High low not working
The sweater is high quality and feels nice but the shape is way off. Too high in the front. Too low in the back. It's a crop and a full length at the same time. Doesn't work.

Loved it.
Fit perfectly. I'm 5'8" and wore with about 2.5-3" heels and that was about the perfect height. It's super comfortable and you can wear a regular bra. Got tons of compliments.

Very see through
Not a fan. Was very see through and unsupportive. Imagine wrapping a single layer of linen over your boobs. Because that's what it is.

Very fun
Wore this for a gratuitous black tie event. It is indeed very low cut, but surprisingly I didn't need fashion tape or a bra. I'm a C cup. I wore the 4 instead of the 6 purely because the chest of the 6 was too big. The 6 fit much better and more drape-y. As another reviewer noted, it is a bit short in the torso. I wore 3+ inch heels. I'm about 5' 8" and the regular was a good length.

Love/hate
This is a truly beautiful dress - I got compliments from several people just in the dressing room at RTR. Unfortunately I was fighting with it all night. You are well covered when standing, but as soon as you sit, the wrap skirt splits up to your thigh and the top gaps out and shows waaaay too much (it's not just cleavage). Fashion tape helped a little, but the fabric is pretty resistant because of the sequins. It was a fun dress, but by the end of the night it was a joke how much I was flashing

Fabulous
This dress is so flattering. I never would have ordered by mail because it looks really unforgiving, but when my first choice didn't work out, it was one of the only styles in the store in my size. It's a simple shape, but has darting in all the right places to give perfect shape and hide all of your trouble spots. It doesn't look like it, but it's stretchy AND is lined with jersey! So comfortable. I danced up a storm with no problem. Got compliments all night. I'm 5'8" and usually get long sizes, but the cut looks fine if it's a couple of inches off the floor, so not necessary (there was no 'long' available that day). I'm a 4/6, and the 4 fit great. D cup and just wore a sticky bra to avoid nipping out. Brakes would have been fine. A strapless would have shown in both front and back. I wore high-waisted shaping panties, but spanx weren't necessary - the darting in front is forgiving.

Subtly unique
This is a gorgeous dress. When I picked it up, the woman at RTR said, "Augh, this dress is a dream!" Which tells me it fits well on everyone. The rouching at the waist camoflages a lot (though it looks like its bunching in my photo). I will say that the fabric is not super high quality or thick, so the dress isn't totally forgiving and offers little support - I still wore spanks to smooth the sides and keep my stomach flat. I wore a strapless bra - going without would be tough for most. There is a mesh liner at the chest, but it offers no support and doesnt even have an elastic band around the bottom of it. The 4L fit fine, but i went with the 6L because it fit almost exactly the same and was a solid inch longer for some reason.

Sexy cut, not great material.
I rented this for a wedding and picked up in-store. Luckily they asked if I wanted to try it on because the 6 long was too big and the 4 was too short. The women at the shop did a great job helping me find an alternative. They didn't have this dress in store in a long size, and it was really for the best. Walking around in it, I felt like any move I made would wrinkle the dress and that it would show any drop of perspiration. It looked great on, but didn't have the hang or flow of a higher quality dress. Definitely worth the extra $25 to bump up to a gown that cost a couple hundred more at retail. That's why we love RTR!

Flattering and high quality!
I got this dress because my original order was a little too short and I luckily picked up and tried on in store. I tried it on along with 5 others thinking it would be a boring shift dress but worth a shot. It knocked the others out of the park. The model photo does not show how form fitting it is and flattering on your waist and derrière. It's also difficult to see in any of the photos that the lace gives a subtle but sexy cleavage peek. The cut and fabric quality made all the difference on this gown. Tons of compliments and danced all night! Only pitfall is that the smooth design and red color shows anything that touches it - I was worried all night that if get a dot of oil from dinner or sweat patch. Luckily I didn't! (Just a couple splashes of water that dried quickly.) Can be worn with or without a regular bra, but the back looks smooth and clean without. -5'8", 145lb, usually a 4/6, regularly a 4 on RTR.

Liked, didn't love
I liked but did not love this dress. It's an amazing cut, but it's very hard to tell what the fabric looks like until it arrives. I would recommend ordering a back-up option in case you don't like it. It's basically a black fabric with gold threading. It comes off as a pretty bronze color, but it just wasn't my style. Hate to say it, but it felt a little cheap. I got a lot of compliments, though, so others seemed to like it. It fit well and the rouching is very forgiving, but I still wished I had Spanx for it just to cinch the waist and make the look more finished. I would rent the cut again (Nicole Miller has this cut in a few fabrics), but not this particular fabric.

Very flattering silhouette
This is a gorgeous dress. I rented it for an engagement part. It carves out a very nice waist and gives you Pippa Middleton butt. I didn't have to wear Spanks under it - just a flattering cut. I like the black detail down the front to set it apart as well. It is quite long. I'm 5'9" with a 34" inseam and it still went past my knees, making it more conservative. I generally wear a 6 but sometimes a 4- no question going with the 6 on this one. I couldn't even zip the 4. It was very comfortable, but that should tell you there's no give in the dress either. I would absolutely rent this again for another event.
