A difficult fit up top
This dress was sent to me when my backup became unavailable at the last minute. I received it in a size 6 and a size 8, the two sizes I normally wear, but neither fit my 36DD bust properly. I felt much too showy in the size 6, yet the size 8 felt too big in the bust. Since I was attending a conservative work holiday party, neither of dresses worked out. Regardless of the sizing issue, the dress is very pretty - the fabric has a nice weight and beautiful, subtle pattern.

Wonderful sparkle!
I rented this dress for a black-tie-optional holiday party. It is beautiful while still being classy and conservative, which made it perfect for meeting my husband's co-workers. I usually wear a size 6 or 8, depending on the dress. I wore a size 6 in this dress, but would have been more comfortable in a size 8 (my back-up size became unavailable a few days before the party). The size 6 was a bit tight through my ribcage and bust, but I was able to deal with it for a few hours. On a side-note, when my backup size became unavailable, RTR sent me another dress in both a 6 and an 8, for no additional charge to ensure something would fit. Great customer service!

Beautiful, sparkly dress!
This dress was very figure flattering, falling around my curves without hugging them too tightly. The dark emerald color was beautiful and unexpected. The dress was a little bit heavy, but worth it to wear all of the sequins!

Not for a large bust
I love the style of this dress, but it unfortunately did not flatter my body. The waist of the dress sat too high, right under my bust, causing the whole look to be off. A larger size might have worked better, but based on my experience, I'd say this dress is not for someone with a large bust.

Cute and comfortable!
I rented this dress to wear for my vacation to Charleston, SC. I wore it one evening and loved it! It fit very well, not too snug but still showed off my figure. The material is a little heavy but breathes well so I wasn't too warm. I received lots of compliments! Would definitely wear it again!

Great little black dress!
I wore this to bar-hop for a bachelorette party (please excuse the green hair in the pictures, the theme of the party was Wicked). It was so cute and comfortable; I loved wearing it! I did decide to wear the size 8 instead of my normal size 6 because I thought the fit was better across my bust. I wish I owned this dress - I would wear it again and again!

Too form fitting for me
I rented this as a backup dress and luckily I did not need it. While it is pretty, it is very form fitting. I'd say I have an average body and this dress hugged every curve, including my tummy. Unless you are 100% comfortable with everything being on display like that (or sucking in your stomach all night), I would not recommend this dress.

Didn't flatter my body
I ordered this as a back-up dress, and luckily I didn't need it. It didn't flatter my body and I wasn't a big fan of the sleeves.

Fun dress!
I wore this dress for a cocktail attire party. It fit well - I did not feel like it was falling down, even though it is strapless. The flow of the skirt made it fun to move in. However, I do have a large bust, and this dress certainly showed that off, something to note if you would like to be more conservative. I ordered the size 8 and 10 since they say order a size up for a larger bust. The 10 did fit my bust better, but it was too large everywhere else, so I stuck with the 8.
