elegant and highly recommended.
I LOVED wearing this dress, hugged all curves in the right places. The draped design was flattering and did not add inches to the look of my hips. I am between a 4 and a 6. I rented the 4. It was tight, I was squeezed in but it looked tasteful. There is no zipper. When first trying on I tried to pull over my head with no luck. I’d recommend ‘stepping’ into this one. If you want to breathe OR have a medium/large bust size up, if you want to look super sexy go with your regular size. The fabric holds you in and smooths out bumps. The color is insane. It's elegant, rich and so much better in person. It’s super classy and super sexy. Compliments all night. Overall, one of my favorite rentals.

LOVED IT!
Pros: Very comfortable, incredibly unique, easy to wear and perfectly camouflages an oversized (after a 9 course diner) belly. Compliments from the moment I walked in. Fit: I usually wear a 4. Only available in 6, looked great. But could have worn 4. This dress is on the short side for a tall girl. I’m 5’9 and it was just long enough. Wore my comfy everyday bra. Cons: None. Worn to: Dinner at Post Ranch Inn

Highly Structured, Professional and Sexy.
This dress runs large. I usually wear a 4 or 6, received the 6 and needed to add a belt. Could have done the 2! This dress looks like a million bucks, it’s so professional and elegant but the major slit keeps it sexy.

Wore this dress for an elegant, outdoor pizza party. Harrison Ford helped me with my dough! This dress was such a treat to wear. I would recommend sizing down for your back up. I’m 5’9 and the 4L barely touched the ground in flats. This dress makes you look SKINNY! Highly Recommended.

Classic, sexy, elegant and will fit everyone!
WISH I had a better picture! The DVF wrap dress is a classic, looks amazing on everyone. I’m between a size 4 and 6, received in 6 and was a great fit. The knit silk fabric is great for travel, always looks perfect, ever a wrinkle. Love the wrap/belt design, allows you to accentuate your waist no matter where your waist falls. I’m 5’9 with a long waist. Often the waist falls about 2 inches too high for me. Not with this classic stunning dress. Recommend for all shapes and sizes! And so versatile and even if you don’t get the perfect size it will still look amazing. Wore to dinner at Marea in NYC and still looked sexy after a 9 course meal. No special bra required and beyond comfortable. I never had to tug or adjust once! And finally, while in NYC saw this exact dress in the DVF window. Love wearing a brand new style at a 1/10th of the price.

Elegant.
Usually wear a 4 or 6, could have done a 2 but the 4 worked nicely to accommodate the huge dinner I ate. Black and white are such an elegant combination. I received compliments from both my husband and several strangers throughout the night! I am 5’9 and on the narrow side, I would recommend this for taller girls. I went with a basic strapless bra. Husband now knows the drill of taking dress pictures for my reviews! Wore to dinner at the Four Seasons Restaurant and was easily best dressed in a room of fancy people.

Easy to wear, would fit any body type. Adjustable shoulder straps allow for the waist to fall in right place. I'm 5'9 and wore the 6L. Had to wear flats. I always wear a 6 or 8...the 6 was perfect. Wore this to dinner in Madrid...also paired with a blazer for dinner in morocco.

This dress runs HUGE.
I've rented 58 dresses and I've never had a dress run this large. I generally wear a 6, sometimes an 8. I could have worn a 2 in this one. The top was too low to wear a strapless bra but that might be because the dress was so big. I was not able to wear this one. Not cute.

Flattering & Fun
This dress fit like a glove. I'm 5'9, the dress was short but not inappropriately short. The only downside was that the size 6 I rented had some weird shrinkage causing the hem to roll up at the back zipper, this made the back 2 inches shorter than the front. I LOVED the hidden pocket in front. I never would have found it but a previous reviewer pointed it out.

Interesting, Sharp, Hard to Wear
Wore this to fancy scotch tasting. This dress DID come with a black lace bandeau top. This dress is not easy to wear. I loved the length and the idea behind this dress. As the other reviewer mentioned the upper half is HUGE, I have 6 inches of it tucked in to the waistband in this picture, the extra bulk of this lace made me look lumpy. I was tucking in back in every few minutes. The back is very open. The included bandeau is outrageous, it has square shaped underwire and comes to a sharp point. I purchased a lace bralette. I am always a size 6 or 8. I received the 4 & 6 in this dress, wore the 4.

I am always a 6 or 8. I wore the 6 and used safety pins to take the waist in another 4 or so inches. Size down for your back up! The dress is made up of 3 layers, very elegant and perfect for a garden wedding.

Greatest Dress Ever!
This dress fit like a glove! The fabric is a heavier weight stretch so it hugged every curve, the layout of the white detailing was incredibly slimming. Also super comfortable...I ate a 15 course dinner in this one and felt just as good walking out as I did walking in. I'm 5'9 and the dress fell several inches below my knee. I loved the length, it's nice not having to pull down your dress all night. No bra needed! The design and structure of this dress kept my boobs up and in place. The heavy weight of the fabric kept the boobage modest. Wore this to dinner at Providence in LA and was best-dressed...the models and actresses were jealous :) HA! I shed a tear as I packaged this one to send back. I've rented about 40 dresses and this one is BY FAR the best.

I rented the 6L and 6R...a size 4 would have been best. In my opinion this one runs large. I'm 5'9 plus and I felt both the R and L were very long. I loved the colors and styling, the back was sexy without being tacky. No bra needed! A shorter gal would be swallowed by this stunning gown, even in heels.

Lunch at Lasarte.
This is a beautiful, classy dress! I wore it for a lunch at Lasarte in Barcelona. Upscale is an understatement and this dress fit the bill. I tried going sans bra but this dress was nipple city! I attempted to rectify the situation with band-aids to no avail. I ended up wearing a nude bra and left my hair down and back to cover it. A Nubra type item is an absolute must if you are trying to keep this dress classy. The fit was flawlessly elegant.

I've rented about 20 times from RTR and this was my all time favorite! I'm tall and I found the length to be flattering, it was short but not too short. The design gave me the smallest waistline! I wish I had taken a picture to share.

Wow, what a treat it was to wear this stunning dress. It was beyond easy to wear and very comfortable. I think this would look amazing on any body type, weight or height. The knit was a tiny bit see-thru but I think it just added to the sexy factor. I wore this on two dates and both the men LOVED it. I have rented so many dresses over the past year and this is still my favorite.

This dress was easy to wear. The longer length created a slightly modest look which I can appreciate from time to time. I added a silver metal chain belt (a strap I took off a purse) and it brought the waist in adding a touch of sexy. It fit true to size and it fit great. I wouldn’t describe this one as a show stopper, it’s just easy.
