I loved the way this dress looked on, but it was a lot heavier than I thought it would be. I definitely wouldn't wear this in the middle of the day outside, or even on a warm night.

The original backup sizes for other dresses were not available at the last minute so RTR called and let me choose other options. This was one of the other options and turned out to be my favorite!
I suggest going down a size. I went down a size for my backup dress and it was still a little too big. Not much, but I felt like I pulled it up a lot. Other than that, I LOVED this dress. It looks (and obviously is) expensive. You can tell when you pull it out of the bag, the way the material looks is expensive. It was fabulous. Everyone noticed and complimented me on it. And it's such a great dress because so many shoes and accessories work with it. Black shoes were so easy. And I could have worn silver or gold with it.

The most unbelievable thing about this experience is that literally every person I spoke to complimented me in the dress. They loved both the dress and how I looked in it and there's nothing more flattering than having a night full of fielding compliments
This fit absolutely perfectly. It definitely runs true to size. It's incredibly flattering since it hides your stomach, it'll make your chest look bigger if you're small chested but it won't make you look tacky if you have a chest. The material was a little thicker than I expected, but there's not wrong with that. Just be aware it's not a thin dress. Get help with the zipper, since it's hard to pull up at the section where the fabric changes colors. I went to a rehearsal dinner in this dress and the compliments were from young and old men and women. Everyone wanted it and thought it looked great.

I honestly think this dress fits about right, but that wasn't a choice! the only place I felt it was a little small was at the arms. It didn't feel super tight, but it took a little wiggling to adjust them properly. This dress is absolutely gorgeous in person. Much cuter in person and extremely flattering. it's also easy to dress up or down, depending on your accessories. I wore it two days in a row to completely different events and it worked at both!

Cowl Neck Sleeved Dress

I really loved this dress. It was a little snug up top and I have a small chest. If you have a bigger chest, definitely size up. The skirt is really lose and incredibly flattering. I rented this dress because it reminded me of something Kate Middleton would wear if she ever wore a strapless (I know she wouldn't, but it had that feel to it). However, I was a little disappointed because it doesn't come off as expensive as it actually is. I'm not saying it looks cheap, just not as expensive feeling as you think it would be. The color is beautiful, the detailing is beautiful. But if you are on more of a budget, I would pass on this dress. There are more dresses on here that are just as gorgeous and look more expensive in person.

I loved this dress. It's hard to tell, but there's a subtle accent piping (I'm not sure of the correct term) on the side that really flatters your figure and brings the rouching together. I think this dress is for someone who has more curves and a bigger chest than I do! It was difficult for me to fill out the dress, even though it technically "fit." I'm just pointing out that the brown strap is leather and chain, so it's not as innocently sexy of a dress as it first comes off to be. I wouldn't have worn it to a wedding. It seemed a little more appropriate for going out to a party or a girls night. Also, I wasn't a fan of the strip of fabric that hung off the side. It seemed to not ever look right and was really baggy, but you can kind of suck it into the dress and no one will notice. It was incredibly soft and comfortable. The material was light and almost slinky. Like I said, I wouldn't wear it to a wedding. It seemed to sexy for that.
