Great Birthday Dress!
I wanted something festive for my birthday party that wouldn't be super formal and would be comfortable outdoors in July. This was perfect! It was so comfortable and fit well. It would suit a variety of body shapes I think. It was just super easy to wear.

Not great
I got these as a "secret accessory" added onto my shipment. These were heavy and hung awkwardly. They were also a little difficult to get on. I ended up not wearing them.

I felt beautiful! GET THIS DRESS!
Fantastic dress. My favorite thus far. Its biggest attribute is that it was completely comfortable. There was no tugging or readjusting all night. The fit was extremely flattering and it was easy to move in. The tulle skirt needed some straightening coming out of the box and it was a little tricky getting in and out of the car, but those are just things to keep in mind, not complaints. As for length, if in doubt, go longer. The 2R with a low heel barely brushed the floor on my 5'7" height.

Flowy and Comfortable
This dress was very flowy, comfortable, and all round beautiful. Even though it has some sequins and is completely lined, it is very lightweight. I had tried this on when RTR had an event in my city and loved it, but it was already reserved the days I needed it. I was so happy when I had another occasion for a dress and it was still available! I ordered the 0R and the 2R. I ended up wearing the 0R mainly because of the length. The 2R was at least 4 inches longer than the 0R. I really think there might have been a mistake and I was sent the 2L instead. The fit was the same, but this was primarily because the 0R was very stretched out. The bodice has a lot of give and has smocking across the back which clearly had been worn quite a bit, and probably by someone who should have sized up and showed wear in some other places too. These are the only reasons it gets 4 stars...otherwise, it is beautiful and you should wear it!

Great holiday season dress!
This dress was really great. The fabric had a little stretch and it was comfortable to wear all night. I was one of the organizers of the event and had quite a bit of running around to do, along with some bending and lifting--the dress was still comfortable! I got tons of compliments. It was true to size, but I did find the 0 a little tighter than other 0's I have worn. I really could have worn the 2, which was my back up size, but it was a little looser through the shoulders on my small frame.

Beautiful...but...
This dress was beautiful and I felt beautiful in it, but it was the most uncomfortable dress I have ever worn. I rented it to wear to two Inaugural Galas in DC. After the first event I was dreading wearing it to the second event. The biggest problem is the boning in the bust. It contours the bust nicely, but rather continuing down to the bodice, the ends of the boning poke right into your chest below the bust. I had red marks from this after just trying it on. The sequins around the top were rough too, which is expected in a sequin dress so it didn't bother me too much. The zipper is difficult because it is a hidden zipper and the sequins come right up to it so it is really tight. You WILL need help to get in and out of it. The second night I wore it, after exhausting all possibilities in my own wardrobe. I wrapped my torso in an ace bandage to prevent the boning from stabbing me all night. Night #2 was MUCH more comfortable than the first one. But, is this the price we pay for being beautiful? Perhaps...because I absolutely love every picture I was wearing the dress in and I got compliments continuously.

Perfect for a summer wedding in Vegas
This dress was beautiful! Very light and flowy and perfect for any outdoor event in the summer. I wore it to a wedding on the casual side and was very comfortable. The length was probably my favorite part because it made it comfortable to sit. It is also extremely forgiving in the middle. I don't wear orange well, but based on earlier reviews, saw that this was more of a coral color and took a chance. The color was a very true coral and looked great. I ordered the 0 and the 2 and went with the 0 mainly because it fit my small chest frame and bust better. It was even comfortable enough to wear out after the wedding for the rest of the evening. Great dress!

Fun wedding in a versatile dress!
I wore this for a black-tie optional wedding. It was a perfect choice. The ruffles on front fell very nicely. The length was a bit short for my liking when I sat down, but it wasn't a big deal. The fabric was very soft, but had almost no stretch. The 0 was almost a little tight, but the 2 was too big. I wish this dress hung in my closet permanently. I could see so many opportunities to wear it!

Easy to wear, loads of compliments.
This was a beautiful, comfortable dress. The sleeve was a little tricky to figure out when it was on the hangar, but once the dress was on it was fine. The dress was very true to size and would have been fine even if I were bigger in the bust, but it stayed in place and I didn't have to adjust it at all during the night. The length definitely required heels, I really could have worn the 0R and been fine. The color in my picture looks a little brighter than it was. The color was closer to what is shown in the RTR model pic. I chose to go with minimal jewelry, but it would have looked great with a couple of additional glitzy pieces.

Perfect choice for a black-tie wedding.
This is a great dress! The black lace over the purple fabric is a nice detail. It was true to size, but like other reviewers said, it might run a little short. I got the long length, and it was perfect with heels. I would recommend it for a thin frame, very flattering. The only bit of warning I would offer is that the side split, while very sexy, is also cut VERY high. A good gust of wind and this dress becomes very revealing. After the first incident, I secured it a few inches down with a safety pin and was fine for the rest of the night with no worries. The belt shipped was a size 10 belt and was not adjustable...obviously a problem...but again, safety pin to the rescue. I wore it with a cuff bracelet similar to the picture and chandelier earrings and got compliments all night!

I wore this for a black-tie casino night benefit. I really loved the color and style!
This does run small. I am small framed and very thin and usually wear an extra small, but ordered an xxs as a backup size. I wore the x-small, but it was pretty snug through the hips and I felt like the rushing wasn't falling right. A small probably would have been better. It fit fine in the top. I am a 34A and it looked good, but there was plenty of room so it would have fit if I were bigger busted. Overall it looked good and I would wear it again. The fabric is really nice too. Very comfortable and I didn't have to tug at it all night.
