Pro: adjustable straps, generous in the mid portion (are a big meal, could wear if pregnant)

Negs: long (wore flats, probably needed 2-3” heels to not drag on the floor), straps might dig if wearing a long time 

It was very comfortable. Very long. I’m 5’8” and wore heels and it still brushed the floor. Stretchy enough through the rib cage and chest to fit snuggly even on larger busts. 

I am a size 2 and this fit perfectly. I work 3-4 inch heels and the length just hit the floor. I’m 5’6. I got so many compliments at this formal wedding. It was a very comfortable knit fabric 

I am barely 5 feet tall and I wore 4 inch platforms that were flat on the bottom so I got height and kept the comfort.  I hemmed the dress with clothing tape (per other's recs on these reviews) and it worked perfectly. I hemmed it so my toes would peek out when I walk but consider maybe another inch higher so you don't have others step on it when you lean over a bit. It is LOTS of material so order 2 packs of clothing tape in advance. I hemmed it about 5 inches.  Super easy but it took an hour at least.  I wore a strapless bra (I have small breasts) which worked easily and tied the dress tight around my neck.  It got loose so I advise tying it in a double knot. The back of the dress is stretchy so go for the smaller size if you are btwn 2 sizes (i wear a size 2/4 for an A-line dress but a 6 for pants). Tummy and thighs do NOT matter for this dress!  Eat whatever you want:)  The limiting factor is your rib cage, THAT IS IT! (My rib cage measures 30 inches under my breasts).  I wore a wrist cuff and hanging earrings. I fit in perfectly at this black tie wedding. My husband loved it. 

Feels like a million bucks, just a little long on me even in heels but I'm only 5'3"

It’s so so comfortable because the back is elastic and it doesn’t wrinkle at all. Also it was long enough for me at 5’10 to wear heels which was amazing. Felt very confident all night and received lots of compliments. 

I got so many compliments on this dress I couldn't even keep count. The pictures, however pretty, still don't do it justice. Gorgeous flowing material. Snatched waist while still stretchy in the back that left room for the wedding buffet. Secure top that held me in all night with no bra needed. All the jumping and dancing all night and never once worried. 

Only con was the length. This is a full-fledged Amazon Goddess dress. I'm 5'7 and still had to wear my 6" stripper heels to have it not brush the floor with every step. I changed to my backup 3" wedges later and had to lift the dress whenever walking but IDFC this dress was worth it. And the way it moves and the bottoms when you lift and twirl. GORGEOUS!! ❤️❤️❤️ I wish I owned it but at least I have a ton of pictures to remember it by 🥰

This was a back up to a dress that wasn’t able to ship. Even though it was a bit long I was able to wear flats (way more comfortable!) Super flattering and comfortable. The only thing that would have made it more perfect would have been pockets. 

I’m 6’ 152lbs and it was stretchy, comfortable and flattering. It is long! It actually went to just off the floor with 2 inch heels. I’m a size 8 normally for dresses… sometimes a 10 for length and the 8 was a perfect fit! It went two 2 back to back events with different crowds and it was great for a black gala and then a “fun and festive” cocktail night. (Please excuse the chicken purse in the picture. It was the best full pic I had of the dress and a mandatory accessory.) Also a pic of the back, so that you can see the back of the dress in action. Got tons of complements. It was so comfortable and fun to wear! 

This was my first RTR order and I will be coming back. Made me feel like a princess all night. The fabric is really beautiful and shimmery in person and the material is quite comfortable.

This dress was very comfortable to wear but still flattering. It does run long but it worked great with flats or heels. Got a ton of compliments 

This dress is gorgeous and I felt amazing in it. It was perfect for a fancy wedding. It will definitely only be the perfect length for someone who’s over 5’8 (with heels!) I am 5’3 wore 4 inch heels and used an entire spool of fashion tape to hem it another 3 inches. But It was so worth it! 

Please make this in petite! 

Beautiful gown with just a hint of gold shimmer. The fabric is really unique and structured well. Definitely requires heels as it was very long.

I wore this dress for an awards night for my work, I had compliments all night! Amazing dress I felt like a million dollars! I wore size 4 since it was the only one available, had to adjust the length with tape. My choice would have been size 2. I can't wait to wear this dress again! Rent it! 

