How the dress made me look so skinny!
I read other reviewers and sized up and it fit great. It was loose on the bust size but was fitted around the waist area and made me look skinny which is great because I gave birth 5 months ago! Finding a pink dress that isn't too girly or too bright was hard but this pink is perfect! It's light pink and lacey and very appropriate for a bridal shower or as a wedding guest ( which I did wore for both events!). It's very easy to move in and it isn't too short so when you sit down it still hits between the knees and thigh area. I love this dress!!!! It made me very happy

New Year Eve with amazing friends!
I wore this to a new year eve party and I just gave birth a month before so I wanted to wear something comfy yet sophisticated. This was a perfect combination. It's a shift dress so it is a bit big which is good if your hiding a tummy which I was! But whenever I sat down the dress would rid up and you could totally see my underwear- so that was very annoying and that was why I gave it 3 stars.

How sexy I felt in this dress at 7 months pregnant!
I was looking for a form fitting dress that wasn't too tight. It's hard to find a dress for someone whose pregnant because if it's too loose you would have that is she or isn't she look. And I wanted to look like I was carrying! It was very comfortable and may have hit my rib a bit due to the top but it was wearable. The size 10 would have been more comfortable but it didn't really fit my top, it was too big. The 8 was better. I love the color and fit. I wore 4 inch heels and it was perfect for the height of the dress. I also wore a strapless bra but you could do without since the top is against your chest and there wouldn't be any spillage. This dress is perfect I would wear it if I wasn't pregnant. I also have to thank the salesperson (forgot her name) who helped me because I didn't even chose this dress. She chose it for me. I would have never thought I would like this style, I'm not a fluffy type of person but it made it more feminine.

The perfect ensemble
I'm a total noob when it comes to jewelry so I really didn't know how or where to put on the earring cuff. I realized at the end of the night I had it on wrong the whole time. It was a really beautiful additional to my outfit but I wish rtr would put a picture of the piece on a model so I know how to strategically place it.

Getting surprises in the mail!
I thought it was really cute and the stylist did chose something that actually matched my hairstyle. I received an ear cuff so if you part your hair on one side it would really show but if you didn't it wouldn't be worth it. I was actually expecting the necklace that went with the model on my dress but it's a surprise so can't complain!
The freebies that come with it!
The dress is really pretty but it seemed too busy of a pattern for anyone to concentrate on. I'm usually a size 4 but had to wear the 6 because it fitted more with my top half. It's not form fitting tight , it's pretty comfortable which was the reason I rented it. It looks long which you can wear it for formal affairs but it definitely rises high up when you sit down so it was uncomfortable for me in that regard. I do like the pockets but because the material is soft I wouldn't put anything heavy in there. The top button on the back of the dress was very difficult for me to open which is weird because it seemed easy enough but took me a while to unbutton it . It was a pretty dress but looks so-so on me.

The dress was beautiful but...
This is what happens when it fits your hips but not the bust. I should have worn the 6 but then it would look frumpy on me. I felt that it was too tight in the bust area and made me feel restricted but the hips/waist was a perfect fit. I love the colors and how bright it was. Wore it to a tea party with the ladies. This is perfect for a girls date or daytime event.

Unique Dress
I love colorful dresses!!!! Wearing this made me feel like I was wearing a piece of art. Usually for weddings I usually wear soft silk or fancy looking material (AKA SHINY) so this was a bit different for me because this is cotton but the design, style, and fit of the dress makes it look fancy enough for a wedding. I received many compliments on this dress since it is different from the typical solid color garments. This looks better on the person than if you saw it on the rack. It is fitted around the waist and makes you looks skinnier which is awesome. It has pockets but I didn't really utilize them. The cons of having pockets IS if you are standing taking pics from the side view, it may pop out and gives you a look that you have a big tummy when you really don't. So I have to make sure I was standing with my body facing the camera for the dress to not show the pocket bump.

Great if you want to Sparkle.
I really liked the dress when I saw it on the website and it looks super sparkly and just BAM when I received it in the mail. It is nice for people with bigger bust and smaller waist so this ruched waist can emphasis this and I am sure my husband liked it but I am so -so. It fit perfectly, the only complaint I have is the cleavage is a bit too low. If you are not wearing a bra that isn't a problem but I HAVE to wear one, so you are able to see my bra from the side or sometimes full frontal ( pictured) . So it can be annoying to try pulling up the dress to hide the bra. I guess you could wear a specific bra with a low front. Even though you think the sequin material may scratch your underarms, it was surprisingly comfortable and did not. I matched the gold dress with my purple heels and a simple bracelet.

Looking amazing in the RTR dress!
Decided to wear the size 40 even though it was a bit snug on top. Size 42 did fit on top but my waist is smaller so it seemed like it was hanging off me. Size 42 also had bigger arm hole sleeves so I just decided to wear the 40. I am an hourglass figure with a full bust and I usually wear size 4-6. The only con was the hook on the top of the zipper was broken. That's fine but it wasn't in perfect condition in terms of that. I received compliments on the dress- I thought it was a perfect floral dress to wear to a summer country club wedding. It was short enough to feel sexy but long enough to still be appropriate. When i first received the package and looked at the dress I thought it looked a bit different than the picture shown but that was because there is alot of patterns going on, when you wear it, it just exactly how I imagined it. The fabric was very silky, it made me feel rich! I really loved this dress!
