I needed a black dress to wear to a funeral and this one was available on short notice. I wore a cardigan with it to cover the back.

Comfortable and forgiving. I've had 3 kids in the last 5 years. 

This dress was perfect for a wedding in the cool Colorado mountains.  I paired it with a Laura Merkin clutch and magenta BCBG pumps.  I received compliments throughout the night.  The material is thick so I felt comfortable not wearing a bra.  The open back offset the conservative-ness of the front nicely.  The one down side is it was a little difficult to dance in.  The dress kept riding up.  It didn't hinder my moves too much though ;)

I was so happy they only had a 10 to send ( this was my back up dress!) because the 8 would never have fit!!  Even though I'm very consistently a 6-8 dress....I've definitely learned to order bigger from RTR! Especially with a larger bust and hips, I also have a pic of the back but I can't seem to get it to download.  If you're uncomfortable with your legs it's a bit short but very sexy with the open back.  The material is nice and thick I didn't even wear a bra or pasties and I was fine!

True to size, doesn't have any give so def get the size u are without hoping for any slack.

great fit, easy to wear, can't wear a bra with it though!

The dress is very classy but also sexy. I felt sophisticated but also fun and young. I went bra-less because my chest is so small but I never felt comfortable. 

The dress is tight across the hips. And fitted at the waist. My hips measure 40 increase around so I had to size up to the 6. 

Recommend paring with a bold colorful necklace. I kept my hair up and off my back so show it off. 



Fit perfectly snug but wasn't restricting. It hard to tell from the photos and descriptions but it is a very heavy material so would not be good for events in late spring or summer. Luckily, the weather was fairly chilly the day I wore it so it worked out perfectly and kept me warm!

This dress with the necklace came together nicely but the dress on it's own wasn't that exciting.  I received a lot of compliments on the back.

I definitely didn't fill it out in the bust area and it's nearly impossible to wear a bra with this dress because of the back.  I got lots of compliments on it, however. It's classy but the back provides a bit of a surprise.

I wore this for my company's holiday party. I wanted to wear something conservative-ish (it was also partly on a boat in the middle of winter, so I needed the sleeves) but edgy and sexy. This dress fit the bill!

I did not feel Amish at all in this dress!  (See review below.)  Rather, I felt glamorous, sophisticated and a little edgy.  I wore this to a holiday party with a simple faux pearl necklace, with my hair up.  The material is heavy with a slight ribbed texture, which was really flattering and helped smooth everything out.  Perfect length.  The open back is fun -- a couple of guys I hadn't seen in awhile gave me hugs and got a little surprise with the open back (haha).  Attaching this silly picture so you can see the front of the dress, with it's cool pleating.
