Felt like a model!
This dress was everything I'd hoped it would be and more. Stunning and got many compliments and comfortable. I did choose to pin the straps since I like to raise my bustline with a bra (since nursing made it drop and thus although I could have worn it as is, it flattered me more making the black part of the dress a little higher if that makes sense). It was easy to do. But it did make the dress tighter so if you get 2 sizes get your normal size and one bigger if you think you would pin it also. Loved the pockets in the dress and just everything about it. My husband took one look at me and said "you should buy that dress" and I received many inquiries about it on social media. I wore it to a ball/gala.

Will rent again
After I finally found the hole to make the true wrap dress work I loved it. I'm 5'5" so it's a tad short but I wore it to a family dinner. Could be dressed up or down with black tights or nothing heels or flats. Easy to wear and flattering. I only got a picture sitting down which doesn't help anyone but I would definitely rent again for a shower or casual evening out or day event.

A standout!
My first RTR experience and could NOT be happier. The reviews were so helpful. This dress in my opinion is perfect for cooler weather because it is very short but even at 44 years old I felt comfortable wearing it with tights and high heels without feeling inappropriate at all. I don't typically wear short things but other people that recommended black tights were right that it helps. The dress because of the sequins is a bit heavy (which I think is a GOOD thing b/c I never worried the dress would ride up at all. It also made me feel warmer on a cold New England night for my husband's work party. I will wear this dress again in a heartbeat. Two small negatives is that another reviewer was right that the zipper for some reason kept creeping down despite the fact I wasn't even dancing. (It needs a clasp I guess). If you are going to be moving a lot or dancing I don't think this is a great dress but if you're going to be doing more standing at a cocktail party I think it's stunning and I received so many compliments and it was a standout for sure. Very comfortable!
