Great for a gender announcement
Walking into Disneyland I got a lot of compliments this dress was very comfortable and perfectly neutral for my gender reveal. The only thing that was a little weird is because of my boob size the darts on the dress did sit a little weird in me, but overall Trina Turk is always my go to designer.

This dress was pretty and would work in a winter setting but the material was too heavy to wear in a warm spring wedding.

Casual Elegant
When I saw this dress on RTR I loved it! In person, I wasn't as in love. This might be because i had built it up in my head... but also because it the product photo and description it appear to be and say it is a soft blue. I was picturing baby blue, but it was a vibrant regatta blue. It was still beautiful and comfortable, just not what I had fallen in love with. Also, be careful dress is short.

Saved the Day
This dress was picked and sent to me after my two originally dress options were flops. Since the other two dresses were risks, and I didn't have time to receive the dress and try it out beforehand. So I needed a safe option. A dress that I could wear with a normal bra, that could fit and cover my boobs, was cute and also formal enough for a wedding. After going through several options this dress was want we picked. Now. I will admit this is a dress I would have hearted but never really consider renting. However, boy was I wrong. The dress was perfect for the occasion. I felt confident and cute. The lace detail really made the dress and the color was nice. It is like evergreen with a hint of teal to it. A little tight at the bodice but that is expected for a size 0 with my size boobs. Definitely don't overlook this one.

Can I Keep Them?!
No really, I wanted to keep them.. I considered it. The blues are just so vibrant and the earrings are the perfect statement piece to your wardrobe. They were considerably light. although do get "heavier" the longer you wear them. Anyways. I highly recommend them. Also, if you rented them and love them like I do. Kendra Scott offers the ability to custom make your own version of them and other earrings.

Gorgeous, but...
The colors of this dress are outstandingly vibrant and the dress has the perfect flowy laid back vibe. Unfortunately, this dress at least in my normal sizes (0,2) is too small. Made more for some stick thin, smaller boobs and about 5'7 " not 5'1". Which is okay, I knew I was taking a risk here. It is the inner lining of the dress that did it in for me though. Since it clearly is not made for someone a with a bust or butt. That is wear the lining hugged (more like squeezed) the most and at My bust I couldnt even get it to clasp around me, let alone zip! With that being said I still LOVE Trina Turk's dresses and would recommend this to those ladies who fit the body type for it.

Didn't fit, STILL too gorgeous not to give 5 stars
From the moment I rented this dress, I knew it was a risk. Strapless and I just don't mix. However, the dress had built in boning.. so I was willing to take that risk. Technically, the dress did fit and in fact the boning not only held up my boobs, but held them in and held them in well! It survived a rigorous jumping and dancing test. Overall, I decided that the amount my boobs were exposed would not be "nana approved" . Which saddened me, since this dress is SO SO SO pretty. I mean even better in person. The quilted fabric and vibrant gold. Perfection. Plus I had my nails and toes done to match!

Worth the Risk
Wore this to a Fiesta themed engagement party. I mean the colors and pattern are PERFECT for it. The only thing that worried me was the fact that the dress had thin straps and is essentially backless. Due to my larges boobs this could present a problem. However, after reading other reviews and looking at others photos I determined the top provided enough coverage and where the waist hit would provide enough support. Needless to say I could go braless in this dress and NOT have to worry the whole night. The dress was perfect for the occasion and I am glad I took the risk.

Beach Side Summer Wedding Perfection
I was so happy with this dress, the length was perfect (just be aware when you are sitting) the cut on top was nice,especially with the little peep hole. Great dress for ladies with big boobs like myself! Also, great for a summer beach midday beach wedding. It can be formal and casual and overall great dress. My only complaint would be that the clasp at the neck came undone often. Which really just makes the top half of you dress a tad tighter. I don't know if that is a problem through out the dress design or just mine. It was really minor though and like I said, if it comes undone it would expose anything more than the back of your neck.

Pretty dress, Liked it but the sequins can be irritable on the armpits. So I ended going with the other dress I rented for the event.

A Must Have
I always keep fashion tape with me, having a larger bust it is an essential, but I also have it with me.. because it is inevitable that someone else around me will be in need of it, whether it is the keep a strap from falling off the shoulder, or fixing a hem etc.

Great Rental Pick!
The color of the dress was gorgeous and from the moment I put the dress on, I felt comfortable and very pretty! The length of the 0R was perfect for my height with and without heels. I do recommend fashion tape for the bust. I danced the night away in this dress and had a blast. People came up to me all night, telling me how much they loved my dress!

