OMG THIS DRESS. I LOVE IT. AMAZING. AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING.
HOWEVER - it is HEAVY. It's definitely up there with the heaviest things I've ever worn. And it's REALLY long - even with 3-inch pumps on, it still dragged several inches onto the ground so I had to carry the skirt around when I walked most places (stairs were really hard! - I was still able to drive in it though, which is astonishing!). I ordered a 6 as a backup size just in case and I didn't even need to open that one - the 4 is *almost* perfect, except for the length. Be advised that you need a really specific kind of bra with this gown, because the back is pretty low. It was also a bit hard to zip but I got around that by closing the dress in front and then turning it around and putting my arms through, the way I put on my bras - but if you have a wider torso, this might not be an option for you. Also, the material isn't what it looks like in the picture - the photos make it look like a shiny, sort of silky dress - the inside lining is, and it actually found the lining to be prettier than the outside. The actual material is thick and not quite completely black, more like a charcoal, and the double stitching around all the seams is visible. All in all, I still give it 4 stars. I'd give it 4.5 if i could, because except for the length (there should be a petite size for this, PLEEEASE) it was just glorious. I wore it to a black tie gala at work, and it was exactly what I was hoping it would be. Would absolutely use RTR again and would hands down rent this dress again - I felt sexy and glamorous and it was FUN and I didn't want to send it back!
