I originally ordered the Blue Porter Dress by Hunter Bell for NYE 2016 in Times Square but I got an email on the day of that my size was unavailable! I was literally heartbroken but told myself to take a chance and visit the RTR store in NYC to see if I could find any alternatives. Thank goodness I did because I found this prefect dress for my evening! I recently dropped a lot of weight so the size I thought I was, wasn’t right and it almost seemed like this Bijou sheath dress was waiting for me! I now know that I’m a size 8; however, this dress was actually a 6 and fit perfectly! The back is pretty open so its best not to wear a bra with it (or one with clear straps). I received so many compliments on it all night long and it was THE statement dress to bring in the New Year! RTR came through for me yet again!

I was honestly skeptical b/c they only had a 12R available and some other reviews I read for that size didn't work out well for them. Thankfully my dress fit perfectly ! I picked it up in store and had helpful stylists ! I received many compliments throughout the dress b/c of its elegance & vibrant color ! The length of the dress was perfect, I wore gold T-strap sandals w/ a 4.5 in heel & it was the perfect length. I took off the heels for the reception & wore flats, which i had to hold my dress b/c it grazed the ground a bit. However, if you hold up one side of the dress it makes it easier for you to dance in, climb stairs, etc. I paired mine with gold accessories and a bright orange flower for my hair (you should also wear a racerback bra). Overall, I was very satisfied with my dress & will be ordering from RTR again very soon :)
