This was a tight squeeze so attending this wedding solo I needed help to zip up this dress. The arm tightness prevents you from zipping up the dress fully, but didn't prevent raising my arms for dancing. But it was stunning and I got lots of compliments. Wore kitten heels and the length was the right and didn't drag on the ground at all. 

The length is perfect for sandals or heels! I got so many compliments. I wore simply gold earrings, no need for a necklace. 

I had ordered another dress for a wedding that I was excited to wear, so I was very disappointed when, 2 days before the dress delivery, I was told that the dress could not be shipped to me and I needed to choose something else. With only 2 days to go, there wasn't much of a selection, but I selected this dress and hoped for the best. Did I ever luck out! The wedding we went to was black tie, with an outdoor garden ceremony, and this dress was PERFECT. I'm short - only about 5'3" - so this dress was just about floor length with 2" heels. The top of the dress covered me up, but the mesh didn't make me feel stuffy or conservative. The fit was perfect - curve-hugging without being tight, flattering in every way, and flowy and fun for the dance floor. I typically wear a 14, and I wore the 16 in this dress (with smoothing shapewear underneath, as it is a fitted dress). I would rent this dress again in a heartbeat - this time as my FIRST choice. 

wore this dress for a school event and I was the best dressed! this dress is so well made, the details are beautiful, and it is so comfortable to wear!

The dress is supposed to be ankle length but was more floor length on me, which I think was actually prettier, so great dress if petite.  Size up if bigger bust, as there is no give.  

You know how you utilize RTR because you only go to so many formal affairs a year... THIS one I would buy!!

I'm 126, 5'5 and have broader shoulders and didn't notice any of the tightness that some mentioned - fit like a glove! Perfect fit for the Bridgerton event but I would also rent again for a wedding or something - great fit! 

Stunning dress! I wanted an elegant summer rehearsal dinner dress but not " fancy"... Black with embroidered flowers in a dream color palette was perfect! The illusion chest and sleeves were flattering & feminine! Long length was exactly what I wanted and this dress was very comfortable! Loved this dress & wore it once more because I had too!!

I had a 1 1/2 hour drive to & from wedding & it was very comfortable to drive in.  There were a couple of spots that were a little big but I think the smaller size would have been too small. I would love to have as my own

I rented for a very special Christmas dinner ! I loved it ! I got so many compliments, some from total strangers ! I love this designer, and will seek it out again. 

I am short (5'2") and the over skirt was long . I was unable to shorten it, although after wearing it I figured out how I could have without it looking odd. 

I was concerned that the over skirt and sheer on the sleeves would be scratchy, it was not . 

Definitely would rent again 

Loved wearing this dress.  The quality of workmanship is incredible and the embroidered flowers made the dress pop in a sea of black gowns.  
The fit was perfect but a little hard to zip up if you're on your own 
I would definitely rent again.  

Wore this for a very long wedding (3pm to 5am!). Very comfortable, smoothed all the right places. The wedding was quite formal, but the embroidered flower details give the dress a fun, whimsical feel. Would rent again! 

The lace at the top was a little scratchy but I stopped noticing it at the joyous party.

This dress fit me perfectly. It was very comfortable and the material/cloth was beautiful and good quality.  I usually wear a 12, but I read it runs a little small so got the 14R as a backup and ended up wearing the 14R.  I definitely recommend this dress for a fall wedding. 

I rented 2 dresses and went with the 10R. The shoulders were a little tighter but I was able to move my arms. The colors of the flowers were so beautiful and the black looked nice for a September wedding. I loved the see through top, and the length of it.

Beautifully made dress. Conservative with just a bit of pizazz. Lots of compliments. The cons: the sleeves have no give. They weren’t tight, but hard to stretch out and move my arms. I ended up with my back up size (14 instead of 12) which I think is typical to size up in designer gowns. A strapless bras is a must with this gown. 

The dress is long if you’re on the shorter side, you’ll need tall shoes. 

Lots of compliments. I wore a black bra with narrow straps under it rather than strapless and they just looked like part of the dress. A bit snug around the middle but was still comfortable. 

Loved this dress, but it was tight. I wear 14 pants comfortably/loose, and can sometimes squeeze into my 12s, but I should have ordered sooner and gotten the 16.  It was a struggle to zip. However, the material was wonderful and it didn’t LOOK too small. I got so many compliments. As other reviews here say, the sleeve is tight around the arms, but I would absolutely recommend this dress. 

I loved this dress so much. I sized up by one size and that was the right choice. I have a brought back and shoulders (swimmer life), so anything with a restrictive back won't fit in my normal size (12-14). With that being said, the size 14 almost fit me, but didn't because of my broad back/shoulders. The only con with this dress is that I couldn't raise my arms above my shoulders, but that was alright with me. I didn't wear a bra, but did have silicon cups on in case of chafe, which didn't occur. I'd rent this again!


Ribbon around stomach becomes a bit constricting & uncomfortable, so if you’re carrying some holiday weight or bloat in the belly be mindful!😉 other than that, tons of compliments on this dress.

The zipper is very firm and hard to get on. Also it’s a little tight around the arm.

I loved this dress, the fabric was beautiful and I received compliments all night. The 10 fit slightly better than the 14, but the shoulders were crazy tight if I tried to move my arms, so be warned to size up if you want to move your arms at all. I would wear again!

She is a bit more petite than I am, 5,3 so you will need a little bit of a heel. Can be tight if you C sized breast. But otherwise gorgeous dress!

Loved this! Got a ton of compliments. For sure size up as it does run a little small. The arms were tight and not a ton of mobility there but overall nice dress!

Fit a little tight in the sleeves but was fine for the event. Received so many compliments and was very comfortable. 

Arms were tight, and I wore a body shaper for tummy. But, I felt beautiful and mostly comfortable for a 5 hour event! Just couldn’t raise my arms above my head. 

The colors are vibrant and so pretty! The sheer top is flattering while providing plenty of coverage. The length hit me at my ankle, but still looked good with heels. Comfortable to sit in, too. 

I’m 59 but on the younger side 😉, so wanted something that was not too conservative but not “hoochie momma” either. This dress was perfect. 

  I ordered a size 8 even though I usually wear a six because previous reviews mentioned it ran small and there wasn’t a 6 available.  Glad I did and think a 10 would’ve been more comfortable.  Thought it was tea or midi length but on me it was long and the perfect length for my lower heels. (This event had a lot of walking around and comfy shoes were critical.).  The dress was very pretty and I received so many compliments.  But definitely size up about 2 sizes unless you want to feel constricted.  This fabric has no give whatsoever.  

All in all I was pleased with the service and the dress.  I will definitely RTR again if I have another fun event to attend.  

I am 5'3 and weigh 98 lbs. The size 0 was a bit tight in tge back. The size 2 fit was perfect! I will DEFINITELY use again!! Everything was so easy, to the ordering to the return. I highly recommend!
