I am normally a size 2 and occasionally size up to 4, followed recommendations from some reviews and ordered a few sizes up to size 6. I unfortunately could not zip the dress up fully or wear to my planned event.

I took a risk on this dress and it paid off! Was perfect for a formal spring wedding. I am typically a 6, and probably would've been more comfortable in a 6, but was able to make the 4 work as long as I had another person to zip me up, and it helped that my chest is quite flat. The Long length is tall girl approved (5' 11" plus ~1.5" heels) and it has pockets! I safety pinned down the shoulder straps to make it strapless because I knew I'd want to dance, and it worked beautifully--I even got a compliment about the design of the back of the dress which was really just a little fold from pinning down the straps! I felt so glamorous and relatively comfortable the whole night despite the small size. Highly recommend, but definitely get a backup size or backup dress.

I rented this gown as an option for a cabaret performance. I did not end up wearing it for the event but did wear for a dinner out. I sized up from a normal 8 to a size 10 and I’m glad I did. It would not have fit as an 8. I have broad, muscular shoulders and as mentioned by another review this cut does not allow for much freedom in movement if you have a more athletic build. I also wore with thicker tights and the seams and shimmer thread in the fabric was soooooo itchy I was constantly shifting while seated. Additional slip or shapewear advised for comfort with the fabric. Standing it wasn’t so bad. The hanger loops won’t stay tucked either and needed constant adjustment. 

I’m glad I had an alternate dress for my event as I was very ready to take this off after an hour. 

Got a ton of complements. The shoulders are tight and you can't really raise your arms up but this is tall girl approved! 

It was a little tight in the armpits and the zipper in the back, but so pretty, great quality, vibrant color and perfect length. I got a lot of compliments! 

A bit tight in the bust but got so many compliments 

I felt beautiful in this gown and received so many compliments. I wore one size larger than usual and it fit like a dream. Pictures don’t do this dress justice, it is so much better in person. Loved the off the shoulder look!

Beautiful on stage. The fabric has a subtle shimmer that is so pretty. Fit true to size. Very comfortable. The slit is not crazy high, just right. 

Many reviews advise ordering up because of the tight torso.  I’m small chested and thought the fit wouldn’t be a big deal - but I could barely get it zipped - needed help from my daughter.  The dress looked fantastic- and was ok for an evening - but I will join others who say order up - or get a backup larger size.

This dress has zero give! I am 5’10” and currently around 160lbs and fit well into size 8. While this dress zipped and fit in the body, it did not fit once I had to zip my arms into it. My shoulders were so far back I couldn’t raise my hands above my head. Even giving a hug would have been entertaining. It was not worn. The length was good for me with heels so the long is a solid length for those of us on the taller side. 

Lovely dress for someone with a small ribcage; lower portion of the dress fit well.  Seems a winter like fabric.  pockets!  did not wear

I’m petite 5’1 so the dress was a little long and would get caught in my heels. Overall, the fit was great; I’m busty so there was cleavage and I did size up from 12 to 14 to fit bust. 

It was perfect for me, perfect fit, I`m 5.5, 140Lbs, 34C and usually wear size 8 and the dress Size 8 was great. 

As other reviewers wrote, it is the perfect dress for pear shape.  The top is very tight and restricting.  I could not take a deep breath.  It is a beautiful color and there is a subtle sparkle to the material that makes it stand out in a sea of black dresses.  The pockets are a bonus.  Overall I would not rent again since I tend to wear hourglass shaped dresses, but perfect for black tie work event.

Great quality, fit too big, fabric and neckline a little too matronly on me. Pockets, though! Chose a different dress. 

This dress was too easy. Easy to wear, comfortable and looked lovely. And yes, pockets too!

I wore this to a black tie event and received lots of compliments. I ended up wearing the 4R because it was just more comfortable than the 2R. The 2 was a little too tight through the bust. The only slight complaints that I have are that the sleeves prevent you from raising your arms and the hanger straps are kind of bothersome and keep wanting to pop out. This dress is even more beautiful in person than in pictures. I would recommend it. 

Beautiful dress, hard to iron out all the creases out of the organza.  I'm 5'3 and ordered the 10R ( my usual go to size) and 12R, no petites available, so had to hem it up a couple of inches even with with heels. Only tried on the 12R (the 10 looked like it would never fit) Midriff VERY snug, needed help and several tries to get it zipped over the bodice seam.  I'm sure the 14 would have been too huge in the bust had I ordered an even larger size. Loved the pockets and enjoyed the compliments.

