This dress was gorgeous and extremely comfortable for my formal event. We danced and partied all night and this dress was 100% perfect! I felt it was true to size, I typically wear a size 0 and am 5’8” and the 38L/0 was perfect with 3” heels. I would absolutely rent again. 

I'm a bit on the taller side and the length of this dress worked well for me. Because of the ruching and stretchiness, the fit and length are flexible for many body types. I like the sexy peek of the collarbones. There is no slit so you can't be in a hurry walking around. Getting it off and on without a zipper was tricky but doable.

Amazing sleek sophisticated dress! Fit perfectly but there was a bit of wriggling to get it on. Wore it to a black tie wedding. I felt fabulous in it. 

This dress fit like a glove and all of the ruching both hides and accentuates your curves. I made the mistake of trying to put it on from the bottom of the dress (because there are no zippers) and it is so stretchy and tight that I was all but stuck. Going in from the top was easier as long as you’re careful with the lace. True to size. Wore 2” heels

I loved this dress and everyone that saw me
In it said the same thing it was stunning! I didn’t wear any undergarments and you couldn’t tell. The ruching hit from my hips to the shins. I am 5’11 to give perspective. Wore the size 52 don’t know what that equates to in US sizing either a 14 or 16. I will rent this again. 

It squeezes all the parts I wanted to be squeezed to flatter my figure. I loved this dress. I felt like a movie star. It is a mermaid style, so I couldn't take big steps in my heels.

This dress is very flattering and very comfortable. Size up though! I’m 5’5”, 167lbs, 36DD, and normally wear a size 12. The 14 fit great. It was also the perfect length for wear flats with but would have been too short with heels. 

Get the dress!! I am 5’2 and even without a large heel the mermaid bottom is easy to walk with. Hugs you in all the right places and no bra was needed. 

This dress was perfect for a black tie wedding, and thanks to the stretchy material, I wore it while 36 weeks pregnant. The lace detail around the top is gorgeous. Only issue - it's hard to get on and off by yourself (when expecting), and a little difficult to use the ladies room! Would rent again (pregnant or not). 

Beautiful dress - this designer is wonderful for hourglass shapes.  One thing to note: the dress is hard to walk in because it's quite constricting on the bottom so it's hard to take long strides. Totally fine but don't plan to walk far in it. Lace on top is stunning but needs to be properly arranged. 

I absolutely LOVED this dress!  I opted for the larger size, it fit like a glove and was super comfortable and stretchy.  I got so many compliments and felt so pretty.  I am an apple so I don’t really have much of a waist and the ruching made me look like I did.  I am medium chested and wore an underwire so I had a little cleavage but not too much!  I highly recommend this dress but order a size up.

I’m 5’9”, 145 lbs.  if wearing heals, I recommend getting the long length.  The regular length wasn’t long enough.  

Compliments all night, dress was fitted. But the ruching helped hide imperfections. Loved it 

I loved how this dress fit. So many compliments . Great if you are curvy 

 I wore the 42L in this dress w 4" heels. The dress fit snug but in a good way. I felt like it really held me in. I personally preferred the more snug fit to accentuate my waist. I'm 5'6" & typically 4/6. I definitely recommend the longer length. It was a smidge short w heels on, even in the longer length, so I did feel like I needed to pull it down a bit at times. The ruching made this easily possible though. The dress was very comfortable and I got tons of compliments on it. Highly recommend!

I recommend stepping into the dress and pulling it up vs putting it on overhead, especially if your planning on wearing any Spanx or underwear as it is very tight to get in/out of and undergarments can roll down. The dress is very form fitting and provides good support, I didnt need to wear Spanx underneath and I normally would have. I wore 3" heels with the Regular length and the dress just hit the floor, so it was perfect. A little restrictive getting in/out car, up/down for bathroom trips and if pulling down to smooth out the length, be aware it can pull down the black underlay that covers your chest area at the top, under the lace. Despite being form fitted, the material is stretchy and I was still able to dance all night in it! Gorgeous dress! 

I wore this for a gala at which I was the emcee and it was perfect! The fit is so flattering and the stretch of the fabric made for easy movement with no awkward tugging or shifting! It looked perfect the whole night (on and off stage), which was about 7 hours of wear. The bonus of a packable dress that doesn't wrinkle was great! I am 48 yrs old, 5'5", 145 lbs and a size 6/8 with 36A bust and this dress hugged all the right curves. This was my first RTR and it was a home run!!!

The dress was absolutely gorgeous! The fabric provided excellent shaping and support. It was true to size, but it was a little difficult to get on because it doesn't have a zipper. 

I had a son 6 months ago and this dress was absolutely perfect. I'm typically a size 4 and this dress was a perfect fit. A plus for me was that there were no zippers. The dress fit snug in all the right places and was very comfortable for sitting and for dancing. I would highly recommend!

This dress made me feel amazing. I felt absolutely gorgeous the entire night! I felt like a million bucks and the fit was amazing. The quality of the fabric was perfection and there are simply not enough adjectives for how much I loved this dress 

The fit was perfect.  It's definitely tight fitting, but the ruching is slimming.  I had to adjust it quite a bit throughout the night, but nothing that made me regret getting this dress.  You have to make sure it's sitting in all the right places and that the shoulders stay off your shoulders and the fabric stays flat and doesn't roll due to it being such a thin lace fabric.  I got a long and the length was perfect.  I'm 5'8" and I wore 3 inch heels.

