Soft and lovely
This was a lovely dress for a wedding guest. It was soft and silky, and while very thin, which was a turn off at first, I felt fine once I put spanx on just to smooth things out a little and feel less exposed. The back of the spanx showed through the back but I really didn’t care since the bow landed right there. It’s a beautiful, stand-out color. I probably could have gone down a size to 10 but it would have been slightly more form fitting, so 12R worked. My only regret is not getting a chunky necklace or something like in other photos. We googled chartreuse floral tie or something to find something lighter with green/yellow accents that looked good with it since the green is difficult to match perfectly. It was brighter in person, it photographed very olive in other renters’ photos.

Love - soft, unique
True to size - I'm a 36D, 145lbs, it fit nicely. Soft cozy material. I would have bought if it was a little less $ and eventually I think I'd overwear it. Many compliments

Unique statement earrings that really made my outfit! Not too heavy, I really don't remember thinking they were at all compared to other RTR clip ons I had. This dress is also RTR and a cute pairing.

RENT. THIS.
I'm never a small -- but I was in this. So comfortable. Arms a little tight, but nothing that kept me from wearing this twice on vacation. I wish I had a better photo than me eating tacos at a bar to show the true color and full jumper, but so worth it! I wanted to buy.

Gorgeous colors, flattering
Gorgeous colors. I'm 6, sometimes 8, and fit in a 6 but it felt too tight around the waist after a few hours (very bloated on vacation). Worked out fine, though. If I rented the 8 the straps would have been too long. Probably fine for most 6s, I carry most of my width/weight in my stomach.

Eye-catching
My guy friend complimented my earrings and called them fun, so that says enough! I loved them and wore them twice on vacation, once with an RTR dress pictured. Be aware--check the backs that they come with. Mine fell out while getting ready and I noticed they were sent with backs from a different brand that didn't quite fit. I used my own backs that worked and RTR let me exchange but something to keep in mind--you don't want to end up paying for a lost earring!

Classic, but snug
Beautiful color, nice material. Snug for someone who is usually a 6, can get away with a 4 in Donna Morgan, but it could just be my quarantine snacking

Great color, but no stretch. I'm a 6 in almost all sheath dresses, sometimes can get away with a 4, and I'm absolutely an 8 in Black Halo. Even if this one fit, it didn't help my apple-shaped body.

Great dress but a lot of work
I didn't wear simply because I wanted to swap it for something better, but it was a nice dress. Standout neckline. VERY little room to breathe and the zipper from top to bottom wasn't great. Didn't seem worth the fuss. I see how it's great for TV folks who go through dresses all the time but I wouldn't choose this for an event because it seems like a pain.

Stunning color
Gorgeous color, fairly long. Felt frumpy at first but grew to love it. Good if you're looking for a statement color and something comfortable and not wildly form-fitting. It's a LOT of fabric.

Great color, runs smaaaall
I've found Black Halo runs a size or two small. I'm a 6 in mostly every other sheath dress, sometimes can get away with a 4, and an 8 was fine, even a little tight on me, so size up for sure. The neckline and sleeves are nice and it is a beautifully made dress. Not much stretch.

Did its job
It was tight in the bust and waist for me, but I know a size up would have felt very heavy/unnecessary. Thick material and nice stitching, fairly plain but a decent option if navy is your go-to.

Standout, comfortable dress
I am bigger in the bust & stomach (145 lbs, 36DD) and it still looked good. I was able to even get away with no bra because of the fabric falling over my chest - that’s rare! The dress was long but at 5’5” I still was able to wear flat sandals. If you are my size (I typically wear size 6 dress), I’d definitely recommend if you want a beautifully colored dress and to cover part of your arms.
