Sized up per reviews and fit great. Beautiful dress that kept me warm on a cold night at the opera.

Wore to BAD PROM and it was the perfect pick ! I ordered the long and it fit just right . The slit is pretty high but I loved it :) 

Warm and classy velvet beauty. Slit is very high on the left leg but because the material is heavy, leg did not show except when walking and there’s enough material to cover up when sitting down.  Shoulder pads gave some pop but were not overwhelming.  Nice v-neck with no worries about showing too much, a regular bra worked fine.  I’m 5’9” and the long was a perfect length with under 2” heels. Anyone shorter than approx 5’9” the long would probably be too long. Enjoy! 

Beautiful stretchy fabric makes it so comfortable. Slit is high but you can tape or pin if needed. Showstopper

The perfect dress for a black tie holiday party!

Wore this to a close friends winter wedding and received lots of compliments. Favorite dress on RTR. The pictures don’t do justice!

I loved this dress! The shoulder pads are very extra, I burst out laughing when I first put it on. If you’re looking for attention, this is your dress!

I rented this for my husband's firm's Christmas party and it was an absolute hit. The dress fits true to size and is a beautiful velvet material. The slit is very aggressive, however, l was sure to wear boy shorts underneath and hold the dress at the slit to keep it from showing too much leg. Other then thst is is an absolute beauty!

I'm obsessed with this Bronx and Banco number! I wore to a formal wedding event and got so many compliments. Things to note - the slit is high, the sizing runs a bit big and the shoulder pads are intense. Overall I loved the 80s velvet vibe of this dress and it was extremely comfortable all night long.
Only downside is that the black dye from the dress rubbed off on my skin and nails.... minor issue for a dazzling/different dress. Would definitely recommend renting! 

Wore this to a black & white themed birthday party and definitely got a lot of compliments and head turns from men and women alike!! Accentuates in all the right places and hung well on my body. I have a shorter torso so the back had a bit of a bulge, but it was okay because it kind of had that effect of when you tuck in a shirt and pull it out a bit in the back.

Easy to move and dance in and doesn’t get too warm.

Lost a star because a lot of photos showed it with a more pronounced shape in the shoulders but that was definitely not the case for the dress I got. Probably just passed around for a while. 

Fit great! Slim in the waist. Comfortable to walk in. Slit is high when sitting. 

Y’all I was not prepared and almost showed my
Lady parts to 400 people. Thank God I randomly had a safety pin. Do yourself a favor and wear black spanx or something. The dress moves a lot so it was super stressful. The shoulder pads would have been better at like half the size. I got compliments but it didn’t make me feel “wow” like it should have 

Still debating if I will wear it to the event I rented it for. The shoulder pads are huge, like giant balls- wish these could be removed. This is definitely a higher slip than I anticipated and could be a potential disaster. I ordered a XSR and it’s way too long even with 3 inch heels. I will be able to make due just wish it came in a xs petite 

I was looking for a warm, comfortable, and work appropriate dress to wear to a gala event, and this was perfect! Fit like a glove. Paired it with sparkly boots (it was in Texas) and received so many compliments. 

Fit like a glove. I loved wearing it and got a ton of compliments. Comfortable for the most part- the shoulder pads wear a little tricky to keep up but otherwise great!

High slit but very classy dress. Shoulder pads give it some nice structure. If you’re between sizes, go up. Bronx and Banco seems to run a little small

I thought it would be fun to wear a dress with shoulder pads, but they kept shifting and felt awkward. The slit in this dress also needs to be pinned, as it goes all the way up to the waistline. This was the only dress I’ve ever worn to a gala that I didn’t get compliments on.

This dress is AMAZING. The huge shoulder pads create a slimming effect for the rest of the dress and it is super comfortable. A previous renter had left a safety pin in just the right spot to keep the slit from opening to the waist. It’s sassy, fun and made me feel good, all wins!

So many compliments! Great material, forgiving and created a lovely shape. The shoulder pads are big but it made the dress! I’d rent this again. 

As everyone else stated, the shoulder pads are ginormous. They feel really weird but they actually make the look of the dress and create a slimming appearance in the waistline; it’s magic ✨! The velvet material makes it warm for cold nights though the slit goes allll the way up; careful with that. The glittery feathers are gorgeous but they did ruin my fleece-lined stockings I wore with them when I went to see & Juliet in NYC on a cold night. Didn’t love that but now I know what this dress I capable of.
It was priced way down so I ended up buying it. I don’t know where I’ll wear it again but it was perfect for a Broadway show!

The one sleeve look usually isn’t my thing and this top didn’t make an exception, unfortunately. There’s nothing wrong with the top, I just realize this style isn’t for me. I had a hard time figuring out what to wear with it (wearing the Citizens of Humanity Samir’s Corset Jeans in the photos)
*daughter’s room has the best lighting so forgive the clutter in the background haha
