Gorgeous and flattering statement dress
LOVE this dress- it's super flattering and special. I'd recommend using a steamer because it wrinkles easily in transport (both from RTR and if you're packing it for a trip). I didn't notice much difference between the small and medium other than a little extra space in chest with the medium, which is why I sized up.

Super cute romper for summer days/nights
This romper is super cute. It looks a little wrinkled (so I may recommend using a steamer) but looks great on. I'd also note that while I did wear the size I usually do, it was a little bit small. I'm interested to see how a slightly larger size would have fit, so I'd recommend ordering one size up from your regular size.

Love this jumpsuit! I would say that it runs a little big- order 1 size down for backup.

Cute dress and great in pictures!
I wore this for a dinner and night out with my girlfriends. The dress was super comfortable (you can actually wear a normal bra with it which is nice) and I thought it photographed very well. The 2 and 4 fit be basically the same but I opted to wear the 4 just in case, so don't worry about sizing with this one. I really liked wearing this dress and recommend it!

Perfect party dress
I wore this dress to a birthday party and it was perfect. The dress was a little different than I expected which ended up being a good thing. First of all, it's more cotton-like than the stretch bandage material I expected (ex. a Pleasure Doing Business skirt or Herve dress) so the size 2 fit perfectly even though I was expecting to be a 4. Also, what creates the creased look is navy blue fabric -- the dress doesn't actually crease. The dress isn't too thick either, but it's forgiving in case you eat/drink a lot. I highly recommend this dress and kind of want to buy it for myself!

Very cute and great for spring
I really liked this dress--the skirt part was adorable. I didn't end up wearing the belt (which ties around you in the back) because one of the beads came off when I took it out of the bag and I didn't want more to come off and get lost. The dress was pretty tight around my chest, but unfortunately I did not get a size 6 to compare. I definitely recommend this!

Looks nothing like the model's picture
First, this dress is very thick, so I'd only recommend it for the fall/winter. It kind of felt like a thick sweater. Second, the dress in person looks nothing like the model's picture. It is essentially a black dress with glitter in the fabric--no part of it is silver whatsoever. Maybe if you take pictures with a super bright flash that flashes off the glitter it'd look lighter or if you enhance the photo in iPhoto. The pictures I took were in completely normal lighting.

Amazing statement earrings, perfect to spice up a simple dress
These are pretty big and also clip-ons, which I wasn't expecting. That being said, I LOVED them and would definitely rent them again!

So much more than a LBD
Great dress, although the top is a little tight. I wish I could've worn the size 38 but it was too small on my chest. The bigger size looked fine, though. Also, it's black but sort of a lighter black so it looked fine with black tights--perfect for cold weather.

Chic dress for winter
Wore this dress in January out in DC with black tights and black suede pumps. I liked it a lot, although I wouldn't really call it "sexy" or anything. I ordered a 0 and a 2 and wore the 0 because I wanted the skirt to be tight. If you want it to fit like that--the way it does on the model--you'll probably want to wear one size down. Otherwise, the fabric was nice and I thought it was very winter-appropriate!

My best friend loved the dress so much she rented it the next weekend and wore it exactly how I did
I rented this dress for a night out with friends in DC/Georgetown in January 2012. This dress was absolutely perfect for what I wanted-- flattering and trendy in a seasonally appropriate, classy way. I wish I had worn a big, statement necklace since black tights/heels make the outfit look a little dark, so maybe think about that ahead of time! The dress fits true to size and honestly, I didn't think it was the shortest thing ever. I highly recommend it!
