took a little work but pretty dress
it’s a pretty dress. the fit was ok…i wore a 6 and the waist was a bit tight but the straps and chest were too big/roomy (and i have big boobs), so that was a bit weird. it was too low cut for me to really wear a bra, but a well placed safety pin could help. otherwise it looked very nice, well made, would recommend.

Spooky witchy sexy goodness
I wore spanx and it helped a lot, but overall it's a great fit. Lace wasn't itchy at all - comfortable! It does run a bit long - I'm 5'5" and wore 3" heels and the dress was barely above the floor. It really looks dope in person and perfect for the event (a Halloween wedding). *Note! There is a button that's kinda hard to find in the chest that helps with the cleavage! I didn't see it at first and thought I would need tape and stuff...the button makes it perfect, so just know it's there!

Super adorable dress, fits beautifully. I wish it had a snap.
It's gorgeous, tons of compliments, the sleeves are really cute. My one big complaint is that it really needs a snap. I'm no prude when it comes to showing cleavage, but I honestly felt like I was falling out of it. I used a safety pin and that worked fine and I loved wearing the dress, but there should be a snap for people who don't happen to have one on hand. At least if you have a fuller chest - maybe it's less of an issue if you have smaller boobs. But yeah, if you have a pin or something, the dress is great!

This necklace was amazing and totally completed the look. If you have a plunging neckline dress, you can't do much better than this dainty gem. It's perfect and sexy.

This dress is gorgeous. Just amazing. It's Nicole Miller so it does run small. I usually wear a 2, but I wore a 6. That said, they didn't have the 4 for me to try on and it was same day, and I think the 4 might have been perfect, but we'll never know. The 6 was roomy but still worked and looked lovely. It is revealing, but if you're looking at this dress in the first place, I assume you're ok with that - I got tons of compliments! Seriously, if you're looking for a beautiful, short, plunging neckline that also has class and character, you won't find much better. I also LOVE the necklace I rented it with https://www.renttherunway.com/shop/designers/marchesa_jewelry/dainty_detour_necklace and it was perfect.

Classy, sexy, dress to impress!
Oh man. I got so many compliments. I needed spanx for the thighs, and the band around the torsoe has no give, but this looked gorgeous. Super classy, sexy...great. I was perfectly able to dance also - the slit really helps. Not as hard to walk in as you might think. Highly recommend.

Cute dress, runs very small
This dress has ZERO give. Basically made my boobs smush flat. I usually wear a 2 but even the 4 was too small. I could zip it up, just with no stretch at all it was unflattering. Also, there are these weird snaps on the inside of the tops of the sleeves, which were super weird and uncomfortable. I had limited time so unfortunately I couldn't try out a larger size. It's possible it would have looked nice if it fit better. The style is cute. Also, for what it's worth, customer service was very helpful.

Do NOT order without trying on in the store first. The size and fit are super weird. Risky and $$$
I am reminded why in the future, I shouldn't spend $800 on something I haven't tried on. This dress is NOT easy to wear. I'm not saying that there's no one out there who looks amazing in this dress, but I usually have a fairly off-the-rack kind of body, and this was a super strange fit. First, as everyone has said, this runs TINY. I usually wear a 2, and I had to go two sizes up to even get the (really sticky) zipper closed. The fit was ok, but then the zipper in the back puckered A LOT on the upper back, so it was still totally unwearable. Thank God I had a backup (which happened to be STUNNING and was perfect in all the ways that this dress wasn't - check out the Champagne gown from Badgely Mishka. 1/8th the price, and it's way more elegant and wearable). I have no problem spending that kind of money on something that fits beautifully, and it's a beautiful dress on the rack so if you can try it on, go for it. But it is not even close to wearable enough to spend $800 blind, no matter how many sizes you get. Don't do it. I would like to add that RTR was amazing, and their customer service is outstanding. I'm thrilled with my experience, and the dress I ended up with. Just not this particular gown.

Elegant, easy to wear, sexy gown
It's gorgeous. It was my backup, and it was WAY more fabulous than my original first choice. I got compliments all night. The fit was very comfortable and I could move and sit, but it was still fitted and shaped my figure beautifully - that's good fabric. Order it. Also, RTR costumer service was awesome. They were on the phone with me for about an hour as I obsessed, and the stylist who worked with me (Jismeri) was the one who suggested this dress to me. Couldn't be happier.

New Years Eve!
The dress is really cute. In this dress, I was kind of between a 0 and 2, but I preferred the 0. It was super short, and with opaque black tights, it really looked sexy and young. I could have also worn the 2 if I had been going to a more conservative affair - more poofy, a bit longer, still very flattering. But yeah, for my style, I went with the 0 because it was shorter. Very sexy, got amazing complements all night.
