Classic and elegant

Beautiful gown for black tie reception. It is definitely long- I wore 4in heels and I have long legs and the sides were still dragging. It was the look so I didn't mind. It certainly felt long once I took my shoes off for the dance floor though!

Gorgeous maternity-friendly dress for a formal event

I wore this dress 32 weeks pregnant to a formal event and loved it! The skirt cut is fun, although long on the sides, so walk carefully. The fabric flows beautifully as seen in the photo. Only thing is that I wish the bust portion was roomier. I sized up one size from my usual pre-pregnancy size and barely squeezed into the zipper. Would recommend maybe 2 sizes up if you’re looking to wear this your third trimester of pregnancy!

Obsessed

I had seen this exact dress/brand on revolve, but not ready to pay full price for it. I’m happy I got to try it out first for a wedding, because I am obsessed. It’s stunning and fit perfectly.

Gorgeous black tie gown

So stunning and glamorous! Wore to a black tie wedding and received compliments all night. Would highly recommend. Two things to note — 1) The dress runs a bit on the small side. I usually take a 2 or 4, and the 6 fit perfectly. 2) One little complaint I have is that the fabric pulls a bit at the back where the zipper is because it’s not detached from the lining. It’s not super noticeable but it bothered me

This dress was perfect for a black tie wedding. The top has boning, which helped it stay up the entire night! Only callout is that it is quite long

Ethereal Gothic Princess

I loved how flowy the gown is. The hem is an interesting high-low with the sides of the dress being longer than the center. Very nice touch. The dress also has structured boning in the bodice which was so nice. I did safety pin the inner lining of the dress to my strapless bra to help keep it up. That was a very helpful solution which saved me from pulling the dress up all night.

Beautiful dress!

The material and silhouette of this dress is perfect. There’s a sturdy corset underneath that keeps up the bodice! The style is (and is supposed to be) floor length. I wore this to a wedding so the length made moving/dancing difficult, but I’m 5’3” so if you’re any taller than that it’d be perfect!

This dress was EVERYTHING. Fit perfectly but wasn’t too tight even after a full dinner. I am a 34 B and the top stayed up through the night even while dancing. I will definitely be ordering again.

Great very elegant

LOVED this dress. Considered buying it. However, it was very long (dragged and I am 5 7’ and was wearing 2.5 inch heels). Does have a corset inside of it which makes it not as forgiving on sizing as you would think.

Perfect black tie dress

Photos do NOT do it justice - i got 7 compliments in the bathroom prior to the wedding ceremony where I wore this. Perfect for black tie. Inside of dress up top has boning inside so keeps the top structured. I’m 5’10 and this was long on me in the back - a bit shorter in the front, so shorter gals beware. So fun to dance in highly recommended!

Unusual, comfy and modern

I’m 5’7” and a 32D-DD depending on the time of month and this dress toned down the girls (which I like). I went with a size 6 but probably should’ve gone with a size 4. I did find myself pulling up the gown but it wasn’t a big deal. I liked how modern and unusual it was. Paired with my husband’s tux perfectly!

comfortable and stays up!

the structure at the top of this dress keeps it up. with other strapless dresses that I’ve worn, I’ve had to keep pulling it up all night, but this one was a great fit! like others have said, it is very long on the sides. I thought it wouldn’t be as much for me being 5’9”, but it was. didn’t cause any issues with walking though since it is higher in the front and back! I felt comfortable walking, dancing, talking, and eating in this!

Beautiful dress! A little big on my chest 34A and very long but perfect with heels. Normally a 4 but got a 6 bc only size avail. 4 probably would’ve fit better. Used fashion tape and worked well

Beautiful black tie dress!

I wore this to a NYE wedding while 7 months pregnant. I wasn’t sure on sizing and I could have sized down one but the size 14 still worked. I am a size 6 pre-pregnancy. The dress was forgiving of the baby bump, flattering and fun to dance in!

Super comfortable and versatile dress. It’s pretty long if you’re shorter

The train is longer but gives off an elegant effect and was totally fine with the length being 5’2” in 3 inch heels. Had to pick it up to walk on stairs but other than that was great and got so many compliments! Very comfy and easy to style

Absolute stunner

I wear size 12 which did fit, but if you are smaller chested like me, I would suggest a size down for a tighter fit as it was just a little loose on the top. I had to keep pulling it up all night. Other than that this is THE MOST stunning dress. I received endless compliments. 100% would rent again.

Gorgeous but long!

I had so much fun wearing this dress! I received compliments all night. It is very long and I would say a tad big. I made it work with fashion tape to my bra and I wore tall heels but I still had to hold it up when I walked. I still give it a 10/10!

Must wear dress!

This was SUCH a good rent. Wore it for a black tie gala in NYC and it was a big hit - so many compliments. It fit perfectly for me, I’m usually somewhere between a 2-4 and a 2 was just the right size. It’s long though & has a bit of a train so if you’re on the shorter side like me (5’4”) you’ll definitely need heels. Top fit well for me (smaller chested side) but adding some fashion tape to hold didn’t hurt. Loved this dress and hope I can rent it again!!

Team RTR Review - FAV GOWN EVER

The whole bust area is lined with a full bustier structure so you don't need to wear a bra! Huge win! The v- shape hemline is longer on the sides so it was a GREAT option if you're tall - short girls beware
