Gorgeous color & back!
Loved this dress. Long enough for us tall gals! Not nearly as long as the model pic suggests though, she must be 5'4" or something. Very classy, loved the open back. Would rent again!

Elegant but modern!
Gorgeous dress. Perfect fit with being modest and modern at the same time with the exposed mesh stomach area. Will definitely rent again!

So classic!
Incredible dress. I might just have to buy this! Stretchy fabric and so comfy. I'm tall and I could wear heels! Runs a little big so size down

Fantastic but a bit shorter than I was expecting
Loved this paired with the DSquared printed floor length skirt, but it was really cropped. I was hoping for a hint of stomach, and I couldn't raise my arms or else my boobs would have popped out. Perfect for small chested ladies, or if yours are bigger, you better have a really flat stomach because it will be on display!

Wear this if you want to stand out with something no one else will have!
I wore this with the Badgley Mishka blue sequin crop top and got compliments all night! The only thing I wish it had was pockets! Fit true to size. I'm 5'10" and could wear a small 1" wedge and it was fine. Anything taller and it would not have been long enough. A great alternative to a gown!

Incredible structure and fit
This dress FEELS like it costs $2,000. Incredible boning and structure, I received compliments the whole time. It also photographs really well. It's meant to be off the shoulder, and the back is stunning but would be awkward to wear with a jacket over. Showstopper!

Very pretty color!
Unfortunately, this dress was too short for us tall ladies, even in the L version. I didn't end up wearing this dress. The color was beautiful, the back was pretty, but there is no way I could have work even a tiny heel with it. Also, because of the high neckline, I felt like my arms were trapped and I couldn't raise them very much. Too bad!

Fit like a glove!
I wore this for a client dinner where a lot of San Francisco's society would be. I wanted something that was classy but still youthful, all while staying work appropriate. I am really tall, and find most midi dresses only go to my knee. This one actually went right below and was exactly what I was hoping for! I paired it with classic black patent leather louboutins.

Incredible color, elegant, and of course, that back!
While I chose this dress for the amazing back, I ended up getting more compliments on the COLOR. It's beautiful, not quite purple, not quite blue, not quite grey, but a mix of all three! It's very form fitting so I wore Spanx underneath and because it's backless, Nippies Skin in lieu of a bra. Both the 6L and 8L fit, but the 8L had a solid extra 3/4" in length, and since I wore 3" heels, I went with the size up. The dress was still about a 1/2" too short for my liking, so I would not recommend wearing heels taller than 3" if you're 5'9" or taller. I also purchased the "mystery bling" which ended up being the necklace in the RTR stock photo, but ended up wearing my own instead, as the mystery bling necklace felt kind of cheap and didn't make quite the bold statement I was looking for. I loved the simplicity of the dress in the front but the fun ruffled back. I got so many compliments on it. It was truly a classy, elegant gown!
