Stunner!!!

Never loved a dress so much or received so many compliments!! It runs a bit small so size up. Also wrinkles really easy, no way around it but the fit and cut is too good to pass up!!!

Best dress I’ve rented!

I wore this dress to a black tie gala and it was stunning! The color was so beautiful, and I received compliments on it the whole night. I am usually a size 4, but read that it was a bit small. I ordered a size 6P and 8P and ended up going with the 8P. If you have a bigger bust like me, definitely size up! Rent the dress you won’t regret it!!

Perfect black tie wedding dress!

If you’re scared of it being too light for a wedding, fear not! It was very obviously pink. Also if you have larger breasts I would recommend sizing way up. I usually wear a 2-4 however I ordered a 4-6 after seeing some reviews on how girls with larger tops said you should size up and boy were they right! I ended up wearing the 6! The chest area was the only area that was tight. The rest of my body fit in the 4 just fine!

This is a beautiful dress that I wore to a black tie wedding 5 months pregnant. There is a ton of material so it accommodated a small belly. Also has pockets. Highly recommend!

Best RTR dress I’ve ever ordered 💯 So many compliments. If you have broad shoulders or large bust, size up as the fabric has zero stretch.

Bride said I looked so good she should be mad

Okay bride is a close friend and she was not mad at all; that's how she jokes!! I can't tell you how many times I heard "you look like a princess!" And I felt like one! The skirt is a lot of material so be prepared to be carrying it up steps and adjusting it as you sit, but it has great movement when walking and didn't stop me from dancing the entire night! The corset is, well, a corset. I have a bigger ribcage so that was slightly uncomfortable, but really only when sitting and it wasn't impacting my breathing at all, just stiffly tight. I am 5'6 and wore 3 inch heels and it was literally the perfect length. Pockets were huge for keeping my phone on me you couldn't even see I had it in my pocket because the skirt was so big. Highly recommend this dress!!!

White Lotus Finale Attire!

This dress is just everything! Didn’t have an event attend, so wore it in my backyard to watch the WL season three finale :). I was not able to fully zip the top up, but got it zipped enough to stay on. The cut of the top is very flattering and the length of the straps is just right. The skirt is voluminous and has pockets! I think it would be too big to go up a size, so this one might be better suited for smaller chested ladies.

2000s PRINCESS

Unreal. No notes. Fabulous. Most complemented look, ever. I’m 5’9” and wore a 2L with 3” heels and it still touched the floor. Straps are adjustable but corset is tight, I would say very true to size but if I between sizes or bust, size up for extra room. This was the most snatching dress I’ve ever worn, truly no notes. It was giving the Ralph Lauren dress Gwyneth Paltrow wore to the academy awards in 1999. more photos and reviews @whimzylindzy

Incredible. Insane!

I want to wear this dress for forever and ever. Need to buy when this goes on sale. Never felt so amazing in a dress. 5'7" and wore 4" heels and it didn't hit the floor. Definitely for taller gals. Also tight on the bust, so keep that in mind. I'm normally a small / size 2 dress and got a 0 and thought it was never going to fit. To my surprise it worked! Definitely snug, but could zip / wasn't busting out!

absolutely loved this, i wore a size 0 which is my normal size, i loved the adjustable straps. probably could’ve gone with the petite one since it was too long when i took my tall heels off. i’m 5’4 for reference!

Beautiful gown!

I ordered this as a back up for a formal wedding. It was beautiful. It was a tinge small but it worked and really snatched the waist! I got so many compliments and felt like a princess. It does fit small in the chest (36D), my boobs were being smushed out the entire time I was wearing it but it fit the vibe of the dress. I would recommend sizing up if you have a larger chest. Overall, LOVED this piece.

Perfect for black tie wedding in the summer! It was a little tight in the bust but wouldn’t have sized up because the waist fit was perfect. I got the long which was perfect for me (5’10” plus heels). Got so many compliments!

Stunning!

This dress is simple and but a total showstopper! The color and cut are perfect - I even used the pockets! There’s no stretch to the fabric and it was very tight around my ribs. I’m between a 4 and 6. I went up to the 6, but would have breathed much better in an 8. I’m 5’5” - got the standard length and wore 2” heels and the length was perfect.

Tight bodice, good length

The dress has a very tight bodice so you may need to size up or wear skims underneath. The straps are adjustable which made it easy to keep the dress at the correct length with heels on. The neckline and a-line shape were very flattering and I got several compliments in the ladies' room from other wedding guests!
