Love this! Dress it up or down. Flowy, pretty and comfortable.
True to size.

Cute jumpsuit!
I sized up due to the reviews, and the jumpsuit was too loose on the bottom. I should have ordered my regular size. It's super cute, but you'll need a sticky bra, as the back is low.

Like the look, but not great on me. Returned before wearing.
I went down a size, and these were still too big. The material was strangely thick, and they were just a little too long to be flattering on my 5'4" frame. Sad.

Perfect for a night out with jeans and heels. Stayed in place all night!
True to size. It holds in heat, so I wouldn't wear it in super hot weather.

Great colors!
This is a fun statement necklace that can dress up jeans and a tank or pair nicely with a dress. The one I ordered arrived with a sticky substance on one of the yellow stones. I'm sure it would have wiped off fairly easily, but since I didn't end up wearing it, I didn't try to clean it. The colors are great, and the thick, chunky chain gives it a little "edge".

Great style; bad fit.
I really like the style of this necklace, but it's just not quite loose enough around the neck. I wish the clasp had a chain adjuster. I would have worn it, if I could have made it slightly looser.

Sweet and sassy LBD!
This dress is darling! Unfortunately, it was too small for me in the chest. With a large bust and narrow ribcage, I can usually get away with a 2 or XS in a dress; however this one wouldn't even zip past my waist. The satin material made it slightly too dressy for the (outdoor winery) wedding I was attending, anyway. Though the bottom was slightly more poofy than I expected, I loved the sassy skirt and sweet bows on the shoulders!

Cute and playful!
This dress is so cute! I didn't end up wearing it to the event I rented it for, as the weather ended up being super hot that day, and if I were to consider this dress again, I'd probably go with the sleeveless version in black. The navy seemed slightly more casual, and, as others have mentioned, the lace sleeves were not stretchy and a bit snug for me.

Gorgeous pattern and colors!
I ordered this in a size 2 and 4. There wasn't a big difference between the two sizes, but the 2 was more snug in the armpit/chest area. I wore the 4 for a little extra breathing room on a hot, hot summer afternoon in Napa. It was still form-fitting, and the length was perfect for my 5'4" height. The colors are really beautiful and several people commented on the fun, kaleidoscope pattern. It was comfortable to sit and dance in, and the structured nature of the dress made it so that it didn't ride up; however the material is thick, so it was pretty hot. Luckily, the fabric and pattern didn't show sweat stains (eek!)! I paired the dress with fuchsia pumps and a black clutch.

Gorgeous print!
This dress has such a fun print, and I loved the style (I'm a big fan of sleeves)! I'm usually a US 4 or 2 in dresses, so it ran true for me. It was on the short side--even for my 5'4" frame, but the long sleeves balanced out the length, and it was good for a night out in LA. While I loved the print, the fabric was slightly heavy and looked a little faded, though that was less noticeable once I put it on. The material is stretchy and comfortable, but I wouldn't recommend it for hot weather. The dress arrived with a small hole at the bottom of the zipper. Luckily it was on the seam and a quick, easy fix for my tailor. He didn't charge me, but it was still a pain to have to bring it in the day before my trip.

Not quite right for me
This dress was pretty, and I liked the length and stretchy jersey material (not too thick), but there was just too much material in the front for me. The beaded v-neck is slightly drapey (which I didn't realize from the RTR photo), and I couldn't git it to lay right. It looked too bulky on me. It would probably work better on someone taller or with a longer torso. I ended up wearing my other option.

LBD with a twist!
I loved this dress! I wore it to a fundraiser with python print pumps. The material is thick, but stretchy and forgiving. It has a body con fit, but the ruffle in the front helps hide tummy issues. I ordered both the small and xs but decided to go with the xs, as the length was better for me, and the snugger fit helped the strapless side stay up. Each dress had a different zipper in the back--I assume because one had been replaced, though both looked fine with the style of the dress. The sleeve length was a tad long for my short arms--I just tucked it under at the wrist, and it was fine. I received tons of compliments!

Love this dress---sparkly and so fun!
I originally tried on the small and thought it was a great fit, except for the length being slightly long on my 5'4" frame (It was still above the knee, but I wanted it to look more like it does on the model, especially with it's long sleeves and high neckline.). I tried on the XS thinking it would be way too snug. Surprisingly, it fit perfectly, and the length was much better for me! I'm glad I got the smaller size as my backup. I thought the sequins were going to be a slivery pewter color, but they are mostly silver with some red and a little gold mixed in. I was worried about the color when I took it out of the bag, but once I put it on, the sequins caught the light, and it looked just as pictured. It's a very, very shimmery dress, and I wasn't sure if I wanted to stand out quite so much, but I received so many compliments! It was great for my friend's 40th birthday night out on the town. I didn't find the unlined sleeves to be bothersome. It's a comfortable dress with some give--easy to sit and dance in--rent it! :)
