Based on reviews I was expecting this dress to be a little larger fitting than it was. I ended up wearing the medium but probably could have even done the large for that more "drapey" look as on the model. I am 5'11" and 145/150 lbs and so I was it were just 2-3 inches longer, but it worked just fine for my event - a black tie charity gala. I wore kitten heels. I loved the coverage, long sleeves and full front and back, it felt right for the weather and for the event. The dress was very comfortable!

I was actually sent this dress as a mistake, the dress I ordered didn't pass the "quality check" and in the back and forth of trying to find a replacement I was accidentally sent this dress, but it was a very happy accident! I never would have picked this on my own, but the theme of the gala we went to was "disco" and this worked perfectly! The purple material was so fun, and even though I'm not usually a one-shoulder dress kind of girl, I found this to be so flattering. I did manage to wear a strapless bra, or else the material was a little too thin and unsupportive for me to go braless. The slit in the leg was just the right amount of sexy, and it was actually LONG enough for me to wear with some small heels! I was surprised at how small this dress ran, the large was snug around my ribcage!

Some of the other reviews said this dress wasn’t sheer, my nipples and I would beg to differ! You could see very clearly through this dress on me so I had to buy one of those stick-on bras and I wore a slip under the skirt. It was also a little loose at the bottom band on the top, you might want to use some tape so you don’t show any under boob if you’re planning on dancing or lifting your arms. I got a ton of compliments and felt very special in this dress. I wore it to my husband’s work gala. I am 40 years old, 5’11”, 140lbs, 36C and the medium fit perfectly.

I LOVED this jumpsuit. I've never attempted to wear a jumpsuit before so I took a chance when I ordered this and I absolutely loved it. I'm usually a size 4L but they were out, so I got the 6L and 2L and ended up wearing the 2L. It was a little tight, but the 6L was too large and I would have had to keep tugging at the top. I'm pretty tall and the length was awesome, I wore kitten heels and the pants still grazed the floor, which you need with the wide legs on this jumpsuit. It is hard to go to the restroom alone, but I managed to buckle/unbuckle and zip/unzip on my own. Didn't wear a bra and the flounce top was great modest coverage for the open neck and strappy back. I wore it to my company holiday party and received so many compliments.

I rented this for my husband's work holiday party. I'm tall, so the length was great and the open back was really nice to compliment the high-neck and sheer sleeves. I rented this dress for pretty cheap, so I'm guessing it was an older dress that had been rented many times before because the hem on the neck was ripped and the pocket was completely ripped and unusable. You couldn't tell from looking at it, so it wasn't an issue and I wore it anyway, but it was disappointing. But, it was a $30 rental so still cheaper than buying a new dress to wear once!

One of my biggest pet-peeves is dresses that are too short for me... After scouring a ton of reviews for other dresses, I ordered this dress in a 4L (my usual size) and a 6L as back-up. I ended-up wearing the 6L, it fit perfectly (if not a little snug!) and I'm not sure if the 4L really was "long" because it was about 5 inches shorter than the 6L. Another plus is that there is enough support I could go bra-less (I'm a 34D). The 6L was a perfect length for me - I'm a hair shy of 6' tall, wore flats and the dress skimmed the ground in the front and the train was beautiful. There is no way to bustle the back so it did get stepped on a few times on the dance floor, but no harm done. This dress was beautiful, showed enough skin, was form fitting, and long enough - a great choice!!

I originally rented these with the BCBG Alyse dress, which sadly did not work for me, so I wore them with the BCBG Yulia dress. The earrings went perfectly with the dress, they are more of a bronze than gold, which was nice, and they were not super, over-the-top sparkly. I did not rent these earrings expecting people to believe they were real diamonds, they are more of a casual style. If you are looking for a formal, sparkly, earring then these are not for you, but these were perfect for the outdoor wedding I wore them to.

I received this dress after originally ordering the BCBG Alyse dress, which was a gorgeous dress but it was entirely too low-cut on me (I should have known better, I had a baby 4 months ago and am breastfeeding so I am much bigger up top right now). RTR was fabulous at overnighting this dress to me and sent me both the S and M in the long length. The S fit perfectly, which I felt it ran a little large, I expected the M to be the one that would fit as I am normally a size 4 or 6. The color is beautiful and was long enough for me to wear with strappy flat sandals (it would have been at that awkward mid-ankle length had I worn heels). I wore it to an outdoor wedding in the 90 degree heat and was comfortable. There is a lot of material to this dress! I kept pulling it up when I sat down so it didn't get stepped on, and there would be a big pile of orange fabric in my lap. As other reviewers have mentioned, the liner to the skirt is short so you have to be sure it stays down so you don't get a strange line across your rear. The center "belt" is elastic, which is nice because it holds its shape without being too tight while eating and dancing. I felt very pretty in this dress!
