Rose gold glitter
I adored the dress but it was a little “boob-y”. Obviously can’t wear a strapless bra with it because of the lace-up back, and no matter how tight i laced it i felt like my boobs were popping out. I used the straps for a while until i got sick of them because they do dig in since they’re pretty slim. They were also hard to adjust. Overall i loved wearing but glad i don’t own it.

My mom wore it!
I got an extra style since ne of my sizes was unavailable and my mom ended up wearing it to a black tie event we were attending. She’s early 70’s, 5’7”, slim but busty. She wore it with a strapless bra (but i tried it on and you could go bra less, the fabric is definitely thick enough). My mom was intimidated by the sparkles and thought she was “too old” to wear this but ended up really loving it! I loved it on me too but went with my first choice.

All the compliments
This dress was stunning. I didn’t think i could pull it off but it was a dream. It does wrinkle with sitting so take pictures before you sit for the night! You can’t wear a bra with it so probably not best for bigger chested ladies. I used stick on nipple covers which worked great. I got spanx that were low cut in the back and they were perfect. Dress was actually long enough to be on the long side with 3 inch heels so no need for a long unless you’re like 5’10” or so. Loved loved loved wearing this one.

Showstopper 🔥
I wore this to a black tie event for my work (Vemetian masquerade ball theme) and loved it. I’m 5’7” and it was perfect with a 2” heel. Had enough support i didn’t have to wear a bra, and enough coverage i didn’t need to wear spanx or any particular underwear. It was comfy all night. Loved the ruffle and i felt so confident in the red. Lots of compliments!!

Perfect for Vegas
Wore this to a Vegas wedding celebration without much wedding going on. Wore to discopussy, a techno DJ place. Dress is surprisingly thick fabric. Has some stretch to it. East to wear strapless bra with it. It was pretty short… but good for a Vegas night out. Had so much fun sparkling in this one!

Medium too small, large too big
The medium was too tight in the chest, and even with the adjustable straps, the seams for the boob parts were too high. On the large, i was just swimming in it especially in waist and hips and the boob parts still were too high/didn’t lie right. I really hated the front slit as well, it just seemed weird. This was the first RTR dress I’ve gotten that i did NOT wear. Thankful it was supposed to be for a wedding 30 mins from home so it was easy to pursue other options!

Stunning
It has a sort of corset on the inside that hooks in the back. I was able to go bra-less with it! The dress is form fitting through the waist and made a really nice line. The 8R was a good length for me, wore about a 3 inch heel. I loved wearing this! Did use spanx under it to just get a slimmer line. The 10 was too loose at the top on me. The 8 was a little tight but with someone to help zipper it was perfect and looked perfect!

Glamorous and high fashion
I loved this dress! It was a little out of my wheelhouse but I’m so glad i went for it. It was comfy and high quality thick fabric. I wore a strapless bra and was comfortable. Also wore spanx just to make a smooth line. It’s quite fitted around the hips and then was looser around the chest, i went with the 8 because the 10 would have been way too loose up top. I think a 6 would have been too tight around the hips. I loved this!

Fun flowers
I got a M and a L and went with the large - it was a little tight in the natural waist but was fine. The straps aren’t hard to figure out - you just cross each over your head so they crisscross. I wore a regular strapless bra with it, but could have gone bra-less if i had wanted to (36C). It wasn’t too short (I’m 5’7”). The flowers were brighter in person than it looked online which i liked. I wore this to my 15th college reunion party which was “cocktail attire” and it was comfy and fun all night.

Glitz & Glamour!
I loved wearing this to a black tie event for my work. TONS of compliments - I felt like a 20s film star in old Hollywood. The 10R was short on me (I’m 5’7”) - i wish i had ordered the long. I wore a 2” heel and would have loved to wear something higher but the dress would have been wayyyy too short. Even with this heel it was short. Fabric is thick so I didn’t need to wear a bra! It’s very flattering and comfortable. I went with the 10 because the 8 was sooo tight at the waistline i couldn’t breathe. So maybe size up and get the long!

Flowy flowers
This was a backup for a dress that they didn't have (found out 2 days before it was supposed to arrive), and they only had it in a 6, but i figured I'd try it. The 6 did fit me, but it was tight across the boobs (made them look kind of flat). The side slits are kind of high, and the liner of the dress is quite short - i had to keep pulling it down. I loved the pattern on the dress with the birds and flowers. I wore a strapless bra with it. Fabric is fairly thin, so wore thong underwear.

Flirty and fun
Wore to a wedding in key west. The straps do dig in over shoulders/collarbone - so i pinned the 2 middle straps together in the back instead of using the hook at the top, which helped quite a bit. Fabric was thick enough i didn't need to wear a bra - and it poured rain at an outdoor wedding and i still felt good! Got lots of complements on this dress - it moves and it so fun to dance in. Loved the bright color!

Great dress, lots of complements.
Doesn't have a lot of stretch to it - the medium was too tight around my hips. The straps are adjustable which is nice. Perfect for a fall wedding with the maroon and navy. It was comfortable, and I could wear a regular strapless bra with it, which was nice too!

Loved this dress, comfortable, lots of compliments!
I'm between 5'7" and 5'8" and the regular length was fine but I only wore a 2" heel. If I had worn any higher of a heel I would have wanted the long length. Like others have said, the neck line is a little tight, but it was fine. The dress is form fitting enough in the bust and there are 4 layers of fabric (2 layers of the red fabric, and 2 of the pink colorblock overlay) so even though you can't really wear a bra because it would show in the back, I was actually able to go bra-free. I usually wouldn't ever do that, but the dress was thick enough and not too loose in the arm holes so nothing was visible and no one could tell I didn't have a bra on. I was very comfortable. The waist line was a good fit for me, had a slim line but I had no problem eating and drinking a lot! The hook at the back can be difficult to fasten yourself, so have someone on hand to do that for you. I loved this dress, got so many compliments at a black tie wedding. Felt great wearing it and loved every minute.
