I loved this dress and its dramatic cut. I did use Hollywood tape to keep my boobs from showing when I sat down. It was the perfect length and great fit. 

This dress is so elegant and such a statement. A little bit of fashion tape and you’re good to go. Be careful about things getting caught on the material!

I loved how I looked and felt so confident in this dress! It’s elegant and the most perfect color for a fall wedding. A couple of downsides, it required a good amount of double sided tape so you don’t expose your chest. The bottom is slightly restricting, making walking and dancing slightly limited. But you can just pick the skirt up if you really need to move. Also you cannot wear a traditional bra as the all-lace back would expose it. I would size up as the material does not provide a lot of stretch. 
Other than those small critiques, this dress is amazing. I got so many compliments and felt almost as beautiful as a bride! 

Wore this dress to a wedding in Italy and it was truly stunning! So many compliments and felt like royalty! If you have smaller frame/boobs it’ll require some fashion tape but still worth it! 

Very beautiful dress and the perfect color for this season. I sized up to a 6 to fit my hips better but it was looser on the top. 

Dress fit really well. I ordered a regular and it ended up dip being the perfect length for heels and even sandals. The lining did show a bit at the bottom when I walked but wasn't a big deal. Received compliments all night. 

I was surprised of how it fit like a glove on me, I'm 5'11 and weight 140 pounds it didn't cover all the way to my feet but it didn't mattered. I got I lot of compliments 

The dress is so sexy and fun! needed a little bit of tape on the chest. Some reviews said hard to walk in I didn’t find that to be true and I was able to dance easily. I’m usually a size M 8-10 I ordered the 10 and 12 since reviews said no stretch and they were right but it’s not super rigid in odd places like I’ve had in other formal dresses. I think one size up from your normal should be enough. Went with the 10 it fit a little more snug in the waist and shoulders and overall a better fit. If you’re wanting full length may think about getting a tall it is not a true floor length but I liked the shoes peaking out. Loved this dress and the beading is so much better in person. 

Definitely one of my favorite dresses I’ve worn! Super flattering, revealing but not too much and still was able to dance in it. Double sided tape is your best friend with this dress

I got so many compliments. Loved this dress! 

Lining pooped out at the bottom of this one but it was otherwise gorgeous :)

I wore this to a “fun formal” wedding. Like others have said, this is an eye catching dress and fun to wear for a special event. The fabric is not stretchy, and it is completely covered in sequins/small beads. There is no slit in the skirt, so fine if you’re milling about, but harder to walk properly without picking up the skirt. 

I used pasties and boob tape instead of a bra or going braless. I seriously considered going braless, but after trying the dress on I realized the neckline moved around too much and for the 4R there is quite a bit of space in between in which a boob could pop out. I usually find that the bust area is the tightest fit for me with dresses in general (30FF), but there was quite a bit of fabric/looseness in the bust area of this dress. 

Overall would recommend the dress and DEFINITELY recommend trying it on beforehand and experimenting to make sure it’s the right bust situation for you. 

This is the most perfect fitting dress I have ever worn! I’m 5’1 110lbs, and the length was just right. I got so many compliments! 

Wore this to a formal optional wedding and I paired it with Coach tennis earrings also on rental from here. It was my first time using fashion tape, so I struggled a bit, but it wasn’t too bad. Be careful when putting it on / taking off - I got a small scratch the first time. 

Still, despite the effort it took to make this work, I wouldn’t have wanted any other dress! Highly recommend.

Perfect silhouette and beautiful lace back. The zipper is located on the side of the dress which makes it a teeny bit tricky to get into for large chested girls. The plunging neckline is beautiful however, a little fashion tape might be needed just for extra security. The beadwork is beautiful but a little itchy.

A stunning and unique dress. Ended up sizing up. Fashion tape recommended. 

The dress is so sexy and fits perfectly. I wore it to a friend’s wedding and was getting compliments all night long! 

I love the dress. It definitely stood out in a positive way at the wedding. I highly recommend double sided tape for the chest if you want to keep it in place. I went ahead and reapplied double sided tape throughout the night due to dancing and constantly moving. I would totally recommend the dress if the double sided tape isn’t something that would bother you. 

