I have a size AA chest but wide hips and this dress fit tightly in all the right places. The drape was very beautiful and flattering, and the material was thick and looked elegant and expensive. It was also comfortable. 

I was the professional photographer for the United States of America Pageant nation competition and needed to dress up for the event, but I also needed to comfortable and be able to move around while working. This dress was perfect for that. It looked elegant, was a great fit that was super flattering and was easy to work in. I got several compliments and would definitely either rent this again or purchase it to keep. I would HIGHLY recommend this dress! 

Beautiful well made dress. Great quality, very comfortable and very flattering. I was 1 month postpartum here and the dress felt great. It accentuates the belly area a bit but I didn’t feel fat at all. I would definitely recommend this dress. 

I am about 132 pounds normally wear size 4 to 6, and I got a size 2 in this dress.  I would definitely size down.
This dress fits amazing and perfect.  One small downside is that it is a thick and heavy dress, but I just love the way it looked.  It fit like a glove.  Highly recommended 

Love this dress! Fabric was very comfortable. I'm fairly short at 5'3 and was wearing about 3 inch heels and the dress was still barely touching the ground. Had no problems walking in it. Busty ladies might want to be careful with the neckline if you're night involves dancing but I was easily able to wear a bra with this. 

Style and fit were liberating!
 I am 6 feet tall and the length was perfect with at at least a 4 inch heel.

I wore this to a friend's outdoor wedding in September in the Outer Banks. It was the prettiest I've ever felt - I loved the draping of the fabric, it highlighted all my assets and was very comfortable. I felt like a celebrity all night! Would rent this over and over again. 

This dress was so flattering - the drape, the neckline, the comfortable fabric! Nice thick stretch material, and the high back means you can wear a bra - I wish I owned this dress! A heads up to my fellow short folks; it’s a bit long in the front if you’re under 5’3” (even with moderate heels) so you may want taller shoes or to pin up that front hemline a bit. I didn’t bother, just lifted it when going up and down stairs.

I wore this to a gala work event and was so comfortable and happy the whole time. It was a extremely good quality gown that was definitely well made. My girls were a bit prominent but I also didn’t feel like it was an inappropriate amount. 

This dress was absolutely stunning. So sophisticated and I felt like the belle of the ball. I got lots of compliments. I did end up wearing the size 10 instead of my usual dress size of 12 and it fit perfectly. 

Perfect for black tie wedding event. I got lots of complements! 

I was unsure about this dress when I saw it online. I was afraid it would be too boring or matronly for the black-tie wedding I was attending. I'm SO glad I went ahead and ordered it. I've never felt more elegant in a dress before. It fit perfectly and was made from a thick but comfortable material that felt expensive and hung beautifully on my frame. I typically wear a 0/2 and ordered both. The 0 fit perfectly!

Absolutely LOVED this dress! Definitely a tight, secure fit, but that is a plus in the cleavage area. Was just a little tight, as I typically wear a 12-14 on here. A little tough to get the zipper up where the fabric changes, so requires an extra set of hands, but I received a TON of compliments and would love to wear this dress again! 

I'm 5ft so the dress was long on me even with 3 inch heels but I loved the looked overall and received a lot of compliments on the style.  

So for me this was the perfect dress to change into while working a wedding for a dear friend when I only had 5 minutes to change. The dress really was a statement piece by itself. The only thing (and trust me I was surprised given how I have been eating lately) was that for me the dress was a little too big so I could have gone a size smaller. Overall, I loved it and I got plenty of compliments. 

Loved this dress! Really flattering and perfect for a formal work gala. Also extremely comfortable! 

Comfortable, form fitting, plenty of stretch. Danced all night. 

I'm 5'2" 140lbs, and wearing 3" inch heels  the length was perfect 6R.  I loved this dress. High quality. Many compliments. 

This dress was flattering and even though I am small chested, I never felt self- conscious about the low cut neckline. The ruching is very forgiving for someone with a bit of a tummy. The satiny fabric was so elegant and while the dress was heavy it was not uncomfortable to wear. I felt very elegant. Sizing was perfect 

I wore this dress to a black-tie gala and I received a lot of comments. I think I could have gotten a smaller size but it wouldn't have made a big difference as the dress fit very well. I wore the dress for about 9 hours and it was very comfortable.  I'm 5'9 and the dress was the perfect length even with my two-inch heels. 

I loved this dress! Very nice, thick material. Incredibly flattering, I got so many complements. 

This was my first rental and it was a hit. Rented it for a formal event and it was a dream. The dress was a bit loose and think I should have sized down to a 8. The fabric was thick and forgiving and I didn't even have to wear shapewear with it. Felt sexy and elegant. Got so many compliments.

Rented this dress for an event. The material is very forgiving and very flattering. Dress sits nicely on an hour glass frame.

