Comfy and sexy

Perfect for a mountain wedding. I was worried the fabric was a little this but it wasn’t see through at all

I love this dress!

The fit was super flattering and I got lots of compliments, and felt really good in this dress. I wore it at a wedding and would happily rent it again if I have the occasion. The slit is really high. As others have noted, this is a no-bra dress because the back is open, which makes it all so much prettier.

Great dress

I have rented this a couple times, I should have sized down this time, they didn’t have the smaller size, it was still good. Open back, so no bra. Very high slit, yet tasteful.

Obsessed, fits perfectly.

Maybe the best dress I've rented from RTR. Considering I'm really petite and it's not stretchy fabric, it fits perfectly. I wore it for a friends' photoshoot and got so many compliments.

Classy and elegant

The dress is unlined, so probably better for spring/summer but the color is beautiful and could be a fall/winter dress with a nice coat. Definitely needs to be ironed first. The slit is high but not too revealing. The back is open so you need sticky boobs or need to go braless. Tempted to buy this!

Overall - a good dress

I’m glad I got the 6 as a backup, because it fit great. I have a short torso and I didn’t love the way the dress bunched. I think someone with a longer torso would do great. My hair kept getting caught in the button in the back, so think about that if you have long hair. I thought it was going to be sheer when I first saw it, but I have normal undergarments on and it was fine. Overall, I didn’t think it was the most flattering on my body type, but it was a good dress.

Great light dress for a summer wedding

I wore this for a late June wedding and the light material was perfect for a very, warm evening. The dress is a beautiful green color and the cut out back and high slit add some drama. I wore a stick on bra with it since the back is open and was able to wear some shaping shorts with one leg rolled up on the high slit side. Received several compliments.

Lovely - even in heat

It's a beautiful dress, appropriate for so many occasions! I loved the lightweight fabric since this event was outdoors in 90 degree great. I wore a regular bra and pinned the back to be mostly tucked under the fabric. The slit felt high to me while walking on a breezy day, but at the party it was fine. I forgot to take pictures when styled, but wore a chunky necklace and flat sandals with the dress.

A beautiful dress for really any occaision.

I wore this dress to a February wedding. Having read notes that others wore it to summer weddings and that it was lightweight, I was nervous it would be too thin. It was very lightweight, but with a coat and shawl, it was fine. I also waffled on the size because I have wide shoulders naturally and have been weightlifting, but the dress actually wasn't tight for me anywhere, in the waist, back, or shoulders (the latter is rare for me!). Others mentioned the undergarment issue due to the open back. I used the sticky bra and it worked perfectly. I did have a slight issue in that my spanx came up a bit above the zipper line in the mid-back but fixed it with a little fashion tape! You can dress the dress up with some cute shoes and a bag for the evening or dress it down for the daytime. Truly it's very versatile, the color is beautiful, and the fit is great. Simple, but good!

I actually wore this to work (I'm a provider) with a cardigan, thick nylons, and boots. and then wore it out to a 40th birthday party with bare skin 💃. I love the open back and high slit.

Rent This Dress!

Review from a mom of two littles: Backless so if you wear a bra, it will show. I didn’t wear one. Wore tight high waisted thong which helped with the tummy area. Very sexy. Wanted to keep it forever. Will rent again!

Watch the slit- she could cause you trouble. Seriously loved this dress. Best without a bra because of the opening down your spine.

Reformation has funky fits but when it works, it works

Glad that I chose the dress in a size 6 and an 8. The 6 fit perfectly and fit well in all the right spots (chest, waist, hips). Light weight (unlined) was perfect for a hot, Sonoma fall wedding. Wore with a backless bra and it was very easy to dance and move around in. Sexy without showing too much skin.

I wore this for a dinner out, and received so many compliments. Thin, lightweight fabric that needed steaming before putting it on. I was not able to wear a bra. But the color was perfect!

The BRIDE complimented ME

I LOVED this dress. The neckline was appropriate for a church wedding, and the open back kept me cool while dancing. The slit was rather high, but I had no issues and loved the look! There is also no lining under the dress, so I wore seamless underwear, boob tape, and a pair of low heels to top it off. I was so comfortable and confident in this dress. I got compliments from everyone, including the bride!

This dress was so comfortable, so flattering, and I felt so glamorous at my co-worker’s wedding. I ordered the 6 with the 8 as a backup, and ended up wearing the 8. Opted for a sticky bra.

Summer Wedding

Wore this to a July wedding in the country. It was super hot that day but the material is light and doesn’t show sweat so it was perfect. It does wrinkle a bit from sweating so just be warned. The fit was perfect! Received compliments throughout the night!

You need this dress

This dress is everything. It’s sexy, it’s comfortable, it’s chic. The color is phenomenal. You will need to go braless, however. (I tried the stick on bras, and they were pointless). I wore heels to make it a little fancier, but this could easily be worn with sandals to make it more of an everyday style. This is hands down my favorite dress I’ve rented, and I’m going to buy it - it’s that good.

Loved it!

You will need to steam out wrinkles. The material is not stretchy and on the thin-side, but the fit was so comfy and the material was breathable while still feeling covered. I received many compliments and felt very confident in this dress. The slit & open-back were sexy and brought beautiful movement when I walked. My first RTR experience was so smooth and I would do it again.

Just wear a skin toned regular bra

Back is open from what I read so I ordered backless bra “cups” and I was fixing them all night long because it was so hot that the sticky part no longer stuck to my skin. I loved the dress but really wish I’d just worn a regular bra since the open back really was not *that* open. Slit is high but not tacky.

Cute, light weight fabric.

May be tough if you have wide/muscular shoulders. Struggled a bit with bra vs cup choice but it worked out ok. Fabric does feel a bit thin. Overall it was a great choice for a family wedding.

Unlined, wrinkles easily

Love the high slit and the open back. You cannot wear a regular bra with this dress, and it’s a thin material, so even braless your nips are going to show. I wore one of those backless/strapless sticky bras and was comfortable enough.

Short Torsos Beware!

This dress was almost perfect but I have a short torso so the cutouts caused the sides to bunch up, which ultimately made it not flattering. Didn't end up wearing it.

Classic reformation very lightweight

Beautiful color, fabric a bit tired and pilly. The fabric is very light, perfect for summer. At 5’7” 130lb the slit was higher than I’d like and needed help buttoning the top. Next time I’d size up
