Adorable
Very flattering fit and very cute dress. I felt tiny in it.

Hmmmm....
The dress was fine, but the fabric & print looks really cheap in person. Also, if you have a large bust, this shows a lot of cleavage. It was a bit high waisted on me and seemed to accentuate my stomach. Not a fave.

Fun, interesting dress!
I rented this dress for a work function. The blue teal color is great although a little understated. If you have a larger bust or carry weight in your stomach, I might recommend sizing up as it felt a bit clingy in those areas. The slit hit in an interesting spot (I'm 5'5" and it opened mid-thigh) but is not too revealing in my opinion. I have narrow shoulders and smaller arms proportionally so I found it to fit loose in those areas.

Soooo amazing!
I felt both skinny and totally badass in this dress. It's completely flattering and fun. The blue is beautiful! I was very bloated on the day I wore it and you could not tell. Would definitely recommend some Spanx/shape wear as I found the material around the tush to be a tad revealing.

Very cute but size down!
I found this big (whereas other DVF dresses have felt snug especially in the chest.) Very cute in person, great quality, would have definitely added a cami if I could have worn it.

Interesting...
This seems to fit small especially if you have a large bust. The tie is a bit weird to work. Also very sheer, more coverup quality in my opinion. Beautiful design but not my favorite in person.
Alannah Wrap Dress
Trina Turk
Size Worn: NONE
Usual Size: 8

Nice, typical work dress
Typical shift dress fit - not extremely forgiving, but stretched out as the day went on. The color seemed more like a pink tone to me.

Diamante Dress

Weird...
Cute concept but weird fit and definitely runs large (size down). I have narrow/small shoulders and a large bust so the v neck was too low on me & revealed too much cleavage. I tried adding a cami but it's not really the best combo.

Beautiful.
Beautiful, shiny material although very thin in terms of seeing lumps & bumps. I needed a cami for this one (32DDD) and found the fit of the chest to be tight.

Ah.Mazing.
I deeply love this dress. So much that I may buy it. The sleeves are fun as is the neck bow - just enough extra something something. The material in the stomach area is a bit showy - recommend Spanx with this one.

Love.
I felt amazing in this dress! Stunning. It is very forgiving in the stomach where I tend to be larger. Probably a bit borderline short for work (I’m 5’5”) but I may be more conservative than some.

This is a great dress - a bit tight fitting in the chest (I’m 32DDD) and in the stomach where I tend to carry extra weight, but still extremely flattering.

Cute - very flattering and forgiving in the stomach, where I carry extra weight. A bit short for work in my opinion (I am 5’5”) but very slimming overall .

This is amazing - very forgiving and flattering. I felt extremely confident. Obviously sheer in spots - a strapless bra may be helpful depending on where it falls on you.

Killer dress!
I felt amazing in this dress! So flattering and fun. Sexy without revealing too much. Super forgiving style. I received compliments all night. A few notes: Beware if you have muscular arms. Mine are fairly small and the fit felt tight but not uncomfortable. Also, this is a great dress for big busted ladies (plenty of room/stretch) and I was able to wear it with a regular bra with a deeper/plunge cut. At 5'5" this dress hit at mid-thigh.

Standout Dress!
This is a super fun, flattering, and extremely forgiving dress. It definitely stands out from the rest of the pack. The fit is intended to be a bit loose, fyi - more like a loose shift dress. I carry extra weight in my stomach and never felt self conscious in this dress. Also, I have a large bust (34DDD) + narrow shoulders and the shoulder to armpit area was still a bit loose on me. You'll definitely need a strapless bra.

Amazing dress in person!
This is a lovely dress - highly recommend. The fabric is not super forgiving, so I'd recommend going a size up for your backup dress.

The dress is super cute and perfect for a variety of event
The length was great (I am 5'5") and I did not have issues with the top/shoulder area being tight as other reviews have suggested, although my shoulders are narrow. I would not recommend this dress if you tend to carry extra weight in your stomach (the fabric still shows a lot even with Spanx). Also be prepared with a steamer - both dresses (including the backup size) arrived from RTR with quite a bit of large wrinkling, not exactly what I expected.
