These. Are. GORGEOUS. Yes, they are big, yes they are heavy. But they are worth it. They are definitely darker than in the listing picture, a stunning deep green blue. The color combo with the soft gold and the rhinestones was just beautiful and would look great with a variety of dress colors and the asymmetrical design made them just edgy enough to not look too "pageanty" despite their size and bling factor. Even though they are heavy, I didn't find them uncomfortable, I danced in them and everything. Seriously, I would buy these if I could find them. Love.

This was my first RTR experience and I was thrilled with how it all turned out. I am short and a little curvy, and I have a short torso, so I knew getting this dress may have been risky, but I loved it so I went for it. I do think this dress runs a little small. I initially ordered the 4 and 6. I have a small rib cage, so I usually size down...but I couldn't even get the 6 to zip! Thankfully the 8 was in stock and RTR overnighted it to me and let me keep the GORGEOUS jewelry I had selected to go with it. The 8 mostly fit great. The only issues I had was because of my short torso the side zipper bent and poked me in the ribs some, but it wasn't a big deal. Also, the hem felt a little weird, like the lining was bunched up and didn't lie flat at the bottom. I found my self fidgeting with that through out the night, I paired the dress with the Badgley Mischka Blue Ice Crystal Earrings, AV Max Glitzy Glamour cuff and my own Jessica Simpson platforms that just so happened to have the same blues and greens as were running through the tweed of the dress. The colors are much more subtle in most light than in the picture, and that's a good thing. To my surprise the Holiday Party theme was Mardi Gras! I could not have had a more perfect outfit to fit the theme. I got compliments all night long and felt fabulous. I was able to sit, eat, dance and even hula hoop with no issues at all in the dress. I was completely comfortable. I often feel a little exposed in off the shoulder dresses, but this one was cut so nicely up top that I felt completely covered even with one shoulder out. Even with a few minor issues, I love love loved wearing this dress.
