The most flattering shape, easiest zipper, the right waist structure, and simply the most comfortable dress. Being petite, I didn't even have to worry about the length 

I LOVED the look of this dress, and so did the other wedding guests! I kept getting told how much it was unlike anything else that anyone was wearing. With the earrings and bag also coming from RTR, it all just worked. It’s a little snug in the booty, so I had to size up. Even then, it was difficult to gracefully sit down at times, but it was worth it and easier than expected to dance in.

This dress is gorgeous. It fit just right. It hugs your curves and the ruffle at the bottom adds some drama. For how fitted it is, it was fairly comfortable. The only problem is you cannot pull it up to use the restroom. You have to completely unzip and take it down. Other than that the dress was amazing and I got a ton of compliments. 

This dress met my expectations! Loved the built in support for upper body, with the adjustable straps. Definitely felt confidently tucked in and cute! The fit around the hips (down to the knees) was a bit snug. Made it challenging to get in and out of a car, and challenging to lift up during a potty break… But the look was fabulous and I got many looks and compliments. Will definitely rent again.

Best for a small frame as I am slender and it was a tight fit. The small was too small but the medium, just right. Keep in mind you’ll need to take small steps in this dresses due to the tapered style. 

Dress material and fit is fantastic.. I am a six and the dress was a little tight.. hard to sit down in.. I suggest sizing up if you are in between sizes..

This dress fit me just right meaning I could probably have sized up to be more comfortable, but still felt so good in this size! Hugs your body perfectly and long on me for my height but wore high heels (probably like 4 inches) and still an inch longer but managed. It’s such a beautiful dress, would love to wear again

Beautiful! This dress made me feel beautiful and like I had curves. I got so many compliments at the wedding I wore it to. The quality is also amazing.

Loved the adjustable straps and shaping bodice on top. A little give in the stomach was nice, I didn’t have to wear shapewear. The colors were vibrant and the black material is velvet and a nice touch. Received so many compliments. If I could live in this dress I would! 

Loved this dress, looked & felt like a red carpet gown, but just a lil too tight and no stretch so I could barely sit or bend over. Top part was like a corset and nice adjustable straps so didn’t really need a bra.

Glad I went with the size down - fit fine in the chest - if I went with the large the sleeves were falling down. Didn't need a bra and I am normally 34 DDD. It was the teeniest bit long and I had 3" heels but I got a ton of compliments

Not a good option of you want to get down and dance. Otherwise, love the fit and pattern. Got great compliments 

This was my initial choice and a verrry close 2nd option for a California vineyard wedding in October. It is very form-fitting, as the other reviews mention. I felt very pretty and curvy in it. Recommend!

I got so many compliments. This dress is so pretty!!!!!

Sooo flattering on my butt and waist. There is a slip like material underneath that is tight though, made dancing and even getting into a car a little difficult. 

This dress was GREAT.  I have a couple of other Dress the Population dresses that I wear in size M, but based on other reviews, I sized up.  This was fitted, and I didn't need a bra, and I got tons of compliments at a black tie wedding in NY in May.  Five stars.

My boobs *just* fit in this dress, but surprisingly I still loved the dress and enjoyed wearing it. Got compliments, though I’m not 100% sure I could have actually danced in it or anything. Perfect length with moderate heels, too. 

This was my back-up style so I didn’t end up wearing it. The size medium fit fine and I was able to zip up. When I sat down, it would feel a little tight so I was nervous about the zipper popping open if I did end up wearing this for the night. The black part of the dress is velvet- you’re not able to tell by the photos. I would definitely wear this style but in a size L - it’s really gorgeous and flattering! 

This dress was beautiful and comfortable. Was structured enough that the bust so I didn’t have to wear a bra. I wore this to a Gala/fundraiser. I also ordered the XL and it was tight on my ribs/bust so i went with the XXL 

I went with a medium (one size up for me) based on other reviews and it worked great. I’m bigger chested, so the extra space was perfect & gave some breathing room to dance/avoid spanx! I could wear a skinny strap bra with it. Highly recommend!! 

Rented this gown for a fundraising gala event.  It runs small and has no stretch.   I did order the large dress as a backup option, however, I was swimming in the large.  I wore the medium.   Navigating stairs was tough.   Able to sit and dance without issues.   Able to wear without bra due to boning, but if you choose, the thick straps will allow you to wear a regular bra.   Will hug your curves, perfect if you are an hourglass-shaped gal.

I wore this dress to a charity gala and received compliments all night. It’s a beautiful dress. Very high quality. The black on this dress is a velvet material, which made it perfect for a winter event even though it is sleeveless. 

I usually wear a 10-12. I wore this in a L petite. It was very very fit. Could sit in it but if I were even an inch bigger, it would not have worked. I think an XL petite would have been better but the size wasn’t available. Length was perfect. Worn with 3 in heels. I’m 5’1”

I am 5'2, 145lbs and a very large bust. I haven't not worn a bra with something since I was in my early 20s which is 20 yrs ago. But i was shocked how not only did I not need a bra, every part of this dress hugged all the curves perfectly and I felt very secure. I got a ton of compliments on the dress. The only thing which isnt that terrible, and i had known from other reviews was that you have to unzip and take the entire dress down to go to the bathroom. I basically just made sure a friend was with me to finish zipping me back up after I went! Overall LOVED this dress!

Wore a small petite and lengthwise it was perfect with my 5'3'' height and 3 inch heels.

Now, the top part was TIGHT. I'm a 34C. There's no way this would have fit if I was a 35 or more.  But it fit.

Hard to move and dance but doable! It was worth it though. 

This dress is so fun and so flattering. Not having to wear a bra with it as someone who is pretty busty was nice. If I were to buy it I would want it to be a little longer, but it didn't seem crazy short with a small heel.
