This dress was my first choice, but I didn't wear it. The zipper looked lumpy down my back, and the shoulders were narrow, making me look quite pear shaped. The fabric and color are lovely, though the sequins were scratchy under my arms. Overall, I called this look "beached whale", and went with my backup dresses.

This was too small for me in my regular size, and was completely unflattering on my body. I absolutely loved the fabric, and was so sad it didn't work.

This probably would have been perfect if I were able to get it in my size. RTR was only able to ship my backup size, which was just too big. The dress is lovely, and the shape was perfect for my hourglass figure.

I felt great in this dress. It was a smidge too big, but not a full size as I would have expected. My *only* complaint was the bust of the dress. I was adjusting it all night to keep my bra from hanging out. Definitely go with a strapless, as the dress sits slightly off the shoulders.

Make no mistake, this fit me like a corset. I would have probably sized up if I could. A strapless bra would have worked, but I opted to go without. This dress gave me plenty of support. Honestly, it’s been a long time since I felt this beautiful. It totally worked for me.
