Classic Elegance with a side of sexy

The dress fit perfectly. I wore a sticky bra to keep the girls lifted and in place. I had to keep my shoulders back to avoid gaping, since the straps were a little long. If it were my own dress, I would have taken the straps in a bit. It is long. I am 5’3”ish and wore 4” heels and it pooled a bit on the floor, but that still looked ok & I was still able to dance in it. I received many compliments.

Beautiful Quality but the top is an odd shape

The bust was either stretched out of cut in a way that gaps on the side. I could not wear the dress. It was beautifully made with high quality fabric, but simply unwearable. I would have needed to open up the side seam and take it considerably. Oddly, the other side was fine.

I wore the size 2, because the bust in the 4 was far too large. The 2 was snug, so needed assistance with the zipper. The built in bra allowed me to wear this strapless gown & dance the night away. Sooo many compliments!

Beautiful dress. It is long for someone on the shorter side. Would need high heels. It was too much fabric for an outdoor summer wedding in the heat, so I decided not to wear it. If it had been cooler, I definitely would have worn it. Will likely rent again! It also has a lot of fabric, which can be a bit voluminous for a shorter person.

Awkward shape and sizing

The dress is a floral, which wasn’t 100% clear on the app. The top fell off me. It just has a shape and size that didn’t work on my body type.

What a shape! So figure flattering!

Great dress!!! Got lots of compliments. No need for any shape-wear, because the fabric is very flattering. I didn't need to wear a bra, but wore gel petals. There was some ruching which hides problem areas around tummy. The neckline plunges, but is still very tasteful. I wore 38R because 40R was too long to dance in. Wore 3.5" heels. I usually wear size 2 or 4 depending on cut and brand. Fantastic dress!!!

This was my back-up, so I didn't wear it. I am between a 2 & 4, and the 40R fit, but was a little long even with 3" heels. It is thick quality fabric that smooths you out and hides imperfections. It was a little more conservative than I wanted for the particular event, but could be worn in nearly any formal setting.

Bold pattern & great fit made this dress memorable!

The size 4 was a bit too large in the bust, so I wore the 2. The 2 was a little narrow across my hips , but I usually wear a 4 so this makes sense. I decided that being a smidge snug at the hips was better than too much side boob. Overall, I got so many compliments on the dress. It was great for an early Spring event. The fabric is substantial, so this isn't a summer weight gown. I would highly recommend this dress because you will stand out in the very best way possible.

Stunning dress, but runs small and fabric isn't forgiving.

I am 5'4" and about 125 and usually wear a size 4. I ordered a 4 & 6. I wore the 6. It fit, but spanx were definitely needed. Due to the fabric and cut of the dress, even the slightest tummy bulge is very noticeable, which causes the dress to be less flattering. Unfortunately, this gorgeous dress really highlighted my flawed midsection. The fabric is gorgeous & looks better in person than in photos. If you are curvy, this probably isn't the dress for you. If you have a flat tummy - which I don't - you will love this dress & get tons of compliments!

The fabric is rich, thick, and incredibly luxurious. I received a ton of compliments. I was thrilled when someone - who works in the fashion industry - walked up to me just to gush over the dress. I don't generally like strapless dresses, but this dress fit well and didn't gape or sit too low. This dress would be flattering on almost anyone.

Beautiful dress, but too revealing

The dress is lovely, but it was too revealing for my taste. The plunging neckline wasn't the issue. The real challenge was the lack of coverage on the sides. I just didn't feel comfortable in it, and was a bit concerned about the possibility of a wardrobe malfunction.

The color is darker & a bit more subtle than it appeared in some of the photos, which for me was a good thing. I received so many compliments all night long! The dress is high quality & is thick enough that you don't need spanx. I wore a nu bra, but you be able to wear a regular strapless. I wore 3.5" or 4" heels, and the length was great. I loved everything about this dress! The floral embroidery is stunning & really makes everyone take notice. The neckline is also very flattering. Simply a great dress!

Killer dress!

My original dress couldn't ship due to damage. What a happy accident. I loved this dress & got lots of compliments. When a beautiful young stylish ballet dancer told me that she loved my dress, I knew this was a very special gown. While it wasn't what I originally picked, thank you RTR for taking good care of me and ensuring I had a dress that fit & I would love. It is a little long. I wore the 4r and needed stilettos.

