Flirty and fun
I rented this dress for a wedding and was so glad that I wore it. The color was fun and the off the shoulder detail was flirty but still conservative. I got so many compliments. I also loved the hemline. It had had a bit of a flamenco feel. It did run a little large but I feel like the size down would've been too tight. All in all it was a fantastic dress that I would totally rent again.

Fun and flirty
I am short-waisted so I had to do a bit of quick tailoring to take about an inch off the shoulder straps and raise the top up so it fit properly. I whipped out a needle and thread and did a quick stick to alter the shoulder straps, then removed it after my event. The fabric was stretchy, which made it comfortable to wear, but it also got a little baggy by the end of the day. If, like me, you are on the edge of a size - size down and not up.

This dress was perfect for an April garden wedding.
It was fun and flirty and I got tons of compliments. The fabric was stretchy so it was really comfortable to wear and great on the dance floor.

Flirty Fun
I wore this dress for two different social outings. I'm short wasted and I don't like things with a defined waist. I didn't realize until this dress arrived that it does have a waistband, which I kept pulling down all night. Other than that I loved the off the shoulder detail and the embroidery on the fabric. It was different and fun and I got tons of compliments.

Great dress
I loved the high neck. It was formal without being too much fabric. Sexy without being too revealing.

Southern Chic
I loved the pop of color this dress provided amongst a sea of LBD's at the party I attended. It was ladylike and covered everything but was sexy with the off the shoulder faux sleeve. I got tons of compliments.

Classic with a twist
I ordered this for a black-tie gala and was very pleased with the down. I had read previous reviews that this dress runs large so I ordered a six and an eight, as I usually am in between. The size 6R fit me perfectly and was extremely comfortable. The 6R was a bit short, I wish I had ordered the long. I am 5'7" and it could've been another inch or two longer. This is a very classic fit at the shoulder detail gave it a bit of attitude. I got several compliments on it. If you like classic styling you will love this gown.

The dress fit great but that side slit ruined it.
I spent the entire evening adjusting the dress so that the slit on the side didn't reveal the bottom of my bra. This detail didn't add to the design at all, it hampered it. Loved the slit on the shoulder, but NOT having one at the waist.

Great color. Stretchy fabric. Fun to wear.
Great fit. I loved that the fabric had some stretch to it so it was comfortable. It did stretch out a bit over the course of the evening. Overall, I got lots of compliments on it. Two thumbs up!

The Bold and the Beautiful
I absolutely loved wearing this gown. It fit like a glove and stayed in place so I wasn't tugging on the top all night. I also loved that it had pockets. I got so many compliments on the bold, graphic design. Two thumbs way up.

It looks great on the RTW website but in person it looks like upholstery fabric.
It looked frumpy on because the fabric was so thick. It was on my body for :60 seconds before going back in the return bag.

Sexy, fun and comfortable. What more can you ask for in an outfit?!
I wore this outfit for an evening out with friends. We met up for dinner and cocktails and then went out to a club to see a show. I got so many compliments on this amazing color and fun detail on the back. I loved the front because I didn't feel like I had to suck in my stomach all night. It was super comfortable and fun to wear.
