Pretty dress! It slides off the shoulder a bit and was not tight at all. (A little big in fact) i am a true 6 usually but this was like on me. 
Because the style is so flattering it didn't matter that it was large. 
Lots of compliments, would recommend!

Got lots of compliments on this dress. 
However, after reading the reviews, I purchased doubled sided Hollywood tape. The top lace & sleeves above the bustline are not structured & very "blousey ". Had I not secured the sleeves with tape they would definitely fall off the shoulder. 

Absolutely beautiful dress. Waist and hips were form fitting but was still comfortable. Sleeves were a little hard to keep up.  

1 shoulder had to be pinned to bra, should have had clips. Belt fabric inside itchy but high waisted panties Spanx took care of it. I loved this dress! Fabulous.

I wore this dress to a summer wedding at a yacht club. I paired it with gold jewelry and gold dress sandals. Dress is gorgeous. The blues and greens are so perfect for spring or summer: I love this designer, her dresses are gorgeous and so well made. It's lined and I was able to wear a regular bra without issue 

Wore this for the church wedding of a family friend, loved the dress looked very high end. I was only able to rent the 12 which was a tad big on me but was still beautiful. I received a ton of compliments!

Beautiful details and got a bunch of compliments on it! A push-up bra would probably be best for small-chested women like me. Unforgiving in the tummy area - Spanx work great. Needed to use double-sided tape at the shoulders to keep them up and some detail on the chest to tack it down. The zipper on this dress is very difficult at the waist due to the banding. My husband's method to get me in and out of the dress was to push in while zipping. Otherwise, loved the dress!

I rented this dress for my morning shower and got so many compliments on it! This is the second Marchesa Notte dress I've rented for a special occasion and it's my go-to. 

The fit was perfect.  I usually use a size 6 but my hips sometimes need an 8.  The fit was sexy but not tight.  The lace was roomie around the arms and stayed put on the skin in front and back; no weird folding or bending.  The pale blue. light green and silver/gray lace color is very easy to compliment with neutral color accessories (shoes and clutch).

I rented this for my graduation pictures to celebrate my PhD. And it was perfect. Classy elegant and so beautiful. Fit great too. 

Beautifully made dress. Weirdly enough it fit okay from the hips down but was very loose (see photo) on the top. Would like to rent again but might try and size down 1 size. 

Wore this to a family wedding. Very classy, tasteful but different style. Definitely stood out and got so many compliments. Comfy to wear, felt like it was tailored to my body. 

This is such a gorgeous dress and you can tell it's made well! Actually has a zipper that WORKS and is a beautiful shape. I would rent this again.

 Very, very classy and elegant but not over the top. Showed my figure very well. Is form fitting so if you are bigger in too or bottom, then order size up as it has NO GIVE!  

I absolutely adored this dress! I received so many compliments. I am flat-chested so the top was a little loose but it didn't bother me or ruin the fit. I felt beautiful wearing it. The colors are subtle but the pattern is stunning. I suggest wearing a push-up strapless bra. 

Great fit! Wore for Easter. Have never had so many compliments!

This dress fit true-to-size, and I was able to wear the size 10.  As other reviewers have noted, the waist is banded with a ribbon which has ZERO stretch to it.  If I didn't hold in my stomach, the dress in profile was not super flattering.  But if you don't mind a little pouch, the overall look of the dress was very up-scale and elegant.  The lace of the outer layer is light green, light blue/purple and ivory and looks very expensive and well done.  The under layer is actually a light green and has stretch to it, but the lace of the outer layer prevents any significant "give."  So, best to order a size that will fit and not try to squeeze into a smaller size.
While I am somewhat busty (36E) I had no problem with cleavage showing, or feeling over exposed - which may have more to do with my 57 year old figure than the dress itself.  But I was able to wear a normal bra with it and did not have to wear a strapless contraption.  This made the entire evening much more comfortable.  I don't know that my shoulders are particularly broad, but I had no problem with the sleeves staying up and did not need or use fashion tape to hold everything together - as others have said.
Edited to add:  As I look back now on the pictures of the event and reflect on how I felt at the time, this dress made me feel as pretty as I have ever been.  A great rental of a terrific dress!

