Delightful
Not a great photo of the earring, but these were really nice to wear. No ear hole fatigue. They moved well with all my “the music is really loud so I’m nodding and shaking my head with extra enthusiasm to communicate”, dance floor moves, etc. I think they even sparkled.

Great neckline, great back line.
I'm 5'5", 36-31-41. This dress does not have stretch. The size 6 fit juuust right. I wore flats and did not step on the back hem. It is beautifully flowy without adding bulk or weight to my frame and did not make me look pear-shaped.

Light-weight, unique, classy
These were beautiful at the rehearsal dinner. They upgraded a very simple outfit with just enough interest. They are light-weight, the feathers were in great condition.

Thick, securing fabric, good construction, nice pattern
I didn't wear this dress, it had a snag in the latticework right at my shoulder. I also did not care for this STYLE of dress on my body type. It accentuated my pear-shape, my hip dips were made to look like an extra "hour in the glass" as it were, and the flare hit lower on me so I looked knock-kneed. HOWEVER, the construction (besides the snag) was really nice. The fabric held its shape well, and I like how I felt in it. The color was very saturated; I found it lovely. 36-31-41

I loved these. The colors worked really well together and with my green outfit. They were perfect for the formal dinner I wore them for and are unique without being obnoxious or painful.

Runs narrow across shoulders
I am usually a 2 in dresses but I must have wide shoulders because wearing a 6 the neckline was forced into a wider V than what was flattering on me- it accentuated the wideness of my shoulders. Everything else fit fine at a size 6 so I'd say it may run small with no stretch.

No stretch
I marked this as running small because there is no grace given with this jumpsuit. I'm a 2 or a 4 depending on brands but this is a smallish 2 due to the lack of stretch. That being said- I love this jumpsuit and would take the plunge to purchase if it were still in production.

Stunning, classy
I loved wearing this for a "Bling in the New Year" party at a local brewery. It stood out as a super classy and sexy ensemble with simple earrings and black gold embellished pointy toe pumps. I was able to eat, drink, dance, and be merry all night/morning. I don't remember it being scratchy, but there were some flaws in the sequins. The texture helped to camouflage some figure issues I have in the tummy area.

Comfortable, classy, fun
I found this dress to be comfortable, fitting true to size. I wear between a S and XS, the XS was impossible to zip over my rib cage (~29"). The V came just to the end of my breast plate, the length hit me about mid-thigh (I'm 5'4.75"). I wore this for a wedding dress rehearsal as a bride's maid. When sitting at the dinner I wished I had taped the neckline down as it gaped if I slouched or turned my upper body without care. This didn't bother me- accidents happen, but perhaps scandalized the MOB (I didn't wear a bra). ;) Too much of the lace had frayed where it wasn't designed to, had balled up or torn. I tried putting the dress under a towel and lightly ironing some of the messy fringe down; didn't work well. I felt a little trashy knowing these issues existed and still wearing the dress, but I don't think anyone noticed but it was disappointing. I've found this problem with RTR's dresses more frequently.

sparkle
Love that these are large but not gaudy. The cluster of stones at the earlobe catch the light and the huge drop stone is just fun. The large stone part was a bit more dull than I though it would be. (and I most certainly did not wear the necklace and earrings out together. oi.)

beautiful open back
Had I worn this dress it would have been for the open back. I am a sucker for a sexy back-showing dress. The lace just wasn't quite elegant enough. The dress was just a tad big so I should have ordered my usual size. A total plus was that I could wear a normal strapless bra with this dress.

short!
This dress just wasn't quite for me. I ordered a size too small and it wasn't long enough to cover the top of my stockings. It felt fantastic tho, the fabric is very soft and over all it was comfortable, just wish I had ordered a Medium.

very nice red
These are pretty darn large. I loved them for that tho. I couldn't wear a necklace or bracelet so these were the perfect statement piece. The clip aspect was painful after a couple of hours- I have pierced ears if that makes a difference. They worked for what i needed them for.

Gorgeous!
Wore this dress to a post-Christmas evening wedding. The fit was perfection. The look was sophistication. I felt so amazingly amazing in this dress. I certainly had to behave lady-like in it because there is no give. The only reason for docking a star is that it was obvious to me that someone a bit too large for the dress had worn it previously. There was a bit of a pooch in the mid section and the zipper was a bit off. It kept catching on itself, I don't think it will last much longer before needing repair. Only I noticed so not too bad.

beautiful color and forgiving drape
Very forgiving dress. When I say it runs large I mean that it was a little gapey on me in the chest. I ordered it as a back up dress and chose 0L to compensate for nearly 5" heels bringing my height to 5'10". The dress was a tiny bit long. Had I worn it I would have used hem tape in the front to shorten it a half-inch. Ordering it long changed the proportions of it, however. I don't think the ruching on the zipper hit my bum in quite the right spot. I love the color, the feel of the fabric, the drape, the asymmetrical neck/straps.

Holy cow.
I L O V E this necklace. It was brilliant with the Carlos Miele 'In a Bind' dress I rented. I wore it the day before and the day after just because it was such a perfect necklace. If I could find it somewhere I would buy it in a heartbeat.

Absolutely a stand-out yet subtle dress
The fit was strange and I should have paid closer attention- all the other women who reviewed this dress were larger breasted; I'm all but flat. I ordered the 34 &36 and the 36 was super tight- like 'gosh darn glad I have an actual waist cincher and not just Spanx' tight. However, the top fit best on the 34. If I had sized up to a 38 the chest would have been a deal breaker. I had to tape the whole top to my bra as it was. I also had to fix the cups because for some reason they aren't sewn in, they're free fallin between the chest lining and the dress so they were all balled up in both dresses. Lumpy boobs are not flattering on anyone. BUT after all the prep work to get the dress on I absolutely loved it. In a room full of all the other Marine Corps colors this green was magnificent. It is such a vibrant green without being neon or gaudy in any way. I wore 4.7" heels and the length was perfect.
