Classy and Flattering
I wore this to my sister-in-law's wedding in early October. The fit is very flattering; I have a bit of a stomach pooch and this dress really minimized it. I liked that the sequin detailing is subtle; they are like a teal green color and the pattern almost reminded me of fish scales - just enough to make an otherwise run of the mill LBD pop. I ordered a size down due to other reviewers' comments and am glad that I did - the 8 fit perfectly even though I haven't worn an 8 in years :-) Its not a WOW dress that you'll get tons of compliments on, but its a safe bet for a nice fit, comfort, and class.

Lovely, ladylike dress
This dress was perfect for my sister in law's bridal shower at a winery - classy cut with a fun color and pattern. Runs true to size. I am 5'9" and felt a little uncomfortable with the length, I only wish it had been and inch or two longer. The fabric is really nice and drapes beautifully; however, it feels a little heavy on. I wore on a warm day and was really hot. Would be perfect weight for spring/fall.

Pretty dress, but not my favorite
The material and embroidery detail at the waist were beautiful - very soft dress with a nice drape. I found the 10 snug around my waist, so went with the 12. The bust on the 12 was very roomy and low cut, and as others have said, fashion tape is essential. I did manage to wear a stapless bra by using one of those extender staps (i am too busty for a nu bra). With the extender, i was able to criss cross the bra staps down below the opening in the back. It was semi-uncomfortable by the end of the night, but a necessary solution as i looked really saggy braless :-) The dress itself was comfortable and roomy in the hips/stomach, which is exactly what i need with my 3 months pregnant bloat. Overall the dress was pretty but didn't have the WOW factor that I usually get with RTR.

Black Embroidered Keyhole Dress

Classy and conservative
I rented this dress for an early summer wedding. The lace and construction was beautiful, and I adored the open back. I wanted something a little more conservative and this fit the bill without sacrificing a bit of sexy. I am pretty curvy and carrying some leftover baby belly, and the lace and navy combo did a pretty good job of giving me a slimmer profile. I have a big bust and NEED support, so that was a concern - i used the band that hooks to your strapless bra and wraps around the body to make the bra sit lower than the opening of the back.

Cute and sophisticated! Love the pink!
I rented this for a bachelorette party in Atlantic City, and this was perfect. I could have worn the 10 but felt like i'd be comfortable all night long in the 12 as this does run a little snug. Being a few months post-baby, this dress was really flattering and slimming in the stomach/hips area. The pink made it really fun, and i LOVED the lace. I am tall and this dress hit mid-thigh, sexy without being too short. One note - the lace did have a few pulls and snags, which I guess is to be expected. They weren't too noticable.

I wanted to love this, but the fit was not quite right
I ordered this as my 2nd dress for a bachelorette weekend in Atlantic City. I am a curvier girl, and from the reviews this sounded like a good pic for my body type. I have a pretty large bust, so went with the large. I am not sure if I should have been in a medium or if perhaps the particular dress i had was stretched from repeated wear, but the neck just did not lay right on me. It fit perfectly through the hips and I liked the length, but the sequined V was almost saggy and just looked sloppy. I decided not to wear this dress and just wore something i already owned. Disappointing, but maybe i should have ordered a medium.

I LOVE this dress! I didn't want to return it!!! I got so many compliments and felt fantastic in it. I agree with shoelover, the dress is well made and the boning provides nice push-up and support. A very classy and sexy dress.

I was very disappointed in this dress. I ordered two sizes (8 and 10 - I am closer to a 10 usually) and both were huge on me. I have a medium to large sized bust and I couldn't wear either one - thank goodness I ordered a back-up dress! It was a shame, because in theory I think this is a really cute look.

Forgiving and lovely dress
I wore this dress to a wedding about 4 weeks after giving birth. I had no idea if this dress was going to work for me as I still had a lot of pregnancy weight, mostly in my hips and abdomen. It is very forgiving and had a lot of flow, so it was absolutely perfect for hiding my trouble areas but still looked very elegant. I was so happy to find a dress that I could feel good in, even though i wasn't feeling my best :-)

LOVE THIS DRESS
This dress looked so hot - It was so flattering, i have a bit of a tummy and it really did a good job of hiding that and smoothing everything out. I felt fabulous in this dress and just might have to buy it.
