This was a last-minute replacement dress. It has pockets! I wore it to a formal wedding during the hottest time in August (over 100*)! I didn't feel hot due to the dress. It was a bit tight in the bodice - no stretch or give, but otherwise wonderful! 

Ended up wearing it even though it was a bit tighter than I would have preferred.  I got a lot of complements on it.  

This dress is precious. It does have a zipper that is very hard to manage. It takes a team of people to zip. Ha. But- once on, it fits well and is adorable! I love it. Quality is very high. 

Loved this dress. Worked great with my red, patent leather Dior heels. Overall the dress fit well on my 5'1" frame. It hit me about mid-calf but looked good at that length. It was very tight in the bust area but I am busty (34DDD).  No need to wear a bra - the dress held me in place. 
The material was beautiful and it's hard to tell in the photo but has shiny silver threads running thruout. 
Also the big win - it has pockets!!! That was great and one of the reasons I wore the dress. 
I usually wear a size 6 but rented the size 8 and it fit well. I don't think my normal size 6 would have worked. 


This dress really is beautiful and I got tons of compliments. It was perfect for a May semi-formal wedding on an NYC rooftop. The reason I only rated three stars was due to all the issues with the dress - like the fact that even after sizing up my chest was still bursting at the seams - but any larger and the dress would’ve been too big throughout. The fabric has zero stretch, the zipper gets stuck easily and can be very difficult to work, and the fabric is very itchy. I’d avoid altogether if you have a larger chest. 

The bodice was a little loose on my (smaller) bust, but otherwise it fit beautifully. Perfect knee length. Pockets were a bonus! So many complements on the fabric and silhouette. Love love love.

Absolutely wonderful dress! Love the length, the fit, quality of material. Very comfortable and got sooo many compliments! 

Absolutely gorgeous dress - fabric, colors, fit was so pretty. Loved the pockets. Ran a bit tight in the chest FYI - I would size up next time 

Cute dress. Received a lot of compliments. Fit true to size. 

I wear a ten. This fit true to size. I ordered as an additional dress   I didn't wear as I wore the other dress but I'd definitely rent it. Great color And looks cute!!  

The only issue I had was the zipper! Definitely make sure you have time, patience and someone to help. It zipped up easily off my body. But as soon as I put it on it would not get past a certain part. It was definitely going to fit so it wasn't a fit issue just troublesome. The material is great and feel expensive. It would be great for a early winter or early spring I think! Just make sure you have time to troubleshoot! 

Amazingly beautiful dress, I loved it! The fabric is a brocade (or similar) and it has silver threading throughout. I wore it to a relative's day to night outdoor wedding/reception and ended up matching the navy trend going on there. It was a little tight in the bodice, but still fit and looked great. Even if the girls were popping out ever so slightly (but not obscenely). I was able to go braless, but the straps are wide enough that I could have worn a normal bra if I had needed to. The dress has pockets and the fabric is sturdy enough to actually support carrying items in them, plus they are big; I was carrying around things for other women who were not blessed with pockets in their slinky LBD.

I worked this dress to a September rehearsal dinner and received so many compliments.  The dress fit true to size (had a little extra room in the bust but I am small chested), and was very comfortable to wear. I loved the length and the pockets.

Pockets were so clutch. I didn't bring a purse. Amazing dress. 

Fit: top is true to size with no room to spare. Feels almost corseted through ribcage and supports the bust nicely. I was able to skip any sort of bra for this one. Open at lower waist and hip, so you can still eat :) If you are even slightly between sizes, size up. Dress has fairly functional pockets. Fabric: thick, holds its shape well. Low maintenance/no ironing was needed. Beautiful oversized floral print in many shades of pink, red, purple, yellow. Easy to accessorize. Metallic silver threads and texture form a swirling (almost paisley-like) pattern overlay. (Close-up photo shows this a bit.) Wore to an outdoor wedding on an 80-degree, sunny day and was comfortable all day and into the evening as it grew cooler. Overall: absolutely loved this dress! 

I wore this dress for a spring variety show I was singing in. It was perfect for the occasion. It has a great shape for stage, the floral pattern is lovely, the fabric is heavy enough to not worry about lighting and  it also has a subtle shimmer to it that's really pretty. I got lots of compliments on the style as well! The bust fit a bit weird, but I wore a shawl with it and you couldn't tell as much. It fits a bit snug, but it made my waist look smaller and I appreciated that. 

Wore this for my friends wedding rehearsal and it was perfect. Great length and the subtle shimmer in it gives it something special! I ordered one size up and it fit perfectly. Straps were a little long for me but other than that perfect. 

Really flattering, glamorous dress. The flowers are vibrant and just really beautiful. I loved the fitted waist and flared skirt (and pockets!!) Only small drawbacks were that straps were widely spaced such that I had to wear a strapless bra, and the zipper tended to stick in the middle. Overall, I loved it and felt beautiful (which is not an easy feat for me)!

Fit like a glove, pockets, and makes your waist look tiny! So many compliments make it even better!

