Cute
It didn't wow me, but it's a good dress. I think it would be better for someone taller than I am, but I am really short. I am 5'2".

This dress is so ugly.
This was sent to me as a replacement dress, because the one I ordered was out of stock. I would not have picked this dress. It was really, really ugly.

Flattering fit
I am 5'2" with a 34G bra and hips. It is not easy to find a dress that is flattering and curve-hugging without making me look like a heifer. This fit the bill. It was elegant, and yet it also managed to be sexy in a non-obvious way. I actually went online afterwards to see if I could buy this dress to add to my permanent wardrobe.

Dress up, dress down.
It was cold outside, and we were going to be walking around. I wanted to look GOOD for my birthday, but I didn't want to freeze. And with the amount of walking we were going to be doing, I wanted to wear flats. The photo I am posting sucks, but I loved the fact that this could be paired with pants and flats for a dressy but comfortable outfit.

Photogenic dress
I almost didn't wear this. I thought it looked boxy on me and that the fabric was doing a weird pulling thing around the boobs. But I had to wear some peacock-themed accessories for that particular party, and this was the only dress I had with me that even remotely worked. So glad I wore it! While I do not have access to all of the photos to post here, the dress ended up looking really good in photos. I had a dress that I ended up changing into halfway through the night that I thought looked better in the mirror, but this was the one that actually looked best in photos—flattering and not boxy at all. I was really bloated that night, and this hid it well. And I was apparently the only one to notice the weird pulling thing it was doing around the boobs.

Lovely for a winter event
I got this due to the long sleeves and nice colors. Very lovely. I ended up not wearing it, as it was too casual for the intended event, but it would have been a great daytime function. I am currently wearing a lot of size 12 in most things but found that I am between a 10 and 12 in this.

Perfect!
Just the right amount of sparkle, and they are NOT heavy. They felt really comfortable to wear and went with just about everything.

Stunning! And perfect for tiny wrists.
I have such a hard time finding bangles that fit, but this was perfect! (No bad purrrrfect puns here!) And just the right amount of bling to add some pop without overwhelming a small person. I actually wish I owned this, as I will be getting it repeatedly. Unfortunately, it's no longer for sale in the retail world, so RTR will have to remain my go-to source.

Just didn't love it.
I may be biased against this, because I have tiny wrists, and it was just too big on me. But apart from that, it was just not hitting the mark for me. Hard to say why.

Shiny!
It's a great piece. It was a wee bit small around my neck, so I should have paid closer attention to the length. But that actually worked out really well, as I ended up wearing it with a dress that came up to my neck and that needed just a bit of bling at the top.

Cute but heavy
I liked these, but they were really heavy for my ears. I also got the Crislu Classic Lady Earrings, and I liked the sparkle and weight on those a bit better.

Way too small.
I tend to run medium in most things to medium/large. I would have needed an XL in this, if they made it. But it's shiny with pretty colors!

Runs a wee bit tight in the bosom area
I am normally an 8/10, and this barely fit in the chest. I do have an E/F cup, however, so that is part of the problem. So okay, it's just a bit tight in the chest, right? Well, the other problem is that the seams aren't very well made, so the silk lining rises and shows. If it weren't so tight in the chest, it might drape better, then the silk lining might not creep up. (You can see the silk lining at the top of the dress in two of my photos.) But even if you are small chested and won't have that drape issue, the seems could be better; even at the bottom of the dress, the silk lining was sometimes creeping down and showing. This is less than ideal in a $200 dress, let alone a $2,000 dress! Still, the colors are pretty, and the pattern is distinctive.

Beautiful but maybe not for busty ladies
Most people described this as true to size; in the torso and hips, it was. I normally wear a size 8 in most brands, sometimes a size ten, but in this dress, both were too tight in the chest. I've got an E/F cup bosom and a true hourglass shape. I had hoped this would be more accomodating of that, and a Size 12 might have been fine, but the size 8 and 10 were just too tight in the chest.

Poochie poochie coo!
This is a solid all-around dress. The one downside is that the fabric isn't as sturdy as it appears, and my pooch was clearly visible, which isn't what you'd expect for such a modest, non-clingy dress. You'll definitely need the appropriate undergarments for it. Overall, I'll say that I wasn't wowed by the dress, but it would be appropriate for a relatively staid affair.

Holy boobies, batman!
I am a busty woman. While I had read the reviews and knew that this would be revealing, I hadn't understood just how revealing it would be. If I were headed to a romantic tête-à-tête with a man I intended to seduce, it would have been perfect. It was flattering to my E-cups and held me in while still being really revealing, which is hard to accomplish with the mountainous terrain of my body. In addition to winning the fight against gravity, it was also incredibly flattering for my hourglass shape. That said, it was REALLY revealing, and my gay roommate said he'd never had such a hard time tearing his eyes off a woman's bosom prior to that moment. I ended up not wearing it for our party, as I looked like a hooker. A really high-class hooker, but a hooker all the same.
