So fun and elegant
I loved the cut and fit of this dress. It's stretchy and easy to get in and out of however dancing was a little difficult as it kept trying to ride up or the shoulders would fall, but its a cute little dress with good intentions.

Dress fit, lining didn't
I got this dress after my original choice had been damaged and RTR asked me to select a new one.After reading reviews I was a little worried about the fit in the chest, but still ordered my normal size. The dress came and was cute, I think it was the perfect length for a shorter dress and I was really excited to see the corset top built in (no bra needed!!). Unfortunately the lining in the dress had shrunk and barely fit at my knees. I'm positive the dress would have fit, but there is no way I could get it higher than my knees without adjusting the lining. I didn't end up wearing it and was quite disappointed.

Sparkles were show stopping!
The fit was true to size, I'm shorter and was worried about length but it was perfect. Only complaint was that the sequins rubbed on my arms and created at rash but it wasn't anything horrible.

Gorgeous, but Couture Sizing
I have a formal event coming up and after I tried on the 2 at Barney's I decided I still needed to order this to try on before I rented it for the actual event. It's a stunning dress and RTR was nice enough to hem it to a non-runway length. Zac Posen typically runs a little small, I'm busty so I probably would have fit in a 6 or an 8.

Sexy, but Elegant
Much to my bf's dismay, I'm definitely on the conservative side when it comes to dressing. I got this dress for a cocktail party and both my boyfriend and I loved it. His response was "you can wear pearls and be a little slutty!" The black is slimming and covers everything, SPANX ARE A MUST...unless you have a 6-pack. I liked it because its tight and cut like the Herve Leger's, but the fabric is a little more sophisticated.

So many Compliments
Wore these to spice up an LBD and they worked fabulously. So many compliments. I loved the hint of green too add a little color. They are quite big and heavy though!

Sparkley!
It was a great general necklace. The metal was a little cheap looking and the stones are see through so they'll pick up the color of your dress behind it.

Absolutely perfect!
I cannot describe how absolutely perfect this dress was! I wore it to a formal work event and was looking for something classic, elegant and still a little fun. The sleek cut and classic black covered the first 2 bases and the bow, the lace and the Angelina slit add a little fun.To top it all off it was COMFORTABLE!!! The fabric made the dress easy to move in for everything from sitting to dancing! The first 2 hours of the party were spent sitting, watching a movie and the dress didn't wrinkle AT ALL. It transitioned smoothly in the dancing and chatting later. I was actually sad to send this back!
