The fun sleeves got a million compliments- and the short length made it great for dancing!
This is a really comfortable dress - especially if you are narrow through the hips and waist. Due to the big sleeves (which are really fun and unique!) it can make you look linebacker-ish if you tend to be broad already so be forewarned- but if you have a narrow profile it's super flattering- and if you want to accentuate your legs this is the dress for you. I originally paired it with nude cork peeptoe wedges- which I liked best, but as it was an afternoon wedding and evening reception and they weren't the most comfortable shoes I ended up wearing a tall black strappy platform for comfort reasons. The raspberry color of the dress is unique and fun and the fabric is very flattering- I loved this dress and got a ton of compliments on the cool sleeves! Went with a sparkly necklace and diamond earrings and kept my wrists bare and felt like that worked. Loved the dress and you can't beat the price!!! Highly recommend!

Kentucky derby party on a beautiful night!
Dress ran true to size. Though I'm petite, since having kids my rib cage expanded, necessitating a larger size in dresses which are fitted through the torso. This dress was super comfortable, easy to wear with a bra, and the cute bit of flair at the bottom gives it some interest. For as thick as the fabric seems it IS a bit more see through than you'd think- you have to carefully select underwear and if you are used to wearing spanks I don't know that they would work with this dress- really wearing nothing under it is best if you want it to lie best/most smoothly. The design is very flattering - creating the illusion of a waist if you have an athletic build with no waist and no hips like me. I'd recommend this to anyone!

Having only 5 minutes to put on the dress- and that's all you need with this beauty!!!
I'm petite but have a huge ribcage after having three big babies- so oftentimes struggle with zipping up formal gowns through the ribs. This dress is open in the back so it wasn't an issue! It was so nice to step away from black and really stand out in something bold yet tasteful and current. The double layer of fabric up top meant that I didn't have to wear a bra and the fabric is incredibly forgiving- I didn't wear any compression wear so was so comfortable all night!,the dress is long, I'm just under 5'3 and I had to go buy the very tallest pair of platforms I could find at nordstroms have it be *just* at floor length. The back is open and very sexy! I kept jewelry simple with a drop earring, no necklace and a sparkly wrist. The only bad part about this dress was having to send it back! I can't tell you how many compliments I got on it- this ones a winner in terms of both looks and comfort. Thanks RTR!
