Very pretty cuff. Sparkly and made for the candlelight. I chose to wear my own cuff because I happened to have one that matched a new pair of smoky topaz earrings that just worked my dress and mood. But, I would order it again. It would look best with a solid color gown or ensemble with understated earrings . It is large and flashy, so you do not want to look garish by overdoing it with competing pieces or patterns. Also, this is a smaller cuff, but may be adjustable. I would ask a specialist.

Sexy.
Loved this dress. It fit like a glove on the bottom, but for me was a bit roomy on the top. However, part of the appeal is the contrast between the top and bottom. Fortunately, I had some handy wardrobe tape from a previous order with RTR and was able to comfortably wear the dress without compromising the lines. It is a beige silver color. If you look good in "cool" colors, this will work for you. The bottom is intended to be snug, so unless you are a runway model or haven't missed a pilates class, or eaten a carb in a few months...go for the spanx. Not to scare anyone away from this dress. Reviews help people make decisions so, without offending anyone, because all body types are beautiful: I wouldn't recommend it for a fuller figured friend unless they had a booty like Beyonce and a belly like Madonna. Tall girls and short girl in reasonable shape will look amazing in this well made, and seductively designed Italian number. Ciao.

Very cute dress!
Ordered as a back-up and didn't wear it to my event. This dress is perfect for a party or cocktail affair. It is flirty without being too young. It was a wee bit big on me, and if I ordered again I would go for a size smaller. However, the leg length was perfect. If you are long waisted, big breasted, or petite, I believe this dress probably fits true to size. Might want to consult before ordering. Charming and feminine.

Husband loved this one!
This dress was fun to wear. I put it on and felt comfortable all night. I was at the event before realizing I had put my arms through the wrong holes. Easily fixed. I loved the color and fit, but wore the 4 to feel comfortable in the chest area. I have a V-Shaped body and some dresses are too tight on top and too loose at the hips. This worked out perfectly. With heels this dress really shows up the leg due to the alternate contrast of flowing skirt vs fitted mid-section. A year later, a photo of me in this number remains my husband's phone screen-saver.

Perfect for a winter formal..
Wearing this lovely number was not only comfortable and beautiful but was a psychological boost as well. I was three weeks out of rotator cuff repair and could not believe my luck on finding this left shoulder draping beauty. First of all, who wants to show off fresh surgical scars and have people ask you all night, "What happened to you?" The dress was a comfortable fit for my frame. A note on fit: Larger busted girls may want to go up a size, but bear in mind the length for me was almost too long with heels and I am long-legged. The fit is flowing and fitted at the waist.

Received lots of compliments on the dress. Best compliment,,"You look amazing in this dress..where did you find it?"
Wearing this to an end of summer party tonight. Ordered the S and XS. The S was an just an ok fit with some gapping in the arms and a body skimming fit. The length is perfect for heels, hitting me at just above the knee. I am not wearing heels, because I want to be comfortable standing for several hours. This dress is not frumpy in any way if you remember this style from the 70's! The XS on me has a light, flowing look, with a slightly fitted body. If your girls are perky, a bit of tape to prevent party hats is all you need. If not, you will, like me, want to wear a strapless bra. The colors are cool and the pattern not overly taxing on the eyes, but rather gentle. Personally, I love the belt, as it gives me shape. Very excited about going to this party, wearing a dress that I wear and doesn't wear me. Thanks again RTR! Pics later :)

Gorgeous back-up dress
This is a very cute dress and was ordered as a back-up. At the time, I was a bit confused about sizing and was unsure about what length to expect, given my longish legs and short waist. Normally a 2-4, I ordered this in a 6 by mistake. Having said all that, I would have worn this to a less formal occasion and would have added a thin belt, as this has a rather boxy cut. If you are long waisted, with even proportions, I would say this dress as is, is a hit.

Sexy.
Wore this to the ASCAP awards and it was effortlessly sexy. This dress does all the talking. Great for those with a short waist and long legs. I have a round face and loved the V-neck.. The top is a little billowy, but this works because of the short dress length and long sleeves.

Sweet, formal, and comfy!
I wore this to a Music Industry function and it was perfect. I am short waisted, with a V build, and my legs belong on someone 2 inches taller. This one hit all the right notes, and I wasn't conscious of my dress for the entire 10 hours
