Beautiful but Forgettable.
I chose this dress to wear at my wedding as a second dress change but I did not end up wearing it Although the color and material are elegant, the cut does nothing for this dress. I have a fuller bust already and this just magnified it and not in a flattering/sexy way. It just made me look REALLY top heavy. Overall, a beautiful dress just NOT on me.

Golden and Gorgeous
I didn't end up wearing this dress for the intended event but when I tried it on, it was absolutely beautiful. It fits true to size, it's a little long in length but I'm only 5'2 so most dresses are longer if they are not petite. I can't really give a detailed review since I didn't spend more than 10 minutes in the dress but it was very flattering and definitely gave a nice hourglass shape.

Lady in Red
Now, let me just say this dress was something really special. I've rented a few dresses before from RTR but this dress has by far been my favorite. I wore this as my second dress change at my wedding. Not only was it stunning but it was great to dance in. Since it was so fitted up top there was no need for a bra, which is strange for me because I'm a bit busty and not wearing a bra is never an option, ever. I didn't feel uncomfortable or any sort of sagging but there wasn't any tight-I can't breathe-compression either. It was perfect. I got so many compliments!!!! I felt like a million dollars. This dress couldn't be more flattering or perfect. If you are considering this dress, go for it! YOU SHOULD. It does run small, so definitely go a size up.

Gold Glamour!
This dress was absolutely fantastic. I wore it on my last night in Vegas for my Bachleorette party. It has the perfect length and shine that say, "sexy but classy." I wanted something to reflect fun without being too much, I mean, come on! I'm getting married. The fit was perfect and it was completely comfortable. In the city that sparkles at night this was the only dress to match.

Disappointed.
I honestly wanted to love this dress. I'm 5'2, 130lbs and fairly busty. This dress was extremely tight and very unflattering. The weird part was that is was loose on the bust and hips but tight on the waist. These are usually not the problems I encounter. This dress threw me into a crisis because I usually fit into a medium/large without any difficulty. This dress came so highly recommended based on the reviews. You can try it but it literally did nothing for me, except bum me out. The lines on this dress are weird too. You can't tell from the picture but there is design within the lace that makes it look like you are sporting a g-string in the back.

The Classic Modern
I wore this dress for my company Christmas party and it was it a hit. Not only did I stand out but I was work appropriate. This dress appears short but since I'm 5'2 it fell right above the knee. It has such an elegant design but just enough sparkle without looking tacky. I ordered an 8 and a 10 for back up. I'm a little bit bustier so the 8 did not fit at all but the 10 was absolutely perfect. I can't recommend this dress enough. I wore it with simple black pumps and clutch, gold ball stud earrings and red lipstick. Classic without looking old.

Perfect accessory!.
I wore this with the geometric sheath dress. What a perfect combination. I also loved that it came with a shoulder strap which gave you the option of either a purse or clutch.

Flirty but sophisticated!
I ordered a size 8 and a 10 because I am a bit on the bustier side. They both fit fine but the 8 was more fitted to my body so I chose to wear that one instead. I was attending a formal party for my Boss. My dress was a hit! I got so many compliments!!! I had several co-workers say that I was the best dressed at the party. The dress fell right above the knee and the V wasn't revealing enough to be inappropriate for a work-party environment. One review said the bottom of the dress made it hard to walk. I did not experience this problem. The only time it was uncomfortable was getting in and out of the car. Other than that the dress was great while I walked up stairs, down stairs, sitting, and general walking around. I highly recommend this dress. It also looks expensive when you're wearing. I was sort of worried I'd look cheap because of the sequin look. NOT AT ALL. Again, Fantastic.
