Versatile and Sophisticated

Could be worn as a beautiful gown, but it was crazy cold when I wore it so I paired it with a sweater and rabbit fur hat which made it a bit more casual

So Elegant

I wore this to a black tie wedding and felt like a million bucks. In a sea of black dresses, I really felt special in this one. The satin, the extra long sleeves, the simplicity of the back and the tiny rouging above the bum... it was perfect!

Perfect classy winter dress

I wore this to my fiancée work christmas party and it was perfect! I am tall and I was surprised that the length fit as good as it did. The back was the best touch. 10/10

Team RTR Review

This backless gown is so gorgeous! I feel like I usually veer away from a more fitted slip dress becuase they tend to be unflattering, but this dress is so gorgeous on. I can't wait to rent for a party this winter! FYI you need fashion tape or sticky boobs, you can't wear a regular or strapless bra with this style.

I got this last minute for a wedding. I wore a nude bodysuit underneath to keep it modest and it still looked good and fit perfectly.

Arms are tight but need to be

The arms are tight, but since it’s backless, the tightness holds up the neckline. I have pretty meaty arms and found it to be ok and not uncomfy. The dress was cute and I got lots of compliments.

Almost perfect, but was about to hulk out of the arms

The dress was so cute and I loved the cut of the sleeves. I felt like it hugged the right parts of my body EXCEPT for my arms – absolutely zero give in the arms

Cute winter party dress

Overall, a cute option for fall and winter parties. It was a little short on me. But comfortable and flattering. But i will likely need to wear shape wear because it’s not very supportive.

The fit is perfect, true to size. Love fabric quality. It needs to be well ironed, but it is heavy and thick, so it looks expensive, not cheap.

So elegant!

Dressed this up for a black tie wedding and got so many compliments. It was exactly what I was looking for, I felt so elegant all night long. This could easily be dressed up or down. Was so close to buying this but am trying to cut down on my closet size.

Weird sleeves

First off- the back of this dress is gorgeous. Unfortunately the sleeves are long and tight up on the upper arms/shoulders. I’m a true size 4 and the dress fits perfectly everywhere except the upper arms.

A good staple

Wore it to several events, found the sleeves a bit too long and overall the quality not high enough to purchase. Felt a little like I was wearing a wizard's gown. Very pretty back.

I agree with others saying the arms are awkward, but it didn't bother me once I tied the back. Great simple elegant dress for a black tie wedding.

Cute!

Fits better if you have more curves. If you are very straight, you might find that the hips are tailored a little odd. I still wore it multiple times.

Love love love the dress! It fit like a glove, as someone who has larger hips!

The sleeves are a bit tighter on one side so I could not move my arm as much. Both the replacement and the original one I ordered had sleeves that were a bit tight.

Underwhelming

This dress has potential but is very blah (husband said I looked like I was in a choir lol). The sleeves are insanely tight. If you have any amount of muscle you’re not going to be able to move your arms. Did not wear.

Cute but insane sleeves

The sleeves on this dress are so tight, I could not move. The rest of the dress was pretty loose, so sizing up would not have solved the issue. If you are muscular or don't have super thin arms, I would avoid this dress.
