Perfect comfort, color & style
I wore this dress to a country club on New Year’s Eve. It is a beautiful maroon-purple color. It has a side zipper but is a thick, stretchy velvet with a bit of give. A lot of times I feel like RTR dresses run small, but I wore my usual dress size. The shoulder has a bunch of small buttons, but they were pretty easy for my date to get on/off. It would be hard to do on your own, I think. Overall, this dress felt and looked great.

Sweater dress with structure
This sturdy sweater dress is stretchy enough to hug your curves but thick enough to hide any lumps! The pouffy sleeves give it some interest, and the back is stunning. I was able to wear a normal bra and sit comfortably (I’m 5’8 1/2”). Great for a winter date night!

Flattering, classy choice
Lovely, thick fabric and perfect draping hides any tummy concerns. Bodice has structure with a corset and interior band/strap that helps hold it up/on. Fabric and strap have zero give, though, so it was snug around my ribcage. (Wore the 8–size 6 was too small).) Overall very comfy and stylish without being too revealing. Wore to fancy dinner on New Year’s Eve.

Sexy but not revealing
Loved this dress—thick but flowing fabric on the skirt and leather-like top has built-in boning to help it stay up. Slight pleating across the tummy is super flattering. Comfy to wear all night! Not too much stretch in the waist but 6 fit like a glove.

Summer wedding perfection
Absolutely loved this dress! I tried both the 6 & 8 and went with the 8 for a little more breathing room (zipper close). The lining underneath is a tad short (I'm 5'9") but didn't feel revealing because of the lace overskirt. The color is divine, and the back is a showstopper. I wore this to an outdoor summer wedding and stayed cool and stylish. Highly recommend!

Stunning sequins!
I wore this to a Gatsby-themed party and it was totally on point. The fit was great and very comfortable; the stretchy fabric could accommodate many different body shapes. I loved the sequin design and felt like it helped add some curves to my otherwise-straight frame. I ate and danced in total comfort and looked fab. What more could you want?

Flirty dress for NYE
This dress was super cute, flirty, and the perfect amount of shine for New Year's Eve. I'm 5'9" and 150 pounds, and I wore the size 8. The size 10 was much bigger in the chest. I'm pretty straight and narrow, but I think this would accommodate a well-rounded chest and backside. The most constricting part is the waist, which has no stretch at all. I liked the length a lot and felt sexy without showing excessive skin.

Perfect red
This dress is high quality and simply stunning. I'm 5'8", 153 pounds, and a 36B. Definitely tighter across the chest and a bit roomier in the hips, but it fit like a dream overall--the best I could hope for without alterations. The fabric is gorgeous, soft and flexible. The dress is lined, but you'll need flesh-toned underwear (black undergarments showed through). I received many compliments at the fundraiser gala.