Great Back Up!
When RTR contacted me, that the dress I originally rented ( Butterfly Maxi) was returned in unwearable condition, I was bummed. However, this dress ended up being the BEST choice for the wedding rehearsal. The fabric has a lot of stretch and it very comfortable.

I NEEDTo Buy This Dress!
I wore this dress for a company photo-shoot, but loved the dress so much I wore it the whole time prior to the shoot including hair and make-up. Most RTR dresses I rent get compliments, but this dress takes the cake. It was NON-STOP. Given that I have a bigger bust and smaller waist, it is hard to find dresses that compliment both and are also modest. Trina Turks dress did all that and was SO unbelievably comfortable. I cannot recommend this dress enough! It is also the only RTR dress that I really truly did not want to give back!

This dress was for my Mom, so Measurements are Usually Wears Size 6 Body Type:Full Bust Weight :135 My mom tried the large with no success and then the Large which, with help she got on, but it was WAY small and incredibly unflattering. This dress is NOT the curvier girls dress.

I forget to take photos of myself in the dresses I don't pick! Although, this dress is pretty, it just didn't fit right on my, was a little baggy and made me feel large and lumpy. The fabric is a thicker fabric by the way

Overall liked.
the stylist surprise is definitely worth its price. I would prefer a costumizable option. So you can say what your style is, what you would prefer. Etc. for example i loved what I got. However, one of the items was for my mother in law and it was gold. Something, she doesn't wear.

I got this dress for my mother in law in her size. Unfortunately being that there is no zipper, you have to pull it over and that just didn't work.

This review is more of 4 1/2 stars I LOVED this dress and got SEVERAL compliments through out the day on it. However like other reviews have said this picture does not represent the dress well at all. It is a seafoam green, and the belt is detachable it is also gold, not pearl. PS the dress won't look good until you put the belt on.. so when you get it don't be discouraged. My one last minor "complaint" is that the dress is SHORT, a lot shorter then I expected.. so make sure to wear spanx of something to the affect underneath. = )

Was sick when this pic was taken. This is me, trying on the dress. I posted this pic and a pic of me in my back up dress to ask FB which dress I should wear.
I loved this dress so so so much! The only thing I did was the shoulder flap was to fashion daring for me so I tucked it under. Even then the dress still looked fabulous.

I was disappointed with this dress. I put on the size zero and it was big on me! To add to it, the dress was long and the fabric felt cheap. It had the potential to look great on me though but I wasn't in love with it as I was when I ordered it. On the Bright side! My sister in law wore it, she is taller then me.. and although it still was big on her she looked great in it.

My family loving the dress, and all the compliments.
I didn't immediately fall in love with this dress, but I wore it cause it was the more appropriate option and as the day went on I fell more and more in love with this dress! it is very figure flattering and the pouching everyone is commenting on, is seriously such a minor issue that you don't even need to worry about it. The dress photos as the color shown in this picture... but yes, in person, in some light it can come off pinkish red. Overall, I LOVED it.. my only complaint would be the shoulder is slightly cap sleeved, which can make lifting your right arm hard.

This was my follow up dress, to the one I wore to the wedding and it was perfect! Everyone was stunned, sexy while being conservative
My review may sound repetitive.. however I just wanted to say this is a beautiful dress and fits like a glove and perfect for the bigger chested girl (i am a 32 DD)who has trouble finding a strapless dress that fits,doesn't need adjusting constantly and is still sexy. As many have said the color is more RED then ruby red but still pretty and flattering. However, the biggest annoyance was the top flap flipping over! and no amount of fashion tap would fix it... so this unfortunately made me self conscious the rest of the night.. luckily it was dress #2 of the day and it was cold So i could wear a shawl to cover it.

Knowing I was the best dressed at the whole wedding (with the exception of the bride and maybe my sister in law) but everyone else came in summer dresses
I liked this dress but wasn't in love. My biggest issue with it was that the side across my arm kept flipping up and bunching. I still liked it and it was beautiful, but hard to feel confident in it.

This photo was taken when trying the dress on.. I was also not feeling well.. hence my heinous look.
This was my back up dress and although it is a cute dress, for my body type it just didn't work, my boobs were too big (what a surprise!) and overall it just made me look frumpy.. would recommend for really petite girls.
