I've never felt so fabulous
Ok, I felt like a goddess. I've never gotten so many compliments in my life. Is the top a lil big? Yes. Did it bother me? No. I have pretty small boobs, and they aren't at their perkiest, but I just wore it with nothing underneath and it worked. The dress was LONG. Walking required me to hold it, and dancing required me to hold it in both hands and swing it like some ballroom dancer, and I love it. If those things don't bother you, rent this immediately!

Extra rolls?
I would hedge on a larger size. Because of the Roman draping situation, which is NOT flexible, the waist fell a bit high on me, creating belly rolls made out of fabric. Did not wear at all.

Cool but blocky
I really loved the spirit of the dress, but it didn't make the final cut for my wedding weekend. It ran a bit big, and the way the cutouts fell, it did not flatter my hourglass figure at all, almost taking away my natural waist. I would size down in this for sure. The fabric and color were a dream!

80s Goddess
This dress made me feel like an 80s goddess. I am between a 6 and 8 - with my bottom part being the thicker part. The 8 was just right. I felt like a super model and everyone loved it!

Courthouse Wedding - Not Mine
Perfect to attend a friend's courthouse wedding in sprint. I recommend sizing down. I'm between a 6 and 8 and the 6 was the right choice. Very light fabric. Lots of compliments.

Alice in Wonderland!
Loved it - I have an hourglass figure, and this hit my just right. My family kept calling me Alice in Wonderland. Was perfect for a family wedding in the springtime.

Vintage, Sexy, Easily Wrinkled, Tight Arms
Obviously it is very pretty. The arms were very tight so I wore them unbuttoned. I had just steamed the dress in the photo so you can see it easily wrinkles. The good thing is it didn't wrinkled much more than that!

Classic but transparent
Love this dress - have rented it a few times in different sizes as I lost weight. The sleeves are elastic, which I like because I feel The Kooples tends to squeeze my arms. But I don't know if it was supposed to have a liner but it is definitely see through. Good thing no one was on the street!

Amazing and flattering
Loved it! My waist looked so tiny! Remember there is a secret hook and eye - I didn't find it until I was at work, so in the photo it is a bit lower in the cleavage. I did wear a lacy bralet to make it ok for work. The length was great and it wasn't too sexy. I did have to ask a friend to help me tie the sleeves, but there were nice and roomy for us full bicep ladies.

Pretty, long, comfy
This ran a bit big for me. Also it was longer than I expected. I think I would rate it higher in a smaller size, as it kind of fell below my waist and looked like I have a pot belly. The print is gorgeous and I did have to steam it, but as it got wrinkled you couldn't tell. It was a bit long on me as well, but that might be related to size. Very light and airy!

Heavy yet delicate
Fits true to size. Is a dark red. Looks better in photos than real life (is that bad?) and is kind of surprisingly heavy. But overall I liked it. You will have to tie and steam or iron the shoulder ties, and probably get a friend to help, even if you're not in a neckbrace.
Damsel Dress

Flowy and classy
Perfect for the office! I am a very curvy lady, with a little extra paunch these days, and this dress was so comfortable and drapey, without looking like a mumu. I didn't even have to steam it when I received it, which is rare for RTR. Oh, and it has pockets! Note: It is slightly sheer so needs a slip (or courage) and the back closures are hook-and-eyes at the neck, and they did not stay closed for me at all. I just gave up and left it opened. Also, I am 5'6" and it was mid-calf, which is longer than pictured.
