LOVED this dress!!!

This dress fit like a glove. I was initially worried about fastening it in the back because of the snug fit, but it was no problem with a little help from a friend. I even had a little extra room in the bodice to slip a couple bra cups in to give the girls a boost... the fit wasn't flattering without some support. The fabric on the inside was soft and comfortable, I was able to move around and dance easily. This dress was flattering and elegant. I highly recommend it!

The Dress of My Life!

I love everything about this dress and wish I could keep it forever but I just don't have anywhere else to wear it. It is so beautiful! I felt like a celebrity because I kept getting compliments and people asking me where I was going/coming from. It is so stunning! The boning is uncomfortable and left marks on me but I did not care because the dress was so gorgeous. I usually wear a 6 and had rented a 6 but the inside zipper (there are 2 zippers, one is hidden) would not go up over my strapless bra so I went with the 8. This dress is tight in the ribcage area.

This dress has seen better days

Both sizes that I received were shabby and worn. The dresses I normally get from RTR are usually very well kept and new looking, so I was very disappointed...especially since this dress in particular was $140. The dress did not meet my expectations and I would recommend that it be retired for a newer one.

Renting this dress was so easy and the best choice I ever made.

The dress was absolutely perfect in my opinion, it wasn't too long or tight or too short,. The dress was perfect to my fit and the measurements were accurate.

I was given compliments all night! It was very comfy to wear, and quite beautiful in person.

Fit was perfect. Length was perfect for 4 inch heels or higher. The bust fit without a bra. The dress arrived in great condition, too.

Stunning!

This was the second best dress I've worn, the first being my wedding dress. I wore it to a Masquerade Ball on New Year's Eve. It is lightweight and comfortable. The boobs are pointy, but perfect with a strapless bra. I received so many compliments. I absolutely loved the way I looked and felt in it, and my husband couldn't keep his hands off me. A truly beautiful dress!

GORGEOUS dress!!

I absolutely LOVED this dress! I rented it for a Gatsby themed party and it was perfect for the occasion! It was so comfortable and the fit was just right! Unlike most strapless dresses, I did not find myself pulling this dress up all night. I loved how unique and elegant this dress was compared to the other dresses I had considered in stores. I would certainly rent it again!

Stylist Review!

This gown is everything! Such high quality fabric. I usually wear a 0/2, but tried it on in a 4R so it was a little big in the stomach/bust area. I would say it runs true to size, but size up as your backup if need be! The regular length was good for my height (5'7" and barefoot). The mermaid cut is very flattering and hits your curves nicely. I would highly recommend this gown for a black tie affair!

Perfect dress!

The fit was great and the dress was absolutely gorgeous. The only problem was that the seams in the front of the dress made my chest look pointy. (It did smooth out a little with a strapless bra.) I did notice that the back up size that I ordered, a 4R, was not up to par. The hem was uneven and the tulle at the bottom was completely different from the 2R. Luckily, the 2R fit.

When people gagged on my elaganza

So when I first got the dress, it looked kinda dingy but still elegant. The bust was too big but i managed. Only downside was the dress' wire poked through the fabric and was stabbing me all night. On the upside i received endless compliments. I love this dress!

Gorgeous dress and fit my body perfectly!! The only issue I had was I should have ordered the long. I'm 5'7" and the regular length was a little short with my heels.

Oscar-worthy and romantic!!

My stylist at the Vegas store chose this dress for me to try on. It was the first I tried, and it was love at first sight! It was glamorous, but soft and romantic and fit for a princess. It was the perfect dress for the Oscars. The only thing is that when the dress arrived, it was shorter than the one I tried on. It just reached the floor without any shoes on, so unfortunately I had to run out and find some "fancy" sandals the morning of the show. Overall, it was exactly what I hoped for in a red carpet dress!! Love, love, love!!

Rented this dress for a themed military ball "Dancing through the ages" so I focused on the 1920s. It was so much fun! I loved the fit and the way the bottom looked! It was a showstopper for sure!

this dress gave me major Beauty and The Beast vibes

Gorgeous dress, made me feel like a princess on my prom night. The fit is a little iffy in the chest area I feel like it can make your boobs look a lil pointy to be honest but you cant really notice because of how pretty it is. Do not wear this dress dancing with other people though, the tulle at the bottom of the dress got ripped to shreds at the end of the night because it was constantly being stepped on and ripped at. I also had to wear massive platform heels to fit the length and it was still being stepped on throughout the night. Super wonderful and comfortable dress as long as you dont plan on doing anything other then standing and sitting.

I wanted to find a dress that was just perfect for my best friend's wedding. I loved this one!

The fit of the dress was literally perfect. I'm very glad I chose to have a backup size delivered just in case. The clasp on the back of the dress was broken, but it didn't really affect the fit of the dress at all. I loved how many compliments this dress received!

