Bad photo from the end of the night... I'm between 8/10 so I got the M & L. The M wouldn't even zip over my waist! L fit my body but was extremely snug around the arms all the way down to my wrists. No need for bracelets... That said, this dress was amazing. The deep V back turned heads and the sequins make it truly spectacular. I wore sticky boob cups (DD girls need a boost!) which made a difference in my silhouette. Fabric is thick enough for most to go bra less though.

Rented for a Black & White Masquerade Ball (a la Truman Capote's 1966 bash). This dress was perfect -- snug in all the right places, comfortable, sexy and still sophisticated. Dropped a star for a sticky zipper and hanger loops that are sewn so closely to the armhole that they kept inching out (but I'm being petty). Tons of compliments.

The material of this dress is gorgeous- heavy and with a lovely drape. The cut is unusual. The shorter front offered plenty of leg to flash but still had a dramatic, long sweep of skirt behind. I got a ton of compliments all evening and I loved the way it moved around me. No fussing with the bodice either. Snug, but not uncomfortable. Only downside: even the Regular is quite long! My 4" heels weren't enough to keep people from stepping on my skirt.

Felt like a PPRubens ballerina in a Degas painting. The zipper was a little tricky at the waist but with a few extra hands, we got it up. The tulle is very pretty but you need a day to shake out the packaging wrinkles. Fun dress!

It has pockets on the side seams! So awesome! Okay, it is also gorgeous. Nice heavy brocade fabric. Looks like RTR had tried to take up the shoulder straps but still needed to pin them up another 3/4 of an inch. Lots of compliments. :-)

This was a back-up. Tried it on but didn't love how the shoulder fabric kind of popped up at the sleeve seam. Very cute otherwise though.

The color was deep and very pretty and, overall, I found it to be very comfortable. The zipper was pretty obstinate in places (even when I wasn't wearing it) but I enlisted some helpers and we got the dress zipped. It shows a LOT of cleavage (which my husband loved!) but was a little challenging to find a bra that wasn't visible at the V.
