Loved the lace!
This dress has a great built in corset-type bodice that did not need a bra (I usually always need a bra). The lace at the neck is beautiful and sexy. The way it attaches at the back of the neck was secure, but not too tight. The length was perfect on me. I felt beautiful and comfortable in the dress.

Not for me
I love the design and was excited about the prospect of wearing a white dress to the gala but the white fabric is polyester that did not give enough structure to make the dress flattering in my opinion. It's all stretchy. That could be a plus because it's more forgiving size-wise but it hugged me in ways that aren't flattering. It was my back up dress and I did not end up wearing it. The off shoulder part is comfortable--the whole dress is comfortable--just not what I chose to wear.

Larger in the rear and hips
This dress seemed perfect for me, but was made for people built with more of a pear shape. The top part fit well, but was so hugely baggy in the hips and rear I did not want to wear it.

Loved this necklace!
I wore it with a white dress and it made me look like the "girl boss" I am. It is comfortable but should be worn over a dress, sweater, or top that comes up higher on the neck otherwise it may be uncomfortable.

So fabulous
I loved the dress! My friends loved it, too. My husband loved the lacy back. It is a no-brainer for when you want to go with black, but don't want to be boring. Rent this dress!

I love it so much I bought it!
This was in my first RTR Unlimited shipment and I was surprised to find out I could purchase it and keep it forever. The classic pinstripe fabric is substantial and flowy at the same time. The ties on the arms may get on your nerves, but if you tie them well, they should stay. I wore it with a grey pencil skirt, nude stockings, and navy blue pumps for a professional look.

Perfect Peacock Blue
The dress is a show stopper! It was very difficult to get the side zipper up, but once it was up it was ON and held everything in place perfectly. No need to wear a bra even though I am a 36d. The fabric does not have any stretch so keep that in mind. Everyone at the ball commented on the gorgeous peacock blue/teal color and how it was so flattering. I am very fair skinned and often struggle with color choices, but this color is fantastic.

So flattering!
I rented this dress for a Gala and it was perfect. Dressy but comfortable and I loved the way it showed off my legs at a party where long gowns were expected. The fabric was substantial enough and the fit was just right. I highly recommend this dress for any formal affair.

The fun tulle skirt paired with the flirty black lace bodice made this dress a showstopper.
I received so many compliments on this dress and my husband could not keep his eyes off me! It was comfortable and stylish. The 8 was ok, but was tight in the waist so I went with the size 10 for comfort. This dress is the perfect one to show off your legs! Sophisticated and fun!
