Fits perfectly, but a little long if you're on the shorter side.

Maternity Friendly!! (just size up)

I was able to wear this at 37 weeks pregnant!! I had to order a size or two up from my normal size and it worked! (there is just an internal corset that you are unable to button, but it didn’t bother me at all nor can you tell from the outside) There were no reviews when I ordered this but I took a risk and it definitely paid off. It is a super high quality fabric and even had the tags still on it. I will definitely I will rent it again not pregnant!

Great Black Tie Wedding Guest Maternity Dress

Finding a black tie wedding guest dress at 32 weeks pregnant is no easy feat, but not to fret, RTR’s got you!! The reviews made me nervous, but I just ignored the internal ribbing and extra zipper, but there was a small piece of wire that poked me if I didn’t move it. Bonus points for pockets. Size up for maternity, and if you’re shorter than 5’6, you’ll want heels (it was barely just above the ground for me with 1/2” sandals).

Too big

But wish I could have gotten smaller size in time for my event. Loved the unique cut and wildly high quality material.

Takes two to get into.

Gorgeous dress. The quality of the fabric and design of the dress are bar none. It did however, literally take two people to get me in and out of this stunner. I loved though. If you have an extra set of hands rent it! Will definitely rent again.

I felt like a princess <3

Obsessed with this dress!! Would wear again & again for formal occasions. Sized 1 size down since this is very flowy but tighter in the bodice, but this was perfect since it was strapless & I am not super large-chested.

It's a beautiful dress, but ...

This particular dress needs to be retired. The "corset" as it were is warped, bulges out, and does not keep the dress where it should be, so I spent all evening yanking it up. The materials is quite heavy which means it pulls down the top. It also took two of my friends to help me get it on, as I had to hold it while one did the zippers and the other the hooks. Overly complicated for such a simple gown. I'd love to try this dress when it's in good form, and probably a smaller size.

Engineering degree needed

I have never tried so hard to wear a piece of clothing, in my life. Literally tried for two hours to make it work... even with help from my boyfriend. He was hysterically laughing. The corset in the body of the dress does not stay in place, and the dress is a heavier, quality material, so it definitely needs the structure of the corset. At one point in time, I thought we had figured it out, I took five steps and the top of the dress was at my waist. My boyfriend enjoyed the topless show, and more laughs were had, but I immediately took this off and threw it back in the bag. Love the material and the style. I needed an instruction manual and a styling team.

Fits perfectly except for length. I'm 5/1 and had 4" heels and it was dragging, about 6" too long.

Too Large

Very beautiful dress. The fabric was beautiful, but the corset was not tight and fit very oddly. I wore it, but wish I sized a couple of sizes down.

This dress was great quality and good material but I could not get it on without help. So many snaps and a zipper

Large and heavy

Unfortuneately it was WAY to large for a size 0. I'm consistently a size 2 and I ordered a 0 so it would purposely fit snug and it was falling down on me so much i couldn't even wear it. If there was a 00 it might have been better. it also weight a lot which didn't help it falling down on me

Wasn't able to wear in public because...

Dress fit loosely at the bust. Heavy fabric antithetical to corset and hook-and-eye closure design. Be warned, very finicky to put on.
