sexy yet classy!

I wore this to a black tie optional wedding. I loved how classy this dress looks from the front, and then surprises with the sexy open back. I wore with a nu bra. The fitting was pretty much true to size, maybe a little snug in the waist. I received many compliments.

fun party dress!

I wore this dress for a night out in Atlantic city. The quality is great; thick material for the skirt and I love the lace detailing. I wore it with a black statement necklace to dress it up a bit. The fit was a bit off for me. Similar to other Sachin + Babi dresses I have rent, I found it to be a little snug in the waist, which caused me to size up to a 2. Because I went with the bigger size and I am short/smaller on top, this caused it to be a little long and a bit loose on top. I was still really happy with the look, but I think it would have been a bit 'sexier' if I would have been able to go with the smaller size. I agree with previous reviewers who say this dress is best for tall, slim girls.

cute dress, tough fit!

I normally wear a 0 and sometimes a 2 and ordered it in both sizes. The dress is very cute--the material is nice and the color is great for spring or summer. However, I was unable to wear this dress because neither size fit. The 0 fit in the top, but the bottom left me no room to move or dance--very tight! The fabric has no stretch and I could barely separate my legs. I am certainly more bottom-heavy than top heavy but am generally pretty petite. I tried the 2 and it was better on the bottom, but way too big on top. I think this dress is best for petite girls who are straight up and down.

this dress fit like a glove! great rental

I rented this dress for a summer wedding. It fit true to size and was extremely comfortable. The fabric has some give, so its good for an event where you will be dancing. The way the fabric lays in the front is extremely flattering. Because I'm short, a lot of dresses also tend to be too long, but this one was just the right length.

loved the color!

I rented this to wear out in Vegas. The color really stands out and the cut is flattering because it hides the tummy. However, as other reviewers have commented, the straps are very long and it was very droopy in the top. I found myself pulling it up all night. It would probably work better on girls with a larger bust, or some fabric tape might help.

A great basic dress

I really enjoyed this dress. I would not pay the retail $220 for it (it is a pretty simply dress with nice, but thin unstructured fabric), but at $60 from RTR it was perfect for a last minute date night outfit. The top is a little big, as some have mentioned, but I felt like it was meant to be this way. I am by no means big on top, but it wasn't too droopy on me and worked fine with the snap. I thought the loose draped silhouette was classy. The dress is also very forgiving, so its great for a night when you are planning big meal.. The color is also beautiful and would look great on any skin tone, especially with a tan.

love the sexy, playful cut

I rented this dress for a trip to Vegas. I loved the slightly edgy vibe. While it certainly shows some skin on the sides, its long enough/loose enough in the bottom that it still feels classy. The only problem is that it runs slightly big overall, so the top hung very low. Overall the dress would have looked better on me if it were slightly more fitted. Definitely opt for the size down or order a back up size. I wore it with a Nubra.

I rented this dress for a last minute cocktail event. The fit is very forgiving; I rented it knowing I would need something that would fit, given my time crunch, and this was the right dress for that. It runs pretty true to size, maybe a little narrow in the hips. I am 5'1", 105 lbs and the 0 fit perfectly, but I was swimming in the 2 (my backup size). The only thing I didn't like was the quality of the fabric, which seemed on the thing side. Maybe since this is a Milly "made for RTR" dress, the quality was not as high as other dresses I've rented. Overall though, a great dress, loved the color and very comfy.

such a unique dress!

I loved this dress; I thought the mixture of feminine and tough was really unique and the cut was a nice change from the one shoulder dresses I usually wear. The fit is a little off; it runs on the large side on top but the waist band is pretty tight. I wanted to be be comfortable so I thought about using my back up size (2) but ended up sticking with the 0 so it wouldn't be too loose up top. It seemed to stretch slightly throughout the night and was actually pretty comfortable.

love this dress...It is very nice in person, but probably not worth $550. I wore it to my boyfriends birthday, which started out at an "all you can eat" BBQ restaurant, so I knew I would need lots of room! the dress laid kind of funny against my strapless bra, so I had to take a regular bra and pin it back so the straps didn't show. It would look best with a bra that lies very flat against the chest. I am 5'1" with proportionally long-ish legs and the length was just about right with heels. might be too short for some tall girls

I received many compliments on this dress throughout the night and felt great in it.

Loved this dress! I wore it to a Semi-Formal wedding and received many compliments. The color is gorgeous and the tiers are very flattering. I was sad to return it. The one thing I would caution is that this dress has absolutely no stretch, so it limits the ability to move/dance a little bit. I went with my normal size, but girls who are a little curvier might want to size up.