I received this as an alternate option when my original selection could not be delivered. It is fairly long, particularly if you are more petite. Built in bra means no extra undergarments, which is a plus. I wish I could have filled out the bust a bit more. Would be better on someone with a small rib cage and full C or D cup size. The quality & color are stunning. Be forewarned, the skirt is a very full tulle.

Wonderful styling & unique color!

This was sent when my original selection had been returned damaged. I could not wear it, because I needed a longer dress for the formal black tie event. It is fun & flirty so I might try it another time. I usually wear a 4, but the 2 fit perfectly. I would consider sizing down. Also, the fabric is a bit coarse, so this is not a warm weather option.

Wow! It is stunning, but really long!

This dress is stunning! The 4R wasn't available, so I took a risk with the 4L At 5'3.5", there was no hope for me, even with incredibly high stilettos. If you are tall, this dress is gorgeous. If you are on the more petite side, wear 4" heels at a minimum. I didn't wear this dress, but I might try to get the 4R in the future. Truly, it looks like a work of art.

The color and fabric were beautiful! I felt like a princess!

I usually wear a 4, but the 2R was perfect. The bodice should be closely fitted to your body. Gel petals are needed, since you can't really wear a bra. I wore 3.5" heels and am 5'3.5" tall and the length was great. It grazed the floor. It was so nice to stand out in a sea of dark colors. I got tons of compliments! I rented the jewelry, too. Truly, this dress will make you feel like a princess. Only downside was that due to the nature of the fabric, it arrived with creases. You could take it to the cleaners to steam, and voila!

The perfect gown for a ball!

I loved the color of this dress on-line, and it didn't disappoint. I received many compliments all night long on it. As I was going to see a lot of professional colleagues at the event I was attending, this dress gave the right amount of sexy with its figure-hugging design without being too revealing. I rented the 4R and 6R, but wore the 6R,. because the 4R was way too short, particularly with the heels that I planned to wear. The 6R was a little bit big on me, but having it be the proper length was more important to me. Some reviewers complained about the sequins, but I didn't have any trouble. I wore some runner's body glide under my arms and it protected me from any possible chaffing. Also, I wore a stick-on bra, which worked great. (I don't like my bra straps to show, and the black strapless I planned to wear could be seen in the back. Going with the stick-on bra ensured that no bra lines or straps would be visible.) The train in the back makes the dress special and gives it some Hollywood glam. I wore spanx to keep my tummy flat. I will note that this dress isn't very forgiving in the belly region. If your tummy is a troublesome area for you, with the location of the waste-band, this dress really accentuates that region. Overall, this is a stunning dress that would be appropriate at any formal affair. Having red hair, the green was a great choice for me and helped me stand out in a sea of black.

Amazingly comfortable, but still hugs your curves

I rented this dress as a back-up for an inaugural ball. It was a beautiful dress and very flattering, but I didn't end up wearing it. The lace shoulder straps were too loose & too long and didn't fit properly, particularly in the back.It almost seemed like they were stretched out. Had the straps fit properly, I probably would have worn the dress. Also, I had 4 1/2" heels and the length was great. I think that it still would have worked even if I had I worn lower heels. The color is beautiful and would probably look great on just about everyone. I love that the dress was so incredibly comfortable, particularly for a gown. It hugged my curves without looking too clingy or tight. If you could figure out how to fix the straps, it would be easy to dance the night away in this gown. I only gave it 3 stars, because of the straps.

The dress really hugs all of your curves. The fabric is clingy more than stretchy. It was back-up dress for me, so I am glad that my first choice worked out. While I liked the dress, it just wasn't the most flattering on me - largely because the blue was too bright for my pale skin tone. As always, though, the RTR team was awesome in assisting me and making sure my experience was exceptional.

The dress is beautifully made, but there is a lot of fabric. I am curvy, so the draping at the hips just wasn't flattering. There are a lot of unique features, particularly the back of the dress. If you are tall and not curvy, this dress could be stunning. If you are 5'5" or under, the dress will likely overwhelm you. It was my back-up, so the evening was still a success.
