Lighter then expected
I was expecting this to me a lot heavier then they were. They were surprisingly light. I was able to wear them comfortably all night. These aren't something I was thinking of, but I got them with Mystery Bling. So I'd be up for doing Mystery Bling again

Such a flattering dress. No shape-wear needed
Bra: 36DDD Jean size 14 Height:5'9 (without shoes) I wore the 16. The 14 was just a hire tight but the 16 was great! The dress fit great it was a flattering a-line dress. Best part, I could wear a normal bra, there was a little connector on the straps of the dress for the bra straps so that they stayed together. I was concerned the pink would be too light and wash me out. But it was a good shade. They matched a pair of Michael Kores pumps I had perfectly. Would wear again

Pretty, not what I was expecting.
I expected heavier material and the straps on top of the shoulders to be purple, they're black. FYI. Material is lift weight with some stretch to it I liked the shape. I ended up not wearing it because of UPS drama I was sent a back up dress and liked it better.

Surprising. Not what I wanted but not bad
RTR grabbed this dress as a last minute "oops your back up size isn't available." There ended up being a UPS issue to follow and I ended up wearing the replacement dress. I wear a size 14 jeans and 36DDD bra. The size 14 fit pretty well. I just tried it on to see how I would like it. The ruffles aren't me, I would need shapewear but I could wear a normal bra. Material is light weight not stretchy. Might be really nice for a beach event I like the open shoulder part.

I would buy this dress
I would buy this dress. It is an absolute favorite! I did have zipper issues, they were super sticky and then it popped at a seam, the girls on the phone at RTR helped with some suggestions and it worked out. I was impressed with how heavy the fabric was. I was expecting a light and whispy lace and it turned out to be this heavy canvas lace so it stayed down and wasn't at all see through in the wrong places. the slip it came with is super short, I ended up adding my own skirt slip to it for my own comfort but it really wasn't needed. I normally don't like high necks, but this wasn't right against the neck so it worked well. I paired the dress with a pair of blue with red stitching Fluevogs shoes, and I received compliments all night. My size notes: Bra 36DDD- was not insanely tight on the chest but was flush. I don't think larger chest would fit smoothly Jean size: 14. Fit great over hips and waist.

Slightly too big but loved it
So I rented this dress in a 16 and 14. The 14 was my back up since I've been losing weight. Unfortunately, the 14 was not available last minute and I was sent other dresses to compensate. The 16 was really loose. I could have made it work but ended up going with a different dress. I loved the material and the dreamyness this dress had. Will rent this again in the future and will hopefully wear it!

Surprising how Solid this piece was
So this was not the piece I originally ordered. I had wanted a double strand of pearls. But something happened where I needed a back up. So I picked up this necklace. So I thought by looking at it, that it was going to lay flat and kind of conform to my collar. Nope. It is two solid pieces. it still sat nicely But it was definitely not what I was expecting. But Oh the complements! I might have also worn this grocery shopping because it was so amazing!

The dress fit my chest amazingly. It was tight in the hips.
So I really liked this dress. I wore the 16R. Past issues I've had with dresses is that it will fit my hips but not my chest. My chest is a 38DDD. This dress, it my chest but was really tight on my hips. So be aware this is a BodyCon dress and if you don't like your hips really tight, this might not be the dress for you.

Perfect Statement Dress
So the thing I love about sequins is that its a statement! The thing I hate about a sequins dress is that you wear it once and it sits in your closet until you can wear it again with a different group of friends because EVERYONE remembers a sequins dress, especially rose gold. I felt amazing and beautiful in this dress. I paired it with Colbalt Blue pumps and a scarf that had gold lined roses on a colbalt background. I ended up wearing the 14, there was a little side boob going on, so I tried the 16 but the zipper was stuck and would go up, So I tapped the sideboob in place and went on with my day. Many reviewers said they used a safety pin to make the dress a little more modest. I did not. I figured that if I'm going to wear sequins, I'm going to put on the push up bra and show off the girls. I had a great night full of complements.

Runs Small- Beautiful Dress
I ordered an L and XL as back up. The XL was too small I couldn't zip it and it felt like it would have been tight on my neck. If you're on the cusp of XL I would not recommend this dress. I suggest going up a size.

Beautiful Earrings, but they leave a mark
They are amazing and I love them. I got compliments all day! But after 8 hours the clip on top was painful! They left indents in my ears. I tried to show them in the pictures. Right was worse then the left.

Super small necklace- More of a choaker
Such a disappointment. The necklace needed an extension to even wear it. So unfortunately I was not able to wear it since it would not fit around my neck. Its more of a choaker then a necklace and even then, its super tight.

Perfect Dress!
I loved wearing this dress. I'm rather sad I have to return it. The fabric is light and flowy. The colors are bright and slimming. The olive is not a color I usually wear but it worked out well. Loved this dress so much!!! I usually wear a 16, so I took a chance with this dress. It's a true wrap dress so there was some forgiveness in size. I wore a 14 and it looked great. Paired with silver jewelry and nude shoes.
