Color is gorgeous..
Goes great with jeans and a tee. Arms a little short (I'm tall). Leather soft and buttery. Super cute

A little plain for a formal affair.
This was my backup dress. It was nice for a daytime or cocktail event, but not special enough for the formal occasion I attended (it was a replacement dress sent by RTR). The cap sleeve was pretty but the waist was not that flattering. Very dark navy. Fit a little large.

Gorgeous color, but the neckline lining showed
Wore this dress to a black tie gala. The fabric and color is fantastic and it is very comfortable. However, both dresses sent by RTR had problems with the neckline... instead of the fabric laying flat across the chest, the lining peeked out along both sides of the neckline. I tried using bra inserts and dress tape but it did not help. If you are small busted, you will not feel as exposed but the top may feel a little large.

Versatile, tone of compliments
I wore this with an LBD, with jeans and tees, and with a work suit. It looked great to no matter what I paired it with. Would definitely rent again.

Sexy and Comfy, perfect to stand out at a formal event
This was my backup and was brilliant. I wore it to the ACM Awards in Dallas where I was moving around all night and was sooo comfy. It was not so thin that it showed every imperfection (although I did wear spanx and a stick-on bra). It was nice and long (I'm 5'11"); I wore with 3.5" wedges. I accented with bold gold bangles and necklace and got compliments all night. Best part.. it felt like I had spent 10 hours in my PJs. Will rent again.

Edgy and fun
Wore these to the CMAs.. they added a nice edgy touch to my dress. While I was worried about the weight my ears felt fine after the end of a long night. Would definitely rent again.

swimming in it
This was enormous on me and looked like a giant sack. I have tried to rent this dress several times before without success and was excited to finally wear it. It looked awful and had to go back. Suggest you talk to a stylist for sizing before renting. I like the idea of this dress but would hesitate to try it again for the price.

Not for long-waisted bodies
I rented this for the CMA Awards and could not wear it. The line of the waist hit too high and the hem on the right was way too short. The unfinished edge cheapened the overall look. The fabric was a pretty soft grey color but this dress is probably better on shorter bodies, not someone almost 6'.

CLASSY and unique... stood out in a sea of LBDs
Beautiful dress, elegant and sophisticated. Easy to wear with a strapless bra and spanx. Would probably look a little better on someone with a bigger chest.. I had to use cutlets to fill our the top and it still bagged a little. I paired with dark Badgley glitter pumps for an edgier look.

Stunning and a bit edgy, albeit heavy
Loved these earrings, paired them with an emerald Yigal Azrouel Samos gown and they were perfect. Wore them all night from 4-2am and had no trouble, despite them being on the heavy side. The chain makes them a little edgier and fun, not just pretty.

SO comfy, like wearing your jammies all night.
Super comfortable gown with easy undergarments. I wore it to the ACM Awards and received a ton of compliments on the red carpet. The long was plenty long, although I should have sized down (I usually wear a 6 or 8 and the stylist recommended a 10, the 8 would have been fine). I wore with a strapless bra and spanx type tummy panel shorts. Paired with Erickson Beamon Yours to Keep Emerald earrings which were PERFECT, along with thee Kenneth Jay Lane gold leaf cuff and nude peep-toe heels. Sure winner.

Compliments all night long. Comfy .. but SHORT
Was a little concerned that the top was too plain and the skirt too short for my age. I wore this to the CMA Awards and got compliments all night long. It was very comfortable and I didn't need to wear any special undergarments (although control top hose tricky due to the short skirt). The peek-a-boo pink makes the dress; I wish there had been a necklace or earring available to better pull this color out up top. A bootie helped balance the short skirt.

Very lightweight, added an edge to the simple neckline on the dress
These looked plain in the box but looked great on. They added a slight modern edge to the dress. I wish they had been a little more pink to better match the peek-a-boo lining on the dress.The pale peach was a little washed out.

Looks like lingerie, runs small
This looked to me like lingerie and I did not end up wearing it. The MED was TINY - fit like a 2 or 4. I am tall (5'11") and could not ever see wearing this.

Stunning, comfortable and easy to wear.
Loved this dress. The color is a little more purple than plum. I wore it to a formal with Erickson Beamon earrings and received a ton of compliments. Underneath I wore a shapewear "short" with no obvious seams.. the back is not so low that you can't have some tummy panel help. You need to wear a stick-on bra, but the draping on the sides and back helps disguise any underthings. The long was a little short for my 4" heels (I am 5'11") but otherwise a hit. I danced for 3 hours in it with no "oopsie" moments! I would rent it again in a heartbeat.

AMAZING, it broke my heart to ship them back.
These earrings are stunning and so comfortable to wear. I have sensitive ears and was worried about the size, weight and potential for irritation. The colors in these earrings are glorious, I paired with a plum DVF gown and they were perfect. They would look great with many dress colors. I wore them from 6 to 1am and danced for several hours with no problems whatsoever. I HATED having to send them back. I might have to buy them.

Not good for a small bust
I am tall (5'11") and relatively thin with a small bust. The coral color was lovely and the slit is great, but I looked pear shaped when I put it on. I think you need a decent bust to balance the draping and the way the fabric lays on the hips.. that or be rail thin with no hips to speak of.
