Classy without too much bling
I wore these earrings with a red gown and a gold bracelet all rented from RTR. I found the earrings by trying them on in the NYC flagship store during an appointment to find a dress for my law school's Barristers Ball. I am not the flashy bling type but I wanted statement earrings -- these were perfect and went well with my reddish brown hair.

I let my friend wear it and while it looked great on her it didn't fit me right
If you are lacking in boobs, have a small ribcage, or a short waist, you might have gapping in the top. The fabric is beautiful and the dress is super warm so I also would recommend for winter events since it keeps you so well insulated. The dress has many layers of thick, structured fabric underneath. The color is reflective a little, like a sheen. A very photogenic dress. The waist has elastic in it, and actually for my friend who couldn't quite get the zipper up, the elastic combined with the bunching of the dress made it so you couldn't tell it wasn't fully zipped. The v neck is really low, but only if the stitch in the top has been cut. Mine was cut but you can tell where there used to be a stitch on the bodice. For me the stitch would have made the dress fit better since the top gapped for me, but for my friend it would have been impossible to wear if the stitch was there.

Absolutely perfect for a Ball
The color is a unique red -- bright but not orangey at all. The color complimented my red/brown hair, and in fact several people stopped me to say so at the event. I wore this to my law school's Barristers Ball. The cut of the v neck was low enough to show off cleavage but not so low that I felt over exposed. I wore a push up bra that was not even red colored but the dress stayed secured in place enough to consistently hide the bra when I used a strip of fashion tape on each side of the v neck. The mesh cut out on the side didn't show enough of my bra that wearing one was a problem there either. The mermaid shape of the dress is really a wow. I have a little left over baby fat from having two children, and this dress didn't show any of it. It has a lining and is thick enough that it is slimming. I recommend it!

Modern and glamorous
Easy to wear, simple and modern, easy to adjust the size by squeezing it, comfortable on my small wrists.

Did the job
This tape is comfortable but really sticks. It's great to have just in case, especially when you are getting a temporary dress and you're not sure about how it will fit. I used the tape to ensure that my top didn't slide around when I wore a bra under my gown. It made the whole dress look better!
