Gorgeous cut, buttons popped open
I wanted to wear this dress so badly but the middle button kept popping open while I was getting ready. I didn't have any fashion tape so didn't wear it. Super light breathable fabric!

Cute but cropped
Loved this spring sweater but warning to larger chested ladies that it does get pretty cropped.

Structured & versatile
This is an interesting take on the classic tee. It was much more structured than I expected but it didn't bother me. Flattering and fitted but not tight. If that makes sense. Wore a few times,

Great quality, a little short
Not quite short enough to be considered cropped but shorter than expected. Very nice quality. I was the first to wear - Arrived with paper still wrapped around the buttons. Shoulder pads add some much needed structure.

Surprisingly short
Fit great, super cute but shockingly short. It felt cropped, like a 7/8 legging. I’m only 5’4” so wouldn’t recommend for taller gals. Didn’t wear it out.

Almost perfect dress
This is a high quality, beautiful dress. I wore for a full-day work event. It was super comfortable and I was tempted to purchase because I got a ton of compliments. There are two reasons I didn't buy it: 1) No pockets 2) wrinkles. It was so easy to wrinkle -- I got it professionally pressed and it got noticeably wrinkled just from putting it on.

Best for someone taller
I wanted to love this so much but it just hit in all the wrong spots. When on my waist, the skirt was at least 4in longer than my feet so I had to hike it up to wear it. I got it with the matching top and it was underwhelming bc the skirt was so long.

Exquisite embroidery
This is a stunning dress - the embroidery is so delicate & gorgeous. It does require a nude strapless or at the very least balconette style bra as the cut is pretty low. I would have had to wear shapewear to be comfortable so ended up wearing my backup.

Length did not work
The pants were soft and fit well enough but were supposed to be cropped. On me they were more like ankle pants and they just looked funny. I wish they were a bit longer or a bit shorter.

Loved this!
Don’t forget to unzip before putting it on. The fabric has a little stretch but a lot of structure so hides a lot. Color was a rich wine shade and it felt heavy but nice on. I wore this 4x during my rental and got tons of compliments on it. Will definitely rent again and might buy.

I wanted to love this so badly
The color is gorgeous, the skirt has an amazing twirl but unfortunately it was too small to wear out of the house. I think it would be much better on someone at least 2in taller - the straps were SO long and it just hit at weird places on me. I’m definitely more of a 16w than 16r so sizing is true to size. Fabric doesn’t have any stretch to it.

Beautiful embroidery
This was way nicer than I expected. Got the XL and the XXL for my free backup, wore the XL. Luxe fabric was structured enough to hide a muffin top but not very forgiving. Would rent again.

Upcoming wedding, knew I'd need lots of looks - what a deal!
When deciding on a wedding date for the following year, I signed up on a whim while ordering a dress for the annual company holiday party. WHAT A GOOD DEAL! In the 3x I've already ordered this year (at LEAST 1 more time planned) I've saved around $20 per order just in shipping & insurance plus $25 towards my "birthday outfit" quickly paying for itself. Since I don't plan on buying a formal gown ever again (who wants to wear the same dress twice!) I suspect I'll be a PRO member as long as they'll let me :)

Fun - but needs heels to shine!
Fit true to size, loved the gown. As a gal who is 5'4" it was extra important to wear HIGH heels to avoid looking a bit frumpy. Gorgeous fabric & high quality gown.

Expecting something more polished.
Stretchy top was more casual than expected. Just an ok dress for me. They can't all be home runs!

Pretty sure I got the wrong size now. I think I ordered the 16 & got the 14. It didn't fit.
Very beautiful fabric & cut, just too small for me

Fab bag, too small for anything bigger than an iPhone 5s sans case.
Bag was slightly damaged when it arrived but seemed usable. Very narrow, only could fit my id, cc, lipgloss & barely my phone - fine for me, but my date had to carry his mini aspirin pack in his own pocket. Great bag for an evening & I'd rent again w/ the right for the right look but glad I get to send it back to RTR! Paired well with the Theia black & gold sheath.

Never got so many compliments! Pics don't do it justice!
Pros: super comfy to wear! great quality fabric, little stretch/give to it - I'm between a 14 & 16 and the 14WR was perfect, Reg length perfect to hide flats (what I wanted - but if you're taller than 5'4" you may want the Long), can wear a normal bra! Cons: lots of loose threads in gold areas from wear but they weren't noticeable in person. I was wary of ordering & felt like it might not be great on/in person & I was so wrong. I've NEVER been complemented more & wish I had more photos but was too busy having a blast! I paired it with the fab Moschino gold clutch from RTR!

Great dress but runs a little large
The 16W was loose all around. This was sent as a back-up dress. It's really gorgeous but I could have used a size down.

Glam dress!
Sequins are a little itchy but bearable. Fitted in waist - if you carry weight in your trunk definitely opt for some Spanx. Deep v-neck was low but I used some tape to keep it secured & was able to wear a regular bra! I had to wear flats bc of some knee issues but with the Reg length the dress had a little drag but worked. Great dress!!
