Loved it!
I was nervous about not being able to wear a bra but the straps and tie back kept everything secure. So fun and flowy, I got so many compliments and felt super confident!

The weird fit is real
super cute but I am a B cup, so the bust and straps were crazy loose

low rent slade
I was thrilled to see this available on RTR because I had been considering purchasing it, and the fit and shape were dead on, but the material was much thinner than the actual jacket. Cute though!

Magic Dust(er)
This looked great on me, it looked great on my busty little sister, it looked great on my apple-shaped mom, it looked great on my elfin mother-in-law. It is fun and sparkly (without being flashy!) and can be dressed up or down; I cannot conceive of an event this duster would not be welcome at.

Good conference blazer
Comfortable with great pockets, this was a versatile blazer for a multiday conference - I wore it with navy and black ensembles.

Cute and flattering!
Don't be intimidated by the cutouts! As everyone has noted, they are in the most flattering location possible and appropriate for (almost) any event. I wore a regular nude bra and it was invisible.

Good quality, not for the broad shouldered
This dress was a lovely heavy material, but the cut made my shoulders and upper chest look super broad. I’m a 32B and fairly active but not that big shouldered. Ended up not wearing it but it would be absolutely appropriate for work.

Size up for professional wear, TTS for date night
This fit like a surgical glove. Incredibly flattering (agree with someone else comparing it to shapewear) but a little too sleek for a professional event. I think if I went one size up it would still fit as intended and be more appropriate in formal settings. The neckline is *chef's kiss*.

Fun and floaty, probably best for taller gals
I wore this to a work conference with tall boots and got compliments on how trend it was; I'm just not sure it's the trend for someone under 5'8". Very comfortable and prefect fall colors; I was even able to bike in it.

beautifully structured
This dress fit like a glove (a glove I needed someone to zip me into); the crop top effect of the black upper was cut at a beautifully flattering level. The green is lovely but the material is actually a little heavier, more a fall dress - otherwise this probably wound have won for the Caribbean wedding I was heading to. Would definitely consider for another event; my husband liked it quite a bit and described it as "very visually interesting" (high praise coming from an engineer!).

pretty but not flattering on me :/
The fabric was gorgeous and had a lovely flow, but unfortunately this did flatter me at all. I'm pretty straight up and down with a small bust and this ended up more trapeze than shift/A-line; the profile was particularly egregious.

Cute but professional
The fabric and lace overlay of this dress are lovely, and I got several compliments. The fit seems to run a little large; I might try going a size down next time (I didn't have the option for a backup size in Unlimited) but my movements might be a little restricted as the fabric doesn't have much give. The flounce does make your backside look cute :) Of note! Those side panels are sheer, which I didn't appreciate on the model picture. I didn't need a bra (well structured dress, minimally endowed myself) but ended up wearing a regular nude one and it really wasn't visible without close inspection.
