Dress photographs beautifully
Dress photographs beautifully, however you can tell this dress has been "used". The lace is stretched and not on par with the typical quality I have received from my numerous RTR dresses. While I received many compliments in it, I was slightly underwhelmed at the overall care of the dress. It's no longer pure white but an off color that may be due to age, too much dry cleaning, etc. Because of that, the dress seemed very worn even after an hour or so of normal wear. I wore this to my bridal shower and my photos look great, just in person I was very underwhelmed. Fits true to size.

the color
Wore this to a wedding in September in 90 degree heat in Cali. The other reviewers are rights, the slip inside fits very small so i rolled that up and no one could tell since the dress balloons out. The only odd part was that whomever previously wore this must had major BO, bc the dress never really smelled all that clean. I barely sweat and even with the little dampness bc of the indoor/outdoor wedding, the BO smell started being noticeable.

the color.
This is beautifu in photos, I was uncertain of it in person though. You can tell it's been washed/dry cleaned SOOO many times that there's this sheen to the faux fur. It's not as luxurious as brand new faux fur where the individual fur actually flows in the wind/air. This is quite clumpy... but my pics looked gorg. great color too. I would only rent it again if it was brand new.

the dresss
I ordered both the 6R and 8L as I just needed an 8 or a 6 and those were the only two options available for my event, a NYE wedding. Overall the dress is gorgeous and fits true to size, the silver looks liquid-y in person. Got soooo many compliments. It's very flowy and wears nicely all night. The 8L had a nickel-sized stain on it so I did not even bother trying it on.

Did not wear as I did not like the color or length, where the midi hit. Was just not flattering on my body. Luckily, I had ordered another dress style that I ended up wearing and loving.

another dress..
Ended up not using even though this was going to be my primary dress, luckily I ordered two other styles. I could not even zip up in my normal size nor the next size up. I have a small bust so it should not have been a problem. Also did not like where the midi length hit as I felt it cut my legs and made them look choppy.

The dress..
I read the reviews and decided to order a size down. Best decision ever. Dress was extremely flattering in the shape and the material reminds me of a bandage-style dress, so extremely fitting but in a tucked & still movable kind of way. I wore with spanx for the extra oompf, and my spanx did not show. Neckline looked great and did not have the constant problem with pulling up throughout the night because I taped the dress to my strapless bra. Color is a true baby doll pink, not in a pastel way, but in a vivid true pink/pepto bismol color. In person the color was to die for. I was worried about looking like a 'barbie' with the platinum hair and pink dress... I received sooo many compliments throughout the night and felt great in the dress overall. There are no zippers, it is a true pullover style dress so be careful when first trying on, as I got some makeup and tan on it, which was not noticeable. Easy to pull up for bathroom breaks too. Highly recommend.
