Couldn’t wear it
The dress was beautiful as long as I was standing up and not breathing. Sitting down was impossibility. There is no stretch to this dress so if you have a little extra in the hip area, this may not work for you.

Not for short, big-chested women
Even with 3" heels, this dress trailed on the ground, making it unsafe for me to wear. And the cups on the dress came nowhere close to covering me, definitely not appropriate for a church wedding. This dress is made for tall, flat-chested women. The rest of us, not so much. That said, the fabric was beautiful and very high-quality.

Beautiful dress but lots of cleavage
The fabric on this dress is lovely and it was very comfortable to wear except that the straps are not adjustable, which resulted in quite a bit of cleavage showing. I ended up having to safety pin the straps in the back, which of course kept opening all night.

Jessica Rabbit dress!
I felt great in this dress. I was able to wear a regular bra, and the fabric was super forgiving. I rented a similar dress from the same designer to wear next weekend. It was a lot of cleavage though, hence the Jessica Rabbit title.

Beautiful dress, easy to wear
Lovely embroidery and flattering cut on this dress. I didn't need any special undergarments. I wore it for a charity event in the botanic gardens so I didn't want anything long. Would rent again

Pretty dress but too much room up top.
This was sent to me as a back-up when my original dress wasn't available. It was too dressy for the garden party I was attending, but in addition to that was huge in the bust. I'm a 36C, and although the dress fit in the waist and hips, I wouldn't have been able to keep it up. Definitely a good choice for women with larger chests though.

Comfortable but a bit long
I found this really comfortable and easy to wear - no special undergarments needed, and because of the extra layer of fabric along the top, I didn't even need a bra. The only trouble was that it was way too long. I'm 5'3" and even with 4.5" high wedges on, the dress still dragged on the ground and I had to hold it up throughout the evening.

Beautiful dress but avoid wearing spiked heels
Fit was true to size but if you are smaller on top, you might need a little filler. Due to the heavy fabric, I didn't need a bra or any special undergarments. Only complaint was that the lace kept getting caught on my high heels and even snagged another woman's bracelet when she walked by.

Lovely dress for a formal event with work colleagues
Once again, RTR to the rescue. At noon on Tuesday, I realized I hadn't ordered a dress for an event for that Thursday night. One of the dresses I had looked at earlier was still available, although only in one size, and miraculously, it arrived the next day and it fit! It was a little big in the torso, but I think a size down would have been too tight in the arms. The color is a dark blue with bronze, which made accessories a little challenging, but I went with yellow gold shoes, purse and jewelry, and I think it was ok. Loads of compliments. It was easy to wear, no bra needed or even Spanx.

Beautiful dress, but loads of cleavage
The size 8 fit but the zipper was sticking so I went with the 10. It was very figure flattering but showed a ton of cleavage. I'm a 36C and was able to get away without a bra though. I received a lot of compliments on the dress, and it was fairly comfortable to wear. A few pulls in the lace, but they weren't that noticeable.

Favorite dress yet!
This dress was 5 stars plus. I found it super comfortable to wear. It is a bit tight in the chest but as it is strapless, that's not a bad thing. I got compliments all night from both women (who all commented on the dress) and men (who generally just said "you look great" but I'll chalk that up to the dress too) The skirt is actually a pale grey, not white as it appears in some photos.

Stand out in a crowd
The back on this dress is what really makes it. I would have given it five stars except it was a little bit big in the waist, which made me look like I had a tummy that I don't have. And I had to improvise a backless bra. I got tons of compliments and stood out in a crowd of LBDs.

Perfect dress for Diner en Blanc
I loved this dress. The fabric was really forgiving - I didn't even need a bra. The back is really fun, and the sequins were small but added great movement for the dress. My only complaint was the zipper didn't lay flat on the bottom, but otherwise the dress was in perfect condition.

Fun dress, easy to wear
I wore this dress for a "boots & bling" party, hence the cowboy boots. The dress was really easy to wear - no special bra or undergarments needed. Good quality fabric, and the sliver thread running through it added a nice touch. I ended up wearing the 6, although the 8 was actually shorter in length, it was too big in the waist. Adding the black belt helped define the waist line a little bit in the 6, as well.

Not a good dress for pear shapes.
I didn't wear this dress, although technically it did fit. I have a small waist and large hips, rear end and thighs. I found that the pleating at the waist only emphasized them while not defining my waist very well at all. I also thought the sequins were uncomfortable under the arm. My daughter's 17 year old friend was volunteering at the same event I had gotten this dress for, and she ended up wearing the size 4 back-up dress. She is 5' 10" and very straight up and down - it looked great on her.
