A little work-inappropriate
I liked this, but it was a little too revealing for work - the v neck was deep, and the zipper on the v neck was a little informal. Also ended up having to pin the slit in the skirt - it went up really far! Otherwise I loved it.

Got this as my backup, but went with the other dress. Still, this was really elegant and I'll definitely rent it again.

Loved them so much I bought them
I'm someone who prefers minimalist jewelry but wanted something a little more flashy (but still tasteful). These were spot on. Bought them the next day.

Endless compliments all night. The color is a little more purplish in person but shows up as red in pictures. Just order it, it's worth it.

Danced all night in this one! It's scuba fabric, so thicker and got a little hot, but was comfortable.

Last Minute Madness!
I ordered a gown for a black tie gala to show up at my office the day of the event (it was a last-minute thing). Unfortunately, it never showed up, so I had to race over to the NoMad RTR shop and beg my way to the head of the queue (this was 45 minutes before the event began). The staff were lovely, and so helpful, despite being absolutely slammed. Asked the rep to bring me anything that was navy or black without cutouts or ruffles in my size - was absolutely delighted with this gorgeous, comfortable gown, which I would have picked out for myself anyway. I received compliments all night long, and was only 30 minutes late to cocktail hour. Now THAT's service.

Tight in the hips
I've worn this gown in red before in a 2, and it was enormous in the chest. So I got the 0 as a backup dress, thinking it would fit - it did not even zip up, it was so narrow through the hips. Glad I had another dress to go with.

First, this necklace is silver (it's a little hard to tell from the pic), just FYI. I normally wear gold, but I loved this necklace, and I got a ton of compliments on it. Pretty and edgy all at once. Would buy it if I could justify it.

Striking color, comfortable fit, sleek cut
I got this as a replacement when my original dress wasn't available to ship and I am so glad I did! It was a showstopper - turned heads left and right at a black tie wedding. Best parts were that it was very comfortable, worked with my undergarments (wore a strapless bra), and showed off my tan. I'm 5'4" and wore 3 inch heels - I wish my heels were slightly taller because it trailed just a bit.

Size up 2 sizes
I usually wear a 0 and while the 2 fit (with some help on the zipper), it was very very tight. I opted to be able to breathe so I wore something else. It's a beautiful piece, and I loved how it looked, but size up 2 sizes if you want to be comfortable.

Cute but not for me
I didn't wear this - it was sent as a backup to another dress. Very cute, and it fit well (although I wish the waist had more definition, it might need a thin belt). Didn't wear it because I'm over the lace trend, and because it is a very, very light mint - almost white, and would absolutely look white under colored lights. Not great for a wedding!

Elegant and striking
I wasn't sure I was going to wear this at first, since my regular size 0 couldn't be delivered with it and they sent another dress in 0. The 2 was definitely a bit large, especially in the chest, but once I used fashion tape it was so, so great. I got compliments left and right, and best of all, the dress was comfortable as well as flattering. Would absolutely rent again.

I love Lizzie fortunato jewelry and these were no exception. Comfortable and chic. I'd recommend swapping the backs for wider ones when you wear just for some more support.

Sexy dress with excellent construction - the lining is great and the material is thick. Loved it, even if it was a little sexier than I normally do. The length offsets the high slit.

Classic and elegant
Gorgeous- perfectly elegant and work appropriate. It's more ivory than white. I ended up wearing the small, although the extra small fit better on the top, just because the xs was a hair on the tight side on the bottom and I wanted to stay professional. Seriously considering buying it!

Got as backup- didn't wear
I didn't wear this because it was quite a lot of dress for a summer wedding, even in NYC. It was really cool looking, though, and I'd consider renting it for another occasion. The straps do pooch out if you slouch at all, though.

Gorgeous!
The top part of this dress is so lovely. I wasn't crazy about the bottom, but no one was looking at it anyway! The zippers are GOLD not silver, FYI - I wore gold earrings and it was perfect. The zipper is definitely tough, as other people have mentioned, no matter how well the dress fits; I had to turn the dress around and pull it up from the front over the waist before scooting it back to the back to get it pulled up. I'm smaller chested so a couple of strips of fashion tape kept me in place all night - I got tons of compliments and felt great in photos!

Didn't wear due to size
I really wanted to like this, but it was so big on my arm, and so shiny that it felt a bit costume-y. I decided not to wear it

Great dress, very comfortable
Got this as a backup and was so happy I did! Ended up wearing it without a bra, and it was fine- needed a bit of moleskin to cover up a part in the bodice where the boning was poking through, and definitely needed to press before wearing, but it was a great wedding outfit.

Would absolutely rent this again-- architectural and interesting without being overly flashy. The color is more chartreuse than yellow. I paired it with a bright red lip and was complimented all night. Plus, pockets. So great. The back zipper is a little tricky.

These were fantastic. I expected them to be a bit heavy, but I swapped the small backs for round bullet clutch backs (the kind of with a silicone circle) and had way more support. They were perfectly manageable after that! Had them on for 5-6 hours no problem. Really beautiful and luxe.

Stunning
This dress was awesome - a ton of compliments and a lot of attention but most of all I was comfortable and felt good! I wore a 2R but wish that I had ordered a 0R for my backup (I had sized up per the suggestion). Small busted ladies should size DOWN for the backup. I needed to do an emergency run to a department store to get a push-up stick on bra because there was no way it was staying up without it. That said, although the 2R was slightly too big, with fashion tape and some foundation garments no one could really tell ( there were some comments on how it fit me like a glove, which made me laugh). The red color is more understated in person (less bright and a little more refined). It's gorgeous. I wish I could buy it.

Not bad - a little small
This was a good neutral clutch that worked with everything - liked the shimmer. It was, however, a bit small and I wish the closure was a little more secure. I'll rent again if I need a good neutral clutch.

Beautiful details
The dress fits true to size-- I had no issue with getting it on, and it was flattering to my borderline straight and narrow/pear shape. Endless compliments, etc etc, and the rose gold color is subtle and luxe. Loved it except for the sequins - they didn't scratch immediately but by the end of the night I had what looked like a light rash all down my arms. No one would notice it, but it was a bit uncomfortable. It would have been worse if the dress didn't hang very loosely, so I'd recommend sizing up for backup.

Comfortable and beautiful!
Wore this to a winter wedding - was ultra comfortable for dancing and I got a ton of compliments! The bateau neckline is wide and very flattering, so I'd recommend a strapless or stick-on bra (I went with the latter). One slightly annoying thing was that the tag was very prone to flick up in the back, but I fixed it with some double sided tape. Would definitely rent again!

Very cute, classy!
Wore this to the opera-- needed a pretty major push up bra to fill it out, so if you're smaller-chested, I'd recommend strategic shapewear. The pockets were great, my date loved it and I got lots of compliments! I'd have actually sized down to a 00 for this one, probably, but it all worked out.
