I loved this dress more than my wedding dress. Seriously. It was gorgeous! It's super flattering on and so so shiny. The color in photos makes it look silvery pink but I think that's because of the flash. In person its a nude/pink copper/gold color. It's very flattering and looked great with blush pink pumps. It runs about a size large so definitely size down. It is fitted right under the bust with plenty of room in the stomach and hips. The RTR size specialists recommended I get a 10 based on my height and weight, but I thought that would be too big based on all the reviews and what size I normally wear in gowns. I ordered a 6L and 8L and they both fit fine. The 6L fit perfectly! The length was great with 4 inch heels. For some reason the 8L seemed WAY longer than the 6L. The 8L fit, it had a little more room but it would have worked. As everyone else said, the dress is very low cut and tends to open but it was nothing that fashion tape and a safety pin didnt fix. I got so many compliments on the dress. It was a huge hit and I felt very comfortable and confident the whole night! I was definitely depressed when it was time to send it back. Do not hesitate to rent, you wont be disappointed!

The color came out beautifully, it was very saturated and vibrant. Great if you have olive skin and brown hair like me. It doesnt look like much when you pull it out of the box because its been flattened, but as soon as you put it on it fills out and gets more volume. The fit is pretty snug through the hips. Also, this dress is 100% silk and its unlined so i would recommend spanx unless you have zero cellulite. Here was my solution to the problem: I ended up wearing the back up size underneath my normal size. Since I was between a 6 and an 8, I decided wearing both would basically be like wearing the perfect slip and help to alleviate some of the problems that come along with wearing thin silk. It came out great! Wearing both dresses at the same time may sound crazy, but it gave the dress even more volume and no offense to Thakoon, but I think it looked better that way! So the moral of the story is, 100% silk can be unforgiving, but with the right undergarments (spanx) or just wearing both dresses they send (at the same time) this dress really shines! I received many compliments on it.
