I wore the dress for a party and got a million compliments! The color is a showstopper but the material between the boob area and the collar is long so it showed a good bit of side boob in the armholes. I have breastfed 3 babies so Mama can't go braless! I had to improvise and safety pin the collar so it was tight and higher on my neck to pull the arm holes up about 2 inches. I'm 5'7" and have a long torso and long arms and legs so i don't think I'm particularly short between neck to breasts. If you rent, bring safety pins just in case you need to do the same thing! I loved the fit because it wasn't too clingy but it could have been a little more fitted. My mommy tummy is my problem area so I chose this dress because it wasn't tight. I still wore Spanx and could've sized down to a 2 (I normally go between a 4 and 6) and looked fine.

I wore this for a cocktail party thrown when my Rodan + Fields team hit Lexus so it was a very special and important night. I just had a baby 3 months ago so I'm self conscious about my tummy and my boobs are huge from breastfeeding. The dress was lovely, but I had really high expectations so it wasn't quite up to par. It showed my "baby bump" and despite the Spanx, I still felt like I looked unattractive. The color is more muted than I hoped - more of a blue red than an orange red. It was tough to find a bra for this dress because of the cut out in the back so I ended up going bra-less. The dress was structured and tight so it worked and looked fine, but you may not be comfortable with going without a bra. The length of the dress was great, and it definitely stood out in photos!
