Gorgeous and Sophisticated
I wore this to a winter formal for my local bar association. This dress is a stunner. The fit was fabulous and I received so many compliments. Overall the length is a little short (I wore flats - I'm 5'6") so if you want to rock a serious heel and are over about 5'3" look for the long length.

The neckline makes this dress
I wore this on a date with my fiancé for his bday dinner at the Inn at Little Washington. The dress had some stretch and was comfortable but aside from the neckline it's a little forgettable. A serviceable dress that got the job done but no wow factor hiding anywhere.

An Unexpected Success
I was attending a wedding in Chicago in November and had zero intention of wearing this dress. Unfortunately, the lace Reem Acra number that I had intended to wear fit like a glove but had a rip on the hip that made it unacceptable. RTR threw a Hail Mary pass and sent me two additional dresses (free of charge) and this was one of them. Even though it was totally out of season, this dress was a winner. The fabric is substantial enough that it didn't feel like a summer frock (and it didn't highlight every imperfection despite having a bit of sheen to the fabric) and the shape was unusual without being too showy. In a sea of navy, black, and grey this dress was a breath of fresh air. The attached photo, despite not showcasing the dress, is included for one reason: the color is accurate - this dress is not as pink/white as it looks on the model - the colors are far more saturated. And no, I don't know why I'm making that face either.

Absolutely Gorgeous
I all caps loved this dress. Alas, it didn't love me back. It fit beautifully and was very flattering to my figure but my pale November skin did this dress no favors and vice versa. If you have a darker/warm skin tone this dress is fabulous. If you, like me, have pale skin with cool undertones you will look sickly in this otherwise gorgeous dress.

Backup Dress
I'm not exactly a youngster anymore, but this dress made me feel old. The fabric was too heavy, the peplum was awkward and I neither looked nor felt my best. If you aren't (or don't feel) old enough to attend your own child's college graduation keep moving (away from this dress)

Gorgeous Dress!
I loved this dress and received a ton of compliments. Alas, the exact dress I wore, once heated up to body temp, smelled unfortunately of a previous renter's underarms. I noticed this unfortunate fact during the ceremony. I couldn't wait to get this dress off my body and my body into the shower. The dress is 5 stars. The renter who didn't apply anti-perspirant before wearing this dress is 0 stars.

I wanted to love this dress...
The top of this dress is obviously very demure but it wasn't a good look on me. While the colors were fantastic, the dress I received had been pressed incorrectly and the pleats on the skirt were uneven making it look like the skirt was pulling to one side. All in all, the fabric is beautiful but the cut wasn't right on me - the bad pressing just sealed the deal.

Perfect dress for a wedding guest who wants to steal a little thunder (but only from bridesmaids).
I wore this dress to a close friend's June wedding. I wore a size larger than my usual size not because the dress runs small but because I had put on a couple pounds from eating all of the delicious things and the hip in the size 4 was a little too snug. The dress was very well made and I received many compliments. There is some serious boning in the shoulders of the dress - you will not be doing any wild arm movements in this dress but foregoing the YMCA dance is a small price to pay to wear such a gorgeous dress.
