Beautiful statement piece!
Not too heavy or costume-like. Loved this because it was appropriate to wear in a conservative workplace situation. Great way to dress up a boring work outfit.

Very classy and beautifully made dress.
Pros - gorgeous material, classy but flattering cut for a more conservative event. Cons - arms were really tight. I usually wear a 4 and sized up to 6 because of the arms. Even so, it was still tight and slightly uncomfortable. Size up and this is a beautiful dress. Perfectly paired with a statement necklace.

Didn't end up wearing it
I rented this for my graduation but the weather was unseasonably cold so I didn't wear it. I tried it on to wear a couple days later but decided against it. The fit was not very flattering. It made my hips look wide because it flared out in the wrong spots. The neckline and fit in the bust aren't flattering if you have some chest. The fabric is very pretty and I liked the colors but the fit just didn't work for my body.

Nice surprise
When I rented a dress, I got an email from RTR asking if I wanted a surprise accessory for an extra $10. I agreed and was sent this necklace. It didn't go with the dress I rented - I wouldn't have paired the two but I didn't end up wearing the dress I rented. And, instead, I paired this with a black dress and it looked great. I gave it 4 stars because the chain was kind of tarnished and the clasp was very difficult to open and close.

Beautiful beautiful necklace!
I wore this to dress up a conservative dress at a work event. It's so beautiful in person - I got so many compliments. I wore it for about 6 hours and by the end of the night, it did get heavy. But I don't usually wear necklaces so if you're used to heavier statement pieces, you could probably wear it even longer. So beautiful. Wish I owned this!

Good, not great.
I wore this to tea and to a graduation party. I just wasn't excited about how this looked on me. It was plain and not very flattering. It's shorter than I expected but that wasn't a negative - just shorter than it looked in other photos. It got really wrinkled when I was sitting. The color is bright and pretty but the dress itself is kind of plain. It definitely needs a statement necklace and/or statement shoes. There's some give in the dress and the skirt is a fit and flare so it's forgiving in the hip area.

Fun, flashy dress
I rented both the 4 and the 6. I usually wear a 4 but this dress is very short and a little snug in the hips so I went with the 6. The 4 fit great in the shoulders and bust but bunched up and didn't lay smooth around the hips. Even the 6 didn't lay completely flat which was annoying. I think it's the weight of the dress. It's heavy but not uncomfortable. One weird thing that you can't tell in the model photo is that the dress has a zipper in the back that goes all the way to the bottom of the dress. It's mostly hidden but I was surprised that the zipper itself looked pretty cheap. The low back is a really beautiful detail. I ended up wearing this with tights because it was freezing. I thought it worked well with tights - and I didn't have to worry about it being too short. It is a short dress - even on me and I'm only 5'5. I can imagine it being too short on a taller girl. All in all, this was a fun dress to wear. Sequins!

Beautiful, simple detail
Comfortable - wore them all night long while I danced. I wore them with the Milly Card Dealer Sheath (a pretty loud dress) so they were the perfect addition without being too much. Definitely recommend!

Pretty, classic but runs large
I'm not sure if it was just the particular dress I got but I ordered a size 2 and a size 4. The size 2 fit SO BIG. I didn't realize it was so big at at first but later in the night, my friend ended up having to pin me into this dress. I usually wear a size 4 so that was surprising. I would say that there was a good half inch of fabric on each side that I ended up pinning. In general, the dress is very classic and pretty. The pockets are great! The neckline is low but not scandalous. I wore a backless stick-on bra and that worked well. The dress definitely isn't as short as it looks on the model.

Feeling fabulous!
This really is a gorgeous dress. The skirt is a little tight to get in and out of cars but, in general, I felt that it fit well, maybe even a bit large. The only thing that made me give it 4 stars instead of 5 is that you could tell it had been used many, many times. The fabric was a bit worn. Still got so many compliments and felt great wearing it. I would definitely buy this dress.
