Photographs really well
When I first tried it on I was disappointed. I felt like it didn't give me much of a shape or that it wasn't flattering with both a high neckline and back... but it was actually pretty cute. I loved the way it looked in photos and once my hair and makeup were done, it was perfect for NYE. I'm a size 4 in dresses so I almost rented the small and backup medium, but I ordered the small and backup XS. I ended up wearing the XS because I liked the length and color better; it fit perfectly.

Very pretty
I loved the way they looked. I was worried they would look too bling for a work holiday party but with my simple dress, it was a nice compliment. My husband who doesn't appreciate gaudy stuff really liked these. My only regret was that the earrings don't face forward enough to capture well in photos. They're a bit pricey for rental earrings, but I would rent again for a formal affair.

Good causal dress in a nice navy blue.
It doesn't have much shape to it but somehow it is much cuter and flattering than the other summer dresses without a waist. It's not transparent and the material is comfortably light.

It looks like the model picture in person, but it was far less cute than I hoped it to be.
There is little shape to this dress. If it fit closer to the waist, and the material were lighter, I think it could have been a lot more flattering.

They're so comfy but they look so nice!
The fit was nice, the material nicer than I expected, and it paired well with basically anything. I'm renting again this week.

Looks just like the model picture
I love this dress. I wore it for my Cinco De Mayo party. It's flowy and feminine. I have a small bust, but this dress was flattering. I wonder if there are more wrap dresses, because this is my favorite non-formal dress from RTR.

Pink Nieves Wrap Dress
Diane von Furstenberg
Size Worn: 4
Usual Size: 6

Though it's pretty, I returned it.
This was the primary dress I ordered for a Gala. I was looking for a classy, black, floor length gown. After a lot of searching I decided on this one. Last minute I ordered the Mila gown as a backup. After trying them both on, the Mila gown definitely fit and looked better, this one just wasn't quite right. I wanted the sleeves on this dress to stay low on my shoulders but they quickly climb up on top of them. The whole dress is stretchy and subtly rouched. The stretchy material makes the mermaid bottom easier to walk in, but not as easy as my alternative dress. The long length is appropriate in 4 inch heels and at 5'7.5".

Classy without being gaudy
I had to return a my full order which included these earrings so I did not get to wear them to my event, but I wish I could have. They are beautiful. They're light, classy, and stand out just enough. I will definitely order them again, and next time I'll actually wear them. ;)

I wish I took more pictures in this dress!
With 4 inch heels, the dress barely hovered over the ground; the 4L length could not have been more perfect for me at 5'7.5". The fit was perfect. I'm small chested, and regular everywhere else. Aside from my wedding, this is the prettiest I have ever felt. It has a polished, slimming, classy yet sexy look. I wish I took more pictures in this dress.
