I absolutely LOVED wearing this dress! I went to the RTR showroom on the Thursday before this Saturday night black tie wedding, and I was determined to find the perfect dress. I tried on 4 black dresses first, and was having a really hard time deciding among them- should I go full sequins? curve hugging lace? I wanted the "wow factor" but nothing was feeling truly special. Then I spotted this red dress and once I tried it on, I was sold! I agree with other reviewers that this dress runs a bit large- especially if you are smaller on top. I had tried on the 6 in the showroom and ordered that size on the spot, but then after reading some reviews, I emailed to add the size 4 as my backup. I'm glad that I did as the 4 looked even better than the 6, and had I worn the 6, I probably would have been spending the night pulling it up to cover my strapless bra. Standing out in a sea of black dresses, this dress was form fitting, but the ruching allayed any fears I may have had about my tummy or hips. The high waist on this dress made me look tall and lean and the sweetheart neckline was flattering on my small chest. This dress was easy to sit in (without wrinkling) and was great to dance in. I can't tell you how many compliments I received! Rent this dress!!
