Despite dress issues, I still got compliments....
Dress was so long it hit above my ankle bone - not great for its rented purpose of dancing. The neckline gaped literally to where my skin below my bra was exposed - others with larger bra sizes reported the issue, but I thought at 34A, I wouldn't have the same issue. I did, and I had to wear a visible bandeau, safety-pinned into the dress. I used fashion tape around the neckline too. Sizing was snug, but wearing the larger size would have been even more gape. Side zipper meant I didn't have to undo the many front buttons. Despite all the issues, I still received a couple compliments on the dress.

Beautiful elegant dress!
The dress is beautiful, and the fabric was different from what I expected - it's more like a lightweight sweater than the jersey fabric I anticipated - which gives it more shape and coverage. I wore a MR. (normal size for me is a 6 as I am 5'3", 125 lbs, 34A.) The runching offers some masking, but the beautiful color, however, shows those bumps. I wish I had used spanx with this one.

Runs small, no stretch
I rented this for dancing. It's a beautiful dress, great green color, and I received lots of compliments. However, I normally wear a size 6 (5'3", 125 lbs, 34A set high, curvy body type) - I had to wear a spanx to get the dress zipped nad it was still very tight. It has little room around the knees, so my dancing was constrained. I rented a backup size 4, because others reported the top was big. It wasn't, and the straps are not adjustable (the ties are decorative), so lots of "decolletage" - a nice dress, but I had hoped for more.

Styling was a bit strange
The fabric in the jacket body is beautiful and sherpa-y - very nice, warm. However, the pockets in the jacket were made from the same fabric, creating unneeded bulk around the mid section. This made the styling not flattering for my pear-shape. Sleeves were a different fabric.

A classic!
Perfect-Sized classic purse - big enough to hold my iPad Air, as well as other things yet not oversized. Cross-body strap is indeed detachable, but the detachment mechanism is subtle. (Only drawback to be aware of - the buckle where the cross-body strap attaches to the purse shows wear quickly.)

Too heavy and long for dancing
I didn’t wear this dress (RTR Unlimited). I ordered it for dancing. The lace was sort of a crocheted cotton and quite heavy - good for a windy outdoor event, but not for my purpose. I am 5’3”, and the dress hem was only 4” above my ankle. The dress is beautifully shaped but not suitable for my needs.
