Beautiful color, wonderful fabric -- standout dress!

This is a beautiful column halter dress, wonderfully made with full lining, and was very comfortable. I'm typically a 6 or an 8, but have found that in RTR dresses, size 6's are too form fitting. So, I ordered an 8 and a 10, and wore the 8, which was a little too drapey and hung a bit, but still worked pretty well. If I had to do over I would have ordered and worn the 6. Wonderful for dancing.

Great dress, effortlessly beautiful!

This dress definitely runs big I'm normally a size 6 and rented a size 4 and it fit perfectly you'll definitely need some sort of a strapless tape on bra or go without one because the back is low cut.

Brunch dress, loved it!

I'm 5'5", 140, athletic build - this dress was beautiful and comfortable. Likely I could have fit into a 2 but this was still a great fit. Color is beautiful, love how the neck line shows off the shoulders. I could see myself renting this again.

Exquisite rearview on this hot little dress! It's fun yet appropriate for a rehearsal dinner.

I wore a ZERO in this dress. I have never been a zero - usually a 4. Therefore, size down in this dress for sure. You want it to fit like a glove. The flow is built in so don't worry about it. I would buy this one in a heartbeat!

Very happy with this comfortable dress.

I wore the 12, which I thought was surprising. There was even room to spare, but that made it so comfortable not having to feel like I was sucking in all night. The neck is a halter, which I worry about because that can be a big ask when you have DDs to hold up, but the support worked with a strapless bra. I had to shimmy the back of the bra down to be hidden in back, but it worked. The class at the neck was not strong, it gave out after less than an hour of wearing and I did a quick fix with a sewing kit from the hotel front desk and a safety pin for good measure. I'd recommend starting with a safety pin, to be safe. Having the halter top come unclasped during the cocktail hour was a little unsettling, though the dress didn't drop when it came unclasped -- thankfully.

Beautiful color and great length!

The hooks are missing on neck, it is hooking on the material...other than that great.

Loved this Dress! Perfect for a charity event

Loved this dress! It was actually a last minute replacement for my back up dress that couldn't be shipped. I went with a 10 to be safe because I could only get 1 size. It was a little loose and the 8 would have probably been a better fit. But it was still very flattering and comfortable. I wore breast petals and they worked great. I received so many compliments! Highly recommend.

Fun color and unique cut - really stands out!

I got a ton of compliments on this dress! I liked it enough. I made the mistake of putting lotion on my body and the dress stuck to me all night and never felt like it laid right. Wish I had spanx for the dress, I would have felt a lot more comfortable.

Loved the color and style

Large in the top (at least for me, I'm a C cup). It arrived to me with one of the hooks broken and I had to use a safety pin to hold it up and make it a little tighter. I did like the dress though and had fun wearing it. Wish I had a better pic, but this was the only one taken that night.

I felt very comfortable in this dress. Love the color and the look. Got lots of compliments.

Great fit. My only question: Is the lining supposed to hang a little longer than dress itself? It wasn’t really noticeable and due to the flowy nature of the hemline it kinda worked!

Elegant with a rich color

This is a beautiful dress, with an elegant and flattering cut. The back is low cut, so I wore it without a bra. It does have a lot of flow so i sized down and am glad I did. I generally wear a 6, sometimes 8, and a 4 fit well. I gave it 4 stars because the material is pretty thin and it shows everything. Otherwise I was really happy with this dress!

Fun & comfortable

Runs a little big. I usually wear size 6, & I've put on 10 lbs-still went down to size 4. Fun, flirty dress. Great color! Wore a Nubra (1st time) due to the low back & halter neck-loved it! Hook & eye under armpit not particularly comfortable.

Runs too large

I couldn't wear it, too bad because it's very cute. I usually wear a 6, a 4 might have been better. Oh well, next time.

cute summery modern dress

fit was modern, but fun details - I have large rib cage, so the backless part kept me from being restricted - despite large chest, I was able to wear pasties only due to nice thick fabric!

STYLIST REVIEW

I love this feminine dress by Carmen Marc Valvo! Running true to size with no stretch, I recommend wearing your true size for your primary size and going up for your back up. This style is roomy throughout the midsection and loose at the hips. It works best for A-C cup. You are not able to wear a standard bra with this apparel category so you should wear a strapless bra, nubra or no bra due to the cut of the dress. At 5'0", the length hit knee length on me. This was a cute, flirty dress perfect for Summer and Spring. Pair with strappy heels or sandals to complete your outfit!

Beautiful color, runs big.

Loved this dress. I'm usually a 6, or an 8 for tighter dresses, and I rented the 4. I think a 2 might have been better - this really does run large. The color is very bright, the fit is flattering and forgiving. I wore it with nude wedges for an outdoor wedding, and it was perfect.

This dress is "flowy" and has a loose-ish form fit. I got several compliments and felt very comfortable in it at a rehearsal dinner. The only complaint is that there is a bit of extra material around the stomach area, and it looks a bit baggy when you sit down.

Very pretty, runs large

Very pretty dress, runs a little large. Ordered a 10 and 8, wore the 8. I had to get a nubra to wear with this, though I think I might've been able to go with no bra. I did not think it was the most flattering shape for my figure, but it was very pretty, comfortable and easy to wear.

gorgeous color

I am a little bigger in the butt/thighs and this dress fit perfectly! Very flattering on pear shapes. The back dives deep so you will need to wear a low-backed bra or cups.

Backup dress...ran large!

This was the backup dress which was offered with my order. As the reviews say the dress runs very large. I am a size 6 and the 4 was even too large overall. The fabric is well made and the color is nice.

Beautiful color, slightly large.

I loved the color and style of this dress, but it was definitely made for taller people. I can normally wear a 0 regular time, knowing the length will be long, but all areas sat about three inches lower than they should've (back, underarms, hips, etc. would be perfect for a lady of taller stature.
