Perfect for a daytime work award ceremony!
Normally I wear a size 6 for most dresses, but I've gained a bit of weight in my pregnancy (in addition to the bump), so I sized up. The dress is comfortable, flattering, and conservative enough for a work event. Even though it's a shift dress, the room for the bump gives it the ever-so-slightest-A-line shape (which is so much more comfortable!)

Felt more confident than ever!
I have a pair shape, with smaller bust. Strapless dresses usually make me anxious because I don't have big enough "girls" to hold up the dress. That wasn't an issue with this one! The length made me feel elegant, and the shape was flattering all around. I received many compliments, especially on the detailed embroidery. I've always loved Rent the Runway, but this is the first time I've thought about actually purchasing the dress I rented because I loved it so much. This was such a much needed boost to my confidence- thank you!

Left something to be desired
I received this pair of earrings as mystery bling. While they were pretty, I wasn't aware that they would lie flat on one long gold rod, rather than be loose and flexible (making it difficult to wear with hair up). I also found them to be a bit heavier for my taste. As other reviewers mentioned, they did look nice against my dark hair.

I felt like a princess!
What an amazing dress, what an amazing night! I had tried on this gem when the Chicago RTR store first opened, thinking I would use it for an event for my wedding. I decided against it at the time and saved it for something later, and I'm so glad I rented it for my birthday dinner outing! I don't like the way my knees look, so I'm always looking for something elegant that doesn't cover up everything, but covers up what I want it to. Strapless is also usually a bit hard (I have a smaller bust), but I sized down and it fit perfectly. Highly recommend for your next date night- dress up a bit and have fun! :) I have a small bust, so I imagine women with larger busts might want to size up?

This is such a stunning dress, wore this for Valentine's Day date night! Lots of compliments!
I have a smaller chest, so the top was a little loose, but nothing too noticeable. Great comfort and definitely hid my flaws from the waist down. Would definitely recommend.

So mod
Loved this dress- wore it for my 6th anniversary dinner date with my boyfriend. Worn with black tights I felt like I was in the 1960's. Super comfortable with excellent, quality fabric. Would definitely recommend.

Gorgeous
I was sent this dress when a backup order didn't come through at the last minute. I didn't end up wearing it, as I preferred the other dress, but if I had an event, I definitely would've worn this one. (Great for hiding the hips!)

Too tight in the hips
If only the hips would've fit! Such a cute dress, but just didn't work for this pear shape. Recommended for slimmer ladies. Did not wear.

Not the best
This could've been a great dress, but it just didn't do the trick for me. I imagine the bright yellow would look wonderful on very tan or dark skin, but just my normal, SPF-ed olive tones didn't look good. Fit was okay, perhaps just a touch too short for my pear shape.
