Gorgeous Dress
The fit was a bit funny - I ordered a large as I’m usually a 10. The top was a little big (and I’m a 34DD), but I was able to pin it so it didn’t gape at the armpit, while the hips were a little tight, but you couldn’t tell with the draping. Overall it still looked great and was perfect for the wedding I attended.

Beautiful Pattern and Color
This was a backup dress, as the one I originally chose wasn't available. I was still very pleased with this dress - the color and pattern were beautiful, and the fit was very flattering. ETA: I ended up ordering my original dress (Badgley Mischka Flora Chiffon Gown) the next year, and I actually liked this one better.

Pretty clutch - nice size.
This easily fit my phone, rollerball, lipgloss, teasing comb, and money and cards. It was a little more champagne-y than true gold, but it looked great with my shoes and was a nice compliment to my black dress.

Basic black and VERY comfortable.
This was a nice dress. It was incredibly stretchy and comfortable, though even my 32DDDs had a little trouble keeping the top up. It looked good and was flattering, especially on my hourglass/pear-ish figure. I don't know if it was as show-stopping as the dress I rented last year (or my friend's RTR dress at the same event), but it was still a good pick.

Perfect Evening Bag!
I took this to a charity gala and auction, and it was the perfect size. The inside has built-in credit card slots, which I love when I am not carrying a full wallet. It was large enough to fit cash and cards, a checkbook, large phone, rollerball, lipgloss, and floss and not look overstuffed, but it was small enough to still be formal. I carried it as a clutch, but it does have a chain, as well.

Honestly, I felt like a million bucks, and I received so many compliments on the dress.
Two weeks later, I am still receiving compliments on how great I looked that night - totally a mood booster! I think it runs mostly true to size, but it is DEFINITELY form fitting. I really wish that I had sized up, not down, for my extra size - I didn't even take the 4R out of the bag. I was a little worried when I tried the dress (6R) on the day I received it, as i couldn't even get it over my hips stepping into the dress. A new pair of spanx though, and all was good. It also bares a fair amount of cleavage if you are well-endowed. I definitely received a lot of attention in the dress. I do think it runs a little short, as I am 5'3" and had trouble with 3" heels, as it was a little short with them.
