Stand out!
The hi low made this dress feel fancy but fun! Fits great. Wore no bra, even stick ons showed. Straps were long and not adjustable. Halfway through wedding had to tie up the straps to avoid a nip slip! I like to dance a lot and pretty wildly (jumping, etc) so strap adjustments would have been nice! Worked well once tied up! Have a tie or a clip/pin ready to go to keep the ladies up-this dress is worth it!

Perfect day to night dress
Wore it to brunch paired with a chambray overshirt, knotted. Took that off for night time birthday party! Super cute, runs large. Heavy feeling fabric, but stayed cool throughout a warm March day! Comfortable all day and all night.

Rehearsal Dinner Compliments!
Wore this to my girlfriend's rehearsal and rehearsal dinner. I would have added a picture, but I'm wearing a lobster bib in all of them! Sorry! Very conservative and cute-appropriate for church then a dinner with friends. I styled with mint accessories. Runs a bit large, but very comfortable! Careful- had to remove my dark underwear because you could see the shadow of them! Light underwear, ladies!!!

Gorgeous for a bachelorette!
Wore it at my girlfriends bachelorette in Miami to a club. Definitely needed double sided tape and petals just to be sure. Very flattering, covered up my flat tire very well! The sequins were mildly scratchy, but that was really a non-issue for me! I LOVED THIS! It's a great blue color, but that's not seen in this very filtered photo!

The most flattering silhouette!
Fit great, wore the smaller size to emphasize the waist. Color is awesome. I have a pretty significant "spare tire" and this dress hid it well. I felt confident and beautiful! Wore dangle earrings and bangles, the dress structure stands out itself! No need for chunky necklaces here. Debated a short delicate gold necklace (one of those ones with a small bar in the middle) and it looked great but didn't go with my earrings so I had to make a choice! You can't go wrong with this dress and accessorizing it is super easy.

GORGEOUS AND FLATTERING!
Tight around the waist, but flows out! Hid my love handles and back phat nicely! Very flattering. I don't have much of a natural waistline and this gave me one! The ombré color and pattern were gorgeous-perfect for my niece's baptism! I felt very pretty in this!

Gorgeous!
I didn't end up wearing it because it was supposed to be a rainy day in NYC and I didn't want to worry about the dress on dirty sidewalks. I did try it on and WHAT A BEAUT! Fit great, really flattering. I will be renting this again!

It's NAVY!
Great dress-flowy, comfortable. Didn't know it was navy! Thought it was black. No matter, still gorgeous. No tank underneath for me-still loved it. Wore it out to my birthday dinner with some tan booties. Great winter dress! Sleeves fit a little tight, but I have big arms and a wide back! It would be fine for someone with a smaller overall frame and smaller arms! Almost wore one size up because of it! Order one size larger for extra flow

Stand out dress
Runs large. I usually wear a 12, read the reviews, ordered an 8 and a 10. Wore the 10, it fit really nicely. A wee bit snug in the arms but not bad-I have big arms. Almost wore the 8 but I felt uncomfortable with my body and ended up changing into the 10. If you want a tighter, more form fitting dress you may want to go two sizes below your regular size! Also needed spunking up- the drop earrings suggested by RTR were too formal/work looking for me. Wish I had a crazy necklace to go with it but a pair of loud, fun earrings and a loud bangle did the trick. Black bag and shoes also added some flare over my original nude intentions. Great dress, definitely stood out and got tons of compliments!

Didn't wear, but really nice!
Didn't wear them with the dress I selected because I felt they aged me. I needed spunkier with the dress I chose. These would go great to tone down the feel of a spunky sparkly dress. A bit too formal/ work like for my high neck red dress. Would rent for a different dress!
