This dress was perfect for my black tie event.  I felt comfortable and appropriate all evening.  I was completely impressed with RTR and my stylist, Marina!!  I do agree with the reviews, the dress definitely runs short.  I normally wear petite or short lengths but opted for the regular length after reading the reviews.  If I rent this dress again, I will probably try one size smaller in my 2nd size....the dress does have "give" to the material.

Thanks for making this so easy RTR!  I had a great experience and will definitely be renting again!!  

This dress is perfect.  The armpit is cut high for full coverage.  Draping gives a nice silhouette, but is forgiving across the tummy.  Material is stretchy so it is very comfortable. The material is also heavy so the dress looks and feels expensive.  I received compliments all night long.   The dress runs a tad bit big.  I usually wear a size 8, and I wore the 8, but probably could have fit in the size 6 (which was not available).  

I wore this to a 1920s themed black tie.  The dress is a little stretchy so I was actual able to wear a 2L versus my normal size of a 4L.  I'm 5'7" and the length was perfect with 3 inch heels.  It would have definitely been to short had I not gotten the extra length.  The arm piece is actually beaded, which I didn't realize in the photo which actually makes it look better in person.  Overall I found the dress to be very flattering.  Earrings and bracelet were also rented here.  

This gown is super comfortable and stretchy! definitely forgiving and on the roomier side. On the more fitted side in the bodice, easy fit through the hips, I found this to be really easy to wear and the crochet/beaded detailing on the one sleeve was really fun! overall an easy fit, seems flattering on most body types as well.

The style and fabric of this dress make it really easy to wear. It's a little bit stretchy and it gathers in the mid-section in a flattering way. I was looking for a classic black dress for a formal affair -- plain, in a good way. The beading off the shoulder added some interest to the dress without being flashy. 

This dress was unbelievably comfortable and forgiving. I was able to eat and drink without worrying about looking bloaty or full. It was a tiny bit big at my waist, but that's uaully an issue for me since I'm a size 0 at the waist, but a size 2 at the hips. I wore 3inch heels, and I'm 5'4. The regular length fit perfect, as you could just see my shoes, but only in the front.

Wore this for a gala dinner in NYC where I knew the crowd was a bit older and more conservative. Perfect for the event: it was comfortable to walk, sit and eat in. Was seated most of the time wearing this. Didn't make too much of a statement but that's what I was going for. 

I will say about the length: I ordered the 2L and the 4R. I was worried about the length of the 2L but it was perfect. The 4R barely touched my ankles! I'm not super tall so I don't know how gals with height might wear this. Zipper at the waist was a little bulky (as you see in the photo).

Worked for me overall and, as always, great customer service from RTR!

I am so happy with this dress! I ordered a 2R and it was a little roomy but not enough to where I'd say it ran large, I could have sized down if I had the option, but the 2 really was fine and comfortable. The fabric is heavy and it was also a little scratchy and uncomfortable at times, but that was easy to overlook. The beaded sleeve was my absolute favorite part! The dress is a little bit on the short side but if you're like me and you like to opt for a wedge or a flat, then it is pretty perfect!
Overall, I really liked this dress and I have no real complaints!  

Wore to a black tie event! Unfortunately, it came snagged and really in bad shape on the shoulder! It wasn't a show-stopper, but it was still really pretty!

I wore this dress to a black tie event I attended in early September. The crowd attending was a conservative crowd. So glad I went with the dress with a partial sleeve. Very comfortable to dance in. This dress is slightly short. I'm 5'4 and wore 2.5" heels and it was perfect.
