Flattering and got compliments!
Wire this to present at a luncheon, professional event. Perfect! Makes a statement and was flattering on my figure. Received lots of compliments and felt confident.

Gorgeous, dressier than you think
Thought this might be a fit for be to deliver a speech at a daytime luncheon. Too fancy for that, but I loved it. Hope to rent it for a dressier occasion in the future!

Comfortable, art deco elegance
So many compliments on the dress and its details and pop of color. It felt true to size and was not tight. With the length and my shorter height, I wore 3" heels. Worked well.

hard to maneuver
Once I got it on, it looked ok, not great. But getting out of it was a bit of an ordeal. It is a unique cut and design, but that made it difficult to position and get in and out. Decided not to wear it.

a bullseye on my worst area
I self-identify as an apple shape -- this did not work as the pleats drew all the attention to that area. Liked the fabric and design, just an absolute no to wear out of the house.

fit like a glove - a nice one
Being 5'3", not many formal dresses work for me lengthwise. This dress was just right with my 2.5" heels. Danced all night and felt confident. My only complaint is that there were a lot of sequin pulls and loose threads when it arrived. We made it work, but I wonder how it holds up over time.

I am so sad this dress didn't work out. Much too low cut and the lace catches - watch out!
This dress is a stunner on the hanger -- also a stunner when you see your chest so exposed. It ran small so this was an added and compounded problem with the plunging neckline. Also -- be careful with your shoes, I practiced dancing in it, and it felt like my heel would catch - among other things throughout a party. Lovely, and I'm sad it didn't work out.

Just not the right look or mood for the cocktail party. Lovely pattern and cut, would rent again.
The pattern and fabric are very light - almost see through. That being said, if it was an outdoor wedding or spring party -- this would have been my choice for the event. Absolutely lovely cut and fit.

I found the dress to be skin tight -- though the cut and fabric were on point. Stunning!
The dress just didn't budge -- too tight and I would have been nervous the whole night and RTR didn't have a size up. If they had, this totally would have been the event choice. Absolute stunner of a dress.

Lovely dress & pattern, just not what was needed for the event. Gaped a bit in front, slit was high.
It would have needed a pin or two to keep in place -- but I loved the pattern of the fabric and dress as a whole.

Lovely dress, but just not as formal as I needed.
The bust would have needed some pinning for me. Loved the look - just not what was needed for our event.

I didn't have to pin it, I didn't have to worry about the slit. It felt high quality and I loved it!
Fit was perfect, color was stunning, fun to twirl in, didn't have to adjust it once. Five hour long party, and I felt as pretty walking in as I did dancing at the end of the night.
