Attention grabbing and surprisingly light weight. Very comfortable!

With all of my shaping undergarments my measurements are 46-39-47, bra size 38GG. I usually wear a size 16 and the 16 fit perfectly. I was able to wear a regular bra with it, and using dress tape to tape the bra to the shoulders helped make the neckline lay better. It was comfortable except for the boning inside the dress. There were a few places where these thin, white, sharp plastic pins poked through the dress lining and stabbed me in the waist. They were as sharp as exposed nails! They could have drawn blood. But I put a little double sided dress tape over the tips and I couldn't feel them when I wore the gown. Be sure to check the boning and cover any place where it sticks out, otherwise it could ruin your evening with pain. I'm 5'3" and wore basic high heels. The front of the dress skimmed my toes perfectly, but the small train in the back tripped me up walking outside when the wind blew the material against my shoes. The fabric seemed to catch easily. I felt very pretty in the dress, but I didn't love how it brought attention to my gut with the way the light reflected off the sequins. I wouldn't call it flattering to my figure, but it was a gorgeous gown.

I could not find a size chart for this designer anywhere online. In my best bra and Spanx I'm 47-38-47, bra size 38GG. The 16 was a perfect fit. There's not any stretch to the fabric, but the cut is flattering. The skirt hid my post-partum belly very well; it flares right where I'm largest. It would probably hide a small pregnancy belly well too. I never had to "suck in" and never felt chubby. Its youthful but but not ridiculous on a 33 year old mom. I felt like a co-ed again!

These earrings were wonderful! They have a slight dark green-ish hue, but it's very very faint. I wore them with smoky grey accessories to compliment the smokey grey crystals on the sleeves of my gown and they matched perfectly.The green hue would be picked up beautifully in a green gown, and will be distracted from when wearing any other color. I uploaded a pic of the earrings against my iPad to show how the green compares to black. Their size is perfect. They aren't too big as to appear cheap, but large enough to look very expensive and special. You are "aware" of their weight when you first put them on, but that "awareness" goes away soon; I wouldn't describe them as heavy nor painful. I got so many compliments wearing them, and they made me feel like a princess!

I wore the 44 (size 12), instead of the 42 (size 10). My measurements are 41-31-41, and my bra size is a 36F or 34G. On Thursday afternoon the 42 zipped up and fit fine at the waist except for the top inch or so, then my bust felt too large so I put on the 44 which had a little more bust room. But it didn't feel too large around the rest of my body and I didn't have to make any alterations to it. However after my event Saturday evening, the bust felt very roomy. The last picture shows the extra 2 inches or so. I had a body wrap across my belly earlier that day, and the effects might have shrunken my chest. I wore a 36G strapless bra, which also started to feel big by Saturday evening. My bra showed but fabric tape fixed that, and I folded the dress over the top of the bra cup and taped it under to hide it there. The shoulder strap felt a little loose, but not excessively so and didn't slip. I didn't think to put on the 42 again after I took these pictures, but I feel pretty sure it would have zipped and fit the way I wanted. I'm 5'3" but barefoot in the pics. I wore platform heels that added 5 inches to my height. At that level I felt the front of the dress grazed a little higher and exposed the toes of my shoes more than I would have liked, but not too much where it would have been an issue or caused unwanted attention. The pictures don't do the color justice. It almost glows in an amazing teal shade! The skirt of the dress moves and flows with a beautiful airy quality. I really did feel like a Grecian goddess. It provides great coverage for full busts, even though you wouldn't think it looking at the way the gown is cut. I felt elegant and gorgeous. I wore this gown for the evening gown competition in a beauty pageant. I wanted something classic but stunning in its simplicity. That's exactly what this dress is; simple but stunning!

