Perfect for a summer wedding
Very comfortable and pretty dress that was perfect for a wedding with an ambiguous dress code. I got complements all night! It was the perfect length with flat sandals (I'm 5'7"), so definitely go for the longer length if you are wearing heels.

Fun, light, sparkly earrings.
Great addition to a law prom outfit as part of my "mystery bling". Earrings were fun and sparkly without being over the top or too heavy.

Gorgeous bright blue dress perfect for formal occasions.
I've worn this same style dress in a different color before, and LOVED the blue for my law school formal at an aquarium. Fits true to size, though the zipper is definitely a two person job. I was able to wear a normal bra, which was a plus as I am very busty, and the cinched waist gave me an amazing hourglass shape. I wore the R length because I wanted to wear flats, but anyone over 5'7 who wants any sort of heel should get the L length.

Very flirty and fun!
I rented this as a super backup for a cocktail event and didn't end up wearing it. I thought it was really fun, but it was REALLY short and not appropriate for what I wanted to wear it to (I'm a very busty 5'7). This dress would be much better for a girls night out.

Fun cocktail dress
I wore this for a cocktail event and it was a fun, comfortable dress. The fabric is pretty heavy, but has a good amount of stretch so you feel comfortable without being in something that shows of every bump. I loved not having to wear Spanx and wearing a normal bra. Great with tights and booties for fall.

Gorgeous dress for a wedding!
This was a "crap all of my dresses fell through please help!" pick and it was amazing! I wore this dress to a wedding in Central Park, and it was very comfortable and easy to dress up or down. I was not able to wear heels with the regular length, but wearing flats around New York is not the worst thing in the world. I tried both the 12 and 14 (I'm normally a 12), and both fit fine. I ended up going with the 14 because it had a little more room in the bust, so it was easier to make my bra straps stay put. RTR totally came through on this one.

Used this necklace to fill in the neckline on a low cut dress. Was gorgeous without being too heavy.

LOVED this dress. I did have to use tape along the bust to make sure my bra didn't show, but it fit well. If you want to wear heels, definitely order the longer dress as I had to wear flats. If you are smaller in the chest, I would also recommend sizing down as the dress was large in the shoulders and had LOTS of room at my hips.
