I got so many compliments on this dress! It was so comfy and fit perfectly!

I’m usually a 4 and a 4 fit great. I wore 2.5 inch heels and length was perfect. Very comfortable.

Gorgeous Color

This was perfect for a formal work event. It was modest while still being very flattering. The material was comfortable and stretchy.

Stunning color

Fabric is a bit heavy and slippery with a not breathable feel. Definitely shows all curves and needs shaping garments (not used in this picture). Color is bold and striking. Ended up wearing something else for my event with a bit more breathing and edge but may come back to this one!

Wow

Stunning color and beautiful thick material. Can wear normal bra, but you do have to adjust the top quite a bit. I am short but could not wear heels.

Loved this dress!

I ordered a 10 and an 8 and went with the bigger size. It fits very snug but it’s sooooo pretty on! I got so many compliments on it and the color is stunning.

Lots of compliments!

Gorgeous color and thick, stretchy fabric. Gives a great silhouette. Sexy, but the demur shoulders scale it back just enough.

Loved this dress!

Very flattering fit. Found it true to size. I wore it to a work event that was black-tie and it fit the bill perfectly. I liked that it covered my shoulders while also still being flattering.

Color and Fit were a Hit!

I am currently between sizes and ordered this dress in a 4R with a 6R backup. Luckily I received the dresses a day before the rental period because both were too small. The RTR representative was extremely helpful and replaced the dress with the 8R AND let me pick another option just in case. They overnighted them so I would have them in time for our gala. The 8R fit wonderfully and I got so many compliments on the color.

Order your true size!

I ordered a 6 with 4 as the backup, but only received the 4 as the 6 became unavailable. The 4 was way too tight; the 6 would have been perfect. Beautiful color and nice weight.

Need to wear seamless undergarments as dress fits with a beautiful silhouette - but pantyhose, pantylines etc show!

Beautiful, elegant dress. I received so many compliments.

If you are between sizes, size up. I also recommend Spanx for undergarment.

Beautiful color

I received so many compliments on this gown. The color is gorgeous and really stands out in a crowd. The fit was very nice and the dress is comfortable. I wore a regular bra which seemed fine but as I moved around more the strap and top of the cup could be seen poking out at the top. I would recommend finding another option. I also recommend wearing seamless undergarments for the bottom half. All of that considered the dress was lovely.

Got tons on compliments!

Ended up really loving this dress, but only giving it 4 stars because I wanted a dress with good coverage and this was not that. Ended up doing some pinning and adjusting to make it work how I wanted.
