Elegant and very flattering!
I LOVED this dress! I wore it to a black tie gala. It was elegant but also fun. I'm 5'7" and the Long was perfect with 4" heels. The top of the dress allowed me to wear a regular bra. Even though the dress is form fitting, it is surprisingly flattering even at my size. I'd consider myself a bit "fluffy" and felt very comfortable in this (I did wear spanx). Several random people complimented the dress during the night. There were other black lace gowns at the event, but the tulle bottom set this dress apart from the others. After reading the other reviews I knew the black ribbon may not be included with the dress so I bought a spool of ribbon at a local craft store for $3 and it worked great. My only caution, if there is one, is that the black lace straps were a bit long but a few pieces of fashion tape secured the straps to my shoulders without a problem so they didn't slip during the night. I'd definitely rent this gown again.

Stunning Color, Drapes Beautifully
I wore this gown to a black tie fundraiser and I loved it. The deep teal color felt elegant and refreshing in a sea of black gowns. The ruching on the top of the gown is very flattering. The top of the gown was a little loose so I wore a strapless bra to help hold it up. I'm 5'7" and the length of the dress was perfect with 4" heels, you just have to be careful when getting up because the tulle can get stuck on your shoes or under chair legs. The tulle sort of floats when you walk which was a nice effect. Beautiful gown!

Longer than most
This is a gorgeous dress. The color is definitely a silver overlay and the fabric is substantial so it will hold in any pooch you may have. I didn't wear the gown though because it is VERY long. I'm 5'7" and typically rent RTR's tall versions of gowns to wear with 4" heels. This dress was easily 3-4" too long even with my heels, and the dress has a train which would have been dragging. I'll absolutely rent this gown again if I have the opportunity, I'll just make sure to rent the normal length.

What a pop of red!
I rented this to wear to a "Red Hot Gala" and it stood out, even in a sea of other red dresses. The draping across the front was very flattering. I'm a 34D and still felt appropriately covered. The top did seem a tad stretched out so I occasionally had to pull the dress up during the night. As many reviewers noted, this gown runs long. I'm 5'7" and wore 4" heels. The 10R gown was still a bit long for me but it wasn't a tripping hazard or anything. Overall, this was a flattering, comfortable gown that drew a lot of compliments during the evening.

This gown stood out in a sea of red gowns
I rented this for a Red Hot Gala so I knew there'd be a ton of women in red gowns at the event. This dress stood out from all the others. The cut, the design, the fabric, the clean lines all made this gown just a bit nicer than the others. I loved how confident and pretty I felt in it.

These felt secure and not heavy at all. They gave a perfect amount of sparkle.

A sophistocated yet fun gown that stood out...in a good way
I wore this gown to a black tie gala where there was a sea of black gowns. The color and style of this dress were totally different from everything else there. I felt elegant and classy while still feeling fresh and fun. I received a ton of compliments during the evening! I've recently gained some weight and was concerned about how I'd look in the dress. I was shocked how slimming this style was. I'd rent this dress again in a heartbeat!!!
