Bright, Classic, Comfortable, Fun
Note: My sister wore this dress! She wears a four, so it's true to size. Carolina Herrera presented their fall collection as a fundraiser in our hometown, so I gave my sissy one of my four update rentals to wear to the show! She looked great in it. She's 5'10", and length was appropriate. She likes to accentuate her shoulders, so tank-top neckline accomplished that, while cut-outs and rouching helped define her straight waist. I wanted her to buy it to keep it looked so good!

Great color and size
I rented this to fit my laptop and a notebook for some job interviews. I felt understated but professional. Really happy with it and tempted to buy.

A little big
I wanted something stylish and lightweight for the transitional March weather. The coat is a little bulky and not very memorable after all.

Many compliments and loved the flow
As others have mentioned, the knot leaves a small gap--I wore a camisole underneath to combat this. Somehow I didn't realize dress is silk. I am not a silk girl. The wrinkles frustrate me. But it flowed wonderfully and I felt feminine and like a standout.

Big, edgy
I had to get a second pair shipped because the first arrived broken. I paired with low neck, solid color dress. The black metal gave an otherwise floral design an edgier feel. Really loved and would wear for many other occasions.

A dream...for longer torso
I had read how the straps are long on this dress, but it was perfect on me. Often dresses will be too short in the top on my longer torso, so this was actually just right. Color rightly hued teal. I loved the fabric, the low neckline. Highly recommend to feel subtly glam.

Exactly what I hoped for!
I have eyed this dress for probably a couple years and finally had just the right event to wear it. I wore the 2 because the 4's top was baggy. I have broader shoulders and wear a 34B, so I'm not tiny up top, but not buxom either. The waist hit just right, which is rare on me, because I'm on the taller side and often find dresses are too short waisted. I received a ton of compliments and overall felt awesome. So happy I finally got to wear the Ring Around!

Exceeded expectations
I'm sucking in in the pic and you can still see hips, thighs, etc, so don't expect your body to appear airbrushed in this dress. I still feel amazing in it. It's a backup to a backup, and I'm super happy with it. The cutouts on the side go a little more front and back than I expected, so more skin peeking out than I'd prepared for. I'm still really happy. I'll also add that in my mid 30s I'm more conservative typically, and I feel the level of sexy is still appropriate. Worn to a post-rehearsal-dinner cocktail party on the beach.
