Lots of room for extras
This bag was roomy enough for everything I normally take with me for an event, plus a bunch of extra I can't usually fit in a clutch, but it was easy to hold in one hand while carrying a drink in the other. It was a fun accessory for a black tie costume party but would work for any formal event or just a date night. No strap though . . . but I didn't miss it.

Chic - but difficult zipper
I liked wearing this dress, it's a basic sheath with some fun elements. I believe it fits very true to size. I was afraid the peplum would emphasize my hip and abdomen area, but it laid smoothly and if anything, helped hide the troubles spots. The material is very thick. My main complaint is the zipper, it was very difficult to zip on both dresses. At the time I ordered this I was between an 8 and 10, and even on the larger size with ample extra room I could barely zip it?!? This is the second CMV dress I've had this issue with. Definitely plan on having a helper to zip into this dress.

Bright and flowy, beware of wrinkles
This was a fun and easy dress to wear. It didn't seem as short on me as it does the model and I'm of average height. It seems to fit mainly true to size, although did seem a little tight in the bust but loose in the hips on me. I would size up or down for the second size as accordingly. I had planned on packing this dress for an out of town event but it arrived fairly wrinkled and I don't believe this fabric would travel well. The wrinkles came out enough with a steamer so I could wear it out on a date before I left for my trip. Also, I think other reviews stated it showed everything underneath. It is fully lined, so I do think it's accommodating of basic undergarments, but I would recommend spanx for a sleek fit.

Not for curvy girls
I didn't end up wearing this dress. It actually has a drop waist, it not a pleated fit and flare like I assumed from the picture. Probably better for a straight and narrow type. It's a very casual fabric but a pretty color orangish red almost coral color.

Had to return without wearing - very tired frock.
The two dresses that came were very worn (a complete first for me with RTR). One was terribly pressed so the neck line was askew. But true to form RTR customer service overnighted new dresses to my hotel.

You'll fit right in (in a good way)!
I wore this to a "cocktail attire" dinner event. The cut is conservative but the fabric gives it an edge. I felt great in the dress but didn't feel like it really stood out in a sea of LBD's. It runs pretty true to size. I'm an 8-10 sometimes needing the larger size for my slightly broad shoulders and larger bust and hips. The 10 is this dress was uber roomy, so I opted for the 8 (46). It felt sexier. It did pucker across the bust because of the stretchy delicate fabric, but it didn't effect the fit anywhere else.

Did not wear
This style didn't work for my body style. It was very fitted across the bust. I was unable to raise my arms at all without the entire dress coming with it. It is a thick and stiff material, better for fall/winter.

Basic black yet fun
This is a versatile little clutch that fit well in one hand (but I believe it also had a chain strap option). It was large enough for phone, ID/cards, lip gloss and compact.

Conservative yet pretty
I wore this to a business formal dinner/event. It felt even more conservative on than it appears in the picture. It is a high quality thick fabric. I wore it with sexy shoes, long hair down with waves and as chunky necklace to keep it young, but with an updo and long earrings it would look elegant. There is a little more color in the dress when up close (blues, greens, purple?) but the sleeves are black. It is very pretty and elegant but not a stunner. I would recommend wearing a lighter colored or bright necklace to pop against the hight neckline.

Not too flashy
These earring have a presence due to size, but the color isn't very vibrant. They are a little heavy, but I wore them comfortably for five hours.

Unique Print & Easy to Wear
This dress is a classic sheath and fit true to size. While it is form fitting there was ample room for my "problem areas" on top and in the middle. Those who smaller on top may consider sizing down for their extra size. It worked well for a "cocktail chic" charity event.

love this dress
My size wasn't available so I tried the size up for my date. It was too large and I didn't end up wearing it but it is a striking dress with a lot of versatility. The pink thread is slightly metallic to give it a pop but it isn't off putting. It's still a classic sheath that would work for a lot of different occasions.

sexy yet classy
I felt this ran true to size. I also ordered a size down and almost wore it but was glad I didn't by the time I was walking through the venue to get to dinner. The dress is form fitting (with enough stretch for comfort) but when walking it did ride up a little bit.

easy to wear
This dress is cute and flirty but easy to wear. With two layers of fabric, it's fairly forgiving so spanx wasn't needed and you can wear a real bra with it - always a plus in my book! It wasn't as short on me as it appears on the model in the picture. The color combo is unique, but feels very trendy.