Wore this to a movie premiere at the venice film festival. was a great comfy yet fancy dress. 

I sized up after seeing this ran a little small and it was a perfect fit. Great for a larger chest and the cut of the dress made it not only comfortable, but very flattering. The fabric looks and feels luxurious without being too ostentatious so it could be dressed up or down depending on your event. I'm very tall and had to wear flats with this as heels would have made it a little too short on me, but no complaints. 

Wore this for a photoshoot. Wish I could have rented the 4 but with tying the top tighter I was able to make it worked. Looked beautiful in the sun and super long for the tall girls! 

Beautiful dress I felt so stylish. It's very long so wear high heels 

This dress is immaculate and I would've loved to wear it, but I risked it on a non petite size and it was too long even in high heels. Size 6 regular did not work for a 5'3" frame! Other than length the dress is gorgeous and comfortable, flattering even after a big dinner. 

The dress was perfect for a fundraising gala! It made my waist look small and my boobs look big! It’s a little long even with 3 inch heels so if you are shorter than 5 foot six and are wearing heels shorter than that I would recommend going for the short version of this dress. My only tiny complaint is that the thick cord that ties behind your neck is a little bit scratchy and thick.  It stuck out through my hair when tied in a bow. I had to tie it just the right length as to not show my bra and also not be too uncomfortable behind my neck.  I received tons of compliments!

Perfect fit with lots of compliments.  The halter didn't budge all evening.  It was on the long side so I wore higher heels and it was worked great.

This dress fit like a glove and gave just the right amount of sparkle. The top is a bit adjustable with the ties, which was convenient for me. Recommend wearing this to a fun, shimmery event! 

Wore this to my daughter’s school gala and it was a great choice. Fabric is lightweight but substantial and had sparkle. Flattering at the neckline and so comfortable. Perfect for dancing and looked dressy but had flair and not just basic black. Only slight issue is that I’m almost 5’8” and wore 3” heels and still had to be careful not to trip on the dress going up the stairs because it is so long. 

The dress was long but with the heels i was able to manage, overall super comfortable and great fit, very flattering on my body type 

There is no way anyone under 5’5” could wear this dress! I’m 5’2” and was just drowning in extra fabric but it was sad bc it’s absolutely stunning otherwise 

Fits TTS or slightly large. Is definitely long (I am 5'6" and with 3 inch heels was almost hitting floor). Beautiful fabric and silhouette 

This dress is stunning! Wear a really supportive strapless bra though - I was wearing a sticky bra and needed to use the straps for support. Well, my clavicles were so sore the next day from the neck tie. And this dress is very long! I am 5’7” and with 2” heels it was still way too long. Needs to be hemmed. 

Wore this to a black tie Xmas party and it was perfect! Kind of hard to tell if it’s silver or gold, has hints of both so you could go either way with accessories! Perfect length and the adjustable neck strap was helpful!

Big fan of this dress. Fits true to size with extra room to bloat. Perfect length on me. My only qualm is the tie behind the neck was painful but the longer I wore it, I didn't notice it at all after an hour. Had to tape because bras showed

Felt red carpet ready in this. So many compliments and so comfortable. I'm 5'6 and wore 4 inch heels and it was still ever so slightly long but manageable. Will rent again!

So many compliments & such a comfortable gown as well!!!! 

Fits true to size. Very comfortable and a beautiful metallic made this perfect for a more formal event. 

It fit perfect besides the length! I used fashion tape and it did the trick. 

It's very long but beautiful and the size 2 with 4" heels was perfect! So comfortable. It's flowy and lovely and easy to wear. no problem with a bigger chest I am 53 (w/real ones :)) and a little tape did the trick, no bra. I am between a 34C/D and muscular build. 


Wore for a black tie optional wedding, was such a hit! I got so many compliments and I really loved how it looked and fit overall. I would say it felt a tough too long, and it was really hard to walk up stairs -- and there's so much fabric so I had to gather the whole dress basically up to my knees to avoid tripping. I'm 5'8" so I don't usually have this problem
