Loved this dress! Comfortable all evening, and could even wear a regular bra with it! I'm almost 5'1" and wore 2 inch heels - perfect!

Very comfortable, easy to wear.

5’5”, 130lbs, 34G. Wore size 10 with 1 1/2” heels. Fit so well, has a bit of give, room for a more curvy figure in the hip/thigh, but still hung very nicely on my no booty. Most importantly I could wear a normal bra!

Glamour and Confidence

Well made, great fit, sparkles for days and felt like a star. Also as a fuller busted lady whose had three kids it really made my post baby body feel glamorous (and can wear a regular bra too). Minor heads up - Zipper is a little tough to get up and down due to sequins. All in all, I would recommend this dress in a heartbeat!

This dress sparkled in the sun for the outdoor event and was comfy for summer mountain temps.

I loved the way the dress flowed and hugged my body. It fit true to size, but unfortunately there wasn't a 0P which would have been perfect for my 4'11" frame. Still the OR worked - I just had to adjust the length from shoulder to torso. I got so many compliments on the dress during the night!

Loved this dress the little stretch in fabric made it comfortable to sit and dance. The lining inside was very soft. The 4R was perfect for my height with my heals on I was about 5' 71/2" .. my weight 127 breast 36 D

Perfection!!! I was told by several people that I was the best dressed lady at the gala. ❤️

I’m really glad I read the reviews before ordering… I’m 5’ 6” and I ordered the long length. It allowed a little bit of my toes to peak out in the front and beautifully grazed the floor in the back as I walked wearing standard size stilettos. The inside lining is very soft and stretchy, which helped with my big boobs! Lol… but a smaller chested woman would fit in it great as well. There were no areas that the sequins rubbed against my skin. The dress was super comfy for walking around and dancing. I loved that I got to wear my regular bra with it as well! I’m REALLY glad that the smaller of the two size options fit me (weight 135). I ordered a 4L and 6L, but they sent me a 4L and 8L (which was way too big). All’s well that ends well though! I would highly recommend this dress to anyone!!!! It would be very flattering on all shapes.

Perfect dress for a gala!

I am between size 10-12 and wore the 12L as the fit was a bit better around the back. Loved the sparkle from the sequins and the long length for this tall lady. Received many compliments and the dress was super comfortable for a night of dancing!

I wore this for a Winter Gala event and it was just stunning. I received compliments all night long.

I was so comfortable in this dress. I am a curvy, plus size woman and this dress was extremely flattering on me. Everyone told me how beautiful it was and bonus... it twirls!!! I wear an 18-20 and the fit was pretty good. I am a Size DD bust and it had plenty of room. -Rachel

I wore this dress to the Policemen's Ball - it was gorgeous and crazy comfortable!

I ordered an 8R and 10R and went with the bigger size. The arm area is a little tight and I wanted to be comfortable all night. I am 5'3" and the length was perfect with 2in heels. If you are any taller than me I would go with the long option. The color is gorgeous, I thought it was going to be more of a purple but I liked the amount of silver in the sequins. The dress has a lot of stretch that was great for dancing. The only con I have about this dress is that it doesn't breathe well - after a couple of line dances I was too hot to keep going!

Gala Event

Ordinarily wear a 10 but do have a full bust size 36G. Due to this the size 10 would not zip so i did have to use the 12R. The length and fit were perfect but it is very form fitting. If you dont want to show off your curves i would get a size up or a different dress. I loved the color and the fact the black lining kept your arms from scraping the sequins. Length was perfect with heals. This was my first RTR and my curves made me nervous to order but i dont think ill purchase a dress again. From shipping to quality i loved it. ONE NEGATIVE: i think the site should add how many in your general area has rented the same dress. Would be easy to track by zip code. There were 3 people in the same dress at my event :(

This was my first RTR and i was nervous because I have broad shoulders and odd proportions....but this dress fit like it was made for me!! I cant wait until my next fancy event. Im 5'3" and it was the perfect length with high heels!

Glamorous but comfortable!

This dress was true to size, if not a little large. It definitely runs short- I'm 5'2 and wore 2 inch heels and it was just the right length. I wore a normal bra and was confident and comfortable all night. I got tons of compliments and would recommend this dress to anyone, but would recommend getting the long unless you are short like me.

Stunning and Comfortable!

Beautiful gown! I rarely wear floor length dresses, but had to find something for a black tie wedding. This dress is sparkly but not over the top. It hugs the body in all right places and best of all it is so easy to move in! I had to wear the Long versus Regular - I am 5'5 and wore 4 inch heels - the regular ended up falling at the top of my ankles/feet. Great rental, highly recommend!

I rented from RTR last year and wore a 12L. This year I wore a 6L. That made it GREAT!

This dress fits great, you can wear a regular bra, and the long is recommended if you are 5'8" or taller. I wore a lower heel, maybe 2", because I have to. I feel like a 3" heel would have been ok, too. I only have one minor complaint, the sequins rubbed my arms. Overall, great rental for the work occasion, not revealing, showed a little back and was classy. It sparkled nicely and complaints were given all night.

A show stopper!

This dress was amazing! It was very flattering and definitely stood out. I received compliments all night! The only downside was that it was a little long as I'm only 5'2 so I had to keep lifting it up. Other than that, I'd definitely recommend it!

Simply stunning and perfect

Loved loved loved the purple color. This was exactly what I was looking for for a formal gala in Vegas. I'm so glad I went with this choice. I needed something I could wear a regular bra with and this fit the bill. I got so many compliments on this dress and would definitely rent again. No sequin irritation and plenty of room for my large bust.

Felt like royalty in this gorgeous sequined number!

I rented this dress for my friend's formal wedding reception. It was a jazz/swing/New Orleans-themed party and this dress was perfect. I loved this dress and would gladly rent it again. It is incredibly comfortable and surprisingly easy to walk in. I got compliments all night and many slow-mo videos of me twirling in this sparkly dress were taken. I highly recommend this dress!

The fit was perfect and very comfortable. I did get a larger backup size which I ended up wearing. The length was perfect too! It was over the top but subtle at the same time.

This dress is very comfortable!

I wore to my hospital gala. I used this month’s subscription for 5 dresses to pick from for the gala. Honestly this dress wasn’t the one that I looked the best in but it made me feel like I was stepping out of a black & white movie. When walking and dancing the bottom flow of the material is so beautiful…. It’s my little girl fantasy dress come to life. This dress has some stretch to it so when you sit down it’s not a problem nor after you eat, it was incredibly comfortable. I had many wow compliments. Now I am trying to justify buying it. As it will be so hard to return, my love affair with it is bursting! The dress is very long without my 5 inch heels that is necessary to wear with it to walk. If you’re 6ft tall then it should fit perfectly lol!
