Best RTR dress yet!

First off, I can't say enough good things about the RTR customer service. I had originally picked out a different dress, but it was not available last minute. They sent me an email asking me to select a different choice, but I didn't receive it in time and they picked a dress for me. I really disliked the dress that was sent to me and they were so polite and lovely about overnighting me this choice for no added cost. This dress was AMAZING. It's incredibly flattering and really highlights a small waist. If you're curvy in the hips, this is a great dress as it has lots of room in the skirt. I am 5'3 and the length was perfect with 3 inch heels. There is also plenty of room in the bust. I'm a 34D and there was plenty of room up top. My only problem with the dress was that my heels kept getting caught in the lace whenever I walked. It was annoying, but I didn't mind that much. I ended up taking off my heels to dance anyway!

Perfect Jumpsuit for Pear Shaped Ladies!

I have always wanted to try a jumpsuit, but had a hard time I am short and pear-shaped - most of them don't fit my butt and thighs. I took a risk on this one and kind of assumed it wouldn't work...but to my pleasant surprise, this outfit was a total winner. The wide-leg pant makes it wearable for curvier gals & the shape of the jumpsuit is super flattering. I found the top very secure - I wear a 34D and was completely comfortable without a bra. I just wore some spanx and felt very comfortable. The lace panels on the sides have nude netting under them and the placement of the lace on the chest make this outfit super classy. My favorite RTR so far!

Pretty and comfortable

The stretchy material makes this dress super comfortable and flattering. I got a ton of compliments on the neckline. I found the sleeves to be an awkward length on me, but otherwise liked it a lot.!

Luxurious and classy!

I loved this dress because it was very modest but still felt fun and flirty. The length is nice on a shorter girl - not criminally short, but not so long that it swallowed me up. It seemed really well made and was super comfy. Plus? Pockets!!

Gorgeous romper, but strange sizing.

This romper is well made and beautiful, but the fit was a bit strange. It seemed very loose in the top and small in the lower half. Sadly, I couldn't wear it.

Comfortable, Casual & Classy!

This dress is more casual than it appears in the photo, which was a good thing for me. It is absolutely appropriate for a casual party, dinner out, or daytime event. It could be dressed up for a wedding with heels and jewelry, but would not be appropriate for a formal event. This dress is very comfortable and covers up everything without looking matronly. I found that the piping was very slimming and that the cut of the dress was super flattering to my pear shape. I did find that the higher neckline felt a bit constricting, but it did not stop me from wearing it. Overall, it was a really pretty and colorful dress that worked perfectly for the graduation party I was attending.

Stunning!

These are pretty big (larger than a quarter) but they are surprisingly comfortable. They are super pretty and really dressed up my simple outfit.

Not What I Expected

I was really let down by this dress. It seems to be a fine quality and fit me, but it just wasn't attractive in person. There was a bunch of weird, loose draping on the bust that honestly made it look like I had a saggy chest... not pretty! The waist also hit me in the strangest place. It wasn't right under my bust, but not quiet at the waist. It just did not flatter me and I did not wear it.

Unforgettable Dress!

I got so many compliments on this dress. It is so sparkly, but also seems very well made. It is a pretty heavy dress, but also comfortable. I did find that the chest runs very large (and I'm big busted!) so I had to use double stick tape to keep it from sliding. The length is really nice if you want to be able to dance without worrying about the dress riding up all night. With the dress being so sparkly, fitted, and low cut, the length keeps it looking classy. The color is gorgeous, almost a rose gold. I couldn't have been happier with this dress! Perfect for my bachelorette!

Simple, Sweet & Classic

I ordered this dress last minute after my original dress didn't work out. It is a gorgeous dress and is very well structured. I found it ran true to size. I wore this for my bridal shower and I got a ton of compliments. I liked the length - not obscenely short, but not long.

Didn't Work For Me

I ended up wearing this dress because I didn't have a backup, but I didn't love it. The design and fabric are gorgeous, as is the shape of the dress. I think it would look lovely on the right person. On me, it was INCREDIBLY short and the neckline was almost awkwardly high. It is also not super forgiving for larger hips/butt.

I Had SO Many Compliments!

This dress is beautiful and very flattering. It hides any belly bulge, accents a small waist, and is also forgiving of hips/thighs while showing off your collarbone. It was very easy to move in. I felt like a million bucks! I have never had so many people come up to me (complete strangers) to comment on how beautiful the dress was.

More Casual Than I Expected

This dress is adorable, but it was more casual in person than I expected. There is no shine to this dress, it's almost a linen material. The "white" stripes are actually more of a tan color. The dress is super cute, but would be more suited for a casual lunch or a day out, as opposed to a cocktail event.
