Great dress, easy fit, comfortable. Good saturated colors for on camera.
If you have broad shoulders this may accentuate them.

Felt as elegant as the Duchess of Cambridge in her engagement photos in this emerald green stunner!
I wore this to a TED wall street conference. It was classy enough to wear among a sea of suits but stood out with its rich emerald color and figure flattering design. Afterwards I wore it on a romantic date and my husband loved it. Its a very versatile dress. It could almost range from wedding to work. I thought it ran slightly large, as I had to close the bust with a bit of fashion tape - but after that it was perfect. The criss-cross at the waist creates a beautiful hourglass silhouette, and the slight flair of the skirt hides any problem areas.

Design is incredible - like Dali painted a Rorschach test on pearlized fabric! Favorite dress ever!
I wore this dress for the OurRunway launch party. The fabric is gorgeous and stands out while still being elegant and classy. It is really flattering - plenty of room in the tummy and hips - a little bit tight in the bust but its lined etc so even if you are large busted it won't look vulgar and can wear a regular bra with it. I think this style would flatter a multitude of shapes and sizes. The body of the fabric is such that you don't need to wear spanx underneath, so it's comfortable. Of note, my friend who rented the purple Prabal dress in the photo also loved the fabric and fit of hers as well. Would definitely rent again!

the dress
This is a great dress- wonderful saturated orange color. Length wise it fit great on 5'5 - not too long like many dresses - it hits a couple of inches above the knee. It was a little bit tight in the bust and a little bit loose in the torso, so it bunched a little bit and I didn't end up wearing it out, but this dress would probably be very flattering on most people.

the dress
This dress is one of my favorites. I wore it around new years in Florida. The fit is both flattering and easy, and the peach/orange and lilac colors are both beautiful and unique. I wore this everywhere from a country club ladies luncheon to out at night in South Beach, and it was perfect for each venue. It looks best against a warm or (fake tan) skin tone, the model on the site isn't doing it justice. Love this dress, one of my favorites.

I liked it so much I bought the dress! Only negatives, I think I was pushing it getting away with a formless midsection at 5'5. My husband thought it looked hot.

A much taller friend (5'10) has this dress and it looks good on her. It was kind of long on me for a summer dress and the top reminded me of undershirts I wore in kindergarten. Not a big fan.

This dress was a little long and baggy on me at 5'5 105. I false hemmed it with double sided tape and while that improved it, it didn't fall totally right given its asymmetric pleating. I also pinned the shoulders in order to shorten/tighten it in the torso. Otherwise, the dress is very pretty and elegant, and I did not have any issues with the belt as other people have mentioned.

Pretty color but the dropped waist made me look curve-less.

gorgeous dress
this dress is gorgeous and elegant. HOWEVER, you could experience "side" cleavage as the outsides are mesh... this dress is probably idea for A or B cups. Otherwise stunning.

cute and short
This dress is very cute. Its also relatively short and small in the bust. I liked the look of the dress - it is great on a petite figure, though I was tugging at the top making sure it didnt fall down all night.

beautiful but big
I rented this for a black tie event, a 2 or 0, though those dont seem to be available anymore. The color and fabric and construction is gorgeous, but the significant pleating and diaphanous skirt overwhelmed my height and frame. It was also too big in the bust/torso. I didn't end up wearing it. It would be beautiful on a taller person, I think.

I was so excited to wear this pretty dress, but the zero was enormous on me, so I couldn't wear it. I think all Robert Rodriguez's are on the larger side though.

I loved this dress - finally something that fits and looks hot if you are a thin person! The velvet is not slimming, but I was ok with that.

Cute and classy
This dress is beautiful. The fit is easy so you can eat/drink and not worry about a tummy bulge. The fabric is gorgeous, rich gold thread. It can easily be dressed up or down - could work with Jack Rogers flats or strappy stilletoes. A great dress.

I wore this for my rehearsal dinner. It looked great, but would not recommend it for anyone shorter than me (5'5) or a curvy figure. The tiers look like they can add the appearance of extra lbs.

Short and sweet
This dress is fun and cute and classy. It is sufficiently short for ladies 5'5 and under, and seems to be sized for the petite frame, which is nice, since some dresses just hang and look to big. It was classy and simple enough to wear to a country club dance but cute enough to get a compliment from my husband.

The size 38 fits more like a US2 or 4, so if you are a 0 it is definitely large, but a beautiful dress.

Wore this for my bachelorette party in St. Lucia. It is cute and photographs really well. Wore a zero and it was slightly roomy but still fit. You can eat a big meal or be in the early stages of pregnancy etc and this dress will probably still be flattering, as there is a lot of room in the stomach.
