I typically wear a size 4, I’m 5’5 and 120 lbs. the 40R was a perfect fit. Glad I read comments to step into the dress and pull it up! 

This dress is lovely!  The gathering at the waist is very flattering, and the neckline detail is unique. There is no lining, and no zipper. Sort of a neoprene material, pretty stretchy. When I tried it on over my head my strapless bra ended up at my waist as I wrestled it on. I finally figured out I could step into it with some wiggling.  I don't know Europe sizing well, so I am not sure it's true-to-size, but I wear a 4 or 6 pant and 6 or 8 top. Even with a long my shoes peaked out. Loved it. 

This photo is silly but it shows my favorite part of the dress - the fit! Modest yet va-va-voom! 

*NOTE* I did wear one size up in this style due to the fabric, and although I'm hardly 5'6", the 42L just barely touched the floor with 2" heels. I wore a strapless bra, seamless standard underwear and Spanx.

I have severe eczema and leading up to this event, I knew I needed a modest style that would hide my healing yet still visible outbreak. I'm 25 and I didn't want to wear my grandma's dress either. :) RTR to the rescue! 

Stretchy and hugged me perfectly and got a ton of compliments 

This is the most forgiving, comfortable, flattering gown. Step into it and pull it up. It’s heavy and warm for winter. I’d love to buy it!

This dress is simple and elegant. I loved the cutout along the neckline and the detail on the side. It was chilly the night I wore this dress, and I loved having the sleeves and not having to deal with a wrap! It is comfortable and classy. The material is not thin, which I loved. It is fitted, but it was so “easy” to wear- it falls nicely on the body and is flattering. I debated on sleeves/no sleeves, but it was absolutely perfect! I would rent this again. 

Bodice made my waist look smaller than it is. Bottom hung just right and the accent created such flattering curves. It’s walks beautifully and felt effortless! Beyond comfortable!

This dress was my backup and it was a long as a second size.  I am about 5'8" and I wore 2-3" heels - the long was perfect! The regular length would have come mid-low calf.  I got SO many compliments on this dress! The color was gorgeous and it was so flattering.  

Great gala gown. Received many compliments. If you have shoulder injury or if you don't have anyone to help pull this gown over your head at the end of the night, don't rent it! It was very comfortable to wear but just hard to get off. You must have your hair and makeup done AFTER pulling this gown over your head. Loved this gown!

Great dress. Lovely color. It's a heavy material. I'm 5 10 and 165lbs. 

Great fit! Plenty of compliments coming all night. Length was perfect for 5'4" with heels. Beautiful look while being low maintenance!

Fit is right on. The stretchy, heavy fabric is fabulous, fitted, but forgiving. Perfect dress to dress up - or not - with heavy jewelry. Bonus: I could wear kitten heels and be comfortable all night long. I've never gotten so many compliments as with this dress. 

This dress fit like a glove and accentuated all the right places while keeping it classy. I wore this to a professional formal event and received tons of compliments. I would rent again. Very comfortable for a long event. The color is unusual and definitely will make you stand out in a crowd. 

Love the fabric, for and overall cool feel of the dress 

Fit true to size. I wear 12/14. I am only 5'4 but wanted to make sure this was long enough with 4" heels. 

Fits like a glove, and the color shown is identical in person.

Literally received 100 compliments on this dress. Loved the fabric (almost like a wet suit material). Loved the color. Loved the sleeve. Overall great gown. 

It fit great!  Thick material so I didn't need any spanx type undergarments.  It worked great with a strapless bra.  I am 5'1.5" and I used about a 3 inch heel and it came perfectly to the floor.  I normally wear between a 4 and 6 and the 42R was perfect.  It was cold at my event and this fabric was perfect to keep me warm, I especially loved having 3/4 length sleeves.  I highly recommend this dress :)

I got a lot of compliments on this dress!! Definitely the next wedding guest dress 

The dress fit well, was incredibly comfortable and stunning. I am short waisted so the detail slit/opening in the bodice was closed unless I pulled down on the waist. I was able to climb into the dress feet first, but my hips are narrow, so not to mess up my hair--thanks for the other reviews with the suggestion.

This dress is absolutely amazing and I reccomend it so highly. I was worried the navy blue would be a bit boring or the dress would feel almost matronly but in was so wrong. The color is beautiful in person and the dress fit amazing. Sooo many compliments on it. I am a 36DD and there was enough support I didn't need a bra. Rent this dress!