This head turning gown emphasizes and smooths all the right parts with a thick luxurious material, just the right amount of side leg exposure, and a flattering (not overly revealing) neckline.  You can wear a real bra under this one, which makes for a comfortable fit that lasts through long events and allows for dance moves too risky for strapless dresses (no popping out of this dress!).  At 5'2", I wore my 5" wedges to bring the length to just above the floor.  Loved this dress so much that I've rented it twice!

Very very pretty dress. I rented it for my friend that is about a size larger than me and definitely a different build, so ignore the size profile attached to my review. She loved the dress though and it was so flattering. 

Easy to wear a bra, length was great for my 5'5" frame, 12 ran just a tiny bit loose. 10 may have worked as well. 

I’m curvy with big hips, big thighs, and big arms/shoulders. I wanted a dress that would be forgiving but fun, and not too revealing. I wore this to a black tie event and loved it! It was very comfortable and flattering - and I was able to wear an actual BRA with it! I love the bunching on one side - it gave it an extra fun flair. Highly recommend this if you’re looking for formal but comfortable and fun! FYI - though the dress fit me well, the straps and top were loose, so I wore a bra with it which gave me that extra support and confidence. The straps didn’t move too much at all (I did a dance test!) 

I ordered this dress to wear to a black tie optional wedding in the fall and I didn't end up wearing it but it was a great option. The material is on the thicker side that you get with nicer dresses but it's stretchy which makes it more comfortable and form fitting. I don't have a bra on in the picture but for peace of mind I probably would've worn pasties with it. Highly recommend 

So everyone’s reviews are spot on- it’s a thicker fabric but not necessarily hot to wear. The fabric is stretchy so I did have a little fear of it sliding down a TINY BIT. I put fashion tape under the armpit for extra security. You can also easily wear a normal bra with this and not worry about it showing. The 2 fit great overall. The dress just touched the ground when I wore 3 inch heels. Everyone LOVED this dress!!! Definitely would rent again 

Really great dress for a wedding, super flattering!

This is the second time I’ve rented a black halo dress and they have yet to fail me! Great fabric and  flattering fit. I think I could’ve sized down one but still so happy with this rental. 

I used RTR for the first time, as I was flying in from Europe to attend my brother’s wedding in California. I’m not very familiar with US sizing, but I’m usually a size 12 in the UK or 40 in EU sizing. This would generally put me at around an 8 in US sizing, but based on the recommendations I sized down to a 6. The fit recommendations were perfect, the dress did not feel too tight or too loose. The dress comes in one length. I’m 5’4” and wore the dress with 3” heels, which was just right. The fabric is thick with a little stretch, which along with the ruching, covers any lumps and bumps quite well. I wore it on a sunny Spring day in Southern California and felt fine, but on a hotter day the weight of the fabric may have been too much. The full back and thick straps meant that I could wear a bra (a must for me!) without worrying about the straps or band being exposed. The square neckline is really flattering, but does cut low for some fuller cup bras. I opted to wear it with a Skims seamless sculpt brief body suit, which lifted and nipped in all the right places without being visible. The thigh slit is fun, but it’s low enough to not be outrageous, which was also important for a family wedding. Paired with the flare detail alongside the split, it added a fun bit of drama and movement to the dress. The quality of the fabric and detailing was very high. I felt super glam in it without sacrificing my comfort, and received lots of compliments. I was tempted to purchase it, but I wouldn’t have anywhere else to wear. I would definitely encourage others to try it.

This dress was elegant, and so flattering thanks to the ruching and draping of the fabric. I wore shorter heels (maybe 3’’ or something) with the dress. 

Loved wearing this. I ordered a backup one size larger but should have requested the backup in a size smaller. I ended up wearing the size I ordered/expected but would have liked to know if the smaller would have been a little more snug. The material gives enough to stretch and has dealing that is ultra flattering and forgiving! I received tons of compliments and was comfortable all night! 

Let me first say the RTR team is unmatched. I ordered a dress that looked amazing in the pictures, but on my complexion it was dull. The fit was awkward. I had one day until my event. RTR helped me find an available style. We worked together, it was done so quickly. Five stars just for the customer service. First, this was the start of the evening of 5 hours. I was comfortable, the material is heavy, so perfect for cold weather. I usually wear a size 2R or 4R, but the 0R was the best size, I would say it runs on the smaller side. The dress exudes a timeless elegance reminiscent of iconic brands like Chanel. Personalize your look by adding accessories to truly make it your own.

I’m 5’2” on a good day, so I felt like the straps were slightly long (the 0S was not available). Length was good with 4 inch heels, but maybe just a hair long. Comfy fit - not too tight. Very elegant! Good quality fabric.

I’m such a big fan of this dress! The fabric is stretchy and thick. You can wear a normal bra and spanx. I got lots of compliments at the wedding we attended. I would highly recommend. True to size. 

Fits perfectly, heavier material, flattering ruching. Love how the neckline is like a tank top and doesn't require a special bra. Such an easy and versatile dress.