Complimented my figure, light, comfortable!

RTR is becoming so popular and I didn't reserve the dress I wanted soon enough because they were out so I "settled" for this one. However, this dress fit like a glove. The material is so light and comfortable and although it's a thin dress, it hid bulges and insecurities. The only downside is that the boobs look a little pointy in the dress from a profile view, but it something you could look past. RTR never fails even if it's a second choice dress.

This dress stood out during prom. It was classy and elegant and was just beautiful.

The dress fit beautifully. I'm small up top and wider on the bottom so I was worried the dress wouldn't fit. It was great at my hips. I thought it would be too tight but it fit great. The top was a little loose but it wasn't falling which was good I used some fashion tape and it stood up without a problem. The boob stitching is a little pointy but with a bra and fashion tape it helped it wasn't a big deal. It's a great dress. I recommend it to anyone. It really fits perfectly. I loved it and wish I could have kept it lol.

Beautiful And Comfortable

I rented this dress as a back up option for a fundraising gala. I loved the dress but it was a bit too formal for the occasion. I ended up wearing something more classic and subtle. This dress is the opposite of subtle but a total showstopper! I was impressed by the fit and comfort of the fabric. A must rent for the right occasion! Runs a little small as I am usually a 4 in dress size and the 6 fit perfectly.

Beautiful dress- perfect fit!

At 5'11", this dress was the perfect length for me in an 8L with mid-height (3") heels. The top was very flattering for a medium bust size (34C) and I did not need to wear a bra. I did wear spanx to help keep everything together in the mid-section, which was helpful. The material was great, not too heavy and not too hot. Beautiful gown--got lots of compliments!

The belle of the ball

Multiple people told me I looked like Belle from Beauty and the Beast. This dress is incredible. My backup dress was sized down, but I should've sized up, it was really snug in the chest. Unfortunately it came with ripped tulle and a missing eye closure on the hook and eye at the top. This is probably my favorite dress I've ever worn though. Truly stunning and flattering. Length was good with 4 inch heels, it floated just above the ground.

Gorgeous

When I first put this dress on, I honestly wasn't sure about. The fit seemed off to me, a little loose around my butt and stomach and the breast cups were horribly pointy. The bottom tulle is also a bit poofier than it looks in the picture. In the picture it also looks more gold and creamish, when it is actually a more gold and light beige-ish, though that wasn't a big deal. I almost traded the size O for a 4 and am very glad I didn't as even the extra size 2 I had gotten was way too loose. BUT, I figured out that if I stuck a bra in between the part that held the cups up and the fabric the nipple pointyness went away. With that gone the other unsureties seemed moot. Once I had the whole ensemble together; hair, makeup, accessories, this dress was absolutely GORGEOUS. The fit now seemed fantastic. The top part fit beautifully, accentuating my petite hour glass shape and really making my breasts look great too. A lot of strapless gowns will have all that extra space, but this one really hugged me and even gave me a little modest cleavage. The fabric, color, and design is high quality and beautiful. I am not exaggerating when I say I really had the most beautiful dress there. I received several compliments, and caught even more looking. I was really sad to take this dress off, and even more sad to send it away. I would love to own this dress.

This dress is truly stunning and comfortable! The 4R was the only size available and was too big. I usually wear a 0/2. I did have to keep pulling the dress up all night, but it was a small price to pay for such a gorgeous gown. Would highly recommend renting this dress!

Overnight shipped this dress! Excellent customer service!

Okay let me start by saying this dress is stunning! The pictures do not do it justice. That being said I couldn't wear it. This was the only size available to rent. My usual size is a size 10. I was swimming in this dress through the hips and could barely zip the bust. It was so tight I couldn't breath. This dress is NOT for busty girls. The cups are just not made for a full chest even if you size up to get more room. If you are small or even average busted this dress would be true to size and perfect. I put this in with 5 inch heels and it was still several inches too long. I did not wear it mostly do to the poor fit through the bust. Wanted to love this dress as it's gorgeous. Just couldn't. RTR was great to work with though. I gave it four stars because there was no mention in the fit description of the small bust. It'd have been a 5 hands down if it'd have fit me.

odd fit through the chest

I gave it the two stars because despite how amazing and gorgeous this dress was, i couldn't get over the issue with the stitching through the chest. adding a bra helped round them out, but they were still pointy and i just couldn't get over feeling like madonna in them :(

First choice. Went with second dress this one is weird

I loved how it looked, but too small on chest, flattens it, and too big on the bottom. I am usually a 2-4 and they fit fine, not this one. Maybe for big butt and normal chest but if you are petite with bigger than C cup forguet it.

Beautiful but ran a little short

It was beautiful! I really wished I was able to wear it. My issue was with the length. It came up pretty short at the front and you can see ankle and shoes which I didn't like. I'm 5'6 and that was with both 0R and 2R.
