Perfect for Masquerade Ball at the Embassy of Italy!
First, this dress has pockets, so I really don't need to say much more. But I will say that I'm not sure this dress was made for someone with DDs. While I didn't feel at risk of popping out, the girls were definitely out there all night. I saw someone else with the same dress who was smaller up top and the dress certainly covered more without looking baggy. It was also about an inch too long, even with my 4 inch heels. So if you're fun-sized like me and 5'2.5 or shorter, be prepared to be tripping on the dress all night. But I did really love the dress. It was perfect for the occasion and it made me feel like a princess!

The perfect balance of formal and business casual
I wore this dress for my grandmother's surprise 90th birthday brunch. It was dressy enough to look elegant, but not overly dressy for the occasion. I wore the 8 and it fit perfectly. My only slight complaint it that the top of the dress seemed to bunch up a bit, as though the inner liner wasn't quite aligned with the outside of the dress. Overall though, it was lovely and slimming.

Rented for a military "Old Hollywood Glam" Holiday Ball
This dress is simple, comfortable, and elegant. It was perfect for the "Old Hollywood Glam" theme. It is very slimming and has enough stretch in it to be comfortable. I am 5'3 and wore 3 inch heels and the 8P was the perfect length. I highly recommend renting this dress!

Unique dress perfect for a holiday party!
This was actually my backup dress that I ended up wearing when I noticed the original dress I picked had an issue. It was very tight for an 8- I should have rented the 10. However, I loved how it looked with the corset-like top and the flared skirt. Better yet, it had pockets!! It was also a bit long for my height. I'm 5'3 and wore 4 inch heels and it was still about an inch too long for me. Overall, it was a gorgeous dress and I received a lot of compliments!

Wore this to the Navy Ball- compliments all night!
I fell in love with this dress as soon as I saw it on RTR. I received compliments all night, but I was not the only woman wearing this dress at the event. In fact, I was one of 4 people wearing it, and several others recognized it from RTR. It didn't bother me, but if it's something that bothers you, just beware if you are going to an event with a lot of attendees. Also, it was very difficult to find undergarments for the dress. The back is too low for a bra and most spanx. With all of that said, I loved wearing this dress. I felt like a princess all night and it was perfect for the event! It was a great first RTR experience!
