Well I liked it and thought the sleeves were super cool. But did I channel the wicked witch of the west in it? Maybe a little? 

This dress turns heads. Very comfortable to wear, beautiful drape, and fits the body in a very flattering way. You won’t regret renting this!

Great outfit for night out with co-workers. Conservative but fun sleeves make it appropriate for any event.  Lots of compliments. 

Selected this piece for an orchestra concert where I was volunteering, which meant a long night!  This dress converted very well between flats and heels to give a consist look of "amazing without a sweat."  I got compliments all night and the dress was so comfortable I kept forgetting that I had this on. Also, the silhouette and sleeves provide enough of a statement that you don't have to worry much about jewelry or accessories as it truly speaks for itself :)

Amazing and heavy fabric, no spank required! The neckline isn't as dramatic as the photos of the model. Loved the sleeves and details. So many compliments!

This designer knocks it out of the park again!

CONS: The dress was slightly large in the upper back. It was just a tad too long. Where are the dresses for the 5'4" small women? Also I had to fix the hem in the front with good old needle and thread. I was afraid to use tape.
PROS: I felt like a diva in this dress. The black suede 3" shoes that I wore had an asymetrical shaped heel which matched that dress perfectly.  I wore long black leather tech gloves that were perfect for waiting outside. I even kept them on for a while inside. I wore several silver bangles when the gloves came off. The only other jewelry that I added was a pair of diamond stud earrings. (Please ignore that neon party necklace.) I would buy this dress if it was affordable and size petite. I LOVE THIS DRESS!!!


Good fit. Fun for a night out with just the right amount of fun. Sleeves made this dress for sure!

Snug under chest. I would have sized up by one. This was a work party. The President (female) came up to me and said I looked stunning and that she loved my dress. Felt great in it. 

Wore to my daughter's rehearsal dinner. Very flattering. I'm up like 3 sizes lately and the sleeves magically "hide" areas of concern! 

This dress is a very thick, nice material. Perfect for my cold office. The sleeves are beautiful! Very slimming although a little difficult to zip but over a larger bust.  Comfortable to wear throughout the day. 

Wore for work and it was super comfy. The sleeves were super fun and adding a necklace to it brought some needed detail to the dress. It doesn't cling to the body and provided a little give so it was easy to move around in.

The collar and sleeves are stunning!  Size up it runs small!  I received numerous compliments and felt glamorous as I danced the night away.

Love everything about this dress and wished it were in a variety of colors.  It is my favorite of all of the 50+ RTR dresses I have rented.  

I actually wore this to a funeral.  I hadn't seen a lot of family members in a while, but once they saw me I had to say I received tons of compliments.  I def have curves, and the dress handled each one well!

This dress was a little more flamboyant than I expected from the RTR photos. Yet, I still really liked it. When I put it on, my 8-year-old told me I looked like a "fashionable witch." HA! I wore to work and got compliments from co-workers and a perfect stranger at lunch.

The sleeves are major statements. They are not too long, and the material is very heavy so the sleeves don't flop. They also have large metal grommets that add to the drama. This is not a dress for the faint-hearted. 

The material is very thick, making the dress somewhat heavy--it is definitely not a warm-weather dress. When I say heavy, it wasn't districting--more that the material had a presence. It had some stretch to it and was form-fitting, but didn't feel too sexy because of the boat collar, length (past my knee) and longer sleeves. It was comfortable to wear and not constrictive at all.

The only "con" is that the sleeves would NOT fit in any coat I had. You would HAVE to wear a cape. Also, not sure how breathable the fabric is. I sweat very little and usually have no odor issues, but my underarms were a little scented at the end of the day. Luckily, the heavy fabric also kept the scent in. ;) 

Very comfortable to wear! The sleeves are dramatic but didn't get in the way. The dress was heavier than I anticipated but perfect for a winter banquet. Caution is warmer climates! 

This was a backup dress for an event that wasn't dressy enough but I loved the dress and would rent again for a cocktail party vs a formal affair. The material is thick and hides your flaws, the neckline is pretty great and would work best of you wore your hair up, and the sleeves are quite dramatic. Overall, a fun dress and I'm sorry I didn't get to wear it this time!

This dress fit like a dream. The sleeves were a bit OTT for work...but they were still fun to wear and didn't get in the way as much as I expected. Slightly witch-y, slightly bat-like, but totally fun to wear.
