Shiny and very fun to wear
I loved this dress! I picked it on a whim and wasn't sure if it was my style. It ended up working perfectly for a formal work event in the spring. The wrap bottom can show a little too much if you aren't careful, but I didn't find this to be a problem. I wore my Spanx for smoothing with no issue.

Absolutely gorgeous dress. High quality fabric and construction and a dream to wear. The bodice is snug around the high waist, so I wore the larger of my two sizes. Sleeves can be worn up or down, I just preferred up. Wish I owned it!

Red hot stunner
This was a replacement item for a dress with a broken zipper, but I should have picked this from the beginning. WOW. It fit perfectly for a true size 8, was very comfortable and so so flattering. The front ruffle/flounce was the perfect something special. Be warned: you stand out and get compliments all night

Major earrings
These are large, as you would expect, but they worked perfectly to complement the high neckline and sequins of the Navy and Pink Shawn Sequin Sheath dress.

Sparkle on!
I loved this dress. I wore this for a black tie optional wedding in June. I was a few months postpartum, so it was snug, but it helped hold in my midsection. (So did the Spanx) The cut was flattering and the ombre effect gave it a little something special. The sequins aren't too rough, so I was comfortable sitting and dancing. Rose gold, gold, or even pink shoes would work.

Wish I could keep it!
This is the second time I have rented this dress style--the first time I rented the solid pink. This pattern is beautiful and perfect for spring/summer. The swishy fabric makes you feel beautiful but is very comfortable. I had a small baby bump here, but you could hardly even tell. The dress is accommodating for a larger chest or belly, perfect for containing or camouflaging a changing body. I would keep this dress in a heartbeat. Love it so much!

This dress delivers as the reviews say. It is beautiful, easy, and perfect for dancing all night!
I wasn't sure how much I would love this dress--but I didn't want to send it back! It was gorgeous and so easy to wear. I am a new mom and it was very forgiving to my new body and larger chest. I felt elegant yet still fun. It paired great with a chunky turquoise necklace and big heels.

Perfect match!
When I first received these earrings, I was nervous about how big they were. I didn't realize they were clip-ons when I ordered it and they were much shinier and glitzier than I normally wear. But when I put them on with the dress (Tracy Reese Charmed by You) and with my hair up, they looked amazing. it really pulled together the look. The dress has a high neckline and a low back, so it was the perfect accessory for the night. And forgive the messy hair in the photo, this was at the end of the night, but the earrings still looked fantastic!

Classy with a twist, perfect for fall/winter wedding
This dress was beautiful. I loved the thick, luxurious fabric. The blue-green metallics really popped and the fabric design was interesting and flattering. I LOVED the bow in the back. The shoulder straps do sit fairly wide on the shoulders and on me moved around a bit as I raised my arms. But the wide straps were really flattering, so I didn't mind. It was shorter than I normally wear but since the rest was pretty conservative, it worked. The dress fit true to a size six. I was worried about it being snug in the hips, but it fit wonderfully. I wore it to a fall, mountain wedding, so I paired it with sheer black hose and black pumps. I also wore the Alexis Bittar Pyrite Crystal Cave earrings. It was a real winner and I got many compliments as usual with RTR dresses!

Just the right amount of unusual, so many compliments!
I felt like a million bucks in this dress. Be warned, the bright pink print plus the luxurious metallic fabric make this dress not one for wallflowers! The cut of the dress is not one I usually wear with bigger boobs, but it was surprisingly flattering and fun to wear. I was able to wear a strapless bra, even though it was low cut in the back. Thanks to the full skirt, I was able to fit into both the 2 and the 4 that I ordered, but with a bra the 4 ended up being a better fit. We danced the night away and the dress made that easy. The wedding photographers even told me that they like to pick a favorite dress at each wedding, and this time they picked this one!

Stylish but elegant. Felt a little like Taylor Swift!
This dress is simply beautiful. It feels classy but also of the moment. Perfect for a cold, fall wedding. I loved the way the neckline laid on my skin, I had to wear my hair up to show it off. I was a little worried about the sleeves being too tight (sometimes that's a problem for me), but they fit great. There were a couple small holes, or worn spots in the lace, but I was still able to wear the dress. It is definitely more green than blue in real life. I was so sad to send it back. You won't regret renting this one!
