It was slightly long, but I was able to tuck the skirt up under the waist band to make it the perfect length.

Many compliments on this designer gown. Sachin & Babi has become one of my favorites! So classy! 
I’m 5’8” and a slim 158 lbs. I almost always wear a size 8 & the size 8 fit great for this gown too. If you’re larger up top, it may be a little snug. I wore a minimizer strapless bra and it all worked, just a little tight in the right neck/shoulder area. Would definitely order & wear again!!

Beautiful design. The fit is true to size. The fabric is silky and comfortable. The length was prefect. I wore small healed sandles. Countless compliments. 

The dress looks like it’s just black and gold. In person, the floral pattern has red and green in it. I think it looks better in photos than it doesn’t real life. It was an elegant and comfortable dress.

I ordered a 12 & 14. The 12 came with tags on — brand new! The 14 came with a safety pin from the last renter and was very wrinkly. I was able to get them out enough that the rest looked like it was part of the fabric. The arm area of the dress is loose (extra fabric that sagged). Make sure to wear a black strapless bra or no bra bc that’s how low the fabric sagged. The chest area was not forgiving. The fabric from under the arm wasn’t in the same space as the chest fabric so it did not help the other out. Oh - Surprise - there is a belt. No idea it had one but it was fine. The length was perfect — brushing the top of my feet. This dress is pretty but it just didn’t wow me (or others!). 
For reference I am a 38DD and I normally wear a Med or Lg shirt. I went with the 14 on this dress which is normally true to size. 

Elegant  dress. I received lots of compliments. I am 5’7 and was wearing a heel.  The length was great but it might be a problem for someone shorter.

A nice pick for a guest at a black tie optional wedding. I felt comfy and confident all night.

Pros:
-It packs well for travel and the material doesn’t show wrinkles. 
-The high neckline is beautiful, feminine, and a great pick for a more formal affair. 
-The dress fit me flatteringly through the waist and bust with the help of a little boob tape

Cons:
-The necktie is a bit fussy—leave yourself enough time to get it right once. 
-I ordered a long size but the skirt on the “long” dress RTR sent me wasn’t appreciably longer. I went with 8R and wore flats. Not sure if this gown is tall girl friendly if you’re hoping to wear heels at a more formal/indoor event. I think the regular length would be too short. 

I wore to a friend’s son’s wedding. Semi-formal attire. Received tons of compliments. Fit perfect. Not problems in the bust, which is usually where my dresses are too tight. Perfect colors for a September wedding. 

It’s a beautiful dress for a wedding! I had to pin the sides because it was a little bit wide, so hard to wear if you don’t have a large chest

I got so many compliments about this dress for a fall wedding. Super comfortable and perfect length with some small heels, which can be tricky with long dresses. 

chic, feminine, and perfect for a formal dinner or evening event! 

Great dress! Would have worn the 8 but the slit on the 8 was up to my hip bone! The size 10 slit was mid thigh and much more normal. Not sure if a previous wearer opened the slit on the 8. 10 was a bit big in the bust but still looked great. 

I Wore this dress to a black tie wedding. I got a bunch of compliments. I tried a smaller size first and it fit ok except for the belt. The belt runs very small and has no give to it so keep that in mind when ordering. I was worried that it would be too long but it was perfect with 2 inch heels. 

I wore 8R to a jazz music event and the fabric is beautiful. It’s shiny in the light but not as shiny as satin. The belt is snug and has no stretch, so it felt tight when sitting down, but it wasn’t uncomfortable. I would suggest boob tape or nipple covers than a bra. I am 5’6 and I wore flats, and length was perfect. 

I tried on 2R and the arm holes were a smidge too long and the dress was slightly too long (needed 3 inch heels). But the 2P was perfect. The fit of both was a hair tight but it was perfect for a formal wedding. Dress aside, I did have an issue with the 2P having frayed edges/ loose seems on the bottom, perhaps from being stepped on. 

I wore this for an optional black tie wedding. The dress fit well on me. It was a little tight in the waist, but not too tight that I couldn’t zip it. The length was perfect for me. I wore 2 inch heels and they peeked out. If you are tall, this dress may be too short, though.

I felt amazing in this dress all night. Easy to wear, comfy, perfect length for me to still wear flats. Would definitely wear to a slightly more formal wedding or event.

This was a little tight on my ribcage and had no give. I have a wide ribcage, so got a bit uncomfortable by the end of the night. If I rented again, I might size up. Tons of compliments and would rent again 

Beautiful dress, just be careful on sizing because the waist has zero stretch. Got compliments all night!

Worn this dress to a black tie ball and it was perfect! Could have sized down given it was there was a lot of room around the chest area but the fabric was lovely.

really nice dress! the scarf part was a little tricky to tie but it was still beautiful! 

I loved this dress. It was perfect for a garden party wedding. It was long enough to wear with heels and was very comfortable and flattering. 

I wore this dress for a trumpet recital and received so many compliments.  The petit size was perfect for me as I'm only 5'1."  My only complaint was that the waist band is a little tight and not stretchy.  Overall, loved this dress and would wear again!  

This dress was beautiful and fit very well except was short on me, even with flats. Made it work, bc 8 was too big. Otherwise, it was comfortable and flattering!

I wore this dress to a black tie optional wedding in Italy and it was perfect. Part of the event was outside so I threw on a shawl and it still looked great with the dress. I am ~1 year postpartum and still have a lot of extra weight in my stomach and this dress helped camouflage it well. It was comfortable for dinner and dancing. The fit was a little tricky for me, I'm usually a 12 but had to size up for the waist and then the top ended up being a little baggy / saggy in the armpit area. Not a huge deal and the scarf conveniently helped cover it. Overall I was super pleased with this dress! 

Fit like a glove and looked so great with a high pony 

I wore this dress for my Brothers rehearsal dinner. It was extremely comfortable. So much so that I considered wearing it for the wedding while I had it on. I would definitely rent again

I loved this dress, it was so flattering and comfortable. They didn't have a 4 so I was sent a 2 and it fit perfectly!

This dress has a gorgeous fabric and print.  The slit on the left side goes mid-tight.  Wore for a work gala event and received many compliments.  I’m 5’7, 155lbs.  Ordered 6R and 8R and didn’t have to try the 8R.

Band in the middle was a bit snug but the dress overall was amazing

I’m 5’4” and wore 1-2” heels and the petite was the perfect length. The R size would have been too long. I am small up top, and since the dress was not tight, it was nice bc I didn’t have to wear a bra. Plenty of room for bustier girls as well. I had plenty of space and probably could have fit into the size 0 as well, so if you’re looking for a little tighter fit, size down. 

Lots of compliments. Runs large. Flattering.

I loved this dress for a black tie optional wedding in Miami. It fit true to size with a little extra room in the bust. I struggled keeping the neck tied and once I double knotted it got it to stay. 

I wore this dress twice to formal events. It’s extremely flattering. I will say that it is long. 

My first rental dress and it was perfect!  Dress came on time with an additional size just in case.  Fit like a glove, perfect length with heels.  I wouldnt recommend if you are very flat chested as the bust had extra room.  Beautiful material, well-made, and really comfortable.  I paired it with a wool shawl, perfect for a winter wedding. 


I loved this dress! Received many compliments! Perfect length for my 5’8” height and small kitten heels. Accentuates the waist line. Able to wear a strapless bra. Would rent again and even considered buying!

Sizing was generally perfect, but I have a wide rib cage area and the band is not adjustable, so it was a little tight on me.
