Pretty, but snags
This was a NYE outfit for me, and there was a lot of dancing involved; the sequins unfortunately snagged a bit, and it was a bit shorter (b/c of the way it folded in the front) than what I usually like. But overall, nice dress.

Ended up not keeping it, because it was too big. Otherwise would have been cute. Great thickness of material and love pockets, but so so baggy.

Both classy with some sexiness - had to wear shorts underneath since the slit was a bit high for my taste, but otherwise, worked perfectly. Fit super well.

Boxy
The bottom fit great - didn't accentuate any of my unflattering areas, but the top was very boxy (because it was backless), so did not give me much shape. Did not end up wearing it.

Didn't end up wearing this - the fit was very strange at the top, and the dress was VERY short.

Summer Graduation Perfection
This was the perfect summer graduation dress; it fit well, had pockets to hold my phone, and was a thick enough material to stay put! The reviews said that it ran small, but I am usually a size 4, and the size 4 felt just a hint big to me, but it was comfortable.

Summery
The top is definitely big; all the reviews were correct - the back part kept sagging down past my strapless bra, so I had to pin it in. Otherwise, it was a great dress for graduation!

Fun for a birthday!
It’s stretchy and fits well in any body shape! The front part of the dress hides any tummy pooch. The dress is a bit shorter than I had expected, but I eventually wore leggings underneath because it was cold outside. Otherwise, great dress.

Birthday Chic
I wore this for my birthday, and it was great. It was beautiful, it was the right length, and it was classy enough for the occasion. I also ate a ton and didn't feel like the dress restricted in any way. The neckline is high, which I'm not always a huge fan of (the feeling like something is tight around my neck), but I was able to manage it for the most part.

Birthday chic
I wore this for my friend’s birthday party at a nice restaurant. It was casual enough but also dressy enough for this event. It was a bit tight getting the dress around my shoulders, but once it was on, was comfortable. Wish there was a zipper or something to help with taking it on/off. Otherwise, great dress! Very form fitting and flattering

Comfortable and casual
I wore this for my friend’s engagement party. It was a soft and comfortable dress, fun and a little flirty. However, because it ties in the front, it made me look like I was a little pregnant (I’m not). It also was a tiny bit short in the front when the wind blew the wrap a little open.

Twist on a LBD
It was incredibly classy, and a bit longer than I had expected (a midi, instead of knee-length for my 5'7" height), which I actually enjoyed! I wore it for a wedding in a cold weather place, and it was thick enough that my legs weren't cold. Easy to dance in, because there was just enough stretch, and the one shoulder was so pretty. I loved this look!

Perfect for Holiday Party
The dress is gorgeous - I got so many compliments. I'm 5'7" and wore comfortable 1.5" heels, and it was the perfect length. It gives you enough room to dance, and the detail of the one shoulder with the draping in the back made it incredibly unique. The red was perfect for a holiday party, and thick enough that I didn't need to wear leggings or anything underneath for the cold weather, besides a coat on top. Highly recommend!

NEW YEARS DISCO BALL IN A DRESS
And it was literally the best. I got so many compliments. I love the long-sleevedness of it, as I lived in NY when I wore it. It's not terribly short, which still made it easy to dance in. It was so much fun, and I could not have picked a better dress for NYE.

Comfortable & Easy to Dance In
The material is very comfortable. The only reason I gave it a 4 instead of 5 stars is that it's not anything super glamorous. It was just a nice black dress, and I wore it to my graduation party, which was fine. I would've liked a little bit more pizzazz. It was great to dance in, and it was otherwise alright.

Fits like a GLOVE
The dress does run slightly small - the 4 was snug, whereas I'm usually in between a 2-4. That being said, this dress fit so nicely. It wears really well. It isn't as short as I expected it to be, and the material is pretty thick, which was great for the folds, the hiding-unwanted-extra-cushion, and draped beautifully.

It's a little bit of elastic, so it definitely fits like a glove. It hugs parts of the body, so I wore some Spanx and called it a day. It was definitely classy, sleek, but yet still has a unique touch. I got so many compliments, and it was super fun to wear.

THIS DRESS RUNS SMALL. I can usually squeeze into a 2, but I barely squeezed into the 4. The proportions are a little strange, as it's tight around the neck and hips, but the stomach/chest area were a little baggy. Not my favorite, but was still cute and fun to dance in; got a lot of compliments.

I rented this for a formal graduation party, and it was perfect in every way: there were work people, but the mesh made it very classy; the bottom layers were gorgeous - I can't even begin to express how beautiful and flowy it was. It was super comfortable to dance in as well. Loved it!

