Fantastic color and hemline!

I paired this with black cowboy boots for a bbq work function. The color is a yellow-ish green (chartreuse?) and there's lots of stretch to the fabric. It's also very forgiving and flattering. Be prepared to iron it before you wear it. I received it clean, but it 100% needed to be steamed. It's a great casual dress.

Sexy Secretary

This dress is stunning in every way. It's conservative without being stuffy and sexy while still being office-appropriate. The lace is heavy and sturdy so I wasn't overly concerned with tearing it. It helps to have someone help with zippers and buttons, but it's not impossible to do yourself. I'd buy it in a heartbeat if I had ample opportunities to wear it.

"Your gown is absolutely exquisite." The compliments flowed all night.

RTR sent me this gown after my original one wasn't long enough. I was only able to wear 2" heels, but it worked wonderfully - which is considerable since I'm almost 5' 10". The material is thick, has a nice weight with pretty sparkles, and it covers up any lumps and bumps. A bra technically isn't needed due to the heaviness of the fabric, but I very much recommend a sticky bra for some lift since there is no built-in bra and the back is open. Since this dress was last minute and I didn't have a sticky bra, I had this weird baggy area on the front of my dress which hopefully wasn't too noticeable. Spanx also isn't necessary due to the weight of the fabric, but since I was able to wear them even with the deep v back, I did. Big mistake - this dress is HOT. I thought the long sleeves would be a plus since I'm always cold, but this dress is like the winter coat of gowns. Once the reception area filled up with people and I had a cocktail, I ended up needing to make a decision: I could either start sweating while talking to my husband's colleagues or take off the spanx and pop them in the trash in the restroom. I ended up throwing away my favorite pair that night since they wouldn't fit in my small clutch. Bottom line, this is a wonderful and beautiful dress. Wear it when you'll be out in the cold with a nubra and leave the spanx at home.

Wanted to love this dress.

This dress is a beautiful blush pink color and is extremely well made. Unfortunately, however, the bust was waaaaay to big for my 36C cup size and fit awkwardly in the middle, despite some pretty significant boning. It was a backup dress, and went back the next day.

Amazing dress to have fun, stand out, and own the party.

I wore this dress to an 80's Fall of the Berlin Wall party, and I couldn't have been happier. I wish I had a picture of the back which had cut outs, but were perfectly spaced so you can wear a normal bra but still show off sexy back muscles. I was stopped over and over again on how amazing the dress was. I paired with pink hair (to go with the pink linking!), fishnets and super-strappy stilettos. Note that if you have mile-long legs like me, the short ruffle side is pretty short - I had to make sure my spanx hose were pulled up all the way so you couldn't see the top black part. :) Great dress!!!
