This was the perfect dress for me as it was a work event for my husband & I didn't want anything too flashy but was still elegant & sophisticated. The fit is great for petite shapes, especially smaller chested girls but I still had to put chicken cutlets in for the top to fit properly. The fabric of this dress feels almost like a wet suit which really sucks you in all the right places while still being VERY comfortable. I initially had spanx on but ripped them off in the limo for fear of passing out & my husband couldn't tell the difference without them, which I think is a testament to how flattering that material really is. I also liked that I spent hours sitting down & did not have to worry about any wrinkles whatsoever!!!! It looked just as good at the end of the night as when I had put it on 9 hours earlier! As for the RTR service, I used to think that stylists were only for celebrities...Not any more!! I called in before my event to change my initial order and Kate was extremely helpful in regards to sizing/fit since there were no previous reviews for this gown. I ended up letting her style the entire look because it seemed reasonably priced & I wanted to have the options. I was initially hesitant about some of the costume jewelry being too gawdy but in the end I wore everything Kate suggested & I really loved the overall look! It was very cohesive without being too matchy & I think it really photographed beautifully. The stylists really do know the inventory well & actually work with your personal aesthetic to help you complete a great look. Overall I was very happy with the service I received for this event. I was extremely comfortable & confident & did not feel out of place at all on a red carpet where the majority of people have personal stylists on call & custom couture gowns on .Thank you RTR for letting me feel like an A-Lister, it was definitely money well spent for a very special occasion!
