Easy, edgy, can be glammed up or toned down
Loved this and was super happy with it. PROS: the fabric is heavy but stretchy, so I wore the large but could have done the medium if I hadn't been concerned about overheating. It was comfortable and fit nicely and true to size. The shoulder pads look sharp AF -- not too over the top but give you a clear posture boost. Love that the collar is super wide to show off whatever shirt collar you have underneath. CONS: besides the heaviness of the fabric (which in the end wasn't that big of an issue for me, I danced all night and wasn't bothered), my only disappointment was that as soon as I opened the bag I noticed that the white parts of the lapels are not as crisp as they appear in the pictures with the model. I'm not sure if it's intended that way or if the pieces are just getting older, but the fabric is a little softer than I wanted there and a little more off-white than crisp white. But in the end that didn't pose issues for me either, it didn't seem to stand out on my outfit as a whole once I put it all together. All in all, would rent this again. So fun to glam up with a gold collar chain.

Lovely and interesting but somehow, off.
It's certainly lovely and interesting. I was super excited about this one but ended up wearing my backup instead because it was less sexy or chic than I expected, and more just kind of, cute. I have wide hips (hourglass) and the waistline looked odd. Otherwise fit true to size!

Sexy, sophisticated, dance-floor-ready.
Love this dress. You either can wear a sticky bra (unhooked at the center), or nothing. I did have trouble with the zipper, it was nearly impossible to move it smoothly across the center ribbon/belt spot, both on the hanger but also especially while on me. Otherwise adore adore adore. So many compliments and felt so comfortable.

Simple and stunning, made fancy by the sparkle.
The dress has a bit of stretch, so the 10 fit me like a glove and was so comfortable. Perfect dress for those who prefer to wear darker colors but are going to an event where a little more life is required. The dark green sequins are super classy. Very easy to dance in. Loved this and would wear it again.

Simple and stunning.
The dress (and RTR in general) was everything I hoped it'd be; I'm very glad I went for it. The material shipped amazingly - no wrinkles, 100% ready to wear. The 8R would have been perfect for my size but was a bit tight at the hips, so I went with the 10R which ended up a bit loose at the sleeves. Either way, super comfortable. Length was perfect, about an inch or half-inch off the floor. Definitely go for a backless number underneath the lace. Lots of compliments on this beautiful dress.
