Rented this as my back-up, and loved it so much, but wore my original selection as it fit the occasion a bit better. Forgot to take a photo - but it was most certainly photo-worthy! Will be renting this dress in the future as it was so comfortable and the material and craftsmanship is outstanding (as expected from the brand). It did have fairly deep wrinkles from shipping, so give yourself some time to have it steamed/pressed before you need to wear it. So unique and amazing - you won't regret it!

Quick thoughts: -very happy with the dress as it was a high quality fabric and design that didn't loose shape or stretch out during the evening (6 hour event) -I honestly felt too exposed when I first tried it on, as the perfect "v" neckline quickly becomes a wide "u" on a larger bust (I'm 36D) - this feeling went away once I got used to it and realized it wasn't going to fully expose my entire chest when I moved around/did some test dance moves in the mirror -you feel more exposed than you actually look, which I had to figure out by asking a few people that are a bit more conservative and brutally honest (and not my husband who had no issue with the neckline at all...such a guy), as I was worried it went from classy exposure to trashy due to my larger bust size, and in photos I can now see the difference -this gown makes you memorable and attracts stares (some of which are of the "snarky" variety...but to be expected), so not a great gown for blending into the crowd or for the socially sensitive -having an even skin tone/tan made all the difference in the world - as a ginger my actual breasts are usually very pale/evenly white but I have dense freckles throughout my neck/chest - when I tried on the gown pre-spray tan, the areas of my breasts that were exposed literally looked like headlights in contrast to my chest/neck...spray tan/tan/a lot of bronzer is a must to even things out and pull of this look -don't depend on dress tape to hold the neckline in/narrow it, it does a good job keeping the fabric from shifting around unexpectedly, but can't hold the fabric taut when stretched and tapped due to the texture of the material -wore quarter-inch platform heels and the hem just grazed the floor so it was perfect for me on the Regular size length, however I would have been in trouble with the Long (I'm 5'3") -any lumps/issues in the hip/waist area are not a problem as they were totally smoothed out by the double layers of stretch fabric in the gown construction...I didn't have to wear any Spanx at all -sitting was not an issue as the neckline didn't buckle or sag down...good posture is a must, however -a total success and would rent again

Wore with a bronze metallic jacket from RTR to a holiday party, and it gave just the right amount of unexpected edge to the look. Stayed in place securely, but wasn't pinching or uncomfortable. Forgot it was there until I kept getting compliments!

Wore this to a holiday party with slim some cigarette pants and a metallic cami. It was perfect for a more sophisticated sparkle, and in a more fashion forward color. The bronze shade was flattering with my pale skin tone. Many compliments throughout the night. Highly recommended to make a good outfit a great outfit instead.