The dress was nice, not my favorite, but not bad. The top has some funky colors, which is nice, but the dress really hugs. It showed more of my unpleasant curves than I would have wanted, but it was still fun for the occasion.

Dancing Dream
The dress is so amazing, especially for dancing. There is a lace design on the back, which I wasn't aware of, but thankfully had a fun black bra to wear it with the dress. The dress flows so much more than I had expected, and it was such a great dress to wear for a graduation party. I was pleasantly surprised by how awesome this dress was!

The dress is really gorgeous. I wore it without a bra, and it fit great. I got so many compliments, and since it was for a wedding rehearsal, I could just put my phone and wallet in the pockets and jump from one thing to another. It was the perfect dress for the perfect occasion!

The material has a little stretch, which is great for fit. It's fun with the zippers, as you can pull it up or down as you please, and the material is pretty thick. It's super comfortable, and it is very fun. It wasn't my favorite dress from RTR, but it was a great one for rehearsal dinner at my friend's wedding.

It fits wonderfully, and it gives an extra special detail with the gold trim. It was just what I wanted for my birthday, and it was beautiful. It even gives a little extra room for large meals, without showing a food baby.

Graduation Fun
It was the perfect graduation party dress: the asymmetrical hem made it super fun and flirty, with the pink lining. The dress was pretty snug though. I usually can fit comfortably in a 4, or pretty snug in a 2. The 4 for this dress very quite snug. It was still really figure flattering.

Birthday Blast
The dress was wonderful. It hugs all the right curves, and there's a little stretch, so I was able to fit into the 2 nicely. The dress was also made from this material that is really forgiving, and the lace overlay helped to keep the dress looking clean, not bunched. The sleeves on the dress were a little tight on my arms, but I still was able to move fine. I wore it for my birthday, and it was awesome.

Gorgeous dress!
The dress is absolutely beautiful - the details, down to the belt. It was all so pretty. The slit was a bit high, but overall a great fit and perfect for a formal event, with a little bit of flare. I wore a 4L, and it was perfect in heels. The top was a bit baggier, and I probably could have fit into a 2, but the 4 was comfortable.

COMFORTABLE and sleek
This dress was super comfortable - it's made out of jersey material, but the tricky part was the shoulders staying down, the waist area of the dress, and the dress not riding up when walking. I wore an XS (which translates to a 2-4), and the fit was great. However, the waist area seemed a bit baggy, which is why I belted it. The dress also rides up, which is tough for dancing, and the shoulders part do too. But, it was an awesome dress to wear, and it made dancing easy to move in!

Best Decision Ever
The stylist actually picked this dress out for me when the another one didn't fit. So 2 things: 1. RTR people are the best, seriously. 2. This was amazing. I'm so glad that she picked this one out for me; it flowed so well and I felt like a princess all night. The event was a black-tie affair, and I got so many compliments on the dress. The slit's not too high, even though I wore shorts underneath to be safe. The top fit like a glove, and the dress was wonderful for dancing.

Classy
This dress is really nice - it is a bit of a heavy material, but it's pretty. My only 2 complaints: the dress runs really large; the 2 was actually too big, so I didn't end up wearing it. The zipper was also strange on the side, and it folded in a weird way, but that could be possibly due to the fact that the dress was too large. It's not as form fitting as I would have liked either, but again, the dress runs large. I usually wear a 2, sometimes a 4, and the 2 was still too big.

Didn't Wear :(
The dress itself is beautiful, but it runs SO SMALL. I can sometimes fit into a size 2, occasionally I wear a 4. But the 4 was still too tight, and I wasn't able to wear it. It's such a classy gown, though, so it would have been perfect for my formal event. However, RTR was super awesome and was able to get me a different gown overnight, and I still ended up with a great dress! RTR stylists are literally the best.

Unique. But TAPE important!
The cut for this dress was really interesting, but I did need lots of fashion tape to hold it in place. Also, it was a bit baggy/boxy on the top, and the bottom part was a bit more snug and shorter than I had expected it to be. It wasn't my favorite RTR dress, but the cut was unique enough that I got a few "oh, cool" comments.

The perfect splash of color for summer!
The dress was pretty true to size - not too snug when it's put on. The colors are even more vibrant in person! The dress is pretty short - with my hands at my sides, my fingertips reached the hem of the dress (was going to wear it for a professional event, and was deemed too short to), but perfect for a party dress, especially in the summer. Really comfortable, waistline was perfect; just a fun dress overall!
