lots of skin!
not for full busts unless you are going for an ultra-revealing look. it was too much boobage and legs to wear to my boss's wedding. you can't wear a bra due to the low cut in front (which extends down below the bra line) and the back which is very low. i ordered this as my back up without reading the reviews...

pretty and sparkly
but it was so big on top it actually broke off early in the reception when i went to give someone a hug. i remember feeling a tug on the ring but it wasn't enough to warrant further investigating. later, i looked down and it was gone! all that remained was the rather cheap band around my finger. i am so glad i purchased insurance!

i received so many compliments on this dress even though it gave me a horrible double-boob.
this dress color is beautiful! it is not for the fuller-of-chest. i had to tape my boobs as flat as possible and i still had a double-boob due to the horizontal tailoring of the dress. it is heavy weight and it was warm and humid out. wear for something cooler or if you're staying indoors in AC. also, we went dancing afterwards and i had to lift up the back (SO MUCH fabric) and put it on a chair and dance in place.

Clip ons :(
I did not realize these were clip ons and one of them would not clasp my ear lobe.

It squeezes your wrist pretty well and doesn't sit on your arm but rather in the small space between your wrist bone and your hand. It's shiny tho!

Has a lot of points that snag on any fabrics that aren't really smooth. Had to take it off halfway through the night as I was tired of untangling it from my dress.

Gorgeous color!!
A very bright purple with a see-thru black layer (of chiffon?) over the top that tones it down. However, make sure to wear a very smooth bracelet as mine kept snagging. Very full skirt, lots of material. I have every confidence that had I received the 2R that I wanted, I would have had a better experience wearing this dress. However, the girl who had it before me destroyed it and they could only send me the backup size of 4L. It was too long and I constantly had to move fabric around, walking, sitting and especially dancing. The top made my bust look wide but I think the correct size would've looked better. PS it has sheer side panels so wear a black or nude bra.

Constant compliments!!
I felt like I was wearing the women's version of a tuxedo. Fit like a glove. Bra made my cleavage pop out so I chose to free-boob it and did not regret my decision. Perfect length. It's not as dark black as the photo on RTR.

I wish I owned this!
I was stopped by random people all night, including going the wrong way on the escalator, to tell me how beautiful this dress was! Made of jersey, it is extremely comfortable. True to size. Wore the Braza sticky bra recommended by RTR and it made everything perfect. Meaning it kept my boobs perky and in place and kept the dress from falling open. The dress was probably a half inch too long and I was wearing 4 inch heels but it made me feel like Princess Kate anyway!

Perfect! Wore with an Issa plunging blue wrap dress and it made my boobs perky and kept the dress in place
unable to wear
i liked the cuff but none of my RTR accessories matched each other. i ended up wearing my own.

gorgeous!
i ended up going with my backup option instead of wearing this dress for several reasons. 1) it was pouring rain and i didn't want to fight the bottom of the dress and puddles. 2) it is mermaid-style and i could only take half steps in it, not good for wedding dancing. 3) it was pretty roomy in the stomach which is going for hiding your "food baby" after gorging on wedding food and cake, but i sorta felt 2 mos pregnant in it.

so fun!
this was my backup dress option which i didn't end up using as my first option was so pretty and fit so well. a strapless bra is definitely needed (not worn in photo) to fill out the top and the dress is not flattering without the belt. but the belt has been used and abused and is scratched up, which is easily noticed when taking the belt out of the bag, but once the belt is on the dress, you don't notice how beat up it is. perfect party dress. i couldn't stop twirling in it, the dress twirls straight out! but has a liner underneath that stays down so you don't show your underwear.

mystery bling! i was totally surprised! i did not know what to expect and was hoping that the accessories weren't TOO gold for me. these have almost a white gold appearance and the big crystals gave them an overall "silver" look. perfect.

gorgeous!!!! so many compliments!!!!! i would never have thought of this color if i was buying one
after reading the reviews, i got the long in a size up from what i regularly wore and it was PERFECT! i wore ~4 in heels with about a half inch platform and the dress was just the tiniest bit long (ended up tearing the hem, not dancing or walking but getting up from a chair--thank goodness for insurance!). it flows so nicely and the back is very pretty. no bra necessary: the dress only has bust pads (not built in cups) but it is tight enough to be supportive. this dress is very figure flattering!
