Small cups for generous sized dress
Loved the colors and fullness of the skirt. Other reviewers sold me on the dress .. but I wish more larger chested ladies had highlighted how small the cups are. I cinched up the straps (thankfully adjustable) and used fashion tape to secure the “side cups”. Had to keep “boosting” the “girls” to keep the cup situated where it was supposed to sit. I’m a 32DDD thanks to menopause - my former 32B or C would have been perfect. Wore the 8 (not my usual 10) because it runs generous. BEAUTIFUL for a summer wedding - received many complements - but due to the boob issue 4 stars not 5.

Highly Recommend - Fantastic!
Wore to a Grand Ole Opry themed event. This dress was perfect for my pear shape. Ruffles flattering, providing right camouflage without bulk. No stretch in the dress but size 8 was perfect even for my 32DDD chest. Dress was very easy to wear and did not wrinkle packed in my luggage. Home Run!

Gorgeous color | Selected other dress
This was a second choice for a Breast Cancer gala. It was a stunning color and modest (but flattering) style. It felt a bit snug across my shoulders / chest even in the larger size 10. If I hadn't adored my other choice (strapless gown), I would have gone with this. The two dresses I received were in excellent condition and zippers worked smoothly (not always the case).

Stunning Dress .. Complements all night
This was a perfect dress for a Breast Cancer gala. Gorgeous colors and once zipped in, I did not need a bra (despite G cup!). One star off because I did not know the dress had an open back which did not allow for my sturdy strapless bra (so thankfully the size 8 worked/snug fit). On the size 8, the zipper was difficult .. have found this on other RTR items .. but nothing that couldn't be handled with another set of hands. Fantastic dress I would rent again.

Glamorous .. So Many Complements!
Love how this jumpsuit looks like a gown. The bustier fits very snuggly so even with dancing, I had no worries about any "malfunctions". The only challenge was managing bathroom breaks .. a helper is most definitely needed to unzip and rezip. I wore the size 8 (my usual size) because there is zero stretch to the fabric. Colors, satin fabric, style really a showstopper!

Amazing fit for a pear-shape
Shorts are no longer a "go to" post-50yrs and pandemic shape. However, somehow, these were magic! I even preferred the size 10 to the 12 I thought I'd have to squeeze into. Something about the proportion of shorts length to width of leg "hole" totally worked. So many complements from the chic, hip 20+yr old Miami crowd .. I felt fantastic! Wore them daytime with a white blouse and then at night paired with the matching top. Loved so much I am considering buying.

Playful and Glam at once
This top (and matching shorts) was so eye-catching and easy to wear. I got so many complements .. and from knockout young ladies at hot spots in Miami which meant A LOT to this 50+ yr old suburban Mom. The top fits very snugly so no bra needed (even as a 34 DD). I did wear the 8 rather than the 6. I was able to zip it up myself although it is helpful to have help nearby. This top looked great paired with white jeans too. Felt so glamorous and loved it so much that I'm considering buying!

Perfect for this Pear
Absolutely loved this dress which received many complements! I went down one size to a 6 from my usual 8 because of the generous flair skirt (plenty of room for a pear's hips & bootie). Even with my 34D chest, the size 6 fit perfectly up top. I thought the length hit just right, above the knee but not as short as shown in the picture online. I loved how the nude colored under-layer created an illusion of skin while actually providing coverage (and the ability to wear panty hose). The only true sheer / mesh is above the chest and upper back (though no problem wearing a strapless bra). Easy to breathe, move, eat/drink, and dance in this dress. LOVED IT!
