I wanted to love this so much more than I did, esp after paying the rental premium for their “high-end designer” category (which I think they were beta testing?). It was just a lot of fabric that added 10 pounds to my hips. Even hubby (normally very supportive of my more experimental RTR trials) said it was “…. (Pause)…. A lot.” Also I had to wear a cami underneath as I wasn’t going to braless. I ended up wearing it as a day-style maxi dress… which wouldn’t have costed me anything if I hadn’t chosen this one.

If you’re bigger than a A cup and shorter than 5’6” it’s a challenge you’ll neck a bodysuit or liner plunge is extreme on super petite frames

I am 5’8”, 158, very athletic (read broad shoulders/muscular.) All my “normal” clothes are an 8 or 10, so I ordered a 10 for this- the largest option. I could not zip it past my waist. There would be no world where a corset or anything would have helped. HOWEVER, I decided to wear a black cami with a built in bra, and that provided coverage for the gap on the side, and with all the folds in the fabric, the only people who noticed were my dance partners. With that- it was an absolute show stopper. It felt like wearing a piece of art- even through bride had to comment repeatedly. Also very fun to spin on the dance floor. I did not have to wear heels and I had about two inches of clearance from the ground.

I wanted to love it, but did not. Felt overpowering, like I was playing dress up despite the fit being the right size.

So low cut it opened all the way to my waist. I couldn’t wear it so it was a waste of money renting. The sleeves were unusually long.

Didnt end up wearing this dress. The 38 didnt fit well and the 40 was too big. It ended up being too big head and too heavy. All the fashion tape in the world couldnt have helped the low cut design of this dress. Ended up being a waste. Completely unwearable.
