I tried this on but ended up wearing a more exciting dress to my event. This dress is classy, the fabric is good quality and lays nicely, and the neckline has some subtle details that look better in person. You won’t stand out in a crowd, but will fit in nicely at a formal event.

Classy, velvety dress with a deep cut halter neckline. If you’re busty, this is one saucy number! The fabric is just the right weight - thick enough to give smooth lines without being too heavy. Perfect for a spring formal event. I felt glamorous and comfortable all night long.

I typically wear a size 16 or 18, so I sized up to be on the safe side. The 18 was way too big. I had RTR send me an emergency 16, and it fit better but was still loose on top. It was so loose that the neckline gaped open, even with fashion tape. I loved the look of this dress, but my enjoyment of the evening was diminished by constantly having to adjust my dress to keep the evening PG-13 rated. This dress might work better for a more busty woman. It really is quite gorgeous, and I loved the way it looked when the tape was in place and everything lined up just right. Got lots of compliments, especially on the color. Note that the long version of this dress is *long*. I'm 5'10" and even with 3" heels, I found the dress dragging on the floor quite a bit.
