Versatile, comfortable and cute
I love this dress. The color is rich, the fabric is quality and it is ridiculously comfortable. My only complaints are that the sleeves are hard to keep rolled up (even with the buttons) and the tie string in the middle comes undone frequently. However, overall I think the length was perfect to be cute and appropriate. I wore this a few times--for both date nights and casual running around and just wore different shoes to change up the look. As a bonus, there are pockets! I usually wear a 4, 6 or 8 and went with the four. It is flowy and loose (you adjust with the drawstring), so sizing isn't so much in the waist/bust with this one, but might impact the length.

Comfortable, sexy, and classy
This blouse is fantastic. It is super comfortable, sexy and classy all at the same time. Off-the-shoulder tops can slip around a lot, but not this one--it stayed where I wanted it to! I loved the softness of the fabric and tie detailing at the front. I wore it with a nude strapless bra and you couldn't see it at all, even though the fabric is sheer.

Stunning color and very versatile.
This dress is a gorgeous fuschia color and seems to be well-made. The lace detailing is interesting, yet not garish or distracting. I like that this is simple and feminine, but also unique. It was very tight on me and I found that I kept having to pull it down, but overall, it was a great dress. If you are between sizes, size up. I wore a 6, but wish I had opted for the 8 for comfort. You can wear a regular bra, which is always a plus! The dress is long enough to be appropriate for a variety of functions, but still flirty enough to work for a date or other occasion where you want to be a little sexy.

Comfortable, sexy and classy
This dress was perfect for a company Christmas party. It was flattering and sexy without being too revealing. Great for accentuating the shoulders too! I would size up. One of my favorite RTR dresses of all time!

Tiny and difficult to close
Pros: Glitter did not shed everywhere and super cute Cons: Too small too hold necessities--I just wanted to put in my ID, a credit card, iphone and lipstick and couldn't close the clutch. The chain kept coming unsnapped.

Honestly, one of my first disappointments with an RTR dress.
The top of this dress was very ill-fitting and I kept having to check for 'wardrobe malfunctions'. The skirt was comfortable, but the material was very heavy. The dress was fine for going out to dinner, but I would not recommend it for anyone that needs to move around at all or dance. Honestly, one of my first disappointments with an RTR dress.

Flattering, chic and comfortable
This is one of my favorite RTR dresses and one of the few I would consider purchasing if it goes on sale. The color is a deep plum, very appropriate for the cooler months and the materials are high quality. The dress is super soft to the touch and stretchy which makes it comfortable. It hugs your curves in all the right places (in the booty!) and has details to downplay the midsection. Hitting above the knee on me, it was an ideal length- long enough to be appropriate, yet not too 'buttoned up' looking. I loved being able to wear a regular bra with the dress.

Gorgeous and feminine, but photographs horribly
I wore this dress to a dinner and a show in Vegas for my birthday. The dress is absolutely gorgeous and feels very feminine and luxurious against the skin. I felt like a goddess walking around the casinos in it. The cons are that the straps fall down and the front sags a bit. The dress looked awesome in person, but made me look so obese in photos (which I'm not!) that I did not post any of them on social media.

Sweet and simple, but lacking a 'wow' factor
I liked the dress and the color is gorgeous, but it is not a dress that makes you stand out of the crowd. It fit nicely and feels well-made, but I had to wear a strapless bra because of the flutter sleeves. The length was good- not too long and not too short. Although somewhat flowy, this dress is not slimming. This was fine for a casual outdoor wedding and I was not uncomfortable at all, but I would not rent it again.

This dress was so comfortable and flattering with just the right amount of sparkle
I wore this dress for New Year's Eve and was thrilled with it. It was extremely comfortable as the material was stretchy, but not cheap feeling. I found that I was comfortable in a warm room all night even though the sleeves were long. The fit was perfect-not too long and not too short and an adjustable amount of cleavage. The sparkle around the neckline are more of a deep bronze color and are tightly sewn small sequins to maintain the luxe appearance (larger/widely spaced sequins often look cheap). The gathered knot in the center really 'makes' the dress, streamlining the entire look. I paired this with nude colored heels and a black and gold clutch purse. The dress is definitely in my top 3 dresses worn of all time!

This dress was super comfortable and chic
I wore this dress in Atlantic City for my 21st birthday and thought it was great! The fabric is super soft and it is very sexy without being a dress that you're constantly checking to make sure that it is still covering all of you. The neckline is cut so that even though you are not wearing a push up bra, you still have nice cleavage. The length was also great- not too long or too short. I did wear half Spanx under this as it shows all of your curves/underwear line.

This dress did not work for me, but looked great on my friend
This dress was very true to size everywhere but the bust. There is no "give" in the bust area and no matter how much extra room I had elsewhere, I could not get it on. I am a small C cup so I am not particularly well endowed. My friend who is the same size as me, but an A cup ended up wearing this dress and it looked great on her- very flattering and perfect for a night out at a casino.
