Stunning! Everyone had something to say :)

Ordered the 2R and 0P and wore the 0P because it was just the right length with heels and had a nice snug fit. The 2R felt a little lose. I usually wear a 2 or 4 in bottoms but in dresses I'm usually a size smaller.

Overall, I thought this dress looked pretty and made me feel fancy and lady-like (but not old).

This dress fit true to size. I am 5 ft. 2 inches tall and weigh 105 lbs. I typically wear a 00, 00P or 0P. This dress was slightly big for me, mostly in the bust area, but nothing was revealed that should have been concealed. I used fashion tape to shorten the bottom of the dress a bit.

I felt amazing in this dress! Would totally wear it over and over!

The darker fabric is slightly stretchy, so there's a little give in the hips. A little fraying at the neckline, but it wasn't super noticeable.

The beading details of this gown are beautiful & the fabric weight is great for a winter event

Everything fit great! My only tip would be to strategically pick out a bra for this one. The front has a deep plunge so most bra options wont work. You will either need to find a bra that accommodates deep plunging neck lines or just some petals.

Classy and sexy!

This dress was a show stopper! So many compliments and it was very comfortable! The bottom material has a lot of give which is helpful for sitting and dancing. The embellishment at the top was beautiful and just enough cleavage. You don't need to accessorize much the dress pretty much works on its own!

Best, most flattering dress EVER!!!

This dress was PHENOMENAL! I felt like a million bucks all night long. So comfy, classy, and great coverage too. Absolutely would recommend this dress to anyone! I'm not super tall but I ordered the long so I could wear heels (apprx. 3 inches) and with my shoes, the dress was the perfect length and just brushed the floor. Wasn't sure if I'd be a 6 or a 4 so got both and quite honestly, they both fit, but I wore the 6 just because it felt comfier and had more wiggle room. Seriously LOVED this dress!!!!!

It's effortlessy worn. Didn't need any help with tucking in the lumps. It's so comfortable.

The fit is perfect. It was a bit longer for me but with 3 inches hills I did just fine.

It was elegant yet sexy with low cut cleavage. I am 5'1" and with heels the dress fit perfectly but one 1" either way, it would have dragged on floor.

GWU Inaugural Ball 2017.

This dress is a miracle worker. I'm normally a size 8 or 10, but I listened to the reviews and ordered a 4R with a backup 6R. The 4R fit moderately well, but the 6R was absolutely perfect. It hid my midsection, which I appreciated, and didn't draw too much attention to my thighs either. I also have a large chest (36DD), and the bejeweled panel did an excellent job of keeping everything tight and in place. I loved this dress so much! A real knockout for any occasion, and pretty comfortable to dance in, as well.

STYLIST REVIEW:THIS DRESS IS A MUST RENT!!!

LADIES!!! This dress is the best dress I have EVER rented from RTR and I rent A LOT!! This dress fit perfectly, was flattering and so very comfortable. If I could have purchased it I would have, I did;t want to let it go!!! Fits very true to size but the illusion front is very revealing so the bra situation was a little challenging but a low cut strapless or sticky bra would be perfect. Compliments for days in this dress...RENT IMMEDIATELY :)

Didn't want to take it off!

This was my first RTR experience and it was fantastic. I'm 6'1", so I was wary about finding a black tie gown that would be long enough. I got a 12L and it fit great. I'm 170lbs, average athletic build. With heels on, it hit just above the floor. The slit on the left added some romance to the dress. I got compliments all night and felt like a million bucks. Photos don't do it justice. I have small boobs, so it was easy to go braless. The material/lining/beading in the front is thick enough where you don't necessarily need a sticky/backless bra. Overall fantastic dress!

I am normally a 6, wore the 4R and it was perfect. The dress was comfortable and had so much give, so I had good range of movement. Perfect wedding dress for a black tie or formal event.

The dress does not have hanger appeal but it is a dream when you put it on. It's flattering flawless and chic. It was perfect for my sisters wedding. The 8 fit fine but the 10 was just more comfy. Normally I am between an 8-10

I wore this to a black tie wedding in NYC, it was absolutely the perfect dress for the occasion!!!

I usually wear a 2 or a 4 pending the designer, but the zero happened to fit perfectly. The dress is so stunning in person, very flattering and extremely comfortable. I received compliments all night. I can't recommend renting this dress enough! I will definitely wear this designer again.

This dress is a winner!!

Such a beautiful gown! I received so many compliments. The fit and material is very flattering as well as comfortable. I am usually a 4L but the 2L fit much better since I have a smaller chest. The beading is beautiful and the peplum gives a lovely silhouette. I would definitely recommend!

So comfortable and chic!

I actually received the dress as a back up for my original dress which had complications in sending. After receiving so many compliments throughout the night and loving the dress, I couldn't imagine wearing the other original choice. I loved the fit of the gown and the amount of sparkle. It was a very comfortable fit and you don't have to shave your armpits! I definitely recommend this dress and rent the runway it was a great process !

Stunning! A+ Rental

Pros: perfect for a formal affair, peplum is a nice touch over the mid-section, fabric is form fitting but moveable, top of the dress is a statement so you don't need a lot of jewelry Cons: I'm 5' 8" and the L was a little too long for my 2" heels... if you plan to wear more than 2" heels at my height, go for the L. If not, go for the R.

Amazing dress!

This dress is stunning! I received so many compliments. I wore it to an Inaugural Ball. I'm 5'3 and the length was great. I was able to wear a kitten heel with this dress, but for another Marchesa dress I rented, I had to wear a 4" heel. So if you are shorter like myself, just be prepared to adjust your heel height accordingly or get hem tape. This dress was not as revealing as it may look. I wore a NuBra with this dress which you can find on Amazon. It was perfect. Take a chance on the dress. You won't regret it!

STYLIST REVIEW

YES TO THE RUFFLED SPLIT! This dress is as gorgeous as it looks. It's so elegant and beautiful and literally makes you feel good all over. It runs very true to size, but go one size up for back up. It is great for any bust size and has comfortable room at the bust and throughout the midsection. Definitely wear a strapless bra since the lace is so detailed up top. The fabric does have some stretch, however you can wear spanx to make bring it all in. Must rent this dress.

Mediocre fit on me

According to some reviews this dress ran large so I ordered an 8L (normally a 10) to try on for a future formal event. The top portion is beautiful however the peplum bottom was kind of swallowed up by any background. If that makes sense. Still a lovely dress

Great dress but delicate

The original dress I received had a damaged neckline that had been repaired and looked crooked - not surprising because the material is very delicate. I promptly received a new dress in the same size and I'm so glad because it looks amazing. Perfect black tie dress, no need for anything but simple jewelry and a cute shoe - the slit shows off your shoe perfectly. Loved it.

Beautiful and very elegant dress

The fabric and design of the dress is very elegant and classy, received many compliments. I'm 5'4" and the regular length was perfect using heels. My waist is around 27-28 inches and size 6 was a bit loose, a size 4R would have fitted much better. Because of the cleavage I had to wear self additive bra cups that I bought here at RTR, nothing uncomfortable. The opening in the bottom side is gorgeous and is not very revealing (it goes up to the knee). Very recommended.
