Goofy photo from my husband's party, but shows most of the dress. I got compliments and I liked the sequins but I wasn't a fan of the cut. I have a short-ish waist and I prefer sheath to empire and this was close but more empire than I wanted. I wore a 4 which fit fine in the top but the skirt portion just wasn't cut well for me and not particularly flattering I didn't think. It is less fitted in the skirt and sort of flares out at the waist in a non-beneficial way. The length was fine about mid-thigh and age appropriate. The sequins were scratchy on the arms a bit but nothing that was a deal breaker. You need a helper to zip it up for sure as one functional note. Overall it was fine but I wouldn't wear it again which makes me SO glad it was just a rented dress.

Before I rented this dress I tried on the same style at a kate spade store so fit was just right - the top is where it's best to size because the skirt is a little more forgiving. The material is a cotton linen blend so after the number of dry cleanings the dress had had being a rental, it sort of showed the wear but no so much as to be an issue. It was a great dress for a Sonoma wedding, lots of compliments, couldn't have been happier. Thanks RTR!
