Knocked it out of the ballpark!
If you're tall (I'm 5'9"), just be ready for it to be a little on the short side. Now that we got that out of the way... Wore it to a wedding in late April so the color was fantastic. Wore with my black CL heels to keep it simple. I rented the Kate Spade necklace they recommended and it added just the right amount of pizazz. So worth it. I ordered the 6 and the 8. I typically wear an 8 in almost all clothes so I felt it was a little too baggy. I realize it is a shift, but it was just too loose. Got loads and loads of compliments all night and told every single person about RTR. Couldn't have been happier with the dress, necklace and experience. What's better than not having to dry clean something? Just throw it in a bag and send it back, baby!

Perfect piece!
I rented this because it was shown with the dress I was renting. It was the PERFECT compliment. It's hard to tell what I got more compliments on, the necklace or the dress!

Next time
I ordered this dress as a back-up option. After talking to some others attending, I went with my other dress. I still wanted to review because it ran perfectly true to an 8. The top is more fitted with a nice bodice and bones to add shape. I found the dress long (I'm quite tall so keep this in mind if you're shorter) and it would be great for another wedding or occassion. The green is beautiful and I found the material to be very nice.

Sharing this moment with my fabulous sister-in-law who also rented the runway!
I recently wore this dress to a black-tie wedding. I loved this dress the moment I saw it online and the only regret I have is that the navy seemed quite dark for a summer wedding. I didn't have the same slipping problem with the strap that others seemed to experience, but I think that's because I'm pretty tall. Dress fit well, I ordered the 6 and the 8. Wore the 6 because the 8 felt a little too big. I didn't wear any shapewear/spanx. I was a little nervous about the length when I was dancing/sitting but the dress was perfect. You can see from the picture that I'm taller than average when I am posing next to my sister-in-law! I wore the dress with dressy strappy satin heels and barely any jewelery - wish I had ordered some of the suggestions from the website to add some bling. The dress has some ruching/folds in it that needed a quick steam/iron to get them more crisp from the shipping. I would absolutely order this dress for a fall/winter occassion and it would be just right.

The nonstop compliments!
The color of this dress caught my eye and I loved the back. I wore this to a black tie wedding and I received compliments all night long. I wore with silver shoes and a pair of sapphire/diamond drop earrings. I felt like I was ready for the red carpet! I'm tall so I went with the long and it was the right decision. Runs true to size (I wear between a 6/8) and the fit is so flattering. Took the picture with no makeup/accessories but had to share!
