The dress looked cute in the reviews, but for me immediately screamed a Handmaid’s Tale.  Then the darts in the bust looked like pointy nipples.  It just didn’t look good on me, unfortunately.  

This is a very elegant dress (with pockets) but be warned it runs small (like all Black Halo dresses). I sized up 1 size and the shoulders are still tight (and I have narrow shoulders). If you have broad shoulders, you might want to size up 2 sizes. 

Pros:  Beautiful color, soft & thick fabric
Cons:  Shoulder pads, cannot raise arms above head
Maybe I'm spending too much time at the gym and now I have a football player's back and shoulders, because I had no range of motion in my arms wearing this dress.  It looks nice on and the fabric is warm and soft, but I could not raise my arms above my head while wearing this dress --fabric has no give at all-- which meant I had to have someone zip it up for me, and I had to make sure I styled my hair before putting the dress.   So from an aesthetic standpoint, the dress was beautiful and felt good on, but was hard to move around in.  I would not rent again for work.

This is one of the most beautiful dresses on RTR.
Just make sure to pick the right size 

True fit and flair. I love he structured top as winter outfits tend to get bulky.  Having said that, size up!

Rented this for a work dinner.  It was comfortable and I received many compliments.  It is definitely a very bright red color - most people called it a "red" dress.  I paired it with Cheetah print heels to spice it up.  I could see it running a bit small in the chest / arms area for those ladies with a larger bust.

I loved the fabric and how it was so elegant. This dress really moves with you. It's the perfect mix between dressy and casual.

Still wanted to dress up, and this was really nice! Beautiful bright red/pink, nice fit, pockets!! The padded shoulders were a little much, since I already have broad shoulders. If I could take out the shoulder pads, it would be perfect. 

This pink dress... SWOON... I absolutely loved it. The material was thick and flattering, the fit and cut were perfect for my more hourglass shape - it hugged my curves in all the right ways. I am normally a 6 and sized up to an 8 - which was definitely the right call, as the 8 was snug in the bust. This works really well on a taller figure but may drown someone more petite. The button detail and THOSE SHOULDERS - elevated this look from 1950 to 2020 and made me feel so confident all night long.

I wore this to a Friday and Saturday event and got compliments at both. I got  the 10 and 12 and wore the 12. Zipper is sensitive over the seems but the dress was super comfortable and the color is gorgeous.

I’m 5’10”, 150 pounds, and have a small bust.  Could be tight for those with larger busts or broad shoulders.  I was surprised by the shoulder pads, but they looked fine.

I wore this to church for Christmas and received so many compliments. The color is beautiful and it's a very flattering fit. It even has pockets! The shoulder pads were a little different for me, but not a bad thing. 

Great color, lovely fit, moves great, very comfortable. This dress does need to be accessorized but once you break up the color a bit it is beautiful. I wore this to work on a day I needed a little extra confidence and to church. 

I can't describe how beautiful this dress is. The color and styling is impeccable. Another dress that I did not want to send back. 

Pretty detail but too much red for work and not great for a short torso. Not flattering cut for the chest and ended up never wearing.
