Cute, but not outstanding

This jacket fits snug, so you can't wear anything bulky underneath. I paired it with a short black dress and a multi-strand pearl necklace for a fashion show fundraiser. Didn't get as many compliments as I usually do with RTR items. Maybe it's better with a more casual look?

Gorgeous dark emerald sequin gown!!

This dress was a result of a previous mis-calcuated order on my part. I ordered a less-formal dress that didn't fit well and called RTR as soon as I realized it wasn't going to work, and browsed online with customer service until we found this one. RTR customer service is awesome. It was sent to me the next day and it was perfect!! The photo doesn't do it justice. The color is beautiful. I usually wear a 2L, but they only had a 0L, and 2R by the time I ordered it. The 2R was too short with my 5" heels, and the 0L was a bit snug, but the length was perfect. Many, many compliments - different than the typical black gown. Fair warning: the sequins gave me an unsightly underarm rash for a few days. Nothing a little cortisone couldn't clear up, however.

Very cute and playful - perfect for holiday cocktail party!

This dress was super cute and comfortable. I wore the XS, and sometimes I am in between XS & S, but the XS fit really well. This dress should be worn on the tighter side or else it could look too juvenile. I was worried that the pleated drop-waist would look too cutesy, but I paired it with high-heeled black suede boots and that gave it enough edge. Lots of compliments. Great quality material as well.

Pretty dress, but too casual for my black tie event and not a great fit for me

The color of this dress is a gorgeous burgundy, but it was a lot less formal than I thought it would be. I tried it on for several people and they all said the same thing - it just didn't fit well and didn't do anything for me. It was very comfortable because the lace was a stretchy material, but I think that's what made it more casual. This would be a better for perhaps a winter wedding, not a formal black tie affair. The back was beautiful and low, but the fit was too loose on me. I normally wear a 2L, should have gone with a 0L. I like to wear 5" heels, so I usually end up getting the long length, even though I am only 5'5". This dress would be best on someone with curves and a larger bust. Otherwise, it just sort of hangs. I called RTR that night to ask for a 0L, but they were out. I looked online with the customer service rep and we found another dress that was more formal. The next day, a new dress, which was perfect, was at my front door. Customer Service at RTR is amazing!

Amazing color and draping on this gown. Very flattering and comfortable.

True to the reviews, this gown was small in bust, so if you have a larger ribcage and/or chest size, order one size up. I'm glad I ordered the 4L. My heels were 5" and would have been too tall for the regular length. I accessorized with mint green jewel drop earrings and a sapphire/mint cuff. It made the dress modern and young.

Cute, but not a great fit

This dress looked darling on the website and other women, but it was way too short on me. I felt it would have been great for someone younger. Very small in the ribcage/bust. I did not end up wearing it. Beautiful deep, bordeaux color.

Many many compliments!

This was a great LBD for a holiday party. The fit was on the small side - I usually wear a 2, and the 4 was snug for me. It showed the perfect amount of skin - not too much, but enough to be interesting. I wore it with black tights and booties for warmth, a great black cuff bracelet and dangly earrings. No need for a necklace as the neckline is really beautiful on it's own.
