Beautiful color really stood out, can't wear this and be afraid to show your curves though
Dress for the bold looking to show off a bit! Dress was perfect for the occasion, color was absolutely beautiful for an outdoor summer wedding. I am very curvy in the hips and thighs so the dress was quite tight on my hips, but I am not afraid of my curves and got tons of compliments. The dress is made of thick material, so I felt like it held me in pretty well. Paired it with some floral heels and loved that you could see them through the slit. Dress made me feel beautiful, my boyfriend thought it was beautiful, and I was happy to dance the night away in it.

Perfect for a formal engagement party.
The Dress: Dress was great, though not quite as much of a "wow factor" as some other dresses I've worn from RTR. I loved the beading at the top and the back was just sexy enough to be fun but not too much for a family function. However, the material of the skirt didn't have quite the same luxe or expensive look or feeling as the rest of the dress. The Fit: I am in between an 8 and 10 and had to wear the 10 because the 8 would not fit over my chest, though I liked the way the skirt on the 8 looked. Got quite a number of compliments on the dress at the engagement party and it was perfect for a formal cocktail event on 5th Ave in NYC. The Rental: as usual RTR was on time with shipping and communicative for any concerns I had. Love RTR so much and cannot wait for an event to rent from them again.

Beautiful dress for a black tie wedding
Dress was beautiful. Material was stretchy and forgiving. I fluctuate between an 8 and 10 and the 10 fit perfectly. I am 5'7" and wore the long, but it was too long. Wish I had gotten the regular. The dress was a hit and I got compliments all night. Color was a stand out and I felt beautiful and confident all night.

Amazing dress that made me feel beautiful and was perfect for my vintage brunch!
Wore this dress to my law school graduation brunch and it was absolutely perfect. The coloring and style worked perfectly with the vintage tea party theme and I cannot even put a number on the amount of compliments I got. The fit was amazing; the built in "corset" meant no bra or shape-wear necessary! It broke my heart to mail it back, but. I would recommend this dress to anyone and everyone; this dress makes you feel feminine and beautiful the instant you put it on.

Had a great night and didn't have to worry about my backless dress!
Pros: Held me up and in all night! Stayed in place all night and didn't slip or slide, even after hours of dancing. Easy to put on, if you foliow the directions. Cons: Usually wear a C cup and the C was a bit to small. Did not cover all of my chest. Slightly painful during removal. Left a bit of residue on my chest.

Danced the night away and didn't have to worry about any wardrobe malfunctions!
I have a larger chest but had a backless dress and needed some help. Wore this tape under a nubra and it really worked. I danced the night away and the girls stayed in place the whole time. :) Just make sure you put it on the same place on both sides or you will be uneven! The only downside was that it did leave a little bit of residue on my skin, and was a tiny bit painful when I pulled it off.
