This dress was beyond beautiful. It had great textures, great cleavage without being in your face; the colors were super flattering too. I was so bummed I couldn't wear it - plus it was my back up dress when my first-choice dress failed too because of fit issues. It looked like it would be great for pear shapes, but there was no room in the waist or butt. I probably would have needed a size 8 and then tailor up the top, which of course you can't do. The size 4 was even a little roomier on top than I'd want. Definitely for the narrow-bodied.

You really need a simple dress with a deep V for this one. Very specific. It was a little too much for me.

I didn't end up wearing this dress. While I had wanted a fun dress for a friend's wedding, I just felt way too exposed and like the look was better for an 18-year old. The dress is a faux knit, felt like polyester and not at all luxurious. Because of the stretch, the skirt constantly felt too short and in need of being pulled down. I was really excited to wear a cutout dress (I did love the huge cutouts in the back), but the flimsy fabric and shortness just didn't feel right.

Really loved these earrings. If one wore all black, they would stand out and make a great statement (the bottom rock is rough in texture while the top is round and smooth). With a patterned dress, they just added a simple, quirky kick. For someone with a small face, these are the right size for "big" earrings.

The fit was a little off. It's the type of dress one would typically tailor, but it was still very nice. It bunched a bit in the wait because it needed to be smaller in the waist and probably a little bit larger in the hips - that's a pear shape for ya. I didn't wear a bra, and while it wasn't necessary, I'm sure cleavage from a push up would have added an extra oomph factor. Because of the chest cut on this dress, the bra needs to be a little lower and one should be wary of skin bulge from an overflowing cup or a too tight band. I paired it with gold jewelry and pinkish nude heels.

The biggest design flaw with this dress is the waist band. They should have let it out a quarter of an inch - granted I have a large ribcage for my size. The 2R was the perfect length for flats; the 4R was the perfect length for four inch heels. Be aware, there's a hint of a train on this dress so the hem is going to touch the floor a teensy bit - unless you want a peekaboo look in the front. The 4R, while still a teensy bit tight in the waist (but manageable- I didn't feel the tightness after an hour in the dres), was loose above the waist. I have a smaller chest and chose to not wear a bra, so it may be that it works better when a strapless bra is worn (and thus the cup size is enhanced a bit). So, minor fit issues, but for one night I'm not going to be picky. Tons of compliments and I loved the color. May have recruited a few people to RTR.

For anyone who doesn't like dealing with dangly earrings and statement necklaces, this is the clutch for you. It stayed put on my very tiny wrists and I didn't have ears that hurt or a necklace tangling my hair all night. I wore it with a print (the Issa Oahu Flower Maxi), small gold studs and simple gold flats. Worked great and I was the only one not changing shoes or taking off jewelry before the night was over.

The earrings were bigger than I expected, which made them heavier than I expected. I loved the color - they'd look great with a neutral outfit. They just didn't work for my small face and shoulder length hair.

I have very tiny wrists, and this cuff was just way too large. Unfortunately, it's not an easy one to tighten. I rented the Kendra Scott Gold Sanskrit Cuff too, and that one fit so much better - stayed put all night. Shame, this cuff is very nice - the simplicity is far more my taste.
