It shows off the girls
A fantastic dress that makes you look like a celebrity but watch out - busty girls will spill out of this dress. I wore it to a wedding and was constantly pulling up the top.

The waist is SMALL
Small waist band with no give. I ordered one size up and it still was too small. I couldn’t wear this out, unfortunately. Cute pattern, though, with quality fabric.

Comfy but large
A nice loose fit with a pretty pattern. I should have ordered a smaller size, but I still wore it and felt classy casual.

Comfy and cute
This was perfect for a vacation day out and dinner date. I’m curvy and it accentuated the best parts. Great cotton fabric, too. My husband said I should buy it!

Cute but snug
This shirt is figure flattering. I am very short, so it was a little long but went nice with skinny slacks.

Great summer bag!
This is a beautiful handbag that looks brand new. It has a lot more storage space than you would expect and goes with almost everything. Great for work or an event. I loved the wonderful texture, too.

Super cute (but a little worn out)
These glasses give a very cool look, and they certainly stand out from more boring styles. The quality lenses are also provide strong protection against the sunlight. I loved the clutch case that they come in, which could easily serve as a nice simple black clutch for an event. The issue I had with the sunglasses was with their care- they looked well worn and uncleaned (not just the lenses, but also the frames). I had to clean the glasses before I wore them to get some grimey spots off of them.

Bust: 36D
Beautiful, but waist is way too small.
While this skirt is beautiful, even the 12 ran exceedingly small in the waist. I can generally wear a 10 or 12, and I have an hourglass shape that makes it easy to go between the two, especially in skirts. But the band on this skirt was either improperly sized or not sized for an actual 12. So, even if you wear a size 10, I wouldn't recommend this skirt. I also wouldn't recommend it for petite women. But, if you are over 5' 3" and under a size 10, this is a good piece for a lunch event, work, wedding, or nice event. The pockets are generous and the flare of the large skirt feels very retro.

Gorgeous! Different but elegant!
So, there are a lot of reviews on this dress already but I wanted to show what the true color of this gown is. As you can see in my picture, it is a bright pink, like Barbie pink. But, it is still an incredibly gorgeous gown and is perfect if you're looking to stand out. I have a large bust (36DDD) and I didn't need a bra because the boning and bra inside the dress was sufficient. A great pick!

Beautiful, but I chose the wrong size.
So, this dress is lovely but I ordered a 12 and I should've gotten a 10. It worked well with my large bust but, because I have a short torso, bunch weirdly in the center. Too much fabric at the waist, but it would've been perfect in a 10. This was my backup dress, so I just wore my first choice.

Stunning!
I rented this for a ball at the Italian Embassy in DC. It was meant to be costume-y, but the necklace is actually incredible glamorous. It is somewhat long, but you can adjust it in the back to shorten it. Even with a large bust, the necklace wasn't "too much," but perfect. Would go well with prom, formal dresses, but maybe too fancy for a semi casual.

Simple elegance and stunning!
So, this dress is basically the perfect formal gown and has the same silhouette as Jennifer Lawrence's famous pink Dior gown that she wore to the Oscars. The only reason I gave it a 4 and not a 5 is because the neckline actually cuts a bit lower than what it looks like on the model. For busty girls (DD+), this is probably not the dress for you. Even with a smaller bust the neckline still shows ample cleavage, which is why I am not attaching a photo of the dress. However, the fit and feel of this dress was perfect. PERFECT. While it did hug my curves, the dress made me look at least a dress size skinnier than what I actually am and the drop-waist flare out at the bottom is regal. This was my back-up dress, but from the moment I tried it on, I didn't want to take it off. So many people told me that I looked like Cinderella! Even with the low neckline, this is probably one of the classiest dresses on RTR because of its simple, stunning elegance. The fabric is a bit heavy, but the dress is perfectly made. Besides the low neckline, the only drawback to this dress is that it may not be the dress for taller women (6' and above). I am only 5' and with 4 inch heels on the hem was only a little long. Had I worn 5 inch heels, the hem would likely have just graced the floor.

Vintage/Princess Look
This necklace is absolutely beautiful and relatively light. Because it is a tie back and not a clasped necklace, it can be adjusted to whatever length you need. I wore this to a formal event and loved it. The "vintage" look was perfect; I felt like I was wearing something passed down through the family!

Cute and simple party dress
This dress is more red than what the photo shows, which I liked. Very comfy and easy to wear except that my bust size was too big for the 10 which I otherwise would have worn. If you are a DD or DD+, go one size up. The fabric is thick and one of the dresses was fading, but this is a great simple dress for a party or date night and works well with a curvy figure. Looked great with black tights.

Fell asleep after NYE in this dress feeling like a princess.
I rented this dress for NYE and loved it so much! It is great for curvy girls, although a bit snug for my larger bust (34 DD/DDD), so I wore the size 12 instead of the 10. If I could afford this dress, I would buy it and wear it everywhere (work, parties, the grocery store...)

This dress made me feel classy and sleek.
I loved this dress. Simple and classy, like Audrey Hepburn! While it wasn't the right fit for the event I originally ordered it for, I ended up wearing it to work. The dress went down past my knees (I am only 5' tall), but it was still very classy with a set of pearls and a "messy" updo. This dress was perfect and comfortable for my curvy and busty frame.

RENT THIS NOW!
If you love to feel beautiful, sexy, and elegant at the same time- this is for you. I wore this to a college graduation banquet a few months ago and I was definitely (even with my plus size) the best dressed woman there. Hugs the right places, a little stretch for forgiveness.....I've looked everywhere to buy it but unfortunately RTR is the only place to find this beauty.

Great dress w/ some downsides
I am 5 feet and normally a dress size 10, and this dress size 12 fit PERFECTLY. I wore it to a Rotary Christmas party and everyone thought it was beautiful, however I would definitely recommend a size larger than what you typically wear because the black waist band is snug. Also, I would suggest an updo becuase the sequins on the dress snags on hair. Overall, I highly recommend this dress for curvy girls, short girls, girls with short hair/updos, and girls with large chests. Perfect for Christmas/NYE parties!

Great for the holidays.
Wore this dress for a Christmas dinner and a post-dinner play at a downtown theater. Beautiful, high quality fabric but no no no stretch. The center ribbon is a bit snug, so size up when renting this one.
