Stretchy, form fitting with sexy slit
This fabric has a little stretch in it, but unfortunately it was just slightly too small to fit me properly at my regular size. If you're in between sizes, sizing up is probably the best bet. It is really flattering on the body, the fabric is thick and it's cut really well.

If you have curves, this is a VERY sexy dress
This dress will look beautiful on a variety of body types, but if you have an hourglass figure with large hips/bust, this dress is VERY sexy. Unfortunately it turned out to be too sexy for the wedding I was going to wear it to, but I did end up wearing it for Valentine's day dinner at an upscale restaurant (my husband loved it and hated it at the same time - a lot of men were not looking at my eyes). If you are larger than a B cup, you will be spilling out of the top of this dress. It also hugs every curve (but without being clingy at all - extremely flattering) to really accentuate an hourglass figure. The slits also came up quite high, about mid-thigh on me and I'm 5'3". Overall this is an excellent dress if you want to call a lot of attention to yourself.

I wore this everywhere - I love this dress!
I originally ordered this dress for a wedding I was attending, but I fell so in love with it that I held onto the dress for more than a month. You should know that this is a short slip (about mid thigh on me and I'm short at 5'3") with a sheer overlay. There is no stretch in the dress, it is fitted on the top and in the waist band. For me this makes the dress slightly more casual, so I ended up using it for several occasions. I even wore it to work, got lots of compliments, as well as to dinner and even errands lol. If I do decide to purchase any dress off of this website, it would be this one!

No bra will work with this!
I adored this dress. I rented it for my birthday and I wish I had a decent picture of it, because I felt amazing in it. The dress does run small, so if you are between sizes or have a thicker middle, you will definitely want to size up. This is a perfect dress for hourglass figures as it is not forgiving at all with the middle band, yet gives you lots of room in the hips and some room in the top. I am 34D and I couldn't find any plunge bras or sticky bras that would work with this dress. My "girls" are by no means perky, but this dress really held them up and in place. This dress is extremely low cut, I would not have worn this anywhere but to a club/party atmosphere.

Conservative yet Stylish
This fit in great with a corporate environment. It is forgiving, yet can overwhelm a petite figure. I am between sizes and had never ordered from this designer before, so I went up to the 8. I should have gone with the 6, as it was slightly baggy. The material works well in Spring/Fall, but would be too warm for Winter. I am 5'3" and it came to my knees. The fabric has no stretch and is fitted in the top, but I had plenty of room with 34D. The fabric feels luxe and it looks "expensive" - great for many occasions. The color is a nice bright red, can be styled many ways to be appropriate for a date, cocktail/semi-formal event or work.

Fits great - not as hot as other clover canyon
The colors are varying shades of purples and pinks. It's the same neoprane material that makes a canyon clover dress great - fits wonderful, molds to your body. The skirt is a slight A-line, but it will cling to your hips and stomach a bit. I like the cut, since it makes this fabric more wearable for summer. The straps are large enough that you can wear any type of bra. The dress is somewhat low cut, with 34D breasts they are "out there". Definitely not good for work or conservative environments, but a camisole would fix that. For social outings, this is a very nice dress. I've had a lot of different designer dresses now with unlimited, so I guess I'm a bit jaded, but this isn't a "show stopper". The pattern is different enough to stand out in a crowd though.

Four months in and I now love it
I had been on the waiting list for 10 months before I finally got the e-mail in January 2016 that I was selected for the program. I was ecstatic and quickly chose a few items that caught my eye. I was initially disappointed with the selection available and how difficult the system was to choose the unlimited items. I am extremely happy to report that all of my concerns about the system have been fixed in the last month. There is so much more selection than there was previously for the unlimited orders, as well as they implemented the same user friendly search function to sort through the available items. I am thrilled with this program now and will continue to purchase as long as it keeps going like this!

Very thick, luxurious fabric
I loved the color and the fabric on this dress. I got it in a 44 and probably would have liked it a tad better in the 42, but even a little large this dress looked great on. I wore it for a date night with my husband and it was definitely an eye-catcher. I didn't receive any compliments (other than plenty from my husband!) but overall I felt very sexy and confident. It is a little too long for my height, even with 6 inch heels, as it went slightly below my knees. Anyone shorter than 5'1" (even if wearing heels) should be warned that this will be a calf-length dress.

Good bag, a bit worn
I'm trying to up my style game, so I'm not really familiar with this brand. I wore the bag to work for a week and received one compliment, which to me is really a lose for a bag like this. It's also clumsy the way you have to open and close it, makes it difficult to work with. The entire front flap is the size of the bag, so when you open it, it tilts forward. While it comes with a long strap to hang from your shoulder, it definitely is made to be used with the short built-in strap for your elbow. It looks awkward on the long strap. The bag from RTR was very folded and it took a lot of caressing for me to want to wear it out, since it looked so creased and used. Overall it was an okay bag, if it weren't so used it might have wowed me a bit more.
