Beautiful concept but just not the one
I loved the idea of this gown and had high hopes that the plunging neckline would add some drama to what could otherwise have been a boring maxi dress. Unfortunately there was just too much I didn't like about this one. The material is a drapey washed silk feel beautiful but not lined, it didn't seem sheer but could be clingy. The size 8 was super tight at the ribs and blouse-y with the deep plunge so that I would have needed to pin or tape the top down. The L was super long compared to other L dresses I've ordered from here so you'll need platform or Higher heels if your 5'9" or under. The green was gorgeous though and worth a try this just didn't work for my body!

Sexy but comfortable
This gown was stunning. Nice heavy satin look provided enough structure and the wrap effect at the waist made this a dress where you could get away with no spanx! The 6L and 8L both fit but as a long torso girl I found the 8L darting and straps hit my body at better points than the 6L so size up if you're similar. Was able to wear 85mm heels without it being too long. Was able to wear a regular strap plunge front bra with it. I found the split design to be super comfortable as well as sexy. Easy to walk and sit in and it's cut in a way that it doesn't totally open up and risk flashing!

Edgy black-tie diamonds
I feel like the earrings I rent always end up being larger than I expect but these were still manageable and not too heavy. The gunmetal setting can pair easily with your other gold or silver items. The center stone reads a little cool/blue to me but not enough to throw your look off. A great option for a classic formal earring with a little edge!

Beautiful dress. Did not fit!
This was my back-up. Usually in this brand I can size down to a 6 and if it's going to be tight it would be at the hips. However his dress fit like a glove until my ribs. I could not get it all the way zipped and I'm a b/c cup. It felt way too tight in the rib-cage area (in the photo it is not zipped all the way) so definitely include your normal size when you order. The dress itself is cut like a custom fitted dress and is extremely flattering. The colors are unique but there is enough black that it's easy to match shoes. The material is a thick brocade type with metallic threads which I feel makes it more suited for evening formal affairs. For the price and quality of this brand it is definitely one you should consider!

Chic and Sexy
Wore to a black-tie where I didn't want to be in a full length gown. The material is a rich thick silky satin that has a nice low sheen without being "shiny". Didn't wrinkle from sitting and I was even able to slip my iPhone in the pocket for a bit without worry. The top is not bright white, maybe more between white and ivory, really beautiful. As for the fit - only the 6 was available, it was snug at the waist and top but not uncomfortable. The skirt is forgiving on the stomach and hips so you're safe without your spanx! If I was a little larger in the bust I probably would have needed to go with the 8 so I would say go with the size you would for a fitted top. At my height it was nice to see the skirt still hit below the knee making it more formal than an above the knee cocktail dress. Paired it with the RTR Tova midnight emerald cluster earrings for a pop of color.

Perfect pop of blue-green for black-tie
This mix of blue and greenish rhinestones was the perfect pop of color for a black-tie event where I wanted to bring a little bit of spring to my black and white dress. The earrings were light and comfortable with a wide supported back that kept them in place. Colors were exactly as pictured on the site.
