I chose this as a backup dress for a recent event. The fabric of the dress has a lovely drape and the color is very pretty. But, the deep v-neck was WAY too deep for my comfort level. I could have used double sided tape, but even then, I would have felt really uncomfortable. My daughters asked me if I was supposed to wear a shirt underneath it! If you have the confidence of J. Lo and an edgier event, than give this dress a try...but probably not the best choice for a more conservative gathering. I went with the Trina Turk St. John gown instead and it was perfect (and also completely different.) Also, felt the dress ran a little small, so if you are between sizes, go for the larger.

I wore this to an outdoor museum benefit and it was a perfect choice! The color is a lovely emerald green and the fabric is lightweight and moves with the breeze. I got compliments all night from both men and women. I am 5' 7" and the length was perfect for me wearing Tory Burch sparkly flips...between the roominess of the dress and not wearing heels, I don't think I have ever felt as comfortable at a dressier event! I probably could have gotten a 4, but the halter straps that tie at the back of your neck help pull the dress up to where it needs to be and can be tightened/loosened. I didn't need to wear any undergarments. Looked great with a loose messy bun, dangly earrings and gold bangles. Would love to own this dress! The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because when it arrived, it was extremely wrinkled and I needed to get it steamed...but I am not sure how you could mail this dress and keep it wrinkle free. Thank you RTR!

I recently rented this dress for a black tie party just before Valentine's Day. When I was browsing it immediately caught my eye, and reading other's reviews it confirmed my decision. My first choice dress was another Yigal Azrouel and chose this one as a back-up. When I opened the package, RTR actually had sent me the first choice wrong dress, but when I tried on the Selma gown, it fit perfectly and looked so elegant. I am 5' 7" with a long waist and shorter legs. I wore this with about 1 1/2" heel and the length was perfect. I didn't need a bra, but did choose to wear Spanx underneath to smooth out my mid section. Probably didn't need it. The fabric is light and has a lovely drape. The slit in the front does come up a little high, but it added some sexiness to the dress without it being over the top. I got tons of compliments all night, but the best part was that I felt great and mu husband loved it :) I would upload photos, but the files are too large. Highly recommend!
