Comfortable and glamorous
Like others have said, despite being sequined this dress is extremely comfortable. I’m 5’9” so the slit was a little high on me but not bad enough not to wear it. It really looks so much nicer in person than in photos. The size 2 was a little snug and the size 4 was a tiny bit large but I ended up wearing the 4 with no regrets.

Horrible zipper
It's cute I guess but nothing about the fabric or overall look screamed "this is a $500 dress". Also, like others have mentioned, the zipper is nearly impossible to zip up.

A must rent
As other renters have stated, you will get a ton of compliments! I wore this to a very windy outdoor wedding and it was absolutely perfect. Even with 30 MPH winds the dress stayed down. It's ultra comfortable too, like wearing a silky nightgown. I would buy it if it wasn't so out of my price range.

Sleeves were too short for my taste
I hated this. It's boxy and unflattering and the sleeves were way too short on me.

Wore for my wedding
Much more sparkly than the photos show. I thought it went perfectly with my dress and other jewelry!

Would have purchased if RTR offered a good discount
Gorgeous earrings! I'd consider them to be medium weight so I used adhesive earring support patches (google it, they're a game changer if heavy earrings bother you). They're much more sparkly than the pictures portray. They have lovely movement and were great!

Scratchy neck
I hated this. It's boxy, the arms were too short (I'm 5'9"), and despite having a pretty small neck, this felt like I was being slowly strangled.

Comfortable and warm enough for Midwest winter
I didn't think I'd like this dress because the buttons are kind of large and floppy (and non functional). But after wearing it all day I don't want to take it off. It's extremely comfortable and has a bonus weird quirk that I like: the armpits aren't super tight. For some reason when shirts or dresses hug tight under my arms it makes my armpits sweat.

Cute style but already piling a lot
I love the corset detail in the back but the sweater I was sent already had significant piling on the back.

Like others have said, the turtleneck is LOOOONG
I'm always cold so wearing this sweater dress wasn't a problem for me. But if you find certain heavy sweaters make you over heat you should skip this. As a tall person, I enjoyed the extra long sleeves that others have commented on. I often have the opposite problem. I wouldn't wear this again but it was fine to wear once. The neck is very long and will likely touch your chin. The knit looks high end and expensive.

I received many compliments on this dress. I wore it with flats and it was definitely long enough.
This dress is so flattering! I felt it ran a tiny bit small (especially in the bust) so I went with the larger of the two sizes I requested.

Beautiful dress! You'll get tons of compliments.
As the other reviews state, the zipper is AWFUL. I needed a second person to use pliers to finish zipping it up despite the fact that it fit great and the zipper wasn't getting caught on any fabric. Other than that, I loved this dress. I wore the regular length with flats and it was plenty long enough.
