I wore this for my holiday/birthday party and got compliments all night!
This dress is a showstopper. While not overly bilingy, the sparkle of the deep red is beautiful. FYI, the dress has no stretch, so if you are hippy like me, you may want to size up for your backup size. I wore it with a beige bra. I highly recommend it! #holiday #birthday

Gorgeous dress with a nice detail around the neck. I think it's appropriate for many occasions.
This dress was a hit. The fabric is on the thicker side so it hugs your curves but doesn't show everything. The seam at the top of the black dress did keep coming up, so I had to iron it to keep it down. I wore this to a work event, so I had to be mindful that the area in the chest didn't open too wide. I definitely would wear this again.

This fall dress is perfect for an evening wedding or party. Gorgeous pattern and color.
The skirt was a bit poofier than I thought, but overall, for an outdoor, fall wedding, the heavy material was perfect. The green is also pretty shiny, but I was getting compliments all evening. This dress has no stretch and is fitted in the torso.

This dress is very festive. The colors photograph well, and I got compliments all night.
The material is a bit heavy, so it's probably not great for a super hot day. I also don't think if you are particularly large-chested that it would work for you, as it fit me exactly.

A must try (looks MUCH better in person)! Dress made me feel incredibly pretty on my birthday!
This dress had zero hanger appeal for me, but when I tried it on, it transformed! I wore this for my winter birthday party and I LOVED it. After the dress I originally ordered from RTR came in via mail was way too short in the torso, in a panic I made an appointment at RTR's Soho showroom the day before my event. After trying on several dresses to no avail, we looked online at dresses I had browsed. I honestly didn't think I would like this DVF dress, but when I tried it on, I knew it was the right one. It's a little short, and I'm self conscious about my legs, but it wasn't TOO short. The 10 fit like a glove (I'm a bit heavier this time a year than I usually am), but I went up one size just to give myself a little more breathing room. I highly, highly recommend this dress. The compliments kept coming all night and everyone wanted to know where I got it. Unfortunately, because I was hosting the party, I was running around all night and had exactly 15 minutes to get ready due to some crazy NY subway issues, and taking a photo completely slipped my mind, which I truly regret. Trust me ladies, this dress is worth it. Also, if you do get a chance to visit a showroom, DO IT.

Great party dress for an evening out.
I loved this dress -- true to size, it hit right at the knee. The only thing is that the material is heavier than I thought it would be, so on a hot summer night, I had to ditch the shrug. It's super flattering and can be paired with all sorts of different jewelry (the zipper in the back is gold) and shoe combinations to be dressed up or down. I would buy it if I could. You really can't go wrong with Kate Spade.

Beautiful, sexy dress, perfect for many different occasions.
This dress was worn to a winter wedding with black tights, and it hugged all of the right places without being vulgar. The front is kind of low cut, but it was still tasteful. I got several compliments and would definitely consider wearing it again. Highly recommended!

Great color, but better for bustier ladies.
This dress ran a bit big - I ordered a size up, since I was a little heavier than normal. There is a lot of material in this dress, so it tended to be kind of bulky. The v is pretty high in the front, and the chest area was too baggy. I think a size down would have worked better, but it's super modest and perfectly appropriate for a wedding.

Gorgeous dress with no give.
This dress is incredibly flattering around the hips and waist for my pear shaped-ness, but unfortunately the top has no give and was just too tight around my arms, so I would have worn it, I would not have been able to raise my arms at all. I think a larger size might have been too big around the hips and ok around the arms.

Tons of compliments in this dress for a birthday party. Highly recommended for a fun night out.
First RTR experience, and it was great. The bust was a bit snug, but there was no fear of it falling down. The dress is very silky, light and airy, and the colors really pop. The pockets are definitely a plus. Loved it! This dress does not stretch though, so if in doubt, get the extra size.
