Groovy dress for 70's party
Perfect dress for 70's party - paired with white go go boots and got a ton of compliments.

Comfortable
While I liked the dress, it was nothing special. While the knew the skirt was longer, I thought it would be more flattering with the with "underskirt" being short, but it seemed longer than I thought it would be. The top was nice with a plunging neck line but not too revealing. It fit well and for once the zipper wasn't impossible to zip (which I find many RtR zippers are). Would recommend getting jazzy accessories to make it be not so "plain" to wear.

Elegant and sparkling
Rented for a formal work event. Size 10r was floor length on me 5"7 and could wear regular bra and zip myself. Was a little revealing in chest. Tried size 12r (backup size) which was a foot shorter (so T length) and couldn't get zipped no matter how hard I tried. Seemed more like a size 2. While fitted was flattering for a body with a few bumps

Didn't wear
The skirt fluffs out and wasn't flattering to my not perfectly flat stomach.

Amazing color
Fit well for larger chest although slightly big around back. Snug at middle and needed shapewear. Wore normal bra. Received multiple compliments on color and style. Perfect for charity formal event in a hanger that wasn't air conditioned on hot humid evening.

Nice simple but elegant dress for a holiday party
Fit true to size. While not skin tight fabric definately showed all bumps and lumps. Once I put on shape wear it smoothed everything out. Nice length, comfortable to wear.

Totally appropriate dress for work black tie event for woman over forty
Fit well as a larger chested woman, wore regular bra. Fabric did not stretch so hard to zip by myself and ended up going to back up size. But because fabric didn't stretch it also hid body imperfections which was nice. Good length with 4" heels. Sequins did scrape on arm a bit but not a show stopper. Got so many compliments. It was my backup dress as first choice dress they didn't have my backup size and although my first choice dress fit fine I like this dress much better. Sequins gave it glam but wasn't too flashy.
