My Wedding Dress

I got married in this dress and purchased it. It is gorgeous! I did not have to wear a bra which was nice and I always have to wear a bra. The dress is well made and has a combination of sequins and soft detailing. Straps are adjustable.

This dress fit perfectly on my curvy body. I received so many compliments and was comfortable all night. It was even the perfect length for my short frame. Highly recommend!

Good fit

The dress was beautiful and had a lot of compliments on it. It fit in all the right places. It did run a bit long but it worked out with heels. The purchase and return was super easy I will use this again :)

Nice evening dress

Nice evening dress with slimming effect. Wore it on the cruise for formal night dinner. Perfect fit for my body and with medium hight heels. Could be styled as simple wedding dress as well.

Simply Beautiful!

I rented 3 dresses to choose from for a formal affair. This one fit perfectly was very flattering, and was comfortable. I ended up wearing a different dress to the event, but, I will rent this one again when needed.

Beautiful Dress

My daughter wore this dress for our New Year's photos and it fit her very well. The dress is much more beautiful in real life and DTP is one of my favorite designers. For reference, my daughter is 5'7", 32A, 26 waist. With heels, the dress just brushed the floor. Would definitely rent this dress.

Gorgeous!

Ok, y'all, I tried on so many dang 'wedding gowns' that just didn't fit 'right' or had to be altered every which way which would just be more and more $$, and I was frustrated to the point of exhaustion. Then, when I was looking on RTR for a reception dress, I found this gem! It was the perfect (not-a-wedding) dress for me - I am so excited to report that it fit like it was made for me (proportions + length) and needed no alterations (I did wear "lift pasties" to add a bit of oomph to the chest). Fyi, the sequins around the underarms can be irritating - just don't change your shoes a bunch of times with the dress on (like me). Also, in one of my photos, you can see I paired it with an off-white moto-style jacket to show that it can be dressed up or down. The white sequins sparkle as a nice contrast to the beige background, but it was not flashy or over-the-top at all. It made the perfect winter wedding dress for me, and I am so happy to have found it on RTR.

Gorgeous gown!

Beautiful gown! Runs a bit smaller as I had to exchange the medium for a large in order for it to fully zip up. Flattering, looks closer to white but not quite. Beautiful details.

Dress shapes well and hides some imperfections

Dress The Population white lace gown—Small Regular: The fabric shapes your body and provides mild tummy control—I wore a Spanx skirt to help. I have a pear shape and experienced slight bunching in the small of my back. Other than that, I was very happy with it. I did not need a bra (I have implants, 32D). The length was perfect for my 5’ 3”, 122 lb frame. The XS would have been too tight.

This dress was amazing! So many compliments!

I’m usually a 12 but chose to have a 12 and 14 delivered. The larger one fit comfortably. The slip in the front had to be pinned up with safety pins at the bottom because it hung down past the dress (just in the front). I wore this to my daughter’s wedding and it was perfect! I’m about 5’6” and wore about an inch heel. Perfect length! It arrived a day earlier than expected, so that was great (just in case I had to go buy a dress). I’m 55 years old and think I pulled this off well. I’ve always had great luck with RTR!!

Tight to zip but surprisingly mobile!

I was torn on what size to get as I’m really between 4 and 6, but I chose the Small. It was a struggle to zip, but once it was on it fit like a glove. Easy to sit and walk in. Such a beautiful dress. Slightly bridal but also just nice for a formal occasion. Though this was worn just for funsies at a bar lol

So many people stopped to compliment this dress

This dress was beautiful and flattering. I was stopped by 6 strangers walking to the restaurant so it was a good choice. It is not easy to zip up but once you get it zipped it’s comfortable to wear though I would size up if you are fitting a larger chest or you have a larger rib cage. Rent this and be ready for the compliments!

Beautiful gown

Wonderful gown that definitely got lots of compliments. I usually wear a 6 and had to go with the medium over small. I did not need a bra which was great! It was form fitting in the tight places but not tight at all! Is order it again for sure.

Dress for City Hall Wedding

I wore this to my legal wedding ceremony at city hall! We are headed to Costa Rica for our wedding with family and friends but needed to be legally married before heading out. This dress made me feel beautiful. We did a photo shoot after the ceremony and I was definitely getting stares, but in a good way. Was a tad tight in the rib cage but not too bad.

so elegant

this dress made me feel really beautiful. it came up my hips with less than an inch of clearance and the zipper just made it up the small of my back—but once i got it on it was comfy! i’d say it fit perfectly apart from being a bit on the long side. even in platforms i had to hold my dress not to trip over it.

so many compliments!

wore this dress twice!! once to my bachelorette and again at my couples shower. the detailing on it is superb, and many people thought it was an actual wedding dress. it is tight in the chest area around the rib cage, but i would say it’s true to size. when i first put it on i wasn’t sure it would be comfortable to sit in but it ended up being great, just a little tight.

Fit like a glove and felt like a movie star all night. THIS is the dress you should rent.

Dress is a little snug but has some stretch to it making it very comfortable. I would get a second size up just to be on the safe side but you're not going to regret renting this one!

Gorgeous dress - lots of compliments!

This was my back up look, but I ended up wearing it to my event because it fit like a glove and was so beautiful in person! When I saw it online, I was worried the beige color would wash me out or look nude because of my skin tone. However, the beige color is darker than it shows in the stock photos so that wasn’t a problem. The only complaint I have is the sequins rubbed under my arms by the end of the night, but it didn’t bother me enough that I wouldn’t wear it again. I wore 3 inch heels and it was a little longer than I’d like. I was able to make due by picking it up a little if I was walking a longer distance. Wish it came in petite lengths, but love, love, love this dress!

Beautiful dress true to size

I am petite and wear size 2 so the sizing was true to size (ordered regular 2). Although the length was tad long even with 4 inch heels on (I had to gather my dress whenever walking). Probably perfect length for those taller than 5’3. It’s a beautiful dress and I received so many compliments…almost feels like a wedding dress as the white sequins really stands out from the beige,

Was a smidge long for my 5'2" frame but 3 inch heels would've been perfect. Rented for my wedding anniversary and it was perfect for that occasion. Structured enough that I didn't feel I needed a bra and danced all night and felt comfortable.

Great quality and length!

This dress didn’t zip up super easily on me, but once it did it fit great! Kept my boobs secured and was thick enough that I didn’t need any type of bra.
