Rent it!

Such a gorgeous number! Can adjust the straps to fit how you please. Wore for a ballet Gala but I think it would work really well for a wedding too.

Perfect dress for a wedding

This dress is magical the sway of the pleated dress moves with your body I had to double check how the model was wearing it because at first I wore it as a halter... but the way it is shown fit perfect and was never falling off.

beautiful

I almost looked like the bride myself. This is great for any formal affair. Can be tied multiple ways to suit your body type. I went for a bigger size so i could have the droop down my back. but it definitely hides any dinner pouch. Really a stunning dress. im 5'4' and i could've gotten away with flats, in my opinion a perfect dress to dance in and walk up stairs without tripping. i didn't have to steam it either. a hang over night and the pleats sorted themselves out.

Beautiful (but booby)

This dress is absolutely stunning - I received so many compliments on it. It has beautiful movement in the skirts and the straps provide great support. Heads up though, if you are well endowed in the chest department, the dress definitely showcases that.

Prepared to be admired

Im pear shaped so my just is small but my waist and hips are wider. I should have went up to a size 16 to breathe but the 14 didn't bust the seams so 😂. The dress is designed for movement. Each stride I took, the dress flows beautifully you will feel like a goddess. I'm y'all so I wish it was longer but it's a common problem I have.

Belle of the Ball!

This dress is stunning and the pics do not do it justice. I am 5’6, 34DD, 175lbs and wore a 14 regular with 4in heels. There is no give on the waist band and you will need pasties or boob tape but it is big boob friendly. Nothing but compliments the entire evening.

I was GLOWING!

This dress is a show stopper - I received so many compliments at a gala I attended. The material is very breathable and comfy - and the chest has support with the tie at the neck. I was able to go braless, which was amazing.

I rented this beautiful dress for my daughter, and we're absolutely thrilled! The fit was perfect, and she felt like a princess. She received countless compliments throughout the event. The dress was well-made, comfortable, and exactly as pictured.

Glam Gown

Gorgeous dress with adjustable tie straps. Required me to use double sided tape and a sticky bra so keep this in mind or it will be nip city, sweeties. I am 5'6" and this was a little shorter than I would have liked but still passed with 2" heels. Would recommend for a fancy summer wedding or winter gala. Super versatile.

Perfect for a formal wedding

I'm 5'-3" and I was worried this would be too long, but it worked well. Overall the dress was large on me compared to the sizing chart, but the design made this very essy to hide. I would definitely wear it again.

Old Hollywood Glam!

The color & fabric felt so old Hollywood glamorous & chic! I think this dress has a lot of flexibility in fit due to the tie/straps. It was so cold so I had to wear a cream jacket most of the night but it was STUNNING. The fabric just spilled all over in the most beautiful way. I put in a few pounds and this dress was very forgiving and I felt beautiful!

Beautiful!

Wore this to a wedding 5 months postpartum. Really forgiving fit for any possible insecurities - for me right now, it's the lower belly. This is the first time I received a dress from RTR with tags! Beautiful dress - love the length. Probably could have sized down but I'm still struggling to figure out my size these days. I did not wear a bra.

Tight on top, photographed beautifully, ties nicely

At 183 lbs I wore the XXL, and I will say that it barely zipped in the back. It was tiiiggght. Once it zipped, there was some back fat pushed out because of how tight it was back there. But other than that, it was (very) loose fit everywhere else. I was a huge fan of the ties, which go around the neck and then the waist and then ties in back. I liked the way it photographed. I thought it was cute. I enjoyed wearing it. But the XXL for this dress is a UK 16, a US 12… so tight on top of you’re sized similar to me.

Fabulous!

This dress was a dream. I wore it for my daughter’s wedding. The long straps allow you to tie it however you want, covering more or less. I got so many compliments on this dress. I asked for an 8 and 10 (my normal sizes). I received an M and an L. I wore the L. I have no idea what L equates to, but I think this dress ran small.

I felt so amazing in this dress, and received lots of compliments — including “dark haired Marilyn Monroe”. Definitely needed boob tape and double sided tape, but felt very secure despite a night of energetic dancing. Would definitely consider buying - I was comfortable and felt amazing!!

Worth stepping out of your comfort zone

Decided to take a chance on a dress out of my comfort zone and it was so worth it. I wore it to a formal wedding and it was perfect. I felt amazing in this dress and got so many compliments. The fabric is comfortable and it has some weight to it which made it seem more formal and less prone to wrinkles. The fit was good and I liked that it was flowy. The only issue I had was zipping the back - no matter where I tried to zip it (above hips, below ribs), I struggled. I did eventually get it zipped and despite the struggle, it did not actually feel like it was tight all night. Kind of a weird quirk. The muted gold is really chic. The ribbon is very long so you can tie it however you want, but I copied the style on the model. I wore pasties and a little boob tape, but I probably could have done without the tape since I tied the top pretty tight. I thought it was better to be safe than sorry. I paired the dress with gold jewelry, a nude clutch, and nude heels to not take away from the dress. Overall, I highly recommend this dress. If you are like me who typically sticks to dresses that are black, require a bra, and have sleeves, I encourage you to try it. You won’t regret it.
