Back-up dress.
Fit-wise, this fit my torso and I liked the puffed out skirt, along with the clips that are in the straps (so you can wear a real bra underneath). Unfortunately, the chest didn't fit -- it was baggy around that area, so I spent the majority of the evening shifting it down. Also, it's not a dress that allows for....much eating. It'll get tight around the torso pretty quick. The color didn't do much for my skin tone, but I did get compliments (much to my surprise).

Not forgiving.
While I was able to zip this dress all the way up, it's NOT forgiving at all. And not flattering. If you have rock-hard abs, then this is the dress for you. If you're like me and have just a little extra around the stomach area, pass.

So upset that it didn't fit.
I've worn a size 10 in the Halston Heritage dresses before, so I was SURE this would fit. Sadly, I could only zip it up to mid-back level. My chest was getting in the way. And I had no luck securing a larger size in-time for my event. A shame really, the color is perfect (more coral than pink) and the shape is really flattering. I regret not ordering a size up (or two).

Holiday Party Perfection!
There are many things to love about this dress: the pockets (love 'em), the forgiveness factor (if say you don't have rock hard abs, no one will be the wiser), the fact that you don't need a strapless bra to wear it (yay for perky girls!) and the bottom part of the dress, it puffs out way more than what you're seeing on the model, therefore making it fun to wear. This is not a dress I would have picked for myself, I have the RTR stylist to thank. For me, I've gained some weight and wasn't really sure about my size or what would fit right with my body and glad I made the small investment to get styled (so worth it).
