Perfect black tie, winter/fall dress

The bust was a little low cut but with tape could be adjusted. Very stretchy and forgiving - I wore shapewear underneath. I’m between a size 6 and 8, and the 8 was great! Wore with 3 inch heels.

Literally Perfect

This dress is absolutely stunning! I never usually get a petite size but that’s all that was available, it was maybe a tiny bit short but honestly didn’t mind it because it fit me like a glove. It was so comfy and I didn’t need to adjust it at all. Definitely more sparkly in some lights than I thought but so pretty!

Flattering cut, glamorous look!

The shape of this dress enhances the bust, and fits smoothly through the waist- good at hiding bulges, especially if you use tummy control underwear. It is a "midi" style, so came to my ankles, which was fine. Gold shoes tend to work best. Got many compliments!

Gorgeous dress

Extremely comfortable and very sexy. Can be more or less low cut depending on preference. As a small chested girlie I wore a push up bra to get more of an effect

Get this dress!

Sexy, form fitting, shows off every curve! Wore this as a bridesmaid to my friends wedding where she wanted us in fall colors. This gown did not disappoint! I would say this probably wouldn’t be the best option for my larger chested girlies. I used boob tape and then double sided tape to keep the top part in place and had no issues. I danced the night away without any slips or snugs. 10/10 recommend

Flattering gown

I really loved this gown. The neckline was a bit hard to deal with at first but I made it work eventually. The only complaint I have is that I didn’t need the petite and would have been fine with the regular length. At 5’3 that’s very rare.

The dress fit perfectly. I ordered a 0 regular and a 0 petite. The petite fit too short. It wasn’t long enough (like the model is wearing it). I got many compliments.

Beautiful fit and color

Wore this to black tie wedding in September. Even though it was a super hot day I never felt too hot. Loved the way it looked on my neckline. I wore a size 6 which is my normal size. I’m three months post partum so my Honeylove shapewear was a must underneath.

No notes

So pretty and flattering. I have 32" waist and 41" hips, this dress was crazy stretchy so fit curves so nicely. And with the ruching it's flatters the areas I'd usually like to hide like the tummy. I wore 2in heels and the bottom of the dress hit right at the floor so perfect for girls on the shorter side looking for full length dresses!

The fabric was stretchy and comfortable - the bump offset the length and worked out great for me at 4'11 in a 1 inch heel.

Comfortable and Dressy

Wore this to a Work Christmas party at a restaurant and got a few compliments in the fit. It is form fitting but the gathers in the material make it somewhat forgoving. . Definitely hugs your curves, but was perfect for the event of not too dressy and not too casual for a chilly night out.

Long but understated

Nice to have a gown long enough for the tall gals. It wasn't as much glam as I wanted for my event. The sparkle in the fabric didn't read as much as I hoped.

Perfect Wedding Guest Dress

I ordered both the 2 and 4, both fit lovely because of the stretchy fabric, but the 4 laid better across the bust. Absolutely stunning dress that awarded lots of compliments. The long sleeves and length was perfect for a February wedding in Napa. 5’6” 125 lbs and 2 months pregnant in the photo, so perfect for accommodating a bloated mini bump and could likely stretch enough for a real bump without sizing up.

This dress was absolutely killlerrrr and so, so comfy. Very stretchy and perfect for a black tie wedding. Loved it so much and got so many compliments! The 0R was a little long with 3” heels but the 0P was perfect, so ended up wearing the petite.

So comfy and good length for shorter girlies

RENT THIS DRESS! I ordered for 4R and 6R as a backup. Wore the 4R. The length was perfect! (I usually order petite for the length, but didn’t with this dress because of other reviews.) The color was so unique. The ruching is incredibly flattering on the tummy and booty! I was comfortable all night long! Also, shout out to RNR — we got SNOW in south Louisiana, and I was afraid the delivery would get delayed, but RNR sent the package to me 4 days EARLY without me even inquiring.

I wore this to an evening wedding and it was so comfortable for a long evening of dancing! I got so many compliments and it fit just right. It is stretchy and doesn't squeeze too tight. It will not "suck you in" like some other fabrics but the rouching and shape make it flattering.

Very stretchy and forgiving. You can also adjust the way it falls on your body to increase or decrease the length. It’s a good rental because it probably fits well for most ladies. The shimmer is classy. Not too glittery.
