Pockets!!!!
Roomy pockets well hidden in the wide skirt of the dress. I was able to comfortably carry my phone keys and even a granola bar! Only issue was that I'm a little tall and the fitted waist hit my ribs. There was no stretch.

Size up 1 or even 2 sizes
I'm usually a 4 or 6 so I ordered the S. It was very tight around the rib cage with absolutely no stretch. My replacement didn't arrive in time so I squeezed into the dress but it was uncomfortable and difficult to breathe in. Had to unzip the back halfway through the evening but I was able to tuck the sides in so it almost looked like it was supposed to be that way. Beautiful thick lace with gold trim detailing.

Earrings that make a statement.
These earrings are almost 3" long, much bigger than I had anticipated. But they are not too heavy. Wore them all day without a problem. Received many compliments!

Classy Steam-Punk Vibe
Loved loved loved this dress! So fun! It has three flounces and peek-a-boo lace that is edgy and sexy. The back is gorgeous. I'm on the taller side (6'1") so the fitted waist was actually hitting my ribs but I still wore it and had fun with it. The dress is made of quality fabric that is thick and has a little weight to it. The dress itself is just lace, but there is a black slip included. I wore this to a friend's Christmas party and then out on the town and got so many compliments!

eye-catching pattern
This was a beautiful dress with a unique pattern that sets you apart. It is made of a thick, slightly stretchy fabric that sucks everything in without revealing panty lines, etc. The only problem for me was that there is a specific place for your hips. However, I am a little taller (6'1'') and the hips didn't fit me right and ended up causing pucker at my waist where it should have been fitted. Also, perhaps because of this, the dress kept riding up every time I sat down. The dress has small straps to hold your bra strap which is a nice touch.

Elegant feel
I'm 6'1'' and the dress was just barely long enough. But the dress was thick with a little weight which helped keep the dress from riding up. I felt so glamorous and elegant! Great LBD!

flattering cut, silky material, embellished belt
This dress was very appropriate for the army graduation I wore it to. Lots of compliments! Loved the uneven cut and the flowy, silky material. The top has a unique cut as well and I wore a strapless bra to prevent bra straps from peeking out. I'm 6'1'' and the waist was a little high ( a common problem I face) and the bottom fell just above my knees. Great dress!

colorful and flirty
This dress was great for a casual evening dining out during my beach vacation. The dress is not fitted and the drop waist is not always flattering. But, the fabric is thick and silky, the colors vibrant, and there are subtle elegant details - like the pineapples at the ends of the strings. I am 6'2". I wore the S, but I also had to wear shorts underneath because it was so short.

soft, flowy, sexy...top runs very large
I normally wear a size 6. I rented the S and XS and ended up wearing the XS. The S landed at my waist better, but the top was way too big so I had to go with the XS. The top is very loose. I loved the open, sexy back, but had to be careful not to flash anyone. You might want to use fabric tape or something to keep the front secure. Loved the soft material. And pockets! Was perfect for my beach vacation.

A unique twist on the LBD.
I wore this dress to a charity fashion show. It is artsy and edgy and was perfect for the occasion. The bottom of the dress can be a little scratchy, but it was fine to wear for a few hours. True to size. I am normally a size 6 and I wore the 10R. It is stretchy so has some give.

Beautiful color and lace. Runs large. Wear a belt
This was my second choice dress, as the one I originally wanted was unavailable, however, this dress ended up being PERFECT. Beautiful sapphire blue color and lace detail. At first, the dress appears long and modest, but actually, most of the skirt is lace with just a short slip. I felt comfortable wearing it in a more professional setting - garden party networking event - while still feeling sexy. Need to wear a strapless bra. I also added a belt as the dress is not fitted at the waist. Runs large - I usually wear a size 6 and I wore the XS. This ended up being my favorite RTR dress so far!

Great color, great lace detail. May compliments. Top runs big.
This dress was a great length. I'm 6'2" and the lace bottom hit right above the knee and the slip was mid thigh. I got the M and the S as the backup. The M fit the best on the bottom, but the top was gaping. The S was a little snug on the bottom, but fit the best on top. I ended up wearing the S.
