Beautiful but didn't work for me.
I couldn't get these in my ears. Not sure if it was the angle or width of the posts.

Stunning dress worn to an elegant restaurant. Strangers will stop you tell you gorgeous you look!
I thought it ran just a tad small. Please realize that the back is not lined, so be prepared to wear a special backless bra or to go without. This is snug in the bust and the bust lining is narrow; I'm not sure how comfortable or flattering this will be if you have a large bust. The collar is high and sometimes pulls tight against your neck a little when you sit. I personally loathe the whole "naked dress" fad but this dress artfully covers and reveals parts of your body in a flattering and elegant way. I would wear this again. It made me feel great.

Holly GoKaraoke!
I was looking for a fun little dress to wear to a karaoke bachelorette party. Usually, I shy away from wearing black because it can look a little severe with my complexion and hair color, but I loved the playful shape of this dress. I wore it with a statement necklace (also RTR), tight weave nude fishnets and gold heels. I felt like a modern Holly Golightly out on the town.

I didn't want to send it back!
This is a beautiful statement necklace that I used to dress up a simple LBD. I often stay away from black dresses because I think they look a bit severe with my pale skin and dark hair. This warmed things up just the right amount. I like the necklace so much I felt bad about having to send it back to RTR.

Daring But Difficult
This dress is quite clever with its peek-a-boo cut outs but ultimately a little difficult to wear. It's a bit of a tangle of strategically sewn fabric up top and it took me several minutes to figure out what goes wear when trying it on. Once on, it is incredibly sexy. Bring the fashion tape as you don't want the fabric shifting around. Also, the slit is super high -- you'll be showing more leg than Angelina Jolie on the Oscar stage, which is fine as long as you love your thighs. This was an alternate dress that I selected from RTR when the dress I ordered originally became unavailable in one of the sizes I ordered. Ultimately, I ended up wearing the different style which was much more comfortable, wearable and flattering.

Perfect bag to pair with a cocktail dress. Loved the deco like style of it.

Very Chic Dress with Wow Factor
This dress is very dramatic, richer in color that it appears on screen, and different from your typical cocktail dress. I wore it to a late summer wedding in Brooklyn and received tons of compliments. It was even comfortable to wear while dancing. Undergarments are a challenge -- you'll need a backless NuBra or you'll have to go without. Though the dress shows a lot of skin, I never worried about accidentally showing too much because the fit was great. You'll need to steam the dress as it wrinkles easily. I felt the gold chain halter made additional jewelry unnecessary and paired the dress with simple gold sandals and a clutch from RTR. All in all, I loved that dress and felt fantastic wearing it.