I wore this dress for my engagement photos. The color and style was perfect for the look I was going for, but the sizing was a little off for my body type. I wore the zero and I'm a 32B and the top was too large. My hips were snug in the dress so the proportion is better for someone with larger boobs or broader shoulders and smaller hips. It worked for photos but I wouldn't have been able to wear to an event because the top wouldn't have stayed in place. I'm very happy with how the pictures turned out though so it was a winner!

Perfect fit, gorgeous material, beautiful dress!!

Tried on, hard to zip. The zipper is extremely difficult. Sleeves are a tad big, nice thing is you can wear a regular bra and pin the sleeves to it. Lace had a slight tear at the hem line where it's not lined.  Did not choose this dress wasn't sure I could zip it by myself in a hotel room.

I am petite, only 5'2". The top of the dress was a bit long making the neck line a little too deep. I put some loose stitches in the shoulders to bring it up. This worked perfectly! The fit was great for the entire event. Not too long or too short. It hit me just below the knee. I overheard a younger man at the reception say to a friend, "Great job on the dress mom!"

Beautiful unique dress! Great for a summer wedding. A little big in the shoulders and top. I probably could have gone down a size but, I made it work. 

I felt so beautiful in this dress. Colors are amazing! Highly recommend! Perfect for a Spring/Summer wedding! 

This was the perfect dress for my college graduation - I got SO many compliments on how beautiful it was and how well it fit me. My sister remarked that it looked like it was custom made for me! The two biggest downsides are: 1) the sleeves are very loose for petite people - as other reviewers had said, fashion tape is a MUST to keep the sleeves from slipping down, and 2) I'm very petite (5'1", 120 lbs, wide hips) so the dress falls mid-calf, which can make you look very short. It's gorgeous in photos from the knees up, but if a picture is showing your full body (as in the one I shared), you look tiny. Other than that, it is BEAUTIFUL and I would highly recommend it! This was also my first RTR experience and I loved how easy everything was - if you're on the fence, I would say go for it!

I rented this for our family pictures and am super ecstatic with how it turned out. I felt beautiful and let the dress speak for itself. It's elegant and conservative but stunning all at the same time. I would definitely rent this beauty again!

I wore this to the Kentucky Derby and got so many compliments on it! It fits like a dream, doesn't wrinkle, and is actually comfortable. It's such a gorgeous color and fabric. Would recommend to anyone!

There's a grosgrain ribbon built into the waist with no give at all so it was a little uncomfortable by midday.

Very Classy and Beautiful Details. 

Unfortunately the Sleeves kept falling so I had to safety pin to my bra- but that was the positive was able to wear a regular bra. 



Perfect very elegant for daytime wedding.

This dress photographed better than it felt on.  I couldn't go smaller or the bottom wouldn't fit, couldn't go bigger or the top would fall off.  As it was, the sleeves are so heavy that I had to tape myself in everywhere.  That said, once I got into it, the dress was really beautiful, especially for a tea party themed baby shower.  

I rented this for Easter and despite the teeny peek of cleavage, it was a perfect easter dress! The lace is beautiful but mine had several pulls in it. They weren't terribly noticeable but it is pretty delicate. I am now an exact size 6 in everything and the 6 fit fairly well but the hips were a bit of a squeeze. Waist and bust fit perfectly and could almost be called roomy. I wouldn't recommend sizing up unless you REALLY think you need extra hip room. Overall, a wonderful dress!

P.S. I'm 5'6" and felt the dress was a tad long. Definitely pushing tea length on anyone shorter.

It fit really well (the size 8) which made me glad they couldn't ship out the size 6, as it likely wouldn't have zipped up! A little spacious in the chest area, hence why I am wearing a cardigan over it. I was sad it didn't match the hat I had originally purchased, so I decided to go on and make my own Easter Bonnet, which turned out amazing! Lots of compliments on the dress and hat combo!

Beautiful lace design. Flattering fit. #spring #wedding #lace

This dress was so pretty & I received so many compliments. Loved the lace and colors. Bery feminine!

Got about a zillion compliments - great for church as it's long and has a little sleeve - very elegant- but was quite faint and needed the spray tan to avoid looking like a ghost 

A little tight in the middle try sizing up if mid area and hips are fuller the ribbon sash has no give.  Get help with the zipper it's very difficult.  The sleeves fall over immediately so buy dress tape for shoulders and the lace should display perfectly. 
Length is conservative and detailing on the lace is exquisite.
