Perfect for a day-time Polo Tailgate/Wedding/Formal BBQ/Life
Well. I am obsessed with this dress. So much so, I am going to buy it. It was incredibly flattering and a great, light, soft material for a day-time summer event. My favorite part was the balance of the low cut front and the slightly-above-the-knee hemline. I didn't feel conservative or saccharine, but felt stylish and sophisticated. A few notes: There are a TON of tiny eyelet buttons. A bit of a pain to button/ unbutton, but a zipper would've messed with the lines of the back, where the fabric is ruched. The buttons were a great design element. I have really tiny arms and not the biggest chest and the sleeves and chest were *almost* too small for me in the 2. I could've sized up. Finally, this picture doesn't show the shoes, I wore nude, leather block heeled sandals.

Unique, flattering Jumpsuit- Perfect for a New England Island Wedding
I am small... shoulders, bust, arms, with lanky proportions. The 2R fit like a glove. I wore a bra, but I did not need to- The bra did poke a bit through the cutout, but it was a matter of a simple slight adjustment every so often. I paired it with yellow canvas, ankle-strap kitten heels and a burlap clutch, with minimal accessories (just a gold watch) the jump-suit, itself, was the statement piece. The culotte fell proportionally mid-calf. I always love the stuff from RTR, but I honestly want to buy this piece and wear it all the time. You will not be disappointed.

Unique look for a day-time party
This was actually not my first choice (my original dress was not returned to RTR on time), but it was fun to wear and I received a lot of compliments. As you can see- it was for a Derby Party. I have a small bust, and that worked to my favor. I can see the sheer middle and drape-y front being a challenge with someone better endowed than I. The fabric is very light and a bit see-through, so nude undergarments/pasties are a must. In regards to the size, the 2R fit my frame, but it was too short in the legs to wear with heels.

Unique and flattering dress- lots of compliments
Wore this to a late fall wedding, appropriate for ceremony and reception. It was 35 degrees this day, so my main concern was not being freezing. This dress delivered while being adorable, unique and flattering. The neoprene material kept me toasty warm (didn't even need a coat). I paired it with black semi-opaque tights and black 4" block heel booties. Many compliments ensued. The green translated a bit deeper, almost black, upon arrival. Even though I am tiny, I would've been more comfortable in a size up. It is also pretty short (coming from a person who has long legs and enjoys proportionally short dresses) and due to the material, tended to ride up, so I felt the tights were necessary. Overall... rockin' dress.
