Novara Dress

The zipper is very difficult to get up on your own. Make sure you have someone to help you. No bra needed!

The high quality is evident. It does not slip down. I’m probably closer to a 4 but the 2 fit perfectly snug so I chose that of the two sizes that were shipped

It’s classy, it’s playful, it has pockets. Easy to dance in. Well constructed w/ inner clasp on the bodice so it stays put. Just an absolute gem of a dress!!

Definitely a showstopper. The color is perfect for spring.

I am a 36 DD and could wear this without a bra do to the bones. Dress is as pictured but more beautiful in person. It’s got pockets and you will certainly get lots of compliments !

This dress is so beautiful- material is a little thicker so it’s structured and holds you in. I got a million compliments on this dress. I ended up wearing a pair of silver pumps instead of the sandals in this photo and it looked a lot better. The color combo is also really pretty. I felt like I was getting overdressed for my birthday dinner, but I’m so glad I chose this one!

It has a built in bra which was convienant and the pockets were awesome. Felt great and teh colors are amazing, loved it!

Got so many compliments on this dress. Didn't have to wear a bra or be worried it wouldn't stay up because it fit like a glove.

True to size. I could have probably worn an 8 but I would have been hiking it up all night. I am usually a size 8 on top as a 36' chest but only an A bust, and a 6 in my lower half. I'm 46 so feeling older, but felt young, fun, and beautiful in this gorgeous dress. I thought about buying it! I received so many complements. I thought I would be too dressed up, but it was perfect. My favorite of a half dozen RTR dresses so far!

I wore this to a wedding in Sonoma. The cut was fun and flattering. I got so many compliments on this dress! Loved it!

Really cute dress! Was definitely tight in the corset area and dug into me a bit, but I fluctuate between a size 14 and 16 and wore a size 14.

I loved this dress. I shouldve ordered a 0, but made the 2 work. It has this stretchy clasp to cinch the waist inside- very cool/helpful!

This dress was so comfortable! I got so many compliments and it was great for dancing all night long. Highly recommend, I loved it.

As always RTR did not disappoint. This is the 4th time my daughter has rented a dress from them. IT WAS PERFECT. This occasion was her Senior Prom. It was a semi formal prom the school allowed them to have, so long dress was not required. This dress fit perfectly and what we always love about RTR is that her dress is unique so no chance anyone has a similar one on that night.

No stretch just FYI!

Fun dress. Feminine with flair but not too formal. Super cute on. Lots of compliments. I've worn more comfortable dresses but it was too cute to be annoyed.

The pictures don't do it justice. This dress is gorgeous

I was struggling to choose between this dress and another for a wedding with a pastel/spring theme requested by the bride, and was so worried that when I went with this one I was going to be dealing with it falling down all night. My worries were totally in vain - even with no bra, I was secure and only had to do the shimmy up after the most intense of dancing. Such a fun and flattering dress. Fits true to size with (obviously) plenty of room in the hips and pockets!!!!

Love the pockets and the colors. It was a little bit big at the waist line. Very nice dress for a special occasion.

I typically wear a 6, but reviews suggested sizing up and the 8 fit great! I wasn’t able to wear a bra (which wasn’t a problem for me). Color was fun, it was super comfy and bonus- it has pockets! I wore it for a fancy dinner for my birthday!

I LOVED wearing this dress. I thought I would be a 6 but the 8 fit just right. The colors were great, full of life but not too much - I loved the the lining was a beautiful blue color. This dress has silver threading in it, so the dress would look great with silver shoes. The dress got a lot of compliments at the wedding.

Absolutely loved this dress! I wore it for a rehearsal dinner in October, and it fit perfectly. I’m 5’6, 127, slim athletic build with a small chest, and usually wear a size 2. I ordered a size and it fit perfectly. Plus: it has pockets! It was structured and thick but not at all heavy. Loved how the lining was a different color than the dress for an unexpected pop of color. I received so many compliments! Definitely recommend renting!

I went up a size and easily could’ve gone up one more. The bodice is very snug, especially at the bottom. I got so many compliments on it and I loved the pockets!

I wore this to a Kentucky Derby party and it fit like a glove! The torso has a wire in it so it’s structured and definitely hides the tummy. I love the length of the skirt, I have super long legs and I felt like this wasn’t too short! It’s such a flattering color and I got a lot of compliments. It stayed up and never fell down, such a comfortable dress and I definitely recommend for a party as a statement piece!

In both the chest and the waist is was just a tag too big. Just seems like the breast area stretched. It was super cute, wish it fit

I wore this to a Madmen (60s) themed cocktail party and it was ON POINT. I added a petticoat I picked up on Amazon to add some volume. The skirt looked a little lifeless in other reviews. The ribcage didn’t have a lot of give, but there’s an elastic hook on the inside to help keep it in place if needed. It stayed put all night and I got a ton of compliments!

This was a great dress for an outdoor rooftop wedding! I got so many compliments and requests for where I got it. The fit was beautiful and flattering and the fabric was perfect for holding the shape without being too heavy. I had no problems with it staying up through the night of dancing and chasing my daughter around. Great construction in the bodice.

I wore this for a themed retro event and received multiple compliments! It was a beautiful color and nice material. It’s a better fit for small chested women. It was tight in the rib cage and more forgiving in the waist so perfect for a pear shape.

The backup size for my original selection was unavailable and I got to pick a bonus dress from what was available last minute so I chose this as a wild card dress. I wore it to a bar mitzvah and I stood out in a sea of black dresses! The blue metallic lining is such a fun detail and it matches the blue flowers. The bodice has an internal support you can hook to keep everything secure, and the zipper and boning make the waistline look really flattering. And it has pockets! I’m glad I took a chance on this dress because I had a blast dancing all night in it!

Obsessed! Definitely a little snug trying to zipper especially with a bigger bust but I think the next size up would have been too loose and not stayed up.

I was in this dress for 15 hours and was comfortable the whole time.

Why I love RTR!! I totally stepped out of my normal style with this one and LOVED! Felt like Carrie in Sex & the City. Wore to a friend’s dual birthday/Derby party and it was so appropriate! I would likely try a size 4 if I wore again only because I have a broader frame and the zipper did pinch my back a little bit but not enough that it bothered me while wearing! Once my husband got it zipped up it truly felt like a fairly perfect fit. It’s more that I just knew it was giving me a little back fat vs feeling it as uncomfortable. So cute!!!

We did a fun Sweet 16 Photoshoot and this dress was one of the ones my daughter loved. She felt comfortable and beautiful in it. We lord it with a black mock neck since it was a cool day, a black petty coat to add a bit to the look and some Dr Marteen boots and the look was just perfect. My daughter said she loved the dress and even more when she saw it has pockets. 10/10!

Wish I could wear this dress every weekend! Got so many complements. Very flattering. The top has plastic boning so could wear a bra or not.

I loved wearing this dress- received lots of compliments.

I got lots of compliments on this dress! and best of all - I didn't need to wear a bra! made the night that much more enjoyable.
