Head turner
This is the ultimate black dress for a party. At first glance, it looks like an average form fitting black dress, but someone sees the back of the dress, you'll get stopped and complimented endlessly. The sequin circles on the sheer back make it appropriate and tasteful while showing a hint of skin. It does go pretty low, but doesn't show anything besides back. The fabric is comfortable and stretchy but very form fitting and on the thinner side. I was very tempted to buy this after wearing it to multiple holiday parties because I got so many compliments and I felt so good in it.

Beautiful dress but runs big
This is a gorgeous dress. Well constructed with beautiful fabric and details. The pattern/color is perfect for winter/fall formal events. Unfortunately I couldn't wear this because it was so large in the bodice. I normally wear 0/xs without issue (even with other marchesa dresses) but this fell off and down my chest.

Cute, but too big
The color is a unique shade of blue (hint of green, grey) and the cut/ruffles are pretty in theory. However the bust is incredibly large. Not just in a loose way, but because of the darts it sags ridiculously beyond where my chest is. Ordered a XS and its huge on the upper portion, TTS/slightly loose on bottom half

Cushnie is always a winner
Without fail, cushnie dresses just do it for me. The cuts, color, style are always on point. This one is no different. It is snug, but because the fabric is high quality, it sucks lumps in and flatters the body. The neck hole is tight, but isn't impossible getting into. I am impressed that the dress doesn't look stretched out when you take it on/off. This is a sexy dress without being overdone. Love it.

I wish I had a backup...
I've never had such a bad pick from RTR before. The fit, quality, and length were just all NOs. The fit makes no sense...the top is baggy/oddly shaped and built for someone incredibly well endowed but the stomach/hip area is tight and I barely squeezed into my normal size 0. The clasp on the neck is loose and I risked it coming apart and flashing everyone all night. The fabric feels and looks cheap and the lining was inelegant and hung out. Unfortunately I had to wear it because I had no other options. I was so uncomfortable and tried to hide behind people.

Fun and flattering
I wore this for my dance performance at an Indian wedding and it was absolutely perfect. Despite the tiers, it manages to flatter the body. It moves well and is so fun to wear. I got tons of compliments on it. It fit TTS and was not snug at all. It fell almost at the ankles on me (I'm 5'2 for reference)

Fun casual dress
this runs TTS however it is very short (not even mid thigh on me and I'm 5'2"). the fabric is a great--very light and soft. Perfect for a casual summer day

Obsessed
This dress is a total stunner. I got tons of compliments and felt elegant . It shows the right amount of skin to stay classy while being sexy. The side panels are lined but sheer so be careful with your choice of undergarments. The sleeves stay in place with no problem. I'm usually a 0 but the Australian sizing makes the 2 fit perfectly. I would totally rent this dress again.

Complimented endlessly
This dress was an emergency rescue dress to replace an ill-fitting order. It turned out to be an even better choice because I got endless compliments on the cut and color all night. It was perfect for a nice, but not formal rehearsal dinner for my friend's wedding. I've never worn Trina Turk so I cannot compare the sizing to her brand in general and the RTR store didn't have a 0 for comparison, but I normally wear a 0 and the 2 fit perfectly. The bust was a tad loose but I think if it was more fitted the fun shift look of the dress would be ruined. It was the perfect length and the material has a nice weight to it. Highly recommend!

Major Disappointment
This dress was really disappointing. I was looking forward to having a fun dress to wear to my birthday dinner, but was saddened the second I zipped this up. The top runs a size too large, leaving gaps of loose fabric along the bust/arms. Because of the cut of the back, I didn't wear a bra and with the gaps I was constantly fiddling with the top, scared I was flashing everyone in the restaurant. The skirt portion is pretty and also fit a little large, but the sizing didn't make it look completely ill-fitting, just looser than expected...it ended up being the dress' only good part. The color and cut detail comes across as just meh in real life.

Make jaws drop
The fabric of this gorgeous dress makes the fit tastefully hugging. The cut at the shoulders is fun and architectural and the back is a jaw dropper. I got so many compliments, I've never felt more beautiful. It's the perfect combination of sexy and elegant.
