Didn't wear but good
This dress would have been GREAT but it ran a bit big overall, so I didn't wear it. I will definately be a future choice!

STATEMENT PIECE
Faux fur is very hot right now and this jacket did not disappoint. Color in my photo is a bit off but it is a deep pink as shown in RTR photos. It is roomy and comfortable. It is very plush. It is also warm, so if you are going to keep it on indoors, it works draping it off your shoulders. It matches wonderfully with Slate & Willow Accessories Rose Gold Ear Jackets and WATTERSb Blush Aldridge Gown.

I got "Wow!" all night long ..
Fit great. I am 5'8" and had 5 inch heels on. I ordered the long and it was still short but at least I wasn't tripping on it while I danced or walked. It was very comfortable for sitting/walking. Hugs the body well. Was not scratchy under arms from sequins. Definitely recommended!

WORE IT BACKWARDS * GORGEOUS DRESS
I can't stand wearing a dress right up to my neck, I feel like I'm choking. Plus I have a large chest so often the girls are mashed. If the dress has a side zipper, its easy to wear it backwards. I stitched the cowl neck into a v-neck as shown in the first picture. Second picture shows dress still fit fine though wearing it backwards. Not scratchy on underarms, or legs, but hair does snag a bit on sequins. Compliments from everyone all night!

A BIT SMALLER/SLIMMER THAN USUAL
I was surprised that this dress ran a bit smaller than their other dresses, which i have worn before. Perhaps because it was more of a sheath style. I have a large chest so I could not zipper the last 4 inches at the top. I had to switch and opt for the "W"s size for the extra room on top, in the gold color. That worked.

VALENTINE PERFECTION
Loved this dress. First photo shows the deep v-neck in the front. Be prepared to show cleavage. Second photo shows overall style, flirty skirt, flattering cut around v-neck. Third photo shows length. Material is a bit heavier (almost spongy, no wrinkles after sitting). Comfortable to walk, sit, eat and dance in. I have a very large chest, so I tend to get my "size" and backup in larger size. I was able to wear my regular size in this dress with it still being roomy.

LOVE IT IN EVERY COLOR
This is a VERY reliable dress for me .. I have ordered it in every color it comes in for many different events. I posted THREE photos. First picture shows the wonderful sequin detail. Second shows overall look, length and fit. Third shows how deep the v-neck is, and it is DEEP. So if you want to show cleavage, this is the dress. Some have complained that there is too much material in the stomach area. It is not a "form-fit", it is nicely loose in my opinion so feel free to eat! It is super comfy to dance in. Some have complained about under arm scratching, I did NOT have this problem. I feel the dress run true to size/slight big.

WAY TOO BIG
I have a very hourglass figure, so often I need more material for my chest area, and why I order a "womens" size dress.. But this dress was baggy all over. I literally could have hid a watermelon under my dress. I was not overwhelmed with tthe pattern either.

FAVORITE RENTAL
GORGEOUS! Non stop compliments! Here's the stats & tricks: ONE this is a shift, not body hugging. I took a black bobby pin on each side at bra line to "clinch" material a bit to give shape under breast. (black pins wont show on outside of dress, under you arms with sequin detail). TWO with large chest, which takes more material, dresses tend to be shorter (see pic 2), I am 5'8" and felt it was a bit short, so wore black knit skirt so when I sat everything was covered. THREE sequins are not shiny, they are matte (see pic 3). Design and ombre is breathtaking. If you have long hair, it will snag on sequins. But not scratching under arms. I recommend this dress!! Very comfortable to dance and sit/eat in.

WORE IT BACKWARDS .. YES I DID
Sometimes you have to improvise! I have a big chest and often I have to size up to fit the girls in! Wearing this backwards, with a tank underneath, I had a DRAMATIC COWL neck sequin dress that was a SHOWSTOPPER! Nothing but compliments all night long! Very comfortable, and was not baggy in any area even though I wore it backwards. Don't be afraid to think out of the box because it worked for me !!! SEE ALL 3 PHOTOS !! Love to RTR CSV (Melanie), she is the BEST! Thanks for your help!

LOTS OF CLEAVAGE
This dress is Hollywood glam all the way! If you want to show the "girls", this is your dress! I got this dress in 2 sizes, one dress actually had a stitch added from a previous renter to close the front a bit. It does fit true to size BUT it appears bigger because of the gathered material in front of the abdomen area. Because of the sequins, your hair will cling to it.

SEQUIN BLING !!
Could not wear/fit but I wish I could have. NOT much stretch at all. Even with the XL, dress runs small, I could not get chest in (D+) so would recommend size up for backup. VERY deep v-neck, expect to show cleavage. Not quite maroon in color (shoes are red/maroon, dress more dark purple maroon). Definitely a "look at me" dress, it is GORGEOUS!

STAR-STUDDED FLATTERING STATEMENT
This dress was a DREAM .. It was sent as a last minute replacement when the dresses I had ordered didn't fit .. The material is super STRETCHY .. It is VERY comfortable .. Sequins under the arms are NOT scratchy like some dresses are .. Looks more like silver color, than pin ... Has a deep v-neck .. Definitely recommended ..

COMFORTABLE, TERRIFIC DETAIL
I got the smallest size this dress came in, which I knew would be a bit loose, which it was. The detail of this dress is a gorgeous scrolling. Just enough cleavage to be sexy. Perfect for large chest. Very comfortable material, easy to move in/sit in. Not too short, nice length.

BEAUTIFUL DETAIL, BUT NOT FOR LARGE CHEST
This had beautiful detail. More for a slim body style. Runs small, especially around the chest area. No give in the material.
