Super comfy, great fit. Lots of sparkle. I was really pleased with how this rental worked out. I'd been a bit nervous that the midsection would be tight: there is enough stretch (and then enough hold to keep everything in!!) to make this the perfect form-keeping outfit. Also, the color is excellent.

I rented this gorgeous dress for a Broadway opening night - it was perfect! Comfy and just the right length (I wore flats!!!!), and fitted enough to not need a bra, even with the deep V-neck. There was less stretch in the fabric than I expected, so while I was a little worried my booty was going to be an issue in the fitted hips, it turned out to be fine. Spanx were helpful. ;) Would recommend for any event where you want to glitter and feel a little extra sexy.

Loved this dress! It felt elegant and classy (and sexy while still being modest). I got tons of compliments and felt like it was the perfect style for a Broadway tour opening. I matched the lobby of the theatre in a perfectly perfect art deco way. ;) The fit is great: nicely fitted in the waist and a good length with 2" heels (it just barely skimmed the floor). I have broader shoulders so it was a tad tight there and I couldn't lift my arms all the way over my head, but otherwise a great fit. Would rent again, especially for a winter or fall event.

I wore this INSANELY BEAUTIFUL dress for an Off-Broadway opening night party and was thrilled with the cut, quality, color and style. The lace and mesh in the back are perfect and the unique gold skirt was perfect for a late-autumn event. It was a great fit - especially across the back and in the middle - and it was the perfect length, but the skirt is a bit tight if you have a booty (which I do). It was fine to sit in, it just pulled a bit in the front and I found myself adjusting it a lot to prevent too-tight lines. That's the only reason for 4 stars not 5. :) Great dress!

Loved loved loved this dress! It fit like a dream (with the help of a little fashion tape, I didn't need a bra!) and I felt flowy and comfortable and cute all evening. Wore this to a farm-to-table dinner at an organize farm: the floral pattern turned out to be thematically perfect and the length was just right: I wore flat sandals and somehow managed to not get the dress dirty in the garden! :) True to size for a 6. So comfy. Many compliments. Rent this dress.

This was a LOT more dress than I was expecting and I ended up being a little overdressed for an outdoorsy wedding. It isn't as obvious in photos (and this isn't a great photo), but there's a significant amount of tulle in the skirt. It's also not as silky as some photos make it appear: the fabric feels almost like thin denim. The bodice runs a bit tight at the top (I had a little side boob to contend with all night) but the waist and length were great. I wore little 2" heels and the dress hit right above my ankles. I felt tucked in in the middle all night. The pockets are a super bonus. Be warned: if you hate ironing (or are unwilling to attend your event all wrinkled), this dress is probably not a great idea. It took a good 45 minutes to work through all the wrinkles in the (huge) skirt, just from shipping. It was a fun wear, just for the fairy princess feeling... but it also felt a little young for me.

I loved this dress! It was super elegant for a formal springtime evening wedding in NYC. I received a ton of compliments - a bonus at what was outright called a 'dress to impress' event. :) The material is a bit heavier than I was expecting but not so much so that it was wintery: it fell nicely and has good structure. The detail in the back is beautiful. I needed fashion tape to hold the front against my chest, and managed to wear this without a bra without looking too scandalous. Length-wise, it trailed a bit on the floor with 3" heels. The embroidery is coming apart a bit, so definitely be watchful of your jewelry vs. the fabric. Would recommend if you have a defined waist and a fuller chest (or are comfortable going bra-less/ with fashion tape).

I was so sad to return it after the wedding! I wanted to keep it, it's so awesome. :) This dress fits perfectly: it has a gorgeous, vibrant pattern (even more in person than in the RTR photos), it's well-made (with enough structure to support C-cups WITH NO BRA!!!) AND IT HAS POCKETS. It was the perfect length with 2" heels (and even barely grazed the floor when I switched to flats for the reception). I didn't have the same issue with a tight waist/ribcage fit which some other ladies mentioned, but I could see how that could be a concern: there's not a ton of give right in the middle, but if you tend to fit off-the-rack sizes well, this dress should be a good option. I didn't order a backup and was glad to find out I didn't need to: the 6R was great. Also - THE BACK. It's so unique! Lots of compliments. Highly recommend.

This dress is perfect. I don't think I've ever worn anything that fit quite so brilliantly. I'm 5'4" with a gymnast's build -- very short legs, too, which often makes floor-length gowns a bit tricky and requires a lot of pinning and/or super high shoes. Thankfully, this one was just the right length to wear WITH FLATS (which is unheard of in styles like this - I was SO thrilled!). The hem barely grazed the floor. The waist sits well and the embroidery in the midsection is a nice touch - it's forgiving if you need it to be! The photos make the dress look like it's quite heavily embroidered; truly, it's super light to wear and really comfortable for being so ornate. I was so happy with this rental. I would buy in a second to wear again. Highly recommend.
