Very cool peplum dress! Went very well with my red hair!
i rented this for my friend's October wedding at Harvest on Hudson in NY. Luckily she had shawls provided because I was freezing for the outdoor (very windy) ceremony. The dress was not AS form fitting as I would have liked, but you take what you can get when you have a 30'' waist and DDD chest....Overall I enjoyed wearing this dress and received a few compliments, too.

Cool necklace!
Very neat/eye catching statement necklace. Although, when I was dancing at the wedding, the spikes kept flipping up and I would have to twist them back down so they didn't stab me in the neck.....

Dress did not fit well at all
I could not get it zipped up in the back initially because the sleeves of the dress prevented me from raising my arms above my chest. I somehow got it and it was pulling a bit in the chest,(I am a DDD) but otherwise it was fine. I just didn't like the idea that I could not raise my arms. I felt trapped! Then I tried to get it off and I literally got stuck in the dress and started freaking out because no one was home to help me. I had to wait until someone got home so they could unzip the dress for me.....kind of a scary moment...haha. I ended up wearing my back up dress.

Beautiful Bracelet!
Didn't look cheap or gaudy at all. I was dancing a lot, though, and it did fly off my wrist twice....and at one point hit the lead singer of the live music band in the leg.....oops...hahaha.

Compliments ALL night!
Everyone at my cousin's wedding was asking me where I bought my dress, but I had to break it to them that it wasn't mine it was from RTR! Although this dress was not one that I could wear a normal bra with, it was still tight enough up top for me to not have to adjust myself constantly. I loved this dress!

Lovely Dress!
I wore this to my boyfriend's cousin's wedding and it was a great dress. It did fit true to size, which is great. You can also wear a normal bra with it (which I am a big fan of since im rather large in the chest area). The only thing I did not like about this dress is that while dancing, the bib lining near the neck kept popping out. It seemed like an unnecessary piece of lining right there (why couldn't it have all been connected?). But otherwise it was a great dress.

Great Necklace
It didn't look cheap like some of the other jewelry I have rented.

Very snazzy birthday dress!
This dress was just right for my birthday outing at night. i wore it with black tights (it was still cold here in March) and 5 inch suede heels. I am a dull figured lady on top (36DD) but this dress did not make me "stand out" TOO much. Just the right amount :) It is a good idea to wear control-top tights with this, though. Also, the sequins really rubbed my arms a bit raw so I had to put my elbows on the bar we were at. I received many compliments on this dress and loved how cute I looked in it :)

Looks better on the website...
This bracelet was very cute, but it differs from the picture. The beads are not sewn as closely together as they are in the picture online and they do not wrap completely around the cuff.

Looks cute on the model, but....
When the torso meets the waist/skirt part of the dress, it sort of billows out at the top. It made me feel and look like an ugly cupcake :( I tried fixing it with a cinch belt, but that did not work. The back is also very low, so good luck finding a bra that will work for this (for you bigger chested girls like me..DD+) Overall, the dress was just not flattering at all.

I LOVED THIS DRESS!!!! It fit perfectly and I didn't have to worry about wardrobe malfunctions!
This dress fits true to size. I did not even use the hollywood tape that I purchased just in case i had to tape the front(I have a 36DD chest and I didn't want any sudden appearances!). The dress provided the perfect ratio of coverage to cleavage ;) As for the other accounts that I've read about feeling like you're walking in a tube...totally didn't get that from this dress...I did not feel restricted in my walking at all(although I wasn't stomping it out like a model). I wore heels that were about 4 1/2'' for my 5'4'' frame and the length worked wonderfully. I did have to snip off a few stray strings, but other than that the dress was in perfect condition(and I got PLENTY of compliments). I was really sad to take it off at the end of the night, though...I wish I could have kept this for longer!
