Very flattering and forgiving dress in a great color
Loved this one so much I wish I could buy it: the cut is great and the fabric is stretchy and forgiving.

Incredibly flattering gown
I *loved* this gown: I felt amazing in it and got a ton of compliments. The lace overlay and sleeve make this black gown feel special. Note that the front is cut VERY low though, too low for the event i was attending so I had to pin the front to make it less plunging.

Very pretty but long, and a true wrap dress
Wore this for a nice dinner out and felt appropriately elegant in it. It's a beautiful light silk, perfect for a hot night. It is quite long in the back though; I'm 5'8" and had to wear heels to make sure the back didn't drag on the ground. Also, it's a proper wrap dress so I had to hold it closed while walking.

Pretty dress, great for hourglass figures
Wore this to a graduation. The lace detailing is beautiful. It's a good thick material. The only note is that it has no stretch or give.

Gorgeous gown but runs long
Wore this to dinner after my law school graduation and LOVED it! It fit beautifully, the colors are lovely, and I felt very elegant and pretty in it. As others have noted though it is long; I'm 5'8" and was wearing 2.5-inch heels and the back still grazed the ground.

Fun and flattering dress
Wore this when the dress I had originally selected didn't get sent. RTR was great about overnighting this dress and honestly I'm glad I wore it instead. It's super flattering, really pretty and fun, great for a summer wedding. A note though that if you're long in the torso (which I am), the lines part of the dress is *short*. It ended right below my bum. I just wore spanx under it and the last tier is loose enough that no one could notice but worth knowing.

Unique dress that photographs really well, though perhaps better suited to day events.
I was honestly a bit concerned when I received this because the material wasn't as dressy as I was hoping for, it's a bit better suited to day events. And while the dress fits true to size, it definitely hugs if you're curvier like me, so trying it on without shapewear made me feel like the weave of it was highlighting lumps. That said, on the day of the wedding, with Spanx on underneath, I felt great in this and it looked beautiful. It's color and overall style are unique, so you'll definitely stand out. If you're confident in your body and looking for a visually interesting dress for a semi-formal event, I would recommend it.
