Little black dress alternative
It’s a fun alternative to a LBD without standing out toooo much. The neck ties do allow for going braless, even if you’re bigger chested, as they’ll hold up the ladies nicely. With the natural draping of the dress, I was feeling somewhat shapeless in it (I had a baby this year) but a pair of spanx with it made me feel much more confident.

Standout as the lady in red!
I wasn't immediately in love with it when I tried it on. But as I pranced around, it was comfortable, sexy but subtle, and easy to dance in. Tons of compliments all night, and I definitely stood out in a sea of LBDs. Runs a little large, so it slides around a bit but I never had any nip slips!

Little black dress
I wasn't too ecstatic about this dress - it was a replacement because RTR sadly messed up the shipping for my original dress. What they sent was just a tad too much for what I was wearing it to. However, it's form fitting and fits well on the curves. It definitely shows the cleavage. It was kind of an odd length on me (I'm 5'3"). Not my favorite and probably won't make you stand out in the crowd but in the right setting and on the right person I think it could be sexy and/or classy.

Perfect Holiday Dress
This runs very large and is super comfortable. It's not the most flattering and I wish I would have had a belt or something. But it does the job. It was great for my holiday party, but would also be nice for work!

Not for large women!
I have a large chest and wide shoulders so it wouldn't zip up. :( Beautiful though!

Fun dress to replace the LBD!
Loved the design! I dont think it was the most flattering on me, but it was still beautiful and fun to wear. Not much stretch to the fabric. Definitely recommend for your next event.

Fun party dress
This was fun and I got compliments all night but I dont think its actually very flattering. I have a curvy, short build and I think it would be best for tall thin bodies. I put a thin belt on it to give it some shape. However, its sparkly and still great for a night out.

Not for wallflowers! You're going to stand out in this beauty!
Wow. Lots of compliments. It definitely runs large and the straps/arm holes seem big but by the end of night I stopped fussing with them and it still worked great and nothing fell out :) I am 5'3" and definitely had to wear some heels otherwise the dress would drag on the ground. I would buy this dress in a heartbeat!!!

Beautiful - but hard for busty ladies
It was flowy and comfortable. I wore it for my rehearsal dinner so I wasn't wanting to show too much cleavage. Because of that, I had to pin it together and I'm pretty big so it was a struggle, but once I got it right, I loved the dress. Make sure you wear nude undies. Overall, I liked it though! Lots of compliments.

So unique!
This is by far one of the most unique dresses I've ever worn! It's so fun, flirty, and classy! A little tight on the rib cage with no stretch so don't eat too much in it!

Fun NYE dress!
First sorry for the crappy photo! Anyway, it was a great way to stand out from all the little black dresses on New Years - definitely highlights the chest and twirls in a fun way!

Fun holiday dress!
So sparkly! Definitely needs a belt to give it to some shape. It's somewhat heavy and got a little itchy under the arms but nothing to ruin the night! Highly recommend!

Not as magical as I hoped
It was just okay. The fabric was a little large at the chest area and had weird angles due to that. It was fun to dance in though. And honestly, my expectations might have been too high since I went to a Harry Potter ball and was hoping for a more magical dress.

Classy cleavage
Holy boobs! Even though they're covered in lace, the cleavage is impressive. It could also be a part because I have a big back and it made it super tight on the ladies. I ended up wearing a black shrug with it to hide my back since I felt it gave it some gross bulges. Still, it was a fun dress to wear to hit the town with my girls!

So much fun! Perfect for bachelorette!
I rented this for my bachelorette in Nashville and I definitely stood out next to the typical brides in short white dresses and boots! It's soooo comfortable and the fabric in the front gives you the option to be as sexy as you want! You also don't have to wear a bra which is always nice. It's shiny and fun and I'd recommend it to everyone!!!

Very short and tight!
I was a bit too pudgy for the dress sadly, but it was beautiful! Definitely need to be confident of your legs because it's very short!

Lots of compliments!
Very comfortable and can wear a normal bra. I prefer to have dresses that show my hourglass, so if I rented again I would find a belt with it. Other than that, it was super fun to dance in with its little twirl and it definitely sticks out (in a good way) with its bold pattern!

Classy and Sexy Movie Star
I have never felt so beautiful. It was form fitting in all the right places (almost chose a photo of me from the back but wasn't sure how much you all would care about my butt) without me feeling constricted and I didn't even have to wear a bra! I've recently gained some weight and was feeling gross but this dress gave me back some of my groove, like Stella. This is a dress I want to buy!!!! Thank you RTR!!!!

Beautiful and classic
I wasn't sure about this dress when I got it - but I'm glad I gave it a chance! My normal size was too small on my monster arms (lace has minimal give) so I wore the backup. But, it worked well! Had some extra room in the stomach and butt (always good for weddings with too much food and dancing)! I typically like dresses that highlight my curves but this felt sophisticated and I got non stop compliments!

I felt simply beautiful in this dress! It was sexy, yet classy. Many compliments.
First time with RTR and I'm hooked! So convenient and fun! I normally wear a 12, but the 14 was a tad bit more comfortable. My only concern was that a boob would pop out since it wasn't as tight on the chest, but it turned out fine :) It was comfortable, beautiful, showed some cleavage without feeling skanky. A hook on the back was broken, but it still worked.
