Cute, comfortable and flattering
The color is beautiful in person and I got so many compliments on this dress. I have a hard time with many RTRs due to my bust, but this dress worked great. I could have worn either the 8 or 10, but decided to size up to be more comfortable for a long evening. Perfect fit with a strapless bra and the adjustable shoulder straps made or easy to customize. Great length for taller ladies and the pleated skirt was a fun detail. I would definitely recommend this dress for other busty women who prefer to wear a bra with their dresses.

Felt elegant and classy
Great dress! Loved it from the moment I took it out of the bag. The red is deep and beautiful and the lace adds real elegance. The lace is soft, unlike many of the stiff and scratchy fabrics I've encountered. Easy to get on and off, long enough to feel covered but still sexy. Really loved this dress and found it perfect for a semi-formal wedding. I am usually a 4 in non-designer brands and a 6 in RTR. The 6 fit comfortably, so I didn't even try on the 4.

The venue manager called me best dressed at the event!
This dress was absolutely beautiful. The lace detail and colors made it unique and memorable. The venue manager came up to me during dinner and said it was one of the best dresses she had ever seen at a wedding there. I am 5'7" and it was borderline too short for a wedding, so depending on your event and comfort level with short dresses you may want to take that into account. The size 6 did fit, but with barely any extra room in the chest and waist. Would highly recommend this dress!

Cute, flattering dress!
I wore this dress for my Master's graduation ceremony and party afterwards. It was even cuter than the photos— a beautiful dark royal blue that looks purple in some lighting. This dress was very flattering, slimming and accommodated my large bust with a normal bra (key for me!) Classy length and would be appropriate for a party, shower, work event or even a wedding. Would rent again!

Perfect fitting dress
This dress is incredible. It fit like a glove, was very classy but had a surprise peek of cleavage. It was true to size dress size (I always tend to go up one size when I do RTR), form fitting yet comfortable. It was figure-flattering and a good length as well. The fabric is a little thicker (like a work dress fabric) so it's probably best for fall or winter events. I adore this dress and would purchase it if I could!

Standout dress!
Photos don't do this one justice. Beautiful lace detail, vibrant red, flattering silhouette and pockets make this a perfect wedding guest dress. I had many people ask me where I got it, and the grandmother of the groom told me that my dress was her favorite of the evening. I wear a 4 normally but a 6 in most RTRs. In this dress I ordered the 6 and 8. The 8 was way too big, and 6 fit comfortably with room. I would suggest ordering your usual size- it's not too snug. Would rent again!

Lots of compliments but tricky fit
People asked me all night where I got my great dress! I ended up feeling great in it, but the fit is tricky. The dress was tight overall but not tight enough to confidently skip wearing a bra at my bust size. I ended up using a Nubra along with the built-in elastic and it worked alright. The fabric bunched for me around the bottom of my rib cage which I didn't care for. The boning wire in my dress was also starting to poke out from so many wears. All in all it was a glamorous dress if you can get it to fit right!

Great pattern and style, tight fit
I wore this dress for a bachelorette party in Chicago. The pattern is great and it's a very unique dress. I received a lot of compliments! As other reviewers said, the dress runs incredibly small (had to size up to the L) and the fabric is thick. I usually love a body-con dress but I felt this one accentuated the wrong places. I thought the pattern would help camouflage a less-than-flat tummy but it highlighted it instead. I also have muscular shoulders and the cap sleeves kept riding up near the neckline. It worked, but I didn't feel my best in it.
