I really enjoyed this dress!! I’m in between sizes so the 14 was a hair too big but the 12 was all-out impossible to zip. It is D E F I N I T E L Y intended for bustier girls but my lil B chest did ok in it with a pair of sticky nippie covers. When sitting down the keyhole does open a bit, that might be a function of me being short waisted and the dress being a bit big, but ok. A petite length was not available so the regular was very much too long for me and I had to pick it up all night long. SOOOOO comfortable and the color is gorgeous in person, a rich emerald with that rich shimmer only velvet can provide. Perfect for a formal winter corporate Christmas party.

I’m athletic and have huge lats so there was no way in hell this 10 was working!! I was so disappointed because I ordered this well in advance of my event and wish I’d gone for the 12 instead. I had to pick another style.

So excited to take the tags of a designer dress - I was the first to wear this one! It was a replacement for a 10 in another style that was way too small, so I think I overcompensated going with a 12 in this style - it was a bit too big. I could have done a 10. I’m 5’1”, 159lbs, athletic, short waisted. The fabric is thick, heavy, and svelte, like seal skin and has a little stretch. It’s luxurious - perfect for a corporate winter holiday party. The only reason it’s 4 stars is because the rosette didn’t really have any structure. It’s limp and kind of hangs down instead of being a perky flower.

This was one of my all time favorite rentals!!! It was comfortable, fit like a glove, just the right length for my short frame, and the train was like a flaming river of hotness behind me. And ladies, if your booty is your best asset, THIS is the one!! My only complaint was that the strings of the border lining the train kept catching on things. But I would still rent it again in a heartbeat!

This was a replacement of a replacement of a replacement for the Theia dress I reserved back in September for my husband's black tie holiday party. I was not too happy with RTR, I gotta tell you, and I expected nothing to fit with the last minute selections I had to pick from. Man, was I wrong. Ladies. This dress is amazing. For all the 5'1" shorties with no boobs, thick thighs, butt-is-your-best-asset, Crossfitter-type bodies, this gown in petite is freakin' PERFECTION. GET IT. I am not a fan of high heels and my 3" worked fabulous with it. No stretch, and I wore a Stickeebra with no underwear for the cutouts. I felt like a queen all night long.
