Perfect dress for a perfect night!
My boyfriend planned a nice dinner, and last minute I realized I wasn't happy with any of the dresses I owned. My mom suggested I hop on RTR and I was actually able to find two dresses I liked for overnight shipping! I knew I loved Elizabeth and James because of their fit, quality, and simplicity, so got this actually as my backup. As soon as I zipped it up, I knew this was the dress I wanted to wear -- their dresses always make me look amazing and fit like they've been tailored to me! Looks amazing in all of the photos of that amazing night, too!!!

Already rented it again!
So this gown came as a backup to my backup to my backup! I had originally ordered the Liquid Silver gown, and that was out, and my planned backup gown was WAYYY too big, so RTR sent me a ML and a LL in this gown. Well, the large was too big, the medium fit but the straps were super stretched out, so I contacted the team just to see how to make the straps work and they immediately overnighted me a SL in this gown! WOWZA did it make me look amazing!!! Wore it to a military Sweetheart Ball (where we knew no one) and my husband actually requested that I rent it again for the Dining Out in May! I told him it was more expensive than we had wanted, and my extremely frugal husband said "I don't care -- rent the gown!" I wore it with the accessories I had gotten for the other gown, so a pair of statement earrings and a beautiful black cuff and it looked great! I would have ordered it with a necklace, but actually it's better without one. Just for reference, I'm 5'7 and wore 4in heels, 150lbs (recently lost 30lbs!) and wear a 32DDD (though no bra with the gown and the girls were just fine). Speaking of boobs, I DID have to keep adjusting throughout the night and the gown DID stretch as the night wore on, so my husband and I just kind of danced by the table instead of on the dance floor to avoid any mishaps! I know I have a larger chest, but the small actually held me in better than the medium because the top wasn't as stretched out -- so keep that in mind when you order! I'm trying to add photos but it isn't working...

Looked great for my husband's graduation from Army Jag!
I ordered this for my husband's graduation from Army Jag School. It was simple and classy enough for a military wife (and his super conservative father), but also sexy enough that my husband loved it! Heed the warnings though! This does run SMALL so size the heck up! It was very comfortable once you get it on, though!

I was scared it was too small at first, but it worked perfectly!
I wore this to my husband's Blues Reception for the Army. It was perfect! I felt like I really stood out from the other gowns, and looked stunning! I was worried at first because I couldn't zip it up, but my husband had NO PROBLEMS the next day! I didn't even need to wear spanx!

Wish I could have worn it!
I bought this for a date, but it turned out to be a bit fancier than what my husband was wearing so I changed. I felt like I belonged in a James Bone movie! Can't wait for the chance to rent it and actually wear it!! Be warned: the slit is VERY high. I wouldn't wear it to a work event, but it was great for a date!
