Soooo pretty and not as flashy as you would think!
These were truly beautiful! I was iffy on the size since they are soooo big, but they were the perfect modest piece that really stood out but did not look hokey and gaudy. I wore these for several hours and didn't notice that they hurt at all until I started thinking about it and wondering why they didn't hurt - then I just noticed them. So try not to think about it! They stayed on solidly all night even though I turned in before I could try them out on the dance floor. A great piece that I wish I could find for pierced ears!

Awkward fit, but unique dress
I ordered this dress in a size 8 and 12 because the 10 was not available. The 12 was far too large in the top, but oddly tight in the bottom. The 8 was ok in the top, but I couldn't pull the skirt down over my large hips. I doubt the 10 would have been better since the 12 was tight on the bottom. I just think I am too awkwardly shaped to fit this dress, so if you are pear shaped, this is probably not the one for you unless you can fit the bottom and use fashion tape on the top. It was really a shame since this dress is really unique, and I love the sleeves. They are actually very open and flowy, and not as modest as the picture appears. Maybe I can order this again if I lose some weight in my bottom half!

Would have looked nice if it fit
This was sent to me as a back up for a dress that, at the last minute, was discovered to be damaged. This is what designers sent instead. It is really not my style, but as it was the only thing I had, I tried it on anyway. I guess it would have looked good on me if it wasn't so huge. I usually wear a 12-14 and this was a 12...it was HUGE! Everything about it. Although the dress overall was actually pretty lovely, I kind of wish it did fit. I might actually order this for another occasion should I get the opportunity, but in an 8-10.

Beautiful and elegant bling.
I really loved this piece of jewelry! It was so dazzling and did not feel uncomfortable AT ALL! I barely noticed it was there. It is also not too flashy when paired with the recommended lacy dress I got it with, and I'm really not one to wear overly shiny and "blinged-out" jewelry. I would definitely get this again.

Beautiful dress, but much too large.
I am usually between sizes 12 and 14 on this site. It's kind of a problem since a lot of "normal" dresses only go up to size 12, and these "curvy" sized dresses (is this the same as "plus size?") start at 14. The main issue that I didn't realize is that THIS dress's size 14 is much larger than a non-plus size dress's 14. It looked like a circus tent on me. I'm sure it would have been lovely had it fit, but sadly it did not.

While beautiful, I ended up deciding not to wear it.
This was a very beautiful necklace. However, when I paired it with the dress that I ordered, it ended up not looking quite right. I wore a different necklace instead. But the necklace was affordable enough that I did not regret getting it in the end. Now I know what it looks like, I would get it again if I felt that I was going to get a dress that it would go with.

Flattering for plus-sized ladies!
I wore this to my boyfriend's office party at the aquarium. I was worried about the fit because I am borderline plus-size; sometimes I'm a 12, sometimes a 14, and the largest size in this dress is 12. It fit a little snug around the hips and I had to keep pulling the slip down since it is shorter to begin with, but overall I really liked it. I felt like the most beautiful one there, and certainly the most classy! The sleeves are just lovely, and the dress was comfortable temperature-wise. The other reviews really helped by saying this dress is pretty true to size. I am very small in the bust but have a larger rib cage and it still fit well all around. The dress itself was in great condition. I seriously wanted to keep this dress since it's hard to find fashionable but flattering pieces in the larger sizes! The whole RTR experience was awesome, I will be renting from them again! Thanks RTR!
