Rich color
Beautiful dress, although a little shorter than it was stated. The bust was a little tight for a very busty person.

Pretty necklace, not stored well
One of the stones fell out as I took it out of the box. I was able to affix it to the necklace to wear, but clearly it's been beat up and not checked closely before it was sent.

The fit is impeccable.
I absolutely loved this dress. The Italian-made dress is flawless, and I thought the fit was very true to 'American' size. It is a different type of fashion forward dress, but it's conservative and not over the top. The dress is lined and the weight of it is overall heavier, perfect for a fall wedding. I tried to wear it with black tights, but the length of the dress hit at the knee so it was a little too covered up. I paired with black open-toe satin heels and minimal jewelry.

Ruffling It Up Dress

Looked like a ruffled hospital gown
This was an 'emergency' rental for my bridal shower after various options didn't pan out. I'm barely 5'4" and this was so short I could not have sat or bent over. The idea of this is great, and the ruffles are beautiful, but the cut is absolutely terrible. It looked like a hospital gown with no shape definition at all.

Beautiful, knock-out colors
The dress is absolutely beautiful, strong but feminine colors. Like others have said, the very low cut of the top is not forgiving for a full-busted woman, but it can be done. Great dress for an evening event if you're busty, but might not be day-shower-appropriate without a cardigan.

Rent the necklace, too!
The dress ran large because of the elastic ruching in the top. It was absolutely lovely, and I'd rent it again. The skirt is voluminous, with lots and lots of fabric. And like others have said - rent the necklace. It's perfect with the dress.

Not so comfortable in the bust
I am 5'4" and wear a 34DDD. The dress fit everywhere except in the bust; I could not zip the last 2" of the dress so I did not wear it. The material is much more beautiful than the photo, and the button detail at the back is lovely. However, the grosgrain bow at the waist is a little too much, and the fabric is stiff and scratchy. It would be nice for a not-quite-black tie fall wedding.

stunning!
So simple, but such a statement piece. It's so much lighter on your neck than it looks. It received so many compliments!

Perfect for a fall wedding
The fabric of this dress was great for a fall wedding, and the sparkle was much more than I had expected (in a good way!). It was just the right length for my height. However, both sizes I received of this dress seemed to have gotten a lot of wear with visible fraying, a broken belt, etc. Beware of the belt on this dress: RTR sent the wrong belt sizes, and the belt loops are hard to disguise without it.
