It fit me really well and was true to size. Arms were def a bit tight like the other reviews said, but all in all the dress was elegant, a lil heavy (not in a bad way), and unique

I was the best dressed….at The WHITE HOUSE! Nuf said. Definitely go with a turquoise/ teal heel. Black & nude have been done. This dress deserves a vibrant complement. 

My first time RTR and i am a huge fan. Everything was seamless and it fit perfectly. I got compliments all night long. It was a show stopper and i felt so beautiful it in. Highly recommend!

Absolutely perfect fit and length, lined and excellent quality. Because it is more A-line, would not be ideal for dancing.  People were stopping and asking me where I purchased the dress and the designer!

I wore this dress for a lady's night at a museum and dinner. Felt like a million dollars in this one. Great, heavy weights fabric and beautiful design. Only con is that it was a little tight in my arms but nothing too unbearable. Went and rented a couple more dresses from this designer!!

Showstopper, really comfortable and fits true to size. I'm a 32DD, weight 120 and the zero was perfect. Arms a bit tight but overall not bad! Rent this dress you won't regret it! 

The arms were very tight so dancing the night away is a struggle as you can't raise your arms past shoulder level. Of course, I could have tucked the arms into the dress but LOVED the look. Very fine quality seamstress & will rent again for appropriate occasion! Highly recommend!

It fit me perfectly, was very comfortable and easy to wear. 

This is one of the most beautiful, unique dresses I’ve ever worn - absolutely stunning and perfect for almost any wedding dress code. Only caution is to size up if you’re between sizes and/or have a fuller chest because there is no stretch. 

The dress is beautiful and I received many compliments. Unfortunately RTR was only able to send my backup (smaller) size, which was too small. I was able to wear it, but it made for an uncomfortable night as this dress has 0 give. I think it would have been perfect in my true size 6. Like others mentioned, I needed to tuck the arms in as those were far too small.

The colors are great, the embroidery is gorgeous, the silhouette beautiful… but the neckline and underarms killed me. It rubbed on my collarbones and I had red rashes by them end of the night. The things you do for beauty. Worth one wear but not for a long time… maybe just my sensitive skin 🤷🏼‍♀️

There was only size 2 available. I was a little scared after reading the tight shoulder reviews. It was a little tight with no stretch bc it’s lace, but didn’t bother me. I received compliments on how different and artsy but perfect it was. I also don’t have much of a chest, the 2 definitely would not have fit if I had a bigger chest, but I do have broad shoulders. I loved it.

This dress was a huge hit at an October wedding, and it was largely comfortable! The only issue I had with it were the sleeves were a little constricting (not tight, just... constricting), which made vigorous dancing and exiting the Uber a bit challenging. I'd def rent again though!

Flattering dress with beautiful details. I'm usually a size 0-2, and went with the 2 and it fit great. Pros - gorgeous lace details, very unique, flattering fit. Cons - fabric has no stretch or give. Great length for petites. 

I have fairly curvy hips with a smaller waist and this fit me well. The only issue was the arms were a bit snug. I had to have help pulling them up and had difficulty lifting my arms overhead while wearing the dress. I saw other reviewers had tucked them in, but I liked the look of them out. Received many compliments so the very minimal discomfort was worth it. Still able to dance all night!

If you do not pay attention to what you are doing you will get wrong and the sleeves will not show, also it was a little to long but great for a networking event where I was making an appearance 

So many compliments!! Perfect fit, I'm normally between a 0 and 2 and the 0 worked for me. Keeping for a wedding, will be very sad to return this one

Sturdy lace with high quality zipper and lining.  I did not need a bra (I have a small bust line) or shapewear--with the heavy lace you could not see a lump if you wanted to.  This made for a very comfortable night!  The style and length were great. I wanted to stand out in a huge sea of more conservative and primarily floor length dresses (military event for parents) and this was perfect--striking but not inappropriate.  Confirmed other reviewers that there is no stretch and I could not get my biceps in the arms--not just that it was uncomfortable--I could not get them in at all.  I rented a similar MN dress with these exact same sleeves as back up and could get my biceps in that one.  I'd love to see RTR remove them for future wearers.  You can tuck them but it is a little lumpy and annoying.  

You can where sleeves in or out. It was structured and fit perfectly.

Incredible fit, especially for a long torso like mine. I thought the sleeves were doing to be restrictive but I danced all night. Most compliments I've ever been given. 

It was a beautiful fit - perfect.  I love the open "top of the arms".  My arms are not as attractive as they once were and this was just MARVELOUS to have a bit of open on the sleeve.
No need for spanx!   The fabric is gorgeous and form fitting.
It was so appropriate for the party.

I loved this dress, it was perfect for my best friends wedding. Overall, it was a bit snug around the arms so I decided to tuck the sleeves in to be more comfortable throughout the day. Although true to size, I would recommend sizing up since there isn't any give in the material. I definitely would have been more comfortable in a size up. Loved it overall, absolute standout! 

So originally I ordered an eight, and four was the backup size since 6 was unavailable...
RTR emails me saying 8 is unavailable two days before the event. 

So I wore the 4 but like all other reviews stated the arm sleeves are too small and thus were tucked in and the dress was worn sleeveless. 

The length was JUST right I am 4'9"

This was my first time using RTR and I didn't realize I hit the jackpot with this dress being available! I wore it to a wedding where the dress code was 'festive finery', it was stunning. I'm usually a size 4 and the 4 fit perfectly -- hugged my body but wasn't too tight. Like others said, the sleeves are a bit tight, I had to get them over my arms veerrry slowly, but once on I didn't have a problem. I wore the dress for 11 hours, and the neck was a little uncomfortable by the end of the night, but nothing that would make me not want to wear it again. I was truly sad to return it - so many compliments!
