When my original dress became unavailable, RtR sent me 3 dresses as a replacement and this was one of the dresses (Thank you Michael!) I had this dress in my Favs and was looking at it for a different occasion at the time. It was the 3rd dress that I tried on and once I did, there was no going back! It fit so perfectly everywhere, I just had to wear it. The embellished straps were a big bonus. The Ben-Amun Ella earrings that I had picked matched great as well. There is nothing bad that I have to say about this dress except that it was a tiny little hot but that might have been the result of a very crowded place that night. Material felt very comfortable and silky and it had an opening in the back of the bottom which helped. This is my 2nd rental of Raoul dresses (1st was Last Word gown) and I have to say that I've really become a big fan.

I very much agree with the previous reviewer, this dress is Audrey Hepburn style (whom I love too!) and it does hide the flaws if you have any. I'm surprised that 46 in Italian came out to be 8 because it is more of a 10. I had a bit too much room in the midsection but maybe its just the style. I still wished that I could make it smaller. I'd definitely size down in back up. I loved the slit in the back.

High quality material. I was afraid that maybe this dress wouldn't fit but I couldn't have been more wrong. It hugged me so well and I'm curvy and it wasn't too tight, with lil room to spare. I felt so beautiful in it. It reminded me of dresses that Jennifer Aniston or Gwyneth Paltrow would wear on the red carpet and its worthy of such. I love this dress so much, I didn't want to take it off that night! I love the back as well as the slit. Its a dream! I also used the reveal bra from Braza ($10 from RtR) which had plenty of double-sided tape too and few of those kept everything in place on the top. Also recommend it.

Where do I start and what to say that others haven't said already :) It was such a comfortable dress to wear because I didn't have to worry about anything other than going up and down the stairs.. Yes, you are constricted but the rest of it makes up for that I loved it and wished that I could keep it. Yes, it was long but I love long dresses. Picture was taken with no heels on and in size 10L (Thank you RtR for the back up size!). I fit in both 8L and 10L. 10L was a bit more big on top but I didn't mind. I had to take off the bra to zip up the last half inch of the 8L size. A friend said that it looked better in 8L and I liked the extra room in 10L. Fabric felt so rich and thick, I felt beautiful in it. Wish that I could rent it again just to wear it more!

This dress was sent to me as a replacement for another dress which became unavailable. I've always loved Carolina Herrera's designs but when I tried this on the first time, it wasn't love at first sight. It was itchy around the midsection so I thought that if I had to wear it to an event, it would have been a long night. Three days later just before having to send it back, I gave it another try to take a few pictures. Perhaps I had been a little too harsh on the dress before although it was still a bit itchy and only in that one place which I think had to do with fabric and where it was ending (cut). It was so classic and elegant looking like I could go to a black tie event right then and there. I'd highly recommend this dress, just maybe wear a little something to cover your midsection if needed and you won't regret it.

The color is beautiful. It hugs like a glove. Material is thicker but unlike any other that I've had. I was afraid that the length might be a bit longer but it was just right for me. It really felt great on and so comfortable but sexy. I'd highly recommend it.

It has been a while since I rented this dress but I still think about it. It is one of my favorites. I have rented 8L and 6L. Not much difference between the two sizes but 6L was a bit more fitted. I love the material! Length was perfect with 4 inch heels. Sadly, I didn't get a chance to take good or enough pictures of it. Yes, Marilyn would admire it and I wish that I could own it!

Bust: 34B

The dress is very pretty especially the color and I felt pretty in it. Material felt great. I needed few pieces of the double-sided tape to keep the top part in place from opening. Long length was perfect! I could wear flats (in the picture) with not much trouble as well as heels. You do need to be careful going up the stairs but other than that no problem. I almost wanted to sleep in it but unfortunately had to take it off after the event.

I loved this dress. I loved that it had so much material in the skirt and the warm color. I had rented it for my trip to a garden on NYE. A lot of people had stopped me to compliment it or ask what special occasion it was since no one else was dressed up and it was very cold outside. I used fashion tape for my chest (I'm a B cup and maybe it would have fit even a D). I could wear a regular bra underneath with no problem. My sandals were less than 3 inches high but for the most part never showed. Cons: I couldn't do anything about the wrinkles. My friend noticed a rather larger piece of the hem that was sewn back on it which I didn't notice before when I tried it first so I had to be even more careful not to have the same faith as someone who had worn it before me. I own about 50 dresses but I've never torn any. It hurt to mail it back because I love dresses and this was a unique dress too. I would love to wear it again if the opportunity came.
