I rented this for our family photo shoot and I looooved it. Absolutely my favorite RTR dress so far. It flowed beautifully over my hips/butt/tummy (usually things are too tight when it fits everywhere else) and was so flattering. The sash gave me a nice waist and the sheer sleeves were so elegant. The top is low cut and I'm super busty, so it took some fashion tape and a pin to make it work. And it's long, but I wore my highest heels (I'm 5'3) and it was perfectly hitting the floor.

I didn't end up wearing this because the fit was so odd. The neckline is very high, and actually felt like it was choking me! This surprised me; I wear petite sizes, so usually necklines are far too big on me. I ended up going with my second RTR option; I didn't want to strangle myself in this!

I loved the dress when it arrived - I was afraid it would look a little cheap (sometimes lace over nude lining can do that), but it looked great. The problem, however, was the plunging front and back. I'm a 38DD, so it goes without saying that I can't go braless, which this dress pretty much requires. I tried to do a backless, strapless, U-plunge bra from Victoria's Secret (the kind that stick to you), but even part of that would show in the front of the dress. I finally added a halter strap to the sticky bra to give me some lift, and then had to use double-stick tack on top of the sticky bra to keep everything in place. It was basically a feat of modern engineering. But even then, my boobs only held in the dress when I was standing still or sitting perfectly straight. Bottom line: Unless you're smaller on top (I'd say a B-cup or smaller), or just have abnormally perky large boobs, this might not be the choice for you. Which is too bad, because it's gorgeous!

I got this dress for a Super Bowl party. I'm usually more of a 10, but the 8 fit just right. The top was a bit baggy even though I'm a 36 DD. The bottom was surprisingly forgiving -- I have curvy hips, but it wasn't too tight or pulling. The color is more of a neon yellow which I actually really loved, since neon is sort of having its moment. I love the detail on the one shoulder strap, which is hard to see in the picture -- it's two strings, rather than just a fabric strap. I got a TON of compliments from guys and girls, and I loved that I stood out (in a good way!) with such bright color. Since the dress was so bold, I stuck with neutral accents -- nude heels, a nude colored beaded necklace and gold hoops.

I was hesitant to get the dress because I don't have a model's body -- I'm a 10/12 with a big chest, small waist and big hips. But this dress is super cute, very flattering and comfy! I was worried it would also be too long on me (I'm 5'3), but it hits about mid-thigh and is a great length. This was my first experience with RTR, but I'll be back for sure!
