Tight (but soo worth it!)
Obsessed with how this dress looked on. I wore it to a Christmas gala and got compliments all night! My only issue with the dress is that it’s TINY. I could barely zip up the back by myself because the arms were so tight! Highly recommend for any event, though (as long as you’re not moving around a lot or dancing).

I liked it, I bought it
The dress is a hair too big, but it just fits so well otherwise and it’s such a beautiful material. I got comments on it from the Willard to a party to Bar Angie, everyone stopped to comment on it. Very well-made and high quality.

Beautiful structured dress
The color is more vibrant coral than red and it is tight but the XS worked best for me. I was reluctant to get this dress because of the other reviews but I did love it. It’s not a dress you can easily sit down in but for a stand up party it was super fun. Look at the measurements closely and get a back up size. Follow @theprotocolconcierge for more outfit from me!

Loved this dress so much. The brand is known for being structured and corsets so it has a full structure skirt and corset inside. I'm between an Xs/small and small was perfect if not a little wiggle room in the waist. Unfortunately my plans got canceled so I couldn't wear it

This brand runs small, so be sure to size up. It is a structure dress like the other reviews so beware that it sticks out a little bit. I personally love it because it creates a beautiful shape.

So many compliments!
This dress looked great. The color popped, the flowers were a great touch, and I got compliments all night. This was a for a fiesta themed gala. I regret not getting a photo of the full dress. I ordered the Small and Medium and the Small worked best. I am 5’5”, 120 pounds. The boning makes this dress VERY structured - it fit and felt fine while standing but wasn’t very comfortable to sit down in and by the end of the night I had slight bruising on my back from the boning. I was warned from the other reviews though so I wasn’t surprised and it wasn’t a dealbreaker for me.

Such a stunner!
Sure, it wasn't the comfiest dress I've ever worn, but it was SO GORGEOUS that I didn't mind. I didn't have any issues with pain or awkwardness when sitting but be warned it is VERY structured, both in the bodice and the skirt. It was a little snug for me but I’m kind of between sizes and the next size wasn't available to rent at this time. I’m short so the length wasn't an issue for me but I can see how it could be for tall girlies. I got a million compliments and not just like "that's a pretty dress," it was like "that dress is AMAZING!!"

perfect party dress
went full tonal look with the red shoes! the zipper was up the back & then there were zippers on the sleeves to help when you're putting it on. it's definitely a rigid lace with no stretch, but designed to hug the bodice & then the skirt has the full bubble volume. #teamRTRreview

Not the most comfortable but received many compliments
I squeezed myself into the size medium for a holiday party and this dress did not disappoint. It was a really pretty red color and photographs well. The boning in the skirt is fun however it is very awkward when you sit down.

It’s awesome and weird
This dress has gorgeous details and fit perfectly BUT the structure of the lining is weird! It’s like it has a build-in Brazilian butt for you, which could be good if you are thin but I already gave plenty there so it was weird. Also it’s rather uncomfortable to sit down in this dress due the the structure of it’s rigid lining

Fun - lots of compliments!
The dress is VERY bright— the photos really don’t do it justice. So be prepared to stick out a bit! I got a ton of compliments. I fall between sizes now (8-10) and the L was too tight while the XL was a bit too big. If you’re between sizes, I recommend going up. The ribbing in this dress can be uncomfortable if it rubs a certain way— I didn’t notice this until taking a walk after the event to the next venue. Overall, it was cute and fun and people really seemed to like it!

Most beautiful dress ever
Wore this for my sorority semi formal. Was very uncomfortable to put on at first but after wearing it for a little it felt great. The material used to give to the dress structure was uncomfortable so I wore high waisted stockings and it stopped the material from rubbing directly on my back. Everyone was giving compliments all night. It’s a little weird when you sit down but overall such a cute dress.

Unflattering color and shape
I wanted to wear this for a formal tea event. Unfortunately, the red color was excessively bright, almost resembling a highlighter red. The lace dress featured a built-in corset and bra, but there was some odd poofiness at the bottom. I opted for a large size to ensure it fit, but a medium would have been too tight since the dress doesn’t have any stretch and the lace is rigid. Additionally, the shade used for the lining under the red dress didn't appear flattering on a darker complexion. Overall the style wasn't giving and I was disappointed that it didn’t work out at all.. If you do wear this… size up!

Runs small
I am 140 lbs and 5’4” and had to wear the medium, I’m usually a small. But I couldn’t even get into the small. And hope you don’t need to sit in it. The skirt is very molded so pictures sitting are impossible. It looks pretty but very itchy and not comfortable at all.

Uncomfortable and ill fitting
This has been the most uncomfortable and unflattering dress I've ever worn. There is so much wrong with it I don't even know where to start. The boning on the inside digs into your skin. The stiff loop around the skirt shows through and creates a crease that never smooths out. You can see it in every angle and looks so weird. Forget about being able to sit. It doesn't lay flat, that seam in the middle rises all the way up creating a tent, making your underwear almost show. I had to cover myself with my coat every time I sat down. The material also reminds you of an old table cloth, only brighter. Lots brighter. Stay away.

Beautiful dress (but prepare for a corset)
Got so many compliments on this dress! Perfect for a formal affair. Color is gorgeous. So glad I ordered a larger backup size S, as the XS I expected to fit was tiny, and I'm a 0. The top is a corset, so very uncomfy, and the bottom hoop skirt is itchy, so wearing nude fishnets underneath was a necessity. Hard to wear when much of my event was seated, but still worth it!
