Beautiful and different!
I loved wearing this dress to a formal dinner I attended. It was so different then most dresses, but not too crazy. The black top with the flower detail was beautiful, and I liked the pattern bottom. The top on the large size was actually smaller, as it seemed the smaller size top had been stretched out. The clasps in the back do break easily, both the dress I wore and the backup had broken clasps. I would definitely recommend this dress!

A way to stand out in a sea of long gowns
This dress was great for a formal affair, and a way to stand out when the majority of people wore long gowns. The high in the front, low in the back make it an interesting dress. The gold underlay is not a prominent as in the model photo. It has a tight waist, but the top was a bit loose, especially if you are not busty. I would have liked to try on size 2, as it may have fit better in the top. I was able to go bra-less, as it is fairly structured, although there is not cups or boning.

Simple & classy!
Rented this dress for a Navy Ball. It was simple and classic, and the gold underlay gave the dress beautiful detail. It was so comfortable and I was able to wear a regular bra. It seemed to run a bit big, and I might have liked a 0. I would recommend this dress for a formal dinner or dancing event if you want to stand out in a sea of long gowns.

Loved the asymmetry aspect
This went great with the dress from RTR and gave some much needed bling and interest. It's fairly heavy, but as the evening progressed, I didn't notice it that much.

Edgy and classy
I rented this for a military ball and it was the prefect color and style. It was classy but also a little edgy with the cut out. I tried to wear a strapless bra, but you could see it at the top of the cut out. It doesn't have any built in support. Also, the cutout is fairly flattering because it's below the bust, but above the belly button. I wore 2" heels and the dress was just above the floor. It was comfortable, but a little tight in the neck when sitting down.

Great for a Derby Party
I rented this dress for a Kentucky Derby party. It was perfect. The pastel colors compliment almost any hat. It dress was a little big in the top and I ended up having to safety pin it up. Also, when sitting down, it was difficult to keep the fabric underneath hidden. I recommend this dress for a casual wedding or summer party.

This dress was perfect for the black tie dinner I attended, not too formal, but just formal enough.
I was a little worried that I ordered too small of a size based on the reviews, but luckily the 2R fit great. I loved that there was a build in bra, but I needed a little extra since it looked weird if it wasn't filled out. With heals the dress was a little short, but I made due. You can also tell this dress has been rents quiet a bit as there are a few loose stings here and there. I would definitely recommend this dress for a formal affair!
