This was a very pretty dress and comfortable for an all evening event! With heels it was just a tad too short but was not a big deal for me because I am very short although for anyone even a little taller the length would become a problem if you plan on wearing heels. The dress is flattering with a very subtle shimmer to it and not too over the top. I felt very pretty in it and received many compliments on the dress!! 

The dress is beautiful and elegant, with just the right amount of sparkle for a formal wedding. The fit was true to size and the dress was super comfortable all night long. The draping of the dress is beautiful and would be flattering on any figure. I'm 5'6" 140 lbs and wore a size 8L. As the other reviewers mentioned, the dress runs short. The photo is taken after I kicked off my heels. Even in flip flops, you could see a good bit of my feet.

Originally I reserved a different gown for a black tie, New Years Eve wedding. Unfortunately the dress I wanted was returned damaged. RTR helped me find two other options in the size I needed which was a 4P. I chose this David Meister gown because the fit was absolutely perfect and it was the perfect amount of glitz for a New Year's Eve wedding. I didn't want to go with sequins, because I thought it would be too flashy. This dress has a beautiful gold shimmer to it. The fit and length were perfect too, as I am only 5ft tall. I was comfortable all night and received many compliments throughout the night. Very happy with this dress! Hated to send it back! 

The fit was good although I felt fat in it but that's my fault of course.

I rented this for the Metropolitan Opera on New Year's Eve. I am petite & the dress ran longer than expected, even with my three inch heels. I had to carry it whenever I walked. I received lots of compliments that night. 

I'm so glad I picked this dress for a fall black tie wedding! In person the material is black with gold threading, but photographs as a pretty bronze color. I was happy with more coverage in the straps/chest compared to the stock photo. I wish the band fell a bit lower to accentuate the waist, but maybe that's just my body type. The dress might run slightly large, I'm usually a 4-6 in fitted dresses, and the 2L was a tad snug on top but the 4L top was a tad large. The hips aren't fitted so I went with the 2L. The bottom of the 2L dress skimmed the floor when I wore flats, and I'm only 5'6.5, so, this dress might not work if you want to be any taller than that. 

I turned to RTR for the first time to find a gown for a friend's black tie wedding after hearing great things from friends about their experience. I figured I'd rather spend under $100 on a rental than $300+ on a dress I'll only wear once. I picked this dress because it looked so good on so many different body types and I couldn't have been happier with the outcome! This dress was not only comfortable, but it fit in all the right places. I rented the 6L and 8L and was glad I listened to the other reviews and got the long, because any shorter would've been too short with heels. I probably could've gone with a bit taller shoes as the dress was a bit long with the 2" heel shoes I wore. The 8 was just a tad big in some places so I went with the 6, which is my usual size. The material and color is so unique, I got tons of compliments. I can't wait to try RTR again... wedding season's just begun! 

I am 5'4", 130 lbs, and wore the 4L-- although a 6L also would have worked as well. I got both sizes in Long once I read the reviews and I was glad that I did--- and it DEFINITELY needs the extra length if you are over about 5'2" and want to wear any size heel at all. The color is black with a gold shimmer to it, although it tends to read a more coppery color in photos. It is very comfortable, easy to move around in, and photographs beautifully; I loved it!!!

Love the color and the material this dress is made of.  Very comfortable to wear.  I'm only 5'3" and the dress was the perfect length.  It would definitely be too short for anyone taller.

The dress was awesome since it allows for a regular bra! I wore the 8L and had a 10R (ran out of L) as a back up size. I usually have to size up for extra room in the bust but the 8L was fit perfect (minus needing someone to help zip it that final inch!). The 10R fit too loosely in the chest  (twisted fabric detail) and was not as flattering. The regular length hit at a funny part at my foot and didn't feel right - shorter heels would have probably solved that. The long length was a bit long - I wore 4.5 in heels with the 8L.

This was my first rental and it worked out perfectly. The dress fit like it was tailored and I received compliments all night. I gave it four stars because of the dress material. While it looked pretty, it was a little scratchy around the neckline and arms. Otherwise, everything was perfect!

This was one of the dresses that I ordered with customer service after my first options were too small. This was too big. I have a muffin top and DD's and I thought this would fit my frame which it did but way too big. My usual dress size is a 10. B/c I ordered a 10 in the first few dresses with no luck in fit I went with a 12 in this one to be safe. It was not flattering on me at all. I had too much space on the chest area and just made me look like I had 2 giant blobs but not the attractive kind. I really wanted this dress to work but it didn't. This dress would work more for small frames up top. It also brought attention to the areas I wanted to hide. What I did like about this is that I would not have needed 5 inch heels to wear it since I was shoeless when I took the picture and the dress was just touching the floor with my 5'2 frame. This dress unfortunately, wasn't for me.

Main downside is that it has these painful little spear-points (part of the sparkle?) that dig into your underarm and back... These drove me nuts until I had a few drinks and kind of forgot about them. 
Also wasn't a huge fan of the draping at the chest - made it a bit more of a "mom" dress than at 20-something dress. Ultimately I did wear this and got a bunch of compliments, but it wasn't the best dress out there. 
What I did love about this dress was the length - I'm 5'2" and finding a long dress that doesn't drag on the floor and trip me is a bit tough. No problem here - wore the "2 regular" and was was able to wear medium-to-low heels without any problems.

I have large breasts and this one still fit me perfectly. The length was spot on and I liked how it wasn't skin tight on my stomach area, but still very classy and beautiful. 

I chose this dress for my very first RTR, and it was a good choice. I have a large chest (36DD) and needed something I could wear with a regular bra. This gown looked great; the gathered front is flattering and the gold-flecked material is a nice change of pace from a straight black dress. I ordered the 8R with a 10R as a backup, and wound up wearing the 10R because I couldn't get the 8R to zip up in the back. I was grateful for the small package of fashion tape that RTR sent, because I needed it to secure the dress to my bra in the front and to the straps in the back to keep them from peeping out. 

I loved this dress, I got the 6L as a back up size and it fit great, but it was too short!  And the 8L was really a little too short too, but I wore 1inch heels and got away with it.  This dress is super comfortable!

Loved this dress- the color works on everyone, the cut is flattering (manages the curves), it's a comfortable and low-maintenance fabric to handle for a night of dancing. I wore a regular bra, which is obviously a plus too. To note, I am 5'4'' and originally ordered the regular length... almost 4 inches too short, so thankfully the goddesses at RTR were able to overnight the long length, which I ended up wearing. Would recommend to anyone!

Dress is very comfortable (which isn't common with sequin dresses) and has great coverage for still wearing a bra with straps. Lightweight shimmery material looks better and photographs better than it looks on the website. 

I wore this dress to a law school formal and it was perfect for the event. I got tricked by all the reviews saying this dress was too short and I wanted to ensure that it would still be floor length even with heals, so I ordered the long rather than the regular. However the long was a little too long for me, I had to hold it up anytime I was walking. Other than that, I was really happy with the silhouette and the style of the dress. 

I wore this dress for an inaugural ball and could not have been happier! The fabric has some stretch so it was quite comfortable. I ordered a size up for my back up but wore my normal size. I was able to wear a regular bra which is always a plus with a bigger bust! I wore 4 inch heels and the length was perfect, it just skimmed the floor, however, if you are tall this dress would be much too short.
