Gorgeous dress, perfect style for a formal wedding. Nursing friendly!
This dress is a great length - I was able to wear it with flats at 5'1" (long but doable). I hoped I wouldn't need to wear a camisole but the V was too deep and I supplemented with a black cami. It appears the V in the plus size is larger than in the regular sizes. The color is to die for rich purple and indigo. I needed something relatively nursing friendly for this wedding (6 mos. PP) and this dress fit the bill! I styled with a leather jacket and felt great!

Cute comfortable, hard to see the details
This dress is SO comfortable and flirty! I loved the big skirt. Since it's black on black it is a little hard to see all the details, but it was perfect for date night in Vegas!

Great dress - comfortable & versatile!
This dress is great. I rented it to wear to present at a conference in Vegas. It was a little tight on me, but I might have ordered the wrong size (when in doubt, size up). There is a dashed pinstripe in addition to the pattern. I felt like it worked for the professional event but also would be great for a summer wedding or shower.

Wore this to my courthouse wedding. Was the perfect extra to make me a bride that day!
I wore this to legally marry my husband at the courthouse. Ultimately, I didn't give it 5 stars, because it took a fair amount of finagling to find a configuration that looked flattering. I was never able to make it work like the photo.

I got married at the courthouse in this dress!
My husband and I got legally married at the courthouse prior to our big party wedding. I wore this dress and it was perfect for a Saturday AM wedding at court. I opted for the smaller of the two sizes and felt like it was perfect for the occasion. I styled it with a fascinator from RTR, opal earrings, and bright blue shoes as my "something blue." Not a great photo but is the best one of the fit of the dress.

Wore this dress to my brother's daytime City Hall wedding.
This dress fit perfectly into the color scheme for my brother's daytime City Hall wedding. The fabric was a little odd - not quite neoprene fairly heavy. The weather was quite chilly so the weight of the fabric was no problem. I think if the dress had a little more structure/shape, it would be more flattering. I was 2 months post partum so I didn't have too many expectations of how my body would look. It was very comfortable. I styled this with navy wedges, a fuschia clutch and a baby in the world's most adorable IZOD formal wear.

Wore this to a fun and funky evening wedding.
This dress is incredibly flattering - I styled with navy wedges, simple gold pendant and bright pink lip. To be honest, it looks much better in photos than in person. The fabric comes off more home spun than elegant, but in photos it is a knock out! It was comfortable and ran a bit big. One of the sizes I got had a sash, the other did not. I thought it looked much better with the sash. I wore a nude bra underneath and didn't think too much about whether or not my bra straps were visible - they certainly aren't noticeable in photos.

This was sent to me because the back up size of the style I ordered was unavailable.
This was a substitute for the backup size of the Kay Unger Jazz Club Sheath I ordered to wear to my Roaring 20's bridal shower. Despite being a size up from what I normally wear, this dress fit snug. I did not like this dress at all.

I wore this dress to my Roaring 20's themed Bridal Shower.
This dress was in rough shape (several beads were hanging by a thread) and it was huge, but I didn't have a backup plan for my bridal shower so I made it work. It's worth noting that the dress is entirely separate from the sheath/slip underneath. In hindsight, I should have contacted RTR immediately - now I know what to do. I think the dress would have been more flattering if it hadn't been so big. It was modern and yet fit the theme perfectly and it photographed beautifully.
