What a beautiful and classic dress! I received a ton of compliments and really felt like a star wearing this dress. The color and the flow of the dress are breathtaking. I did need to use some fabric tape for the bust, as otherwise I would've given everyone a show, but the dress was unforgettable I was willing to deal with that side of it. Would definitely recommend!

True to the pictures -- Great color, super comfortable light fabric, and a flattering silhouette.  I rarely wear long dresses as I find them often heavy and uncomfortable, but this one was effortless. 
Size: The dress ran small.  I almost always wear a 2, and this was a 6.  (I think the 4 would have worked too but wasn't available) -- I'd recommend ordering one size up.   
Length: I am 5'4" and wore 4" heels and the dress was just the right length / could have been a tad shorter.  
Neck line:  I don't think you can wear this without dress tape to secure the deep v-neck to avoid flashing the party when you lean over.  With the tape, it was secure all night after hours on the dance floor.  I went without a bra which I rarely do, but the pleats on the front give enough coverage.   The dress has a good lining so you don't see underwear lines either. 

The dress is pretty and the color was perfect for the event.  Like others have said, it's cut very low in the front and had to be pinned. The dress runs small so I wore the larger size, which was a little long, but fine. I added the photo of me walking in it to show how it moves on the bottom; it has a nice flow to it. Overall, I was happy with my choice. This was my first time renting a dress, and the service was excellent. I'll definitely rent again.  

I loved the fit of this dress! I usually can go with a 6 in most dresses but went with an 8 for this one. It fit in all the right places and was easy to move in. However, it was very tight around my hips. The top was also pretty big in that the straps were weirdly designed.. I tried to use a safety pin to close it a tiny bit for pictures but the pin kept coming undone. But i'm thinking that's fault on my end. I wish it was just a hair more closed so I didn't feel so awkward. Overall, I was very excited about the dress and really liked how it was. The color was also gorgeous 

Great dress, it was really long (im 5"0 so that's to be expected) the fit was great, I'm also very busty so the dress looked totally different on me then the model in the pic. Over all it still looked good.

I wore this dress to a spring black tie wedding.  It stood out in a sea of blah black dresses.  It is very elegant and flattering.  I was actually 5 months pregnant and it was still flattering!  The only issue with the dress is that your boobs feel like and appear as though they will pop out at any time.  You need to be careful! 

A little big in the chest and tight in the hips and butt, I was scared I might rip it so be careful! Otherwise, perfect length, it didn't drag on the ground. I got so many compliments and danced the night away and felt stunning. Perfect for my body. 

I LOVED this dress. It was definitely a little low cut and I had to pin the cleavage a bit to be more appropriate (and to hide my bra). The cut was super flattering. The fabric was much lighter weight than it looked in the photo and really skimmed my body in a very flattering way. The length was perfect with 3 inch heels, and even when I took those off for flip flops, it wasn't too too long. My boyfriend said I looked better in this than any other dress I've ever worn.

I wore this to a formal wedding, received compliments all night.  Such a great rental!  Wore a NuBra that has the deep plunge but still had to use some fashion tape.  

I'm a professional opera singer and I'd been looking to use RTR for the right concert when the chance came up. Usually I use my own pieces, but this was an afternoon summer concert at Carnegie Hall's small recital venue, so I thought I'd switch it up. Used a lot of double sided tape. You also need great posture in this dress since it's so low cut that if you slouch it looks sloppy. The dress was a huge hit and I was one of the only musicians on the concert not wearing black. :)

Very flattering. Hides any stomach issues. Be sure to have fashion tape and steamer accessible. 

I wore this dress to my senior prom.  I was terrified that this dress was not going to fit when I ordered it, but I am so glad that I did.  The color and fit were both unique and stunning.  When I was getting ready and trying it on, I asked for my boyfriend's help with the zipper, and he practically almost cried when he saw me, telling me how beautiful it looked on me... like a princess.  The dress is fantastic and comfortable.  However, I am a 32D+, and I couldn't find a bra to fit me.  I had to go without, and the girls were a little saggy.  I also wore the dress in a 4L, and it was still too short.  I decided not to wear heels because the dress would have been to short on me (even with 3in heels).   Everything else was fantastic.  I definitely recommend if you want to stand out!

This is the kind of dress that both woman and men can appreciate. Woman love the color and its elegance; while men love that it is low cut. Overall, sexy but not sluty.

Comfortable and color is stunning. Need a low cut bra or no bra with stickies. DEFINITELY lower cut than I was used to.

I loved wearing this dress - the color and fabric were beautiful and I received compliments all night. The length was just right for 3 inch heels and I was able to dance freely despite the dress being pretty fitted through the hips. The neckline plunges deep on petite girls - be sure to bring tape! 

This dress wasn't too close to white to be considered distasteful? I love it, that the only thing I'm worried about!

As stated by others, it is pretty low cut. It's also decently long so you likely won't be able to do flats. I  didn't love any of my necklaces with it (drew a little too much attention to my chest), but I would have probably liked one of the RTR suggested options, so definitely consider them. I did neutral makeup with a bright apple/cherry red lip, which was a nice combo. Definitely an attention getting dress that is comfortable and makes you feel beautiful! 

This dress needs pre planning in the underwear department (95% of bras won't work and I went without). It ran a little on the long side and wrinkles easily. That being said it looked amazing. 

I wore this dress to a black tie party this weekend.  The dress was very comfortable and elegant, although I don't think I'd want to wear it again, which makes renting the perfect solution.   I had the 10 (my regular size) as a back-up size.  The  10  looked better in the front, but was too tight in the back.  The 12 was a bit too loose and open in the front; I used double sided tape but it didn't hold in place all night.  One minor complaint -- the person who had the dress before me used double sided tape as well -- how do I know?  because it was still sticky!  sort of gross, not sure why the glue didn't come off when they dry cleaned it.      

Not as much fashion tape needed as I had thought!
