Big family wedding (so you better out-dress the cousins)
LOVED this dress! Compliments abound, as usual with RTR, but this was perfect sitting, standing, from every angle in pictures, and for dancing!

SO Chic!
I was coordinating a fundraising gala 39w pregnant and didn't feel like wearing a tent, so I turned to this FAB tuxedo blazer with black cigarette pants, a tee and heels. One of the gals in the ladies room said that I looked like a blonde Janelle Monae- best compliment of the night! Arms were snug, but I was so pregnant that my opinion shouldn't count! Hah!

Choose this one!
There isn't much give in the skirt, but it's SO fun to wear. Compliments all night! Like others said- it's not nearly as risqué as the picture makes it seem. The top is fully lined.

Didn't wear- Too short. :(
My 4L was too short, but I was told it was probably a hemming/tagging error and not that the dress runs short. I'm sad that this one went unworn because the color is SO pretty.

Easy to wear!
This was sent as a backup to my backup dress after some fit issues, and I'm so glad it worked out! The one thing I'd reiterate from previous reviews is that there is NO structure to the bust. No boning, no corseting, no additional lining. It's one layer of thinnish fabric and the lace overlay. That being said, I have even smaller boobs than Kate Hudson, so I was in the clear (with room to spare), but you'll need a low-backed strapless unless you're sporting some really excellent fake'uns.

Husband's HS Reunion #armcandy
Reunions are the worst, but this dress was the best! I was five months pregnant, so went one size up (plus some black compression hose for the rump) and the square shape of this dress was perfect. Super flattering without looking at all frumpy (or, eww, maternity). I wish we'd taken a picture because I felt like a million bucks and got compliments ALL NIGHT.

Perfect LBD for playing Hide-the-Bump!
Wore it to a wedding with black tights and statement jewelry. I was about four months pregnant and the square shape (plus some compression hose) was super flattering without looking at all frumpy! I would absolutely rent again! Classic, stylish, perfect for dancing (and eating!).

Won the night!
Fit was perfect, needed a little help with a sticky zipper. Make sure you check how the lining is sitting, especially where the materials meet. Compliments all night!

Polished Baptism
Perfect for the event, and the fit was great, but the detailing wasn't as flattering as I'd hoped. Full disclosure, I wore the dress eight weeks post-partum, so it could have just been me. :/
