Rent this!

I loved this for vacation dinner but I have gowns saved for events as well as vacation. This was perfect for dinner in Turks and not even a fancy one. I would say true to size but likely hard to wear if you are above a c cup. I filled the top and definitely consider myself on the smaller C side.

Perfect fit, comfortable, elegant

Love this dress! Well made. Lined (didn’t show undergarment lines) and it felt so comfortable and elegant. Perfect for a wedding. I’m 5’7” 115 pds and 34A. I just wore “nipple covers” and went braless The small fit but the XS fit better.

Slip dress but better

The seams on the side make it so much more flattering than a normal slip dress

Stunning for every occasion!!

Rent this dress!! It is the most flattering and comfortable dress with such a cute back detail. I would 10/10 buy this dress as a staple for my closet. I wore it for a holiday party & dressed it down with a turtleneck for work as well. I'm normally a 4 due to my wider back and this fit perfectly. I never felt like I was going to have a nip slip and while my boobs are on the medium side, I felt easily supported without a bra. 10/10 would rent again

Great wedding guest dress

I’m a size 6/medium on bottoms and 34B top. The size small was a smidge tight but stretched out throughout the night. Looked good on the chest - adjustable straps. I needed sticky boobs though. Got tons of compliments!!

Lovely wedding guest dress

Loved this dress! Between the XS and S I ended up wearing the XS for a slightly more form-fitting look, though it was a bit harder to get on and off. Very chic and comfortable for dancing.

My favorite rental ever

I’ve rented quite a few dresses from RTR for weddings and this one was my favorite. I felt so beautiful and comfortable. It is so flattering and short girl friendly! I am a 32B and filled it in perfectly but if you’re smaller you might have to wear push up sticky boobs. If you’re bigger than a C I probably wouldn’t get this one :/

Holy Smokeshow!

This is the most gorgeous dress I’ve ever rented from RTR! Got it for a fancy dinner for boyfriend’s birthday. Sexy and figure-flattering while concealing flaws. Didn’t need a bra or shape wear with this. Rent it; it’s amazing. You’ll feel like a movie star in this.

Favorite dress- wish I could keep it!

I wore this to a rehearsal dinner and got a ton of compliments. It fit perfectly! I’m 5’3 so it ended up hitting right at my ankle, but would be a true midi on someone taller and might not work for someone with a larger chest, as I couldn’t wear a bra with it.

High quality

I was planning on wearing this for a wedding but ended up going with something different that I liked better. You can tell it's high quality due to the fabric and stitching. Others have mentioned that it clings to the belly a bit which is true, however I didn't feel I could wear any type of underwear or the lines would show. That was my main reason for going with another dress, but this was still very pretty!

Great for a wedding

This dress is flattering overall and easy to make fit - I really appreciated the adjustable straps and adjustable band in the back. The fitting made it easy to not need a bra. Only downside is it can tend to cling a bit to your stomach. It will definitely be more of a maxi if you're short like me, but it still worked great for a summer outdoor wedding.

Amazing

This dress is incredible, I got compliments all night. The vibe is 90s and lingerie inspired. The bias cut is so flattering. I was worried that it would be better suited for a smaller chest but I felt comfortable and secure all night. If you're between sizes, I would size down.

I like the color and the fabric, but the dress made me look like a hotdog. I'm curvy/pear-shaped, but I looked like I had no curves. Still think it's a beautiful dress though, I just needed a size smaller.

Slinky but maybe size up

I might have liked it better had I sized up. I didn't end up wearing because it felt inappropriate for a wedding - that's my fault, I didn't realize the entire back was open too. And I also felt like it ran a bit small. All in all, it was just okay. I probably wouldn't rent again.
