Classic cut & extremely flattering!
Major shout outs to Samantha F. and Cara of the RTR team for helping me find this dress last minute for my senior sorority formal! The dress was just snug enough to show off my figure while maintaining a very sweet vibe overall. I have a definitive hourglass body type, but I think this dress would be just as flattering on someone with a little less curve as well because of the smooth stretchiness of the fabric. I'm also not usually a high-low hemline person, but the way this dress is cut is just striking, especially if you go for heels. I was complimented all night long, and you will be too!

You'll win best dressed, guaranteed
The dress is complicated to get on, with two zippers and lots of tulle, which is probably why so many people describe it as running small. I was terrified I wouldn't fit in my usual size, but I was completely fine. Prepare to be complimented all night long as the modern incarnation of princess Belle. This dress is unreal. I've been saving it to rent for years, and I'm so glad I did. This is a dress you won't forget and will want to keep, so make sure you wear it at an event that will be worthy of such an incredible gown.

Beautiful color, classic style! SHOWSTOPPER!
The classic style of this dress is a hit. The fabric is a little different than pictured, about the same thickness as corduroy. (Yes, really. Corduroy.) But it doesn't get too hot or weigh you down! Great for the right amount of twirl when swing dancing!

Beautiful color, tall girls beware
The most striking feature about this dress is the GORGEOUS color. It's more of a jewel tone than as pictured above. However, this dress was way too short for me as a tall and curvy girl to feel comfortable in, so I was unable to wear it to my event.

Everything about this night was unforgettable.
This dress is a total show-stopper. I wore it to my senior homecoming, and I got so many compliments. It's different, but not too over the top. There are blue, silver, and gold sequins, which you can't really see here. And, you can MOVE in this dress! Not to mention the fact that the dress must come with some good luck, because somehow I was crowned Homecoming Queen in it :)