The dress is definitely tight in the chest but as someone with a small chest it was fine. The rest of the dress is true to size. I'm 5'9 and needed the long to wear heels as well. 

This dress was gorgeous and fit me very well! I ordered a long length by accident, and it still fit well on my 5' 2'' frame with 2 inch heels on (just a little long). This dress does run small, I was expecting the 10 I got to fit and I couldn't zipper it, might be a tricky choice for any ladies more busty than myself. So so beautiful, comfy, and functional! 

I received so many compliments throughout the event! Kept my phone in the pocket! Super convenient!

Definitely runs small. I usually wear a 14 and so glad I sized up for the second dress. It was a little tight after dinner, cake, and drinks!



Really liked this dress for a fall wedding! Was worried about sleeves restricting movement but didnt end up being a problem. The little ribbons for hanging the dress kept poking out and needing to be tucked in but wasnt that big of a deal. I forgot to pack a purse but the pockets kept all the essentials stowed safely! Didnt need a bra with it but felt like by B bust didnt fill out the dress quite enough. Lots of compliments though! 

Absolutely in love with dress. Received so many compliments from friends and strangers after wearing this to a vineyard wedding. So flattering, great color, and it had pockets! Would definitely consider renting again!

This dress was my backup order but I ended up loving it! The reviews about it running small are correct - I'm usually a 12 but ordered a 14 and it fit snugly but well. The only downside is you can't get your arms up that high when dancing due to the sleeves/straps, but that was a price I was willing to pay for such a pretty dress!

I received lots of compliments! I wore this dress to an evening outdoor wedding in late spring (I was so happy to have the long dress in the colder evening). The dress ran a bit small, especially in the chest, so I needed to go up a size which made the dress a bit long and loose at my waist.

Fabric sewn for curves in all of the wrong places for my body. Nice light material, and I liked the dress on the hanger. It just didn't translate well once I put it on. 

I chose this dress as the backup and liked it even more than the original dress. I got dressed up at home for no reason, so I didn't really 'test' it out at an event, but it was comfortable and well fitting. A wonderful surprise!

This dress was just "okay" for me. It's pretty. Runs a little big. Didn't find it flattering.

I loved this dress! It is very flattering and the length was perfect for me. The only downside was that it was quite tight in the chest area. Other than that, it's perfect. 

The fit was true to size. I'm 5'8 and with heels the length was perfect. It was very comfortable and I received so many compliments!


I wasn't in love with this dress on the hanger, but once I got it one I was sold. Fit my hourglass shape beautifully - and while it wasn't the most comfortable (or easy to dance in) dress I've ever worn, it was worth it. Received lots of random compliments from strangers and felt great in the dress. Very glamorous! 

While unusually wear a size 4 pant, medium top, went with the 6, couldn't breathe in the 4! The material is beautiful, with alternating shades of red, pink, purple, burgundy and gold. Note the dress runs long. It just brushed the floor in 4" heels, I'm 5'4 and ordered regular. Would work well for larger busted ladies, I'm a 34C and it was still a bit roomy up top. Hard to tell from the photo, but the straps fall off the shoulders, forming a beautiful line around the neck. 

This dress was beautiful and fun to wear! I received countless compliments all evening from people who went out of their way to tell me how nice the dress looked. The fabric has a slight shimmer in some places which catches the light subtley.  I would definitely say it runs slightly small though, so order a size up for the backup size. The fabric does not have any stretch or give to it.  My main complaint is with the silk straps used to hang the dress after you wear it.  They wouldn't stay tucked in and kept popping out all night (as seen in second photo). Overall I would definitely recommend the dress or wear it again, only I'd pin the straps down inside the dress before wearing it. 

Definitely runs small. The middle has NO give. I usually wear a 14 and get a 12 as 2nd size, and the 14 was too small. RTR was great with their customer service and overnighted me a 16. The 16 was still hard to zip up and was very tight, but manageable. I was hoping to not wear a bra, but the chest area really smooshes the girls. I ended up wearing a strapped bra because I don't have a good strapless one, and just pushed the straps down my shoulders. Color is gorgeous and it has pockets!

amazing detailing on this dress. I wore 1" heels and was comfortable. the best part was it made me have curves where I am naturally a square. No accessories needed to compliment this dress. You have to stick your leg out to see the slit but otherwise it's perfect. 

I tried on a size 4 (usually a 6) in this gown and it was quite snug. The off the shoulder style is pretty but I could barely raise my arms let alone dance if I wanted to. Loved the slit and print.
