Forgiving for small baby bump!
I wore this at 14 weeks pregnant, when I was just starting to show. There was ample room for my bump, but the girls were definitely on display as well. It was forgiving enough, especially since I ordered before knowing exactly how big I might be. The event we went to was inside and outside, and the fabric wasn't super breathable, but the dress was flowy enough that I wasn't feeling hot or like it was too clingy. Would definitely recommend for anyone, really, but especially if you have an early baby bump and need something forgiving and flattering.

Roomy, but comfortable
I wore this to my grandfather’s funeral. Sized up because I wanted to air in the side of a little roomy or longer vs. too tight or short. I usually am somewhere between a M and L and could have gone with the medium but the large worked well! I got lots of compliments.

Perfect for my work event!
I wore this dress to an awards ceremony for my work. I could not have asked for a better fit. Perfect for a pear shape. Wasn't too heavy, despite all the embroidery. It also was wide enough so that I didn't have that weird armpit flab issue that dresses and shirts sometimes have. LOVED IT.

Versatile, comfortable, very forgiving!
This dress was 99% perfect! It didn't have a zipper, which can be an issue with some RTR dresses I have noticed in the past. The rouching is super forgiving so I didn't feel like I needed to suck in my stomach all night or anything. I got so many compliments! The only downside was how short the dress got when I sat down. I had to be very cognizant of sitting at the church and reception as to stay modest.

Perfect fit, nice quality
Loved this dress. It was a great length and weight. I was able to move around and didnt feel stuffy. It was bluer in person that I realized but perfect.

Super cute but a little heavy
These are definitely perfect, but after wearing them most of the day, my ears were pretty sore from the weight.

Perfect size
It fit my iPhone 8 Plus, which also has a pop socket on it. It also had enough room my chapstick and gum with room to spare.

Perfect weight, no need for a bra!
Size: I'm generally a size 6, but found that the size 8 fit better in the arms and torso. Pros: lightweight, but thick enough that I didn't need to wear a bra, which was great. I didn't feel restricted in movement when I wanted to dance or overheated. The sequins were enough to make the 80s-themed outfit sparkly, without looking tacky. I got a ton of compliments! Cons: the sequins on the sleeve caught onto the sequins of the torso a few times and the dress was a bit shorter than I anticipated. It wasn't uncomfortably short, but it's not something I would've chosen had it been a more formal work event. Also there is no zipper, so make sure you can slide the dress on and off on your own. I was able to, but it wasn't pretty!
