This was the first RTR fail for me. :(
I am usually a size 6 or 8, so I ordered a 44 and 46 as my backup. I tried on the 44 and there was no slip with it, and the thing is completely transparent! Luckily the 46 had a slip. However, the slip and dress had so much static that it was unwearable, despite the fact that I used dryer sheets and anti-static spray to try to help. Nothing would get rid of the tons of static! Also, even the size 44 was at least 2 sizes too big. To make matters worse, neither dress had the belt with it.

Gorgeous, stand-out color!
This dress definitely worked well for a somewhat-chilly mid-April wedding in Wisconsin. The fabric has many layers so it kept me really warm even though it is strapless. The color is gorgeous and vibrant and the size 6 fit me perfectly. (I usually wear a 6 or medium in dresses and a 6 or 8 in pants.) The thick fabric was also nice because it allowed me to go bra-less (though larger-chested girls may still want to wear a bra). The belt is a nice accent, but it kept slipping open, almost completely coming un-done! There are no holes to keep it fastened, so even though it wasn't skin-tight or anything, it still kept trying to slip open. So, I had to constantly be aware of it and fix it on occasion throughout the night. Other than that one issue, this dress was a fantastic rental!

Way too heavy. :(
I wore these earrings to a wedding and although they are very very pretty, they kept sliding off my earlobe. (They are clip-ons.) After much frustration, including one instance of one completely falling off as I danced, I took them off and put them in my purse the rest of the night. Such a shame, because they're so pretty! I'd wear them again, but only if they weren't clip-on earrings.

Perfect dress to dance in!
This dress flowed so wonderfully when twirling and dancing at my company's holiday party! The color is divine and the length is perfect. The faux-wrap is very flattering as well. The only issue I had with this dress is that the material felt cheap and the pleats on both sizes I got were a tad messed up (some refused to fold on their creases!) in some areas. I got a TON of compliments on the dress and would definitely recommend it!

Wonderful dress for a winter affair!
I wore this dress to a January wedding in Florida and I'm so happy with my choice! The sleeves are the perfect length and the trim on the lace is feminine without an "old lady" look. The length of the skirt just hit my knees (I am 5'6"). The pockets meant I didn't have to bring a purse with me! I had only two issues with this dress: First, the size 4, which fit me much better, had lots of issues with the lace - some curves would bend over itself, some of the lace had big holes in it, and the trim on the lace was uneven. I had to wear the size 6, which still fit fine but was loose around my waist and chest. The other downside of this dress is that it is slightly pleated off of the hip, making my hips look a bit wider than they already are. However, I still got plenty of compliments on the dress and had a great time wearing it!

Great cocktail party dress!
I wore this to a company holiday party and got compliments all night! I ordered the large and medium sizes and the medium fit perfectly. The only complaint is that the photo makes it seem like the slip is a nude color when it's really almost a shade of purple. Other than that, it was a fantastic dress!
