I was obsessed with this dress from the moment I came across it on this site. Initially I felt it wasn't glamorous enough for a gala, but the color... Oh this color will make you glow! I'm still getting compliments on this dress! The bust area does run really small and although I have a small bust, I'm wide in that area. For a moment I was worried it wouldn't fit! Had a lovely time getting this zipped, but with a great bustier and no breakfast or dinner, it'll fit!! :-). If you want to be super safe, order your back-up size, a size up from your regular size (in R if you are about 5'6"/5'7" and wearing heels). I wore flat sandals so the dress swept the floor, but I never tripped over the hem that night. I gave it 5 stars because this dress will make you feel absolutely beautiful. Now about RTR - My last rental experience wasn't great but I love the idea of renting a beautiful, great quality dress for a special event. (I never have to worry about storing or disposing of a dress I'll NEVER wear again), so I decided to try RTR again. I rented 3 dresses to be safe because I'm super picky and have been looking forward to this night all year. I didn't want anything to go wrong. Thank you RTR! I felt great in your dress the entire night. I started 2013 with 2 broken legs and didn't think I'd make this event let alone dance at it, but I didI I looked great, felt great and had a blast. RTR gave me peace of mind and for that I say again...Thank You! :-). Now you guys need new more dresses cuz I'd like to rent again next year, for the same event ;-)

I wanted a dress for New Years that wasn't very formal, had glitter all over it or was just too short (sensitive about ma knees!)...didn't want a long dress either so I was REALLY nervous about the length of this dress and boy was I HAPPY when I put it on! It fit perfectly in all the right places and I have wide shoulders and athletic thighs...short cute dresses NEVER fit! Thanks RTR! This dress made a crappy night fashionably crappy and I got lots of compliments on the dress.