Wore this for a winter black tie wedding in Chicago and it was perfect! 


Super comfortable but double sided tape is key!

I ordered a 2R and 4R and ended up going with the larger size so that it would be longer with taller heels. The 2R felt too restrictive in the bodice for how itchy/textured the dress is, and was too short for the heels I was wearing. Since I have a fuller bust, I didn't need to tape the chest down but definitely was cognizant when bending over :']. I would recommend sizing up if you are in between sizes, and getting the long if you are wearing taller heels for a formal/black-tie event. I am 5'6" for reference, and usually a size 2.

Looks better in person than pictures and very very low cut. There is no stretch so I sized up to accommodate my hips but it’s a little hard to walk in.

Zero give but it’s WORTH wearing. 5’8” and wore the 6L which was perfect. The regular length was well above my ankle 

This dress is unreal. Sexy in all the right places. 
I’m typically a 4 or a S in dresses and I originally order the 4. I got it on but it was tight, the lace has no stretch and the waist seam was digging into me. I reached out and RTR helped facilitate a replacement but only a 8L was available. It was perfect for my fall Vermont wedding (paired with a fur coat!).
The length was perfect but I think a 6 would have fit my chest a bit better but sticky tape worked great! 
For ref I’m 5’6” and 138lb athletic build. 


Amazing dress. Had to tape the sides down to make sure it didn’t slip but was overall so happy!

Definitely have double sided tape on hand!

The lace back is amazing.  It was super easy to tape down and I felt confident and secure all night.  Got a ton of compliments!  Heads up the the bottom is a little restrictive on your stride so plan on swaying instead of strutting lol

Wore to a black tie wedding and it was perfect! Got a 0 and it fit amazing! If you’re small chested (like me) you’ll definitely have to tape it into place. Can be kind of see-through if the sun hits it in a certain way, but worked out perfectly for a night wedding. 

Wore to black tie optional. Well made, lined dress that fit just right!! Boob taped and safety pinned the top, felt amazing. 

Absolutely, Gorg!! The color. The quality. Loved it!! It is very , very low cut though.....


The beading, the lace, the cut - all perfection! Also, very comfortable despite the beading. Favorite dress I’ve ever worn!

The online photos don’t show the sequins/beading on the dress- it’s really pretty! However, it’s really itchy. I didn’t like how the top looked on me and preferred the other dress I ordered, so I didn’t wear it. I’m 5’10” 135lbs and wear a size 6- this dress fit perfect! Oh- It didn’t have a slit, so dancing would be difficult. 

The fit was the tough part about the dress - it didn't naturally have enough coverage to feel comfortable during the night. Had to use lots of tape and was distracted by making sure it was t going to slip! 

It’s a little bit of an odd for if you’re curvy. Very itchy, but a fun dress!
I usually wear an 8, but if you have a bigger rib cage, you’ll need to size up. I ended up getting a size 12.

This dress is beautiful, but the material is much scratchier than I thought it would be. That being said I couldn’t even zip up this dress which is unusual for me in this size. Maybe it’s because only the short was available when I ordered it and it wasn’t hitting my body incorrectly. It is very pretty though for the right person.

Loved this! So many compliments! Obviously had to do some boob taping but overall fit well! I'm a 6 generally but 8 was what was available - worked fine, but also think 6 would have been ok!

Can be a bit itchy but beautiful. Shows a lot so be ready 

Wore this to my friend’s black tie optional wedding. I have a pear shaped body and am flatter up top and had no problems fitting into  my regular size. The beading does get a little itchy, so if you’re sensitive to stuff like that this might not be the dress for you. I will also say that the dress gets extremely narrow at the bottom— you will not be able to get up steep hills or go too fast in this gown. All in all I would say this was a great pick though— I got so many compliments and it was a showstopper! 

TTS - had to use boob tape to keep from gaping but I have a super short torso 

True to size, little itchy because of beading but not bad
