Super cute!
Super cute dress, lightweight and POCKETS! However, I found the ribcage/bodice to be way too tight, so I was unable to wear this.

I. LOVE. THIS. DRESS.
I need to own this dress. For real. It was absolutely stunning. The fabric is substantial and the dress is lined as well. There wasn't much difference between the 14 and the 16 except length, so I went with the smaller size as the 16 was shipped to met clipped by the neckline on a pants hanger so the neckline had crimp marks in it. I will absolutely rent this dress again and pray that it goes on sale at some point so I can keep it forever.

I wish I had been able to wear this...
The dress is lovely. It has a substantial lining which kept the dress warm, which was great since I was planning on wearing it for a NYE wedding/party. The color was also great - the sequins didn't make me look like a shiny disco ball but instead gave off a lovely shimmery effect. However, due to the cowl back, the sleeves/neckline were too wide for me and the dress kept falling off both shoulders. It does have some rubber strips sewn into the shoulders which should have helped keep it up, but the dress was just too loose. I probably could have sized down to a 16, but chose to wear something out of my closet instead.

Le sigh.
Love, love, love this dress! I got so many compliments on it - it wasn't too heavy or warm and I wore this to an outdoor wedding. It is definitely fitted through the ribcage, but had plenty of room in the hips. I was able to wear a strapless bra with no worries about it showing in the back. The front V is LOW, but not distasteful. The best thing about this? POCKETS. I hated to wrap this up this morning to ship back to RTR. I rented this one and the 20 as a back up and ended up wearing the 18. The 20 was more comfortable through the ribcage as this dress is fitted, but it was too loose around the bust and through the shoulder straps, so I went with the smaller size.

Gorge!
This bracelet is gorgeous. Lots of sparkle, which added to the dress I wore. It's a stretchy bracelet as well, so it fit both of my wrists and I wasn't worried about it falling off.

Gorgeous earrings!
These earrings are gorgeous, although quite large. I was going to wear them to a formal dinner; however they kept slipping off my ears and I was afraid of losing one. Also, I have short hair and they just didn't quite look right. Ultimately, I didn't wear them.

Stunning earrings completed my outfit
These earrings were absolutely amazing! I wore them for a black tie optional wedding and got so many compliments - even from men in attendance! They definitely made a statement and were the perfect accessory for my gown.

Part of an At Home Try On
I tried this dress in both nay and the red and in both the regular and long lengths. The long was much too long for my 5'6 frame, even if I had worn 4 inch heels. I would definitely have gotten this in the regular length. I'm also short-waisted, so it didn't fit well from the shoulder to the waist. If I was able to buy it however, I would and have it tailored. One of my favorites!

Love, love, love this dress! It was a stunning deep, navy blue with such an interesting open back. The only issue I had was that I would have had to alter the back - the keyhole opening didn't lay flat. Gorgeous, none the less!

Holy disco ball! I don't know where I would have worn this - maybe a holiday party? It was just too much for me, although the elongated bodice was flattering.

What an easy, fun process!
Since I have never used RTR before, I wanted to try on a few dresses in different sizes and lengths before I committed to renting something for a black tie event.

Gorgeous color. Because I am short-waisted, the length from the shoulder to the waist was a bit too long and the zipper on the side of the dress wouldn't lay flat. There was also some extra room in the bust.

This will show off your curves whether you like it or not. Out of all of the dresses I tried on, this one probably fit the best; however it called attention to my chest and I wasn't really comfortable flaunting everything.

I got this as part of my At Home Try On
Gorgeous color; however the draping at the hips really accentuated an area of my body I didn't wan to call attention to. The zipper is also incredibly difficult to get up due to one of the seams in the back and the thickness of the fabric.

This was part of an At Home Try On
I ordered the dress in a 16; however received it in a 14 and it would have been much too tight around my ribcage. I don't know if the 16 would have been big enough either; however it was a gorgeous emerald color and I loved the fabric. If I had gotten it in the correct size, it would have been a top choice for me. I also like that it comes in different colors.

The dress is gorgeous! It doesn't have a defined waist line so it didn't do much for my shape at all. However it was comfortable.
