I really loved wearing this dress to a black tie wedding. The material, color and cut are stunning, and the mesh between layers helped prevent the dress from being too heavy. Easy to dance in and eat in, and received so many compliments - highly recommend this one

This dress was so comfortable for a black tie wedding and I got so many compliments. The dress is really silvery/sparkly in person. I love that the straps were adjustable so no safety pins needed to adjust to your perfect fit! I got the long and wore small (2”) heels which was perfect to have the dress just hit the floor. Such a comfortable dress and easy to dance all night in this one!

This dress is so stunning!! It’s a bit difficult to get into (I don’t think it’s possible solo) but the straps in the back mean the dress can fit to your body like a glove. Very comfortable and got compliments all night! It does have a bit of a train but I wore heels and still was able to dance the night away. Would recommend this one for a black tie wedding!!

Size Worn: 8R

Height: 5' 8"

Bust: 36D

This dress is so beautiful, comfortable and flattering on an hourglass shape. I had to safety pin one of the shoulder straps to make it a little tighter but it was easy to do without being noticeable with the way the shoulder seams were designed. Really recommend this one, so pretty!

Loved this cocktail dress - it was so comfortable and the bright blue underlay is a nice touch (the color pops through more brightly in person)! I was able to wear a normal black bra without the straps being noticeable, and this dress was easy to dance in! Highly recommend

Height: 5' 8"

Bust: 36D

This dress is perfect! The bust and fit of the upper half of the dress is customizable due to the straps, which can be tightened or loosened based on your preference. It was easy to dance in which is always a plus. The R length hit the floor, which is what I wanted in order to wear flats (I'm 5'9" for reference).

Usual Size: 8

Height: 5' 9"

Bust: 36D

This fits really well if you have an hourglass figure! I was a little worried it would be short since I am 5'9'' but I was able to wear flats and the dress nearly hit the ground to cover them, which is what I wanted! I didn't wear a bra, but the dress was still super supportive given the waistline. It was really a comfortable dress and super easy to dance in. Overall, it is a fun bright red color that is perfect for a black-tie wedding!

I really loved wearing this dress. I was planning on a different dress, but it was returned to RTR damaged so this was my backup. It was unfortunately not available in the 8L due to the last minute nature, but I wore flats and it was fine. If you are 5'8'' or taller and want it to hit the ground or wear heels, I would recommend the 8L instead. I loved the back of this dress and the overall design!

This dress fits true to size and has pockets (!!!). It was nice to be able to wear a normal bra with this dress. I was a little worried about the straps sliding/bra showing, but just used safety pins to avoid that and it worked great. Highly recommend this dress!
