I had a formal NYE wedding to attend, and rented this one months in advance after reading many reviews/photos. I'm 5'7 and pear shaped, so I ordered the Large long. This dress runs SO short, but lower heels would show w the back slit. It was warm for a northern winter wedding, stretchy for dancing, and had the most beautiful green sequined design against the black dress. The back is completely open so I got sticky cups online and had to ditch the Spanx as it was exposed. Loved this dress!!!

The lace at the bottom is much prettier in person and matches the rest of the dress' color. The material is a stiff and heavy taffeta. Although the shape is great, it was too shiny and reminded my friends and I of a great formal bridesmaid dress. Not for me, I chose another dress from my unlimited plan to wear for the wedding I was attending.

(Sorry for the powder room selfie!) I wore this to a wedding last weekend as a part of Unlimited plan.It was a spectacular vibrant turquoise color with a noticeably textured flower pattern. The dress was perfect for my pear shape! It is a little heavy of a fabric, but felt like a good quality material. There's an extra bra-like clasp in the back that was great security I was not going to pop out of this dress no matter how hard I danced. I wore my hair up, but regretted it as it looked a little prom/Audrey hepburn like. I paired with black heels as they looked the best vs nude. I'd definitely order this again (and in the multiple other it comes in.) Gorgeous!

RTR sent this as an extra option as my preferred dress was unavailable. it is a stunning bright olive color (not chartreuse as pictured.) They sent me a medium not knowing I was preggo, and whoa did it cling and show every ounce of cellulite I didn't know I gained with this pregnancy. It was horrifying. The dress was gorgeous and maybe could be used for maternity, just order a size up since it's clingy.

I could post a much more flattering picture of me from the wedding, but if you're on here preggo and looking for options this shot should help more. This dress is amazing for maternity, I'm usually a size 8 at 5'7 and 144, now 7 months preggo I'm up 20lbs so I wore the Large Long and it was perfect with flats gold sandals. Please note, there's some definite finagling you have to do for the bust. after trying many different bra options on, I bought a strapless bra at target that had sticky small sides. Then I had to buy fashion tape since the crepey material slid down the gold neck chain all night. Totally worth it though, forget those expensive ugly maternity dresses. I felt gorgeous in this!
