Nice color. Appropriately conservative for my event.
The dress runs very small in the hips. I thought I would need the 34 but ended up wearing the 36 and it was still a bit tight. The color is a nice plum. The whole thing was attractive.

Tight fit but attractive...
Based on the other reviews, I selected the XS, but I should have gotten the S. It was soooo tight I felt awkward and my boyfriend had to really help me. It was just too darn tight. I was uncomfortable. But I got the wrong size and that's my fault, not the dresses. I loved this dress's look personally, but my boyfriend did not like the black part.

Super cute and different...
I loved this jumpsuit. It fit like a glove, was easy to get on and off (bathroom), and was just right for a casual night out in Vegas. I felt young (I'm 50) but appropriate.

Conservative
This dress would be appropriate for a luncheon. The two was a bit tough to zip up. The fabric does not give. It fits like a glove. The fabric is fairly thick and could for cooler months.

Super Chic!
Loved this dress. Ended up wearing the Size 0 and it fit like a glove. I wore it to a 50th birthday party of a conservative friend. She knows I'm more edgy. It was just edgy enough for me with the lace "under" the sleeves and the "peekaboo" at the hem, but still conservative and not too sexy for the event. Very comfortable. I really liked it.

I wore the 2R!!
This dress is amazing. I wore the 2R by the way but the system isn't showing htat as a size right now for some reason. Anyway, it fit absolutely perfectly. It might have been a smidgen long and I was wearing 5 inch heels, but was ok. The fabric is gorgeous and the dress is lined and very well made. Super comfortable. Danced the whole night. Tons of compliments and I really felt I could hold my own with all the ladies there with designers gowns running in the $thousands of dollars.

Heavy and tight.
I did not end up wearing this dress for the event. It was tight around the arms and I knew there was going to be dancing. The fabric is extremely heavy and it was quite long even with 5 inch heels.

The most elegant dress there.
This is a terrific dress. I wore the 2R v the 0R, which was just too tight. The 2R was perfect - a smidgen long though and I had on 5 inch heels. Otherwise just perfect. Substantial fabric, beautifully made. The color is a beautiful bright green - not dark. I got compliments on the dress all night long. Everyone just loved it.

Gorgeous, ballet dancer inspired sophisticated dress.
Loved this fit and overall look. Flouncy with a lot of crinoline under the skirt. I liked that. But if you are "hippy" then not for you. I like 50's inspired type things and this has a similar silhouette. I am not busty and this made "the girls" look damn good. Great if you like a halter look. Dark midnight blue. Nice fabric. Well made.

Beautiful dress, on the conservative side.
This is a terrific dress for those events when you cant be too sexy and you just want to look really polished and sophisticated. Dressy cocktail event. Note that it's not lined.

Fun, young, spirited
I wore this for a June graduation in California. It is very bright and probably too young for me (50). It's not lined and runs very big. I needed a 2.

Well played!
Just right for a June graduation in Connecticut. I felt elegant but not dowdy. The fabric is very thin however. Not much there, hence 4 stars. I.e. not lined.

Too long!
Luckily I ordered two possibilities for this event. I loved this dress as it reminded me of the pink RL that Gwyneth Paltrow wore to the Oscars. And I felt it was something "different" in terms of color for the formal event. BUT it was too long. I am 5'3" and even with my highest heels it was still too long. I ended up wearing a different dress from RTR.

Truly elegant.
This dress is a perfect one to order from RTR because of the uneven hem. You don' t have to worry about it being too long! I had to have a ball gown and this one was just right. Elegant, and not over the top. I wasn't the "person of the evening" so I didn't want to stand out too much. My boyfriend loved it. I only saw one other person in the same dress that night, and hers was red. There were 700 people there, so it didn't matter! ;)

Provide a "different look" than the usual diamond studs.
These earrings were not heavy and did not make my ears hurt! They were suggested to me by the stylist and at first I thought they might be over the top for my age (50). But I decided to wear them, and I received many compliments on them (albeit all from younger women). I liked the way they looked on me overall and was so pleased to be able to wear them all night without pain.

Worn for a Ballet Fundraising Luncheon
This dress runs large. I normally wear a 4 and this was a 2. I liked the whimsy of the dress and it is extremely comfortable and was appropriate for what I was attending, however, the fit is flared at the hips as you can see in the second pic. I would not rent again because of this. I don't need extra width there (does anyone?) and even in a size 2, as you can see, it just was a bit wide for my taste.

It was a terrific dress.
Fit as described. Nice fabric. High-end. The only issue was a buckling of fabric right at the waist but it sort of looked like an intended fold.

Elegant and sexy at the same time.
I felt great in this dress and received a lot of compliments. The cut out is sexy but not too much (I'm 50 years old), and the whole dress is "elegantly sassy". It was two long so I had to stick the hem up with double stick tape. Well made, nice fabric. True to fit.
