Just received this brand-new, tags still on dress in a Sz 16. Stretchy material, very comfortable. Yet to try it on with a bra or spanx, or wear it for my anniversary, but it's incredibly flattering, not overly accentuation my lower stomach. Very cool design.

This dress would have worked for me had the torso been a bit shorter. It hit too low under my armpits, thus at a not so flattering spot on my waist. It needed to be pulled up slightly, but I wasn't about to take to pinning the straps in the back. It also made my bust look larger than it is, which I wasn't a big fan of.

Really hoped this was going to work for me, but it was just insanely tight across my chest. I'm recently a size 16, 40-42C chest and there was just no way I could make this work for me. Disappointing because it's so cute!

Perhaps still a little too big for me, but comfortable none the less, just had to find the right work duster to go with it.

I got the 16W as a backup and thank goodness I did, b/c when fully zipped, the 14W was too tight across the chest. The 16W fit my figure well, although it did pucker a bit across the chest at the armpits- the dress cuts in, but it fit well. I did wear Spanx underneath and once again, thank goodness I did b/c near the water it was a windy and the bottom poof of the dress kept wanting to fly up! All in all, it was a beautiful dress for the occasion and I simply wore gold hoop earrings and put my hair in an updo since there was so much pattern doing on with the dress.

I wore the navy Midnight Glamour Dress in a straight 14 last summer and received so many compliments. A few more pounds this summer, this dress fit with a little breathing room in the midsection, but the top of the dress was so large on me. It took 2 safety pins plus double sided tape and I still felt exposed. Supposed to wear the Draped in Gold Dress in a 14W in July, so I may look back into a straight size.

Wore this for a work gala and received many compliments! I had tried on the dress in store a few months back and decided this was the event to wear it for and so I got the 16W and 18W sent. Even though it was a little tight across the bust (I went braless because of the wide set straps) and rib cage (pulled a bit across), it was extremely comfortable to wear and I loved the shape of the dress due to the tulle under the skirt. Due to traffic, I missed happy hour then remained seated for the rest of the night, so I will definitely be renting this dress again when I get to stand up and dance the night away!

I wore this for a black-tie wedding in Manhattan, ordering it through a stylist at the showroom at Henri Bendel a month prior. It fit like a glove! The day of the wedding, I guess I didn't lose those extra few pounds I had hoped for, so the dress gathered a bit at the zipper lying at the top of my butt. It wasn't a big deal if I was dancing, but just standing around, I did have to sneak a pull down or two of the dress to smooth it out. Otherwise, it was beautiful. I had a hard time getting the fashion tape to stay put across my chest, but my bra never peeked out, I wore a regular bra and I received so many compliments. My dad even saw a photo and told me to snatch it up for keeps! I'd definitely like to try this out in the champagne or black in the future.

Wore it with the Badgley Mischka Midnight Glamour Gown on the advice of my stylist at Henri Bendel and I once I got it, I was afraid it wuoldn't fit everything I needed, but it did and more! This is what I had in it: Fast Flats, keys, lipgloss, concealer, mini-portable phone charger, cards/cash, hair clip. I carried my phone all night for photos, so I didn't really need my iphone to fit at all. I'd definitely rent this again.

I wore this with the Badgley Mischka Midnight Glamour Gown to a black-tie wedding and the earrings were beautiful and just enough for the dress. I had just gotten my haircut short, so unless I was dancing around and my hair was flying, most people didn't see them, but when they did, I received many compliments.

I met with Jessica at the RTR Showroom at Henri Bendel in NYC. I was about to checkout with the same dress in green, a size larger and regular length. For reasons unknown, I couldn't take the dress, so we tried this one one and it fit better in the bust, although as the night went on, it proved to be too long for me, even in stilettos. Lots of stepping on the dress and I was afraid to dance without having to hike it up with my hand. I did get a lot of compliments, totally felt like I fit in and had an amazing night. I'll definitely use Jessica again for a black-tie wedding come July.
