Pretty dress, not the wow factor I was hoping for
It's an interesting look, but not beautiful. The waist is definitely tight with no give to it, and it doesn't really do anything in the way of accentuating flattering curves. Probably best on a tall, skinny girl.

The most incredible dress to grace this earth.
The compliments I got on this dress at the wedding (at a castle in Spain...) were too many to count. I got "you look like a painting", "you're a vision", and "no way!". My facebook feed blew up when I posted pictures. I would have bought it, but alas, I do not have that kind of cash. Maybe one day. I did need to readjust throughout the night because it tended to slip slightly and get a little off center (as you can see in the second picture). No bra needed!

I wanted it to work so bad... It so didn't.
So flattering. An old dog could look good in this dress. But I don't know how anyone can actually wear it. The biggest issue is the straps, which are really weird. They just kind of loop around your shoulders and into your armpit, there's nothing actually holding them up. The second I slouched my shoulders or bent down to put on my shoes they were half way down my arms and the girls popped out. Second issue is the the way the bodice is styled. It hits the boobs in a weird spot so you have some quad-boob action. I wasn't really sure what to do about it. I coulda perked them up and over the trouble spot, but that was a little precarious, esp with the shoulder strap issue. I figure the only way to really wear this dress is with a lot of tape. I didn't have the guts.

Winner!
I didn't want to take this one off. It was perfect for an April wedding, super classy. Didn't need a bra and there's pockets!

Truly gorgeous dress, but be careful! It's very delicate.
Beautiful dress, I felt so lovely in it and was complimented constantly. The skirt was light and airy, it floated after me as I walked. However, the boning in the bodice isn't perfect so it pokes up the top and doesn't lie exactly as it does in the picture, which you can see in the selfie. Also, the skirt is very delicate and pretty much wants to rip itself. It will catch on everything, make sure you get insurance on this one!

Very classy. Better for a tall girl.
It was a little big in the bust, but the pockets were really nice. I'm a sucker for a dress with pockets. I didn't end up wearing it b/c I felt like I looked like a fancy sailor and the wedding is with a bunch of Navy guys. I didn't want to look like a poser. Also, it doesn't travel well. It came to me creased up in the skirt and I would have had to uncrinkle it. I'll be traveling to the wedding by motorcycle, so I chose the dress that was more durable.

Huge hit! Great for dancing and feeling pretty.
I was supposed to get this dress in green, but there was an issue. RTR sent this one to me instead and I was surprised how much I loved it. I normally would never pick gold and shimmery for myself, but it was wonderful. Even the bartender at the wedding wanted to know where I got it. Zipper is definitely a two-person assist. But its comfortable, moves well, and flattering. I'm 5'7.5" and got the long after reading the reviews, which was the right choice, esp with heels.

I spoke at my friend's rehearsal dinner. The Rabbi quoted my speech at the ceremony the next day!
It was flattering but a little short. The bust fit well, I'm pretty average up there. But it had obviously been worn before. Didn't smell like roses...
