Gorgeous, comfortable dress

This dress is so easy to wear - it's demure, but the lace gives it a little sexiness. It's definitely a fitted piece, so worth getting a backup size one larger if you prefer an easier fit (though I think the sizing is right on)

Great piece - really unusual!

This piece has great drama to it - it has a nice weight to it that means it sits flush against the neckline, and the pearl with gold goes really well with colorful pieces

This dress definitely fits large - it's worth going down a size to get the right fit

This was a great, basic statement piece. It wasn't too heavy, so it was comfortable to wear as well.

Gorgeous, comfortable dress - very sexy

This dress was a great pick for new year's - I prefer a little more room to move, so I ended up wearing the larger size (6), although the degree of stretch means that you can be a bit flexible on the sizing. I found that the 4 (my usual size) was both very fitted and (because of the fitted-ness) a bit shorter, and I was more comfortable in the 6. The stretch makes the dress really comfy, but it's a heavy fabric, so it's not too revealing.

This dress was huge - it wouldn't stay on my shoulders. It's a pretty color (dark blue) and fabric, but I couldn't wear it.

Pretty party dress - great fit

This dress fits really nicely, especially for a straight up and down or athletic body type (like me). The top is low and quite fitted with minimal stretch, so I suspect it would be better for ladies with smaller busts (I'm a 32-34 A-B) It's tough to wear a strapless bra underneath because of the low back, but I found a stick on bra (nubra type) worked really well and didn't show. The skirt isn't too fitted, so it's a nice contrast with the fitted top half.

Great cut/color, but clingy!

I loved the cut of this dress, and the color. The cut is extremely flattering, with the under-bust band hitting the narrowest part of the body and creating a slimming effect. However, the fabric was a little bit of a worry for me. It's very thin and clingy, meaning that the dress really shows every lump and bump (the fabric especially clings at the rear.)

Cute little dress, great color

I rented a 4, which ran a little large for me (I'm usually a 2, but figured I'd go up a size given that it's a fitted dress and I wanted to wear it all day and be comfy underneath a graduation gown.) So, I'd say it fits very true to size. Though the fabric is stretchy, the top is quite structured (bust darts.) Because I'm small-busted, I had a bit of extra room up top, and had to wear an extra-padded bra to fill out the top. The dress is a beautiful color (the picture is very true to the shade) but the fabric looks a little cheaper than I expected - very obviously synthetic. To me this was the only real downside.

Weird fit

This dress really didn't fit me. It hung very low underneath the arm on the left side (when looking at the model) virtually exposing my entire bust. It would have been impossible to wear, I was disappointed and ended up wearing something else.

I loved the easy fit of this dress (it fits like a loose column, and I went up a size to avoid clinginess) and the sequins are really pretty. However, I ended up with scratches under both arms from the sequins - painful!

This dress is great - it's fabulously comfortable, draped beautifully, and runs true to size. I'm of medium height (5'6'') and I wore this with big heels (4'') and I rented a long version, so I'd recommend doing this if you're tall or of medium height and planning to wear big shoes. The hook closure below the arm does scratch a little, so it may be worth using a little tape underneath the closure to make it more comfy.

I ordered a 2 and a 4 (I'm usually between the two), and the dress was too large in the bust (I'm small-chested) and the 4 was too big, and the 2 was a little tight in the empire band. I ended up wearing a different dress and though the draped skirt is pretty, on me it was a little long. It would probably fit someone who's petite in the high waist, with a fuller bust, a little better.

Weird fit

This dress really didn't fit me. The low back and bustle were really cute, but the front was strangely tight in some places (very high on the neck, and cut in) and baggy in others (around the stomach.) I was disappointed in the dress and wore something else

Love this purse, especially to add a pop of color to a black outfit. A warning: You'll need to edit down the things you take with you, as the minaudiere doesn't hold much, but it's a really pretty clutch.

Gorgeous color, weird fit

I really wanted to love this dress, but ended up feeling only so-so on it. As other comments have mentioned, the dress does end up being shorter than shown on the model, and sometimes the underside of the dress is visible at the hem. The fabric is really flattering (as is the cinching of the dress under the bust) but the cut wasn't quite right for my athletic body type.

Love it - favorite RTR dress!

This is far and away my favorite RTR dress. I wore it for a day wedding and absolutely loved the fit. The top is fitted, and the drape of the skirt makes it elegant. The print is also very subtle, but pretty. I would buy this dress!
