Wore as a wedding guest, very gorgeous color. Muted purple, silky, felt amazing on. It does mark easily with waterdrops, careful not to get any water on it, since it shows when it dries. Wore without a bra, since back is open. Overall amazing fit! 

Hips can be tight. I wore 3 inch heels to get the dress off the ground. Love the looser top but you'll either need to go bra-less or wear some sort of stickies. Really pretty color. 

This dress has a vintage look. The draped sleeves and the fit on the waist are very feminine. I ordered a size 4, and even though it seemed that it was lightly large, it actually looked that it was meant to look loose around the sleeves and back, because of the cut. This was a backup dress and I didn't wear it, because I opted for the other RTR dress. However, I did love this dress, and I will be ordering it in the future for another formal event. 

This dress is amazing. If you have any type of bootie though I would not recommend. Im very flat down there and it was tight on me. And the long is VERY long. I wore  4in heels and i had to hold it up everywhere I walked. I got so many compliments and this color photographs so well! I would for sure wear this again and holding it up while I walked almost made it look like thats how you were supposed to hold it. So glam.

I am only 5' 3" but this dress elongated me and flattered. Must wear backless bra because the back is fairly open. Plan that accordingly. Also, it fit but is VERY fitted from the ribs down.

Wonderful dress - color, material, fit. However, it was heavily stained with what looks like drink spills. Too bad I couldn't wear it due to noticeable stains.

This dress was really nice. The fabric was a little fussy and it was a bit tight in the waist, but that was also flattering. 

I rented this for a client event (Broadway musical launch party). It fit perfectly, & I was able to move and do my job normally. Would definitely recommend.

Dress was comfortable and very light! The stomach area is a little tight, so I was self conscious abt it all night...but that was prolly just more in my head. Overall the dress was very comfy and I got a lot of compliments on it and the color.

I would say this dress fits true to size. It was too big up top and in the waist for me, which made the back a little too long. The smaller size was unavailable to ship. I will say it could be a tough dress for us pear-shaped ladies, as I think the 6 would have been a little snug in the hips. Beautiful dress, however, and I received a ton of compliments. A little disappointed that the back had water stains on the bottom when I received it. 

I am pear shaped, so I only just barely fit the 12! This is quite form fitting on the bottom. In more a-line shapes I wear a 10. This was pretty but required a special stick on bra and shapewear, and the shapewear was tricky with the slit and the open back. Overall it was a good dress for the price point.

I ordered a 4P (2nd and 3rd pic) and a 2R. The 2R was too tight around the booty and waste. However the 2R length was perfect with my 3.5 inch heels. The 4P definitely worked but ideally I would have picked a 4R. The slit in the dress makes you feel super sexy, especially when you walk. Pics don’t do the slit justice...
I am 5’4 and 125 pounds 

Rented this to try on for a wedding, but didn't end up wearing it. The fabric didn't feel very nice and is pretty thin. The dress is also more purple than purple/magenta as it appears in the pictures. The cut is very flattering however. 

STUNNING vibrant color, kimono-esque up top gives plenty of room to fit all bust sizes. Cut is deep enough to be sexy but not so deep you'll worry about wardrobe malfunctions. 100% polyester material is very thin, but not clingy. Panty lines WILL show. Length seemed like it would be good for a variety of people, I am 5'5" and wore 3" heels and dress barely grazed the floor. The back of this dress zips up the skirt to waist, and then has 2 eye hooks on the back: one in the middle and one at the neckline. THE BACK IS OPEN aside from these closures, I ended up wearing a lacy halter bralette as a regular bra would have shown in the back. There is NO stretch in this dress, keep in mind for fitting your hips. I am a true apple shape so the waistline was tightest for me - I ended up wearing the size 12, I didn't even try the 10 on even though I usually wear a size 10 (but I've been a bit sloppy with my diet sooo it could be true sizing right now lol). My tummy pooch is the one area I want to hide and this dress did do a surprisingly good job of that despite the tight fit in the lower abdomen and hips. 
Also note: you WILL need to steam or iron this dress if it arrives slightly wrinkled.  I used a low-heat iron on the back of the fabric and it worked great, it didn't seem to be an issue the rest of the night. There is also a slit up the left leg (which I personally like). Overall, it's a beautiful and VERY comfortable dress, if you keep all notes in mind. I appeared to be the first to wear this dress as there were no prior reviews and both dresses arrived with tags. Took a chance, glad it worked out, but would probably not be my very first choice if I hadn't needed to rent 3 days before my event. But I'd wear this pop of color over a safe black dress if that's your thing!
