Compliments all day!
The fit was absolutely perfect! I was worried of it was a shift it would look too boxy on me, and would look sack-like, but it instead had a good loose fit that looked very casual and very chic. It was very well made and the color was bright and cheery without being too in your face. A lot of people complained about the material rubbing in their armpits, but I didn't have this problem. Compared to a lot of dresses today, the armpits do seem high, but aren't uncomfortable.

Thankfully it was a backup
RTR sent me this when u couldn't my backup size of my dress in addition to another dress, and thankfully my original selection fit. This dress couldn't zip up all the way and was incredibly right around my bust (and that's never a problem) it was loose right above my hips, causing my upper half to look like a rectangle. For the right body type this might work, but definitely not for me.

Showstopper
I had received this dress because the backup of my original couldn't make it, and I almost ended up wearing this one! The front did have a very deep v and I definitely wouldn't have been able to wear a standard bra, but it wasn't too much. If you if wear it, fashion tape is definitely needed for the top. The length was just an inch too short when I was wearing 4 inch heels, but if I had been wearing 3 inches the shape would've been dead on. And it will stand out!

Almost perfect...
They definitely have a nice bit of color especially when your hair is pulled back, but they are a bit heavy. I had no worries about them falling off however, and I was dancing at prom for hours. But you need to prepare yourself if you are going to wear them for that long! I wore them about 6 hours, and they did feel a little sore, but nothing that caused me to enjoy the evening any less. But they are a nice statement!

Right amount of bling for prom!
It was big without being too ridiculous, and the sizer inside allowed it to fit any finger, and the finger it's in is about a size 5 or 6. I had no worries about it falling off, and of course it was just a beautiful piece! If you have any thought of getting this, get it!

Unbelievably perfect dress
The dress fit like a glove, and fits nicely around the hips without constricting your movements too much. The length was a little long in the front when I was wearing 4 inch heels, but it didn't cause any problems as long as you held it up a little bit. The dress is truly yore beautiful in person, and the beading and embroidery is amazing! The one thing I will say is that the black cloth underneath did not cover my bra, and the back was too low to wear one. I used stick on things that just gave a little support and they worked amazingly. It definitely stood out at prom!

Good bracelet, but....
It was a bit flimsy, and I worried about it coming off constantly. But it a good quality and very cool looking.

Made the dramatic entrance I wanted!
I found the top a little too big for me, but otherwise the length and skirt were perfect! I wore 4-5 inch heels and the kept the back of the skirt off the ground and minimal problems with the length on a very crowded dance floor. I got tons of compliments on it and got to have my princess moment at prom! Will definitely use RTR again next year.

Amazing!!!
The necklace was perfect, and was even more beautiful in person. It had heft to it but was never uncomfortable and too heavy. I got several compliments on it, and would recommend it to anyone that is considering it. Get it now!!