My husband LOVED the dress and I got lots of compliments on it.  I wore it to dinner and then to the Opera so I was in the dress from about 5:30-11:00 and it was comfortable.  It's not the easiest to get on and off, but it was worth it!  I definitely recommend and will definitely be back to rent from RTR again in the future.

This dress fits like a glove, which is awesome. It's so form-fitting that you could visibly see a difference in my tummy after eating dinner! Next time, I'd probably wear Spanx. It's so elegant, and unquestionably an expensive gown. I received rave compliments all night. I'm still getting compliments, days later! I disagree with reviews that say no bra is needed. I had this gown shipped to my hotel & I didnt pack a bra. I ended up pulling the cutletts out of a sports bra and stuffing those in. It worked, but do not plan on wearing this gown without anything on your breasts. 
Worn w 4" heels. I'm 5'7"

This dress was such a beautiful piece. The fabric is so soft and stretches over every curve. I felt so comfortable the entire night! Cannot say enough about how much I love this dress!!!

This was my backup dress and I WISH I had another party to wear it to. Instead I just tried it on.  Was so stretchy and comfortable and less bare on top than I thought.  I usually wear an 8 and was nervous about the italian sizing, but the 46 was perfect.   Maybe I'll rent this next time!

I had gone through two backup dresses for the event I wore this to, as they were unavailable in my size on the date requested.  I loved this dress so much and RTR offered to send me any backup dress, without charge, for the inconvenience.  I chose this dress and, as I was in a rush, did not know it was Italian Sizing, which is different from European Sizing.  The dress I got SHOULD NOT have fit me - but it did.  It is so stretchy and forgiving and it just made my curves look great; make sure you review the sizing very well when ordering this dress.  But, I felt like a million bucks.  I also might suggest ordering the long if you are around 5'5" and plan to wear any heels at all (mine were less than 3" and still almost lifted the dress off the floor).  I may rent or buy this dress again in the future - it is just incredible!

The 40L was the perfect length. Im 5'9" and wore 4" heels. It was tight enough that I didnt need spanx or a bra. Was comfortable and easy to move in. I loved how it made my body look and Loved the lace at the top. My finace said this is his favorite dress that I have rented so far. 

I never wear black (mostly because I think its boring!) but I had a special black tie winter wedding and this fit the bill perfectly!  The lace detail is gorgeous and the snug fit makes this LBD stand out. I am 5'2, 115 lbs and the 40R was perfect. In fact I couldn't even fit my backup 38R over my hips (I pulled it up to put it on rather than over my head). What's great about this dress is that due to the rouching, you can make it as long or short as you need...great for us short gals.  

I love the slimming effects of this dress.  I was glad I read to pull the dress up from your legs to put it on instead of over your head.  I felt very elegant in this dress and will rent again from RTR for my next big event. 

I wore the 42L but honestly rhe 40L fit fine too, because of all the stretch in the dress.  Glad I ordered the Long.  I'm 5'6" but the ruching made it easy to adjust the length of the dress to fit your style. I highly recommend this dress.  Lots of compliments and very comfortable. 

Really loved this dress. The off shoulder lace felt very elegant. It is form fitting and it shows when you look at the dress from the side. Im about 5'5" - 5'6" and wore a regular length because that was available, but I would prefer a long length if I rented this dress again.

This was my backup dress and I adore it!  I didn't wear it because I wanted something with a bit more pop for the event but this dress is definitely a show stopper.  It's modest and elegant while still being sexy and super feminine.  I am 5'4" and 115lbs.  The only thing that scared me was pulling the dress on... I was afraid I was going to damage it but it was perfect and it is actually much more flexible than it seems.  I did wear a strapless bra while trying it on but you could easily go without.  I will definitely be renting this one again to wear to my next event!


I loved this dress. It was comfortable and elegant and classic. I recieved so many compliments!  I did classic makeup with a red, red, red lip. :)

Wore for my daughter's wedding.  She loved it, and so did I!  True to size, very comfortable.  Material provides great support, so no bra was needed.

Im 5'2" 125 and this dress was way too long for me - so I had to bunch up the dress around my waistline which caused me to lose what little waste I have- from bunching but I managed.  It was snug to get on so put on deoderant LAST ...  
It was thick material which was great and easy to walk in. Loved the sleeves. I didn't wear a bra. 
Wouldnt rent again but would recommend for people who are taller :) 

Dying to wear this but cant seem to find the right fit. 38r is way too short. 40l is way too long. Hoping a 40r will do the trick! 

This dress fit perfectly.  All of the reviews are accurate.  I ordered the long as recommended by previous reviews.  This dress is flattering and hides any flaws you may have.  I typically wear between a 6 and a 8.  RTR was awesome, the dress I wanted to wear had a hole in the seam and they overnighted me a replacement.   This is by far my favorite dress I have rented from RTR. 

All the reviews were right on! The dress was very flattering and form fitting. Didn't need to wear any support undergarments because there was so much spandex built into the dress. The fabric hid any imperfections, bumps and rolls. Felt great!

A gorgeous dress perfect for a formal affair. I officiated a wedding in this dress and found it to be just gorgeous and hugging every curve. Would rent again!