The waist was very small and was difficult to pull over my bum. The larger size was way too big on the top. Also, the straps were too big and would pop up. The measurements increased a lot of just one size. I ended up squeezing into the smaller size. 

I loved wearing this dress! As others have said, it does run small. I usually wear a 16/18, and ordered an 18 and a 20. Ended up wearing the 18 and it fit perfectly. I did have a lot of trouble with the zipper on this dress...maybe it's been worn one too many times or maybe the zipper needs conditioning. Despite the dress being a perfect fit, the zipper was a fight the entire way up & down the dress. Other than that, it was beautiful and I got so many compliments! LOVED the pockets!

Lots of complements. I'm between sizes right now, fluctuate between 18/20, went with 20. 

Very comfortable and cute dress! loved the pockets, not too tight in the armpits & the perfect fabric for a late summer/early fall outdoor wedding. a little big in the chest, but i have a small bust 

It's such a beautiful and classic dress. I rented this for Christian Siriano's fashion show during NYFW. I normally wear a 10, but the rib cage area was too tight (it fits like an a-line dress). I think a 12 would've been perfect, but that size was unavailable when I ordered. I ended up wearing a 14 and safety pinned the dress under my arms. Paired with a cute jacket, it worked for what I needed!

I wish I could keep this dress. So flattering, quality material, pockets. I am a 36E or so and it was a little loose on the straps and near tge bust, but I do not have the perkiest chest. Nothing a lot of fashion tape couldn't fix! I felt fabulous in this dress

I loved the print and the pockets. The dress did a good job holding in my tummy which is my problem area. My only complaint is that the dress is VERY hard to zipper so I had to size up in order to get the zipper closed, even though the larger size was a little too big in the chest and shoulders. 

Wore this to the theatre to watch my friend perform on stage! How beautiful is this dress! Runs true to size and hug the breast perfectly. Love love love! Has pockets 

I'll start off y saying I'm not a selfie person. I decided to snap and post a selfie to my story after prepping for this party at the lounge in the SF RTR store and got more reactions and responses than anything I'd posted to my story before. This dress got tons of compliments in person at the event as well. Love the cut of the skirt--very flattering length and shape. 

I sized up two sized for my curvy frame and I'm glad I did! Straps were a little loose on my 5'6" frame, but fit my 36D bust perfectly!

Pockets were key and got many compliments at this black tie optional wedding. Would wear again! 

High quality fabric, lining and construction. Zipper is a two person effort but worked great!

I was surprised by the fit of this dress. The 14 was a smidge too small, and the 16 was a little too big up top, even though I'm fairly large-busted. The straps were too long and the dress gapped under the arms. Fortunately it was nothing some clear double-sided tape couldn't handle. Overall, the dress was beautiful. I thought the fabric was a little scratchy, but it packed easily and fell beautifully. I got tons of compliments and I felt pretty. Oh! And it has pockets!

I loved this dress so much I am going to buy it. I received so many compliments and turned heads in this dress. 

Like other reviewers I had to pin up the straps, 1 1/2 inches, just to make it sit right. The waist was a little high, but I was fine with it. The lining is also alot more snug than most dresses I've tried on through RTR. I got tons of compliments on the dress! 

Showstopping dress, with pockets! I received so many compliments on this dress. I am 5'1" and the dress hit at a true midi length right at my calf. Best twirling skirt and perfect for a summer wedding.

The dress is beautiful.  I rented it for a Kentucky Derby party and got lots of compliments. The fit is very comfortable, although I found the inside seems to be scratchy so I wore a slip underneath. 

Beautiful dress worn to church for Easter! The fabric is gorgeous and has a silver metallic threading that makes it even prettier. The top fit me very tight but was tolerable. Great dress!

This is the perfect dress for a pear shape! Also it is NAVY, with silver, honestly a stunning textile. I normally wear a 16/18 depending on cut and fabric type. I wore a 20 and probably could have gone with the 18. There is a lot of room in the hips, so size for your bust. At a 38B the 20 was slightly too large in the bust, so I wore a padded bra so it fit correctly. Overall I agree with other reviews that the fit is a little odd, but it worked out for me! 

The dress is absolutely gorgeous!!  The dress is navy blue with these silver floral designs throughout the dress.  Any dress with pockets is a plus!  I am probably considered an apple shape & definitely had to go up a size.  The 18 was very tight in the waist but fit my bust perfectly (38D).  I wore the 20 which was a tad too big in the bust and but fit more than comfortably in the waist.   People mentioned issues with the straps but I found they were fine. 

This dress is absolutely gorgeous! I LOVE the pockets. My zipper was a little tricky to get up, but once it was zipped, I didn't have any trouble. 

This dress received soo many compliments! I rented this for a wedding rehearsal luncheon and it was perfect for the occasion.The overall fit of the top was small so if you are busty such as myself, you do want to size up. As the other renters have stated, the straps kept falling off the shoulders, so pining was necessary. All in all, I liked the dress and would definitely rent again. 

I rented this dress for a fundraiser dinner. I'm normally a 12, but since it's designer, I went up a size and that was perfect. Fabric is gorgeous, has silver shimmer! I got lots of compliments and felt very special in Siriano!
