Dramatic dress, but not for busty gals
Having a larger bust just fills up the fabric of the drapey front, and pulls closed the deep V plunge that makes the dress so phenomenal. On me, it looked rather dumpy. Still, a gorgeous dress, and would look smashing on someone with the right build.

Transparent, yet elegant
Important reviewer tip: **This dress is almost completely see-thru. You WILL need a slip of some sort.** Other than that, gorgeous pattern, silky fabric, and the elegant, billowy fit made this a beautiful dress. Also, mine did not arrive with a belt, so be aware that the dashing red belt shown on the model is not included.

The best dress I've ever rented. Bar none.
Form-fitting without showing anything unflattering, classically simple with a ton of unique detail - I have no idea how this dress managed to combine so many fantastic qualities at once. I've never received more compliments on anything from RTR than this dress, and was even stopped on the street by multiple strangers to comment on the dress.

Feminine silhouette with great details
Got a ton of complements on this dress. The color is great, and the material is a unique thick mesh that's almost like a glamorous version of a gym class pinney. One thing to note about the dress: the inner lining is only about the length of a mini, so you're showing a bit more leg (albeit in a rather modest way) than one might think here.

Elegant & sophisticated with a striking silhouette
I think I received more compliments on this RTR dress than any other! Highly recommend this dress for anyone feeling self-conscious about their tummy. It elegantly poofs in all the right places to hide any insecurities about your bottom half. It does run small from about the ribcage down, however - I could barely zip it up even after ordering a size up. This dress is phenomenally well-constructed, too. The pictures make it look simple, but it really does stand out.

Comfortably glamorous dress.
You can't quite see in the photos, but it had a material like a very, very thin sweater. It was immensely comfortable and really stood out due to its color and pattern. The dress wasn't see-thru, but I would recommend wearing spanx underneath given that the dress itself isn't very structured.

Vibrant, feminine dress that I wore to a Kentucky Derby party.
Pros: The dress has a beautiful silhouette, excellent construction, and vibrant color. Cons: WOW was there cleavage on this dress - to a degree far more than other photos indicated. I needed to wear a shawl for the family portion of my event. Also, while the black straps do a lot to keep the dress in place, they give it a bit of a "I'm wearing a sports bra under my gown" look. Several people asked me what they were throughout the night, commenting that they looked a bit odd.

Wore this dress to Easter Vigil mass, and it was a classy stunner.
One warning: this was very tight in the arms, and I really don't have very big guns! That said, the snugness actually creates a flattering, form-fitted effect, but I did need help zipping it up. The color is beautiful and vibrant - sort of a deep cornflower blue.
