Perfect for a black tie work event!

Absolutely loved this dress! Comfortable, flattering, tasteful & classy - I wore this for a black tie work party and got so many compliments. Danced the night away in it with no problems, and fits true to size.

Fit was perfect, more lovely in person

This dress was so easy to wear. You could glam it up with shoes and accessories, or make it a bit more casual (like wearing with black boots). I tend to be a bit more conservative so I wore a black cami under the dress cause the v was a little too revealing for me, but this was a great dress. It's also has more sparkle than what shows on the pic.

Solid holiday dress.

Wasn’t my first choice but definitely a solid backup for my work holiday party. The clasp on the chest lets you make it as modest or less depending on your personal preference.

Gorgeous dress!

I loved this dress! It showed off all of my curves! The snap in the front was a little weird so I was happy to wear the 8 that didn't have it. I got so many compliments!!! I wore it for a Chamber casino night!

I was worried about finding a dress that would fit over my growing baby bump at the time. This fit around it, worked perfectly!

LOVED everything about this dress

Perfect fit, flatters your waistline perfectly. I am 5'11 and the length was perfect for me, but might be too long if you're shorter. I have a really small chest and this dress flattered it well. Overall loved the fun sparkle detail and I would definitely rent this again!

Sparkly, comfy with a little bit of flair

It was a comfortable fit, nothing was too tight or constricting. The v cut was sexy but not too extreme. The sparkles would have made it a good dress for New Year's Eve. I would def wear again

This dress is WOW

This was my 3rd replacement! RTR was so helpful and sent this dress the morning of my event. This dress fit great. I have a mommy tummy and this gif it well. It does have a deep V, but I was ok with it, it made the girls look good. The material has stretch to it and I was able to move. I am a size 12 in dresses, 36ddd, and 12 in bottoms. I could have gone with a size 10, which I think would have been a 44 in this size.

Wore for girls dinner, it was extremely comfortable and flattering reciprocally of sitting for an extended period of time. Sparkles did shed but might have been because it had never been worn...

Comfortable, cute, just a bit tired

I was very comfortable all evening in this dress. This dressed stretched and hugged with a cut that I think would be flattering on most shapes. Definitely a fun art deco vibe. Only 4 stars as the dress it self was a bit tired with the clasp at the chest stretched out. I ended up safety pinning it to keep it in place.

Nice for a cocktail party

I wore this to a Sunday evening cocktail party. It fit very well everywhere except my chest. I'm a 36D and the hook and eye closure on the dress did not hold the top closed. I had to use fashion tape, and it was still a bit more revealing than I would have liked. I also did not like the sash hanging down the front. It was pretty and it worked out, but it was not my favorite look.

Would be cute on someone but not on me

I got this dress for my 50th birthday party but didn't wear it. I feel like it is a little too formfitting for my curvy figure and with the sparkles and a tight fit, it looked a little cheesy.

The soft velvet paired with a few sparkles made this dress a standout for a New Year's Eve party! The sash created a chic, elegant touch. But plus is it's comfy and breathable!

Great dress- sexy, sophisticated and comfortable!

Ordered this dress as a backup and ended up loving it way more than my first choice. It’s so much more elegant in person and super flattering. The V isn’t cut too low so I didn’t have to struggle with fashion tape, which I often do because of smaller chest. Love the drape- it’s so soft and such a fun detail. I usually wear a 2 and ended up needing the 4, which fit perfectly

This dress might be the best piece I've ever rented. It's incredibly comfortable, flattering and very beautiful. It's hard to tell in pictures but the shimmer is beautiful in person. 10/10 for sure!!!

This dress was perfect for a classy NYE. Great length, just the the right amount of sparkle, not too short, and not too long. Plus, I was a little insecure about my tummy and it covered it perfectly!

Just the right amount of sparkle!

Tons of compliments! I wore for a winter wedding - after Christmas and before NYE and it was great! I ordered both a 38 and 40 and the 38 fit like a glove and I typically hover between a 4 and 6 pant. There is a small hook in the front to close up the v-neck if you have a smaller chest which worked great. The material is a thick velvet so if you're going to be dancing, you will sweat!

This dress was a dream!

I rented this for my work Christmas party. I loved everything about it. It was soft and comfortable and also flattering and easy to wear! No spank were needed with this one! I wore a normal bra which worked out perfectly. I did put a safety pin in the front to hold it together because the hook that was on the dress already was damaged. I am normally a 10/12 and got the 46 because it was all that was available. It fit perfectly. I got a lot of compliments all night long. Would totally rent this again or recommend it to anyone.

Comfortable and sparkly!

The fit was perfect, and I even fit into the smaller size, but decided on the bigger one being more comfortable. It wasn't too low cut, could wear a regular bra which is always a plus. The length was perfect, and the material was warm enough for a winter night without being too hot. I really enjoyed this dress! Got compliments all night !

Fashion Forward Comfortable Party Dress

I loved this dress. It was comfortable and stretchy so definitely will give you some wiggle room if you are in between sizes. It is a black sparkle fabric but it doesn't make it look cheap. The design is very fashion forward, and you can wear normal underwear so a definite plus! It is true to size - my only thing was for me it was almost on the short side for where it cuts up the leg a little but the piece of fabric that hangs down covers that side so I didn't even notice! Would rent again!

This dress was perfect for the wedding I attended. I did leave a little trail of glitter everywhere I went but what's wrong with that ;) I would be worried about renting this in the future because I feel like all the glitter will come off after a while.

So comfortable and flattering!

I ordered this dress in my normal size (10/44) and a back in in 12(46). I went with the 44 as I liked the fit better but the 46 also worked if I wanted it to be longer. I am 5'10 and the style worked well for my curves. I got so many compliments. The sparkle is just enough and it would be a wonderful holiday party dress. And did I mention it is so comfortable and flattering!!!

Extremely flattering!

Very flattering !! I wore this to a black tie optional fall wedding and felt very confident in it. Size runs true to size, and the ruching is very flattering around the waist, and long sleeves covers your arms if you're like me and feeling insecure of your arms. The sparkle adds an extra touch of elegance making it fun for an elegant event.

Comfy & Sexy for this momma of two!!

I'm 2.5 months postpartum and this dress made this mommy feel sexy!!! I received so many compliments. I didn't read the dress details, so I didn't realize it was velvet. This wasn't bad but just made me very hot while dancing, but warm for the outdoor ceremony. The dress was true to size, not too short & comfortable. There is a hook & eye so you don't have so much cleavage, however it was broke on mine so I had no choice. Even with a 36D chest, I felt it wasn't trashy looking.

Comfortable but sexy LBD

This dress fit me perfectly, petite and pear shaped 34c . If larger bust I would recommend sizing up. Wore on a date night with hubby and got two compliments. Might buy.
