Loved this!

Wore it to a Colorado September wedding, and I loved it. Many compliments and this dress was a keeper! Could have sized down as material is stretchy, but this worked just fine. A lot of fabric at the top that I had to hide with a belt. Perfect for larger-chested ladies!

Gorgeous dress!

This dress was sooo pretty! Paired it with black suede thigh high boots. It didn’t ride up and was very comfortable. Would 100% rent again!

Award-worthy dress

Wore this fun, funky, ultra -comfortable number for an awards event at work and stood out in the best possible way, even when blending in with the fabric wall covering at the venue. Runs a wee bit large on top, but not an issue. Expect compliments and conversations if you step out in this dress!

Sexy but comfortable

This looked meh on the hanger but once i put it on it fit like a glove! Stretchy and comfortable and love the color and fabric. There's a little bit of ruching on the waist that hid my pooch lol which was bonus! Would definitely rent again!

Fall wedding perfection

I wore this dress for a fall wedding welcome party and I couldn't have made a better choice. The color is rich and the details make it pop in photos. I got so many compliments on this dress! It looks sleek and chic without being too tight or short. Looks and feels luxurious -- rent this dress, you won't regret it!

This dress was super comfortable. Perfect for a fall wedding. I received many compliments.

I have an athletic build so I'm always concerned about my back and arms fitting into dresses and cute tops, this dress had plenty of room to spare. I also like that the bottom hugged my curves but wasn't super tight, so it didn't ride up when walking and dancing. I'm 5' tall for reference.

hot damn

I cannot say enough good things about this dress. It made me feel like a million bucks. The texture, the color, the curves. This was the perfect fall/winter going out dress. And so comfortable to wear. Would buy or rent again in a heartbeat

Perfect fall dress

The color of this dress is great! I had so many eyeshadows to pair well with it. It's very lightweight so it's better for a fall day rather than winter. I was surprised to find it had shoulder pads! Very comfy though.

Wore this to a rehearsal dinner party in Santa Fe in November and it was perfect. It was comfortable but has a bodycon fit. Rouched fabric was nice to pull and place where I wanted it.

This was the third runner up of 6 that I tried on for a winter ball. I loved the color, but thought it would work better for a fall event. I will rent it again!

Elegant and classic

This is a conservative cut dress but draped beautifully and the fabric is lux! It feels expensive and I loved it for feeling fancy in the winter. Nicole Miller tends to run a tiny hit big so air on the side of sizing down

Very comfortable, chic, and light weight!

I absolutely loved this dress and got tons of compliments throughout the evening. It was perfect for the NYE wedding I went to, and surprisingly light weight - I tend to run warm and did not get overheated all evening. Unfortunately, RTR only sent me my back up size (2) and it was a little too big. Luckily the dress is clingy so I was able to make it work!

Very comfortable, has a good amount of stretch to it, thick so it hides midsection better than I thought it would. I loved it with my tights and booties.

So flexible

Wore to a fall wedding, was able to fit a size 2 though I’m usually a 4 because the fabric gave just enough. So flexible and comfortable. I’m broad-shouldered and the shoulder pads weren’t too much either. Can be dressed up or down as needed!

Unique Fall Outfit

So comfortable! The fabric is so soft on the inside. The shoulder pads create a sliming triangle shape (shoulders to waist). Love the length paired with thigh high boots.

Perfect fall vibe. Classy and sexy. Stretchy and comfy. I wore the 6, and it fit great but was wondering if the 4 would’ve been more tailored for me.

Lots of compliments from strangers

The shiny velvet appliqués on this dress were definitely a standout! I found the waist to be a bit baggy, so I added a black belt that helped to define my waist a bit more. Wore it out on the town in San Diego and was very happy with it! Was definitely a hit - got compliments from several strangers on it.

Would recommend

I want to say this runs slightly big, but it may also just be the blouse-like style in the top. The skirt portion is snug but not constricting. I would say I'm a true 4 in dress size but the 2 was perfect. Winter wedding so I wore with tights but this would have been equally stunning without. I got several compliments on this dress!

Sooo comfortable and so many compliments!

Fabric is weighted enough to hang nicely but not too hot. It was a little big on me - if you’re between sizes, I’d go with the smaller one :)
