I received a lot of compliments on the dress and how it made me look!!

I added a belt, although one is not necessarily needed as the fit is already very flattering. The sleeves are absolutely beautiful!

This dress was perfect to wear for a fall wedding. I received several compliments on it.

Fits great, very comfortable. The only slight drawback is that the sleeves are somewhat itchy are first, but they didn't seem to bother me throughout the night. The fabric is on the thicker side also, so I wouldn't wear it in hot weather for an outdoor function. All in all, I loved it!

Nice fit, lots of compliments!

The dress fit me pretty perfectly. It was flattering on my curves and everyone commented on it! I was afraid the lace sleeves would be itchy but they didn’t bother me at all. I would definitely consider buying this in the future

Perfect Fit

This dress fit me perfectly! I wore it for a wedding rehearsal dinner, and everyone loved it. It hid all my lumps, and accentuated my assets. Best thing, no shape wear needed!

This dress has beautiful sleeves

The sleeves on this dress are really pretty and interesting! But I'm too short for it at 5' 2". I think this would look great on a taller woman!

Complex simplicity

The simple little black dress is a must-have, and this one hits the mark for that perfectly with the plain silhouette. The sleeves are more beautiful in person, with an intricate design that create a "wow" look as everything else about the dress provides a backdrop. While it is lace, there is a thickness in the way the material moves that proves its luxury. A definite winner I want to buy!

The lace was beautiful --heavy and detailed. The fit was loose but not baggy. Absolutely loved it!

The fit was loose in the tummy area, but fitted across by bust, so it was very flattering.

In love!

Kay Unger knows a curvy woman's body! So comfortable. As said in previous reviews, sleeves look like they will be itchy, not at all. Very comfortable. Wore to a late fall wedding. Lace around shoulders is beautiful. This dress runs big as far as I'm concerned. I could of worn a 12 instead of the 14 W. This dress was a last minute substitute for a size in another dress that was not available.

Flattering, well-made

The dress was just right for my event. It was comfortable, flattering, and a good length. The sleeves really dress it up. Be sure to think about the necklace situation. It needs something eye-catching or else the neckline would be too plain. Bonus--bra does not show.

Hides everything!

I wish I could've worn this dress, but there was a strict "no black" policy at my event. However, it was gorgeous! It fit like a sheath, but didn't cling to ANYTHING. I wouldn't have needed any shapewear AND could wear a regular bra. The only complaint is that the lace on the sleeves was a bit itchy, but not unbearable by any means.

Flattering dress

RTR sent this as a replacement dress because my ordered one was returned late. This dress fit really nicely but did not work for the type of party I was going to. I tried it on and thought I would review it anyway. It is a little somber, but I was pleasantly surprised at how flattering it was. For the right event this would be a good choice.

Revived many compliments on the dress. A definite winner

I always have to go up a size or two for my bust, this was no exception. Fit well in the bust while it was a bit loose in the hips. but that allowed for comfortable dancing. I usually hate lace because it irritates my skin, but the sleeves were great. Considering it was a last minute replacement for another choice, it was a great one

Sophisticated and stunning!

The dress is fully lines crepe, hangs perfecting and the lace with just a bit of sparkle is fabulous. I wore this as a guest at a wedding and received tons of compliments.. The fabric has a tiny bit of stretch but I found the measurements are spot on. the cut allows you to wear a regular black bra with standard to thin straps because it lays right at the point the lace joins the crepe. Prefect with a pair of black stilettos and I wore it with the Slate & Willow "Adams Earrings" .

Great dress. Please know that the dress is cut for a wide fit.

The W in the size means WIDE. This cut on this dress is wide. The shoulders and sleeves fit great, but the cut of the dress was enormous. I wish the sizing has clearly mentioned that this dress is a wide fit.

Classic LBD with beautiful sleeves.

Love the crepe fabric, the dress has enough structure to be flattering. It was a last minute need and I rented in the store. All they had was a size 1-2 sizes bigger than I needed but it looked fine and was so comfortable. The bottom was too wide for me as I don't have big hips, but it wasn't too noticeable.

Perfect dress for my first opera!

I got both the 18 and the 20 since I was told the dress ran small. It does run a bit small in the hip area but I was swimming in the larger size. (Also I was going to be mostly seated so I was ok with the bottom half not being so flattering) Sleeves are puffy but provided the dramatic look For the opera that I was seeking. Was thrilled that I didn't need to purchase a special bra for the occasion. Was such a whirlwind evening I forgot to take a pic -- sorry!

Dress too big

Pretty dress in nice condition but the sleeves were much too long for me and the body was baggy. Dress proportions meant for big and tall girl, not short and squat like me. The other size 20 dresses were more fitted on me. This one just didn't work. Plus the sleeves were scratchy so I didn't love it, even if it did fit.

Better for a work event or when you need a nice black conservative dress

I am 5'6", 38DD and normally a size 14 but I guess 14W is extra wide as the only place the dress fit was in my bust. It was huge everywhere else, I was swimming in the bottom half of the dress. The length is right to the knee so will be good for anyone who needs a nice conservative dress. Seems like a dress for an older person.
