The arm placement is awkward
so sad about this dress! The arm placement digs into you and its so painful. Wish It would've worked out

Such a Charmer Dress

Lovely Drop earrings
Despite being very large, the earrings were not heavy. Usually my ears are sore after wearing large dangling earrings but not with these. The color isn't as vivid as pictured. Looked more black than midnight blue .

Birthday Blues!
Dress runs true to size, with a tight fitted waistband. I went up a size so my boobs wouldn't be flattened. But I fit in the 10, just chose to wear the looser 12

Fabulous mother of the bride dress
Fits perfectly. Glides over curves and flatters. My mother felt like a queen. Had her red carpet moment.

My sister felt gorgeous
Rented it for my sister to wear at my wedding . She loved it and didn't want to return it! It has some stretch to it so if you're between sizes or you're busty, then you'll love this dress.

Reception wedding dress!
This is hard for me review because I had to go up a few sizes just to fit my boobs! The smaller size fit my body but wouldn't go past my my boobs. So if you're busty, size up a LOT! The dress was baggy, but I pinned it and got tons of compliments when I changed out of my ball gown wedding dress into this dress! It's light and easy to wear.

Never got my black swan moment
Ordered this dress for my bachelorette weekend, but it never came. I know I would've loved it. Wish I could've worn it!

**UPDATE** RTR came thru & made it right. We're still BFF's, lol The drama of the wrong dress
This wasn't my original choice for my bachelorette party. I was shipped two black tie gowns instead of my short tulle cocktail dress. Luckily I was flying to Vegas and was able to switch out the gowns for this dress at the RTR store inside the Cosmopolitan (had to pay the difference of $60 bucks, which sucked because it wasn't my fault that they only had two dresses in the whole store that were my size, and that THEY had sent me the wrong dress). Besides all the tears of thinking I'd be dress less for my bachelorette weekend, and dealing with the unexpected expense, I really loved this dress. It's so light and airy.. It has a slight stretch to it, which is why I was able to fit my 36 H boobs in it, lol. Didn't want to give it back. :)

Didn't get to wear it
curve hugging dress. I wish i could have worn it, but the top ruching laid weird on my bust. I wouldn't recommend it if you have more than a DD cup size.

...
If you have a large bust, like myself, 36F, then I suggest you go up a size or two. I ordered this dress in a ten and 8, and it zipped up in both, UNTIL it reached my boobs, lol. so I didn't get to wear it! Sad face. I ended up wearing my backup dress. The dress is Gorgeous though.
