An polished and fashionable black tie dress

This dress was comfortable and didn't require shapewear for it to look good. The slit is high and centered when you sit, so be mindful of that - I ended up pinning so I could dance and sit without having to think about it.

This is the one

Absolutely love this dress. It felt like a glove little cheeky with the side zipper but it ended up working out perfectly for a winery wedding guest. I was able to wear flat sandals, which was a plus! If you’re on the fence about it, rent it.

Perfect black dress.

I wore this to a company gala in Orlando. The fit was very flattering and comfortable. Slit is pretty high when seated. I got lots of compliments. I would rent it again.

Lovely dress

This dress was a bit tight in the waist while being a loose in the top and I'm a pear or hourglass shaped, but it was beautiful! The slit was also a bit high when seated so be careful but I got loads of compliments!! I would wear it again.

Perfect fit!

I chose the dress for a black tie affair and it was the perfect length since I’m only 5’4” and 125 pounds so the 4P was just right. A great first experience with RTR And I will definitely be a repeat customer!!

Would rent again!

Really liked this dress. Wore to a black tie optional wedding. I wore the 2P and it fit nicely- definitely some room in the top (Im a 34D), so perhaps a better dress for fuller chested folks. No bra was needed which I appreciated :)

Amazing Rental!

This dress was perfect for a black tie wedding! I typically wear I size 12, but I waited too long and it was sold out, so I got a size 10R and 12L. The 10R was tight and I didn’t feel like being uncomfortable all night, so I went with the 12L and wore higher heels. I’m 5’4” so it was still long but I wasn’t tripping over it. The 12R would have been perfect. Very unique neckline; got lots of compliments and felt great!

Modern, flattering dress - very chic

I wore this dress to officiate a formal wedding and couldn’t have been happier. The cut is asymmetrical and modern at the neck with flattering and comfortable draping. I got a lot of compliments.

Cool and comfortable

The underlying layer of top of the dress was a little big, but easily remedied with just a safety pin, and since it had the higher neck that went over it, nobody could tell. It was a little short, so flats were not an option. I get very claustrophobic with tight things around my neck, this was big enough to not bother me at all. And as a bonus, I didn't have to try to accessorize a necklace. The dress was for a formal event and was perfect. It felt very modern and was comfortable. The slit in the front requires a little attention so as not to flash the entire room, but I did not find it troublesome. I highly recommend this dress!

Stunning!

Felt like a goddess. I am 110lbs, 5'1" with a very small chest - got a size 2 & I did have to clip the inner part of the bodice, let's call it, the inner layer of the top. I did a gentle fold and clipped with a bobby pin to not damage the dress! And it was perfect lol. The length was also great with 2 inch heels (pictured). Super comfortable, good weight. You DO need to steam this, it wrinkles during shipping pretty bad. Be prepared for that :) hope everyone rents this!

Surprise slit!

I loved this dress, I thought it was a creative spin on a classic black tie dress. I got a lot of compliments. It hides a lot, no spanx nor bra needed. I will say it was a little tight around my stomach, but nothing that made me uncomfortable or would be seen. The slit is HIGH when you sit down. I had to hold it when I sat or put something on my legs to cover it. Be warned, it's a bit unruly.

Really pretty. I rented the 2, as 0 was not available. Fit true to size. Was a little big on me, but perhaps more comfortable at the waist as there is a zipper and no give.

comfortable & stylish

I usually wear at size 12 but went with the 14 which felt more comfortable around my waist & bust line. the length was perfect with 2-in heels. I didn't have to wear a bra which was great. however, I did have to use a bit of double-side tape to hold down the left side so the material didn't slide too far down my left boob.

LOVED!

This dress was so flattering, and comfortable, and stylish, and really just the best. I've been a little chunkier as of late, and quite self conscious because of it, and this dress made me feel so confident. I'm tall and the hem hit somewhere between my heel and ankle bone. My husband asked if I could buy it because he thought it looked so good. 10/10

Classy formal black dress

Beautiful dress for a formal winter wedding. A little loose on top for me but didn’t matter much and didn’t reveal anything. Length was perfect with heels. The slit is a little awkward- it doesn’t show much when standing but opens up a lot when sitting.

Felt like a million bucks

I love this dress. I felt sexy, confident, and a bonus of being very comfortable. The drape is flattering, and the neckline is interesting. The slit was a bit more centered than I realized when I walked, so I held it closed a few times to be sure I wasn’t flashing anyone. Would totally wear again!

TONS of compliments!

First of all, apologies for the crappy photos - I was taking them in my son's very messy room. Secondly, I LOVED this dress and got so many compliments on it at my niece's black tie wedding. It is the perfect mix of classy and sassy, and the asymmetrical neckline is super flattering. A few things - (1) the bottom part of the dress fits pretty TTS, but the top was EXTREMELY baggy and had to be pinned underneath the part of the dress that you wear around your neck (and I do not have a small upper body). (2) the bottom part of the dress has nice pleats that cover up any self consciousness surrounding the tummy - I didn't even wear shapewear and felt really confident! (3) the slit in the bottom of the dress is a bit tricky when sitting down. You kind of have to shift the dress over to the side to get it to not show too much leg, Thankfully I wasn't sitting down much, and when I was, I had either my clutch or a napkin over the slit. All in all, just a super classy, well designed and made dress that I felt amazing in.

The fit was so lovely! Could easily wear with a strapless bra. The long length was perfect with heels. Felt really comfortable in this all night. The slit is high when you’re sitting so just something to be mindful of depending on the event.

Classy, comfortable dress

Some of the reviews said the dress ran small so I got my regular size and one size down and I should have gotten a size up. The zipper is tightest at the ribcage so if you have a wide ribcage keep that in mind. It was flattering and comfortable and I loved it.

Amazing dress!

If you want compliments all night this is the dress for you! It fit like a glove in all the right places. Usually interesting neck lines are either too tight or not flattering but this was perfection! Comfy and because of the slit in the leg area I was able to dance and walk comfortably all night long!
