The words classy and eloquent were used multiple times as a compliment.
The fit was spot on! Eloquent and comfortable! The length is long so heels are a must. I received so many compliments. I would highly recommend. You can never go wrong with timeless Ralph Lauren.

Quiet and strong
This worked quite well for the opening night of the symphony. I was certainly not standing out. It was wasn't hard to wear with a pair of Honeylove shorts and a padded bra. It was 2-3 inches too long for me, even with 3 inch heels, but I walked carefully and handled it. I didn't need to pin it closed or anything. I didn't feel thrilled to wear it, as it was pretty sober and staid, but Ralph Lauren can deliver looks you can rely on. If I owned this, I'd get it tailored for length and the shoulder fit. It would work well for funerals, also.

A Perfect Tux Dress
I wanted to wear a tux but in a dress form. This was perfect. Also it was very comfortable. I kinda want to own this one. I'm 5'7", about 155 lbs, small chested but got a booty. I ended up not doing top stick for the top and just wore a pretty lacy bra that I didn't mind showing if it ever did.

This dress was absolutely stunning! Despite the plunging neckline, it was incredibly comfortable, and I had no fear of falling out. I was even able to wear a pair of spanx underneath.

I had to pair with flats because I knew if I did with heels, I might look overdressed lol. Would have been perfect for a gala, proper event. The tailoring and fitting is to die for.

I wore this to a formal Gala! I typically wear a 10, and ordered a 12 to be sure. It was a bit loss, but I wouldnt size down. Length was great with high heels, and I’m 5’4”! I got soooooo many compliments on this dress, and boob tape is a must. I got that on Amazon - easy!

I loved this dress and I got so many compliments. It fits very nice it is soft and comfortable.
If your size is between 8 and 10 get the 10 one. It runs long do you should need a high hill with it. I also added a faux fur wrist cuffs and it looked amazing!!!

This dress was truly effortless. Zip up the back and ready to go. The front V was a little revealing for me so I wore a camisole and a lovely necklace. I had planned to wear heels anyway, but the dress would be too long for flats at my height. Many compliments. The fit was roomy for a size 4.

Winter dress only!
I ended up LOVING this dress, but I am usually a 4 or a 6, and the 2 was roomie on me. Thank goodness for RTR for sending me a backup 2 last minute!! One huge downside was this dress was HOT. It would be great for winter, but even in march I was dying. I ended up having to change after dinner because I was overheating.

The sleekest silhouette!
I snagged this in my usual 18, used an additional spot to grab a 16, and both fit! The 18 (seen here) fits wonderfully with the front ruching detail free to do its intended drapey drape, while the 16 is more fitted in the waist - especially the lower drop waist area. Both are beautiful. I'm glad I can keep them for a bit with my membership and play with shapewear options. The neckline is super vavavoom, although you could easily style it to your liking!

Sleek and classy, super low neckline, comfortable
This was all the rave at my singing engagement in NY. I decided to go with a bigger size so I could feel more comfortable but the size 8 would’ve been sexier if I wanted to go that route. The neckline is really low so I pinned it - I have a larger chest and it wouldn’t have worked otherwise. Material is soft and stretchy, doesn’t wrinkle, and hooks at the top of the neck. Total win.

Perfect for a more conservative black tie event. Lots of compliments! Even got stopped in the street for this one. I needed some fashion tape for the cleavage area and definitely needed to wear heels, otherwise the dress would drag on the floor. Size 10 fit well but I sized up to the 12 to show less boob

This runs a tad big and you 100% need boob tape to make the dress work.
I’m normally a size 6 - this 6 runs a bit large but once the boobs were taped, and I added some double sided fashion tape, the dress didn’t move and I was super comfortable. It also doesn’t cling in the stomach area so I felt like I could eat and drink to my hearts content which was nice!

I wore this dress to Mardi Gras. It was great. The sleeves do run long, so I scrunched them up to the elbows. The dip in the front is dramatic. I used double sided tape and it worked great.

When I first received the dress and pulled it from the package it ready to wear. No wrinkles/creases
The fit all around was perfect. I ordered a 2R and a 4R. I was performing with the AZ MusicFest Chorus and Orchestra and we were required to have black, long sleeves and dresses/gowns had to be to the floor. The combination of requirements was challenging in my favorite stores. I shopped ‘till I dropped. Then I remembered RTR. I like to wear heels so the dress was the perfect length. Brave RTR.

sleeve length & dress length too long for my 5'6 frame & 3 inch heel.
I used red accents- nails, hair pin, evening bag & patent leather red heels (nude hose). I had many compliments on the dress & "pops" of red. Will def use RtR in the future. Whole process was super easy.

I probably need a bigger size
I like to dance. I tried this beautiful dress on and went immediately to buy new spanks as it wasn’t flattering due to my current body type perhaps. The fabric was thick and great quality, which in this case meant that when I tried to dance I was very warm and the beautiful tuxedo like cut of the top of the dress was restrictive a little for dancing as well as the cut of bottom. I will keep in mind for next time.

Sleek & formal for James Bond theme
Fit was true to the comments. I wore my normal size, which worked well. (However, the smaller size was not available, so I cannot confirm whether it could've been even better.) The neck indeed plunges, so I used a hair clip to hold it together. Material is thick & great quality, so I wouldn't try getting safety pins through it. The skirt kicks a bit when walking, but fine for going up & down a stage. Overall, super sleek & great fit for our James Bond themed event.

Gorgeous! Runs big for a petite height.
I typically wear a size 8/10. Needed to reorder for a size 6. Sleeves were still too long (had to safety pin them) and the dress would have been better hemmed shorter. I wore my highest pair of heels to make it work. Definitely needed dress tape to keep from showing too much cleavage. All that said, the size 6 was gorgeous and perfect for the gala event. The dress was very flattering. I received lots of compliments.