This was my back up dress for a pageant evening gown competition and I ended up going with my other choice for that event. But if I were going somewhere where I wanted to look irresistibly sexy this is so definitely the gown I would choose again!!!! I felt like Jessica Rabbit! The gown was super comfortable, not scratchy, not heavy, very stretchy. I wore the 10, but I am 95% sure I could have fit in a size 8, for more hugging and oomph. My measurements are 41-31-41 and my bra size is a 36F or 34G; I'm 5'3" but I'm standing barefoot in the picture. With normal 3" heels the length would have worked fine. The back came a little low and exposed the top inch of the regular bra I was wearing, but I could have fixed that by changing bras, lowering the straps, or using some safety pins or hem tape. I felt covered, but sexy; it's the most flattering dress for any full bust or hourglass figure! And it sparkles and shines light reflecting off water. Its stunning!

I tried this dress as a back up dress but wore the coral Nicole Miller that looks similar to it instead. The shade of coral is more orange than red, which looked heinous on me! And my DD chest kept exposing the snap closure on the top and popping it open. The sleeves also blended with my chest drowning the shape of my bust in fabric and pulling at the fabric on the sleeves in odd ways. It felt like a lesser version of the Nicole Miller Coral Silk Wave Dress, so I would recommend choosing that dress instead if you like this look. And if you have a larger chest as well as a cool skin tone avoid this dress entirely...nothing about it will complement your shape.

I rented this as my back up dress for my 10 year high school reunion and ended up wearing it because it fit better. Usually I can't wear coral because it washes me out, but this shade has more red than orange so it looked fantastic on me. It has little hooks inside the neckline to secure your bra straps which also keeps the neckline and sleeves in place so you don't have to constantly readjust it when you move or bend over. I was able to wear a regular bra with it. Without the hooks it WILL move around and possibly show more than you intend. It was definely a unique dress and the color really popped. No one else wore anything near as lively and bright. I really did feel like a movie star! The fabric is of such a nice quality. I paired it with a sparkling pair of silver/pewter heels to compliment the neckline, and I would have matched my bag to that as well but I only packed a black and a champagne clutch, and the black took away from the dress too much. I also wore the Anton Heunis emerald drop earrings that I picked out to wear with my original green/blue dress, but the green also complimented this color so well and they didn't compete with the neckline too much since I wore my hair down. They wouldn't be my first choice to pair with the dress though. I'm so glad I trusted RTR to ensuring I looked fabulous. And they make it so easy to rent and return. I couldn't be more pleased!

I rented this to wear to my 10 year high school reunion but unfortunately I ordered the 6 and 8 and actually needed the size 10. The size 8 zipped easily until it got to my bra line then after my 36DD chest was stuffed in, it looked and felt too tight to be very flattering. I usually wear a 10 but I read that it might be cut a little large in the bust...it is not. The dress fits perfectly true to size. But the dress is beautiful!!! Both my mom and sister just couldn't stop admiring it while I was trying it on. It is even more beautiful in person than it looks on the website. If I could only buy and wear one more dress for the rest of my life, it would be this one. Hopefully I will be able to order it again for my next event. After seeing it and holding it I absolutely MUST wear it somewhere!!!

The dress is a beautiful color and has a beautiful shine, but it did noting for my figure. There is no shape in the waist so my larger chest made my belly look equally as large. And I'm not sure why, but the opening in the back drapes kind of strangely. I tried on the M and L and the L fit the same, only it was longer and the drape was more pronounced; thus looking worse. I think it had to do with my hips, so if you have hips of any kind, this dress may not be the right choice. It did make my legs look great. I paired the dress with small simple gold rhinestone earrings and nude platform heels with a champagne clutch. I did feel very glamorous and I got at least 3 compliments every time I left the dinner table, but I felt other dresses could have complimented my shape more.

They are a great size and not too heavy to be uncomfortable; the immediate reaction I had to their weight when I put them on went away within a minute and I forgot they were even in my ears. They don't have the look and feel of "family jewels" like I was expecting; the stone is not as opaque as I imagined. But they were still fun to wear and fashionable. The shade of the green is beautiful. I only wished that I had opted for the matching ring too.
