I love the look but runs small
I will have to lose a couple inches off my waist to have this fit right, but I love the look and the fabric.

This dress was not even close to zipping when I tried it on.
I was so excited about this dress, but unfortunately the moment I put it on I knew it was never going to close. I typically wear a size 14, but the XL was not even close to zipping. RTR was amazing and sent me two other options, one of which worked great, but I am so sad I didn't get to wear this stunning number. It runs SO SMALL!

Great dress, but didn't end up wearing.
I didn't end up wearing this dress because I felt like the slit was too high. I generally wear slip shorts under dresses (where my thigh girls at?) and it totally showed because the slit was so high up. I was attending this event with leadership from my company and it was too revealing. However, it was comfortable, the fabric was of high quality and the dress was nice and heavy (which I like. Is that weird?). This might have been great for another event but not this one.

This was a great dress for a black tie event with colleagues!
This was a back up dress sent to me when the first dress I ordered didn't fit. I loved this! It was so comfortable, I didn't feel like I was stuffed in sausage casing all night. The neck like was perfect since I was there with leadership from my company and didn't want to show too much. Still I felt sexy and was able to dance! The subtle ruching at the waist was very flattering. I felt really glamorous in this dress.

I got a lot of compliments on this dress!
It's so rare to find a sequin dress that is actually comfortable! This one fit great and I felt confident in in all night. I was helping to coordinate the wedding, so I needed something I could move around in. This was perfect. I will definitely consider renting it again.

Too warm for a summer event, but very pretty.
I rented this dress for an outdoor summer wedding and did not end up wearing it. I had hoped, since it was not a solid overlay, that it would look conservative, but still be cool. Unfortunately the overlay seemed heavy to me, so I returned it without wearing it and went with a sleeveless dress from my closet. The dress was gorgeous and the smaller of the two sizes fit me well. It would be better for a winter event.

Everyone loved this dress! I received so many compliments!
I don't know if it was the holiday binging or that the dress just runs small. For the sake of my ego, let's say it runs small..... I found the sequins to be uncomfortable under my arms after a bit of dancing. It helps to wear some sort of sweater or bolero. I also found the deep neck to be too revealing for me (I'm very busty) so I tacked it up another inch for the night. Overall I liked the look and feel of the dress and everyone else really loved it.
