I wore this to a black tie wedding and received a lot of compliments on the dress. It fit well and accented my waist nicely. As someone with a larger chest, I definitely loved the one-shoulder top that meant I could wear a one-strap bra and never had to be tugging at the dress. The pockets were an added bonus and I didn't have to carry a clutch to the wedding (they were fairly large too, fit my phone, lipstick, compact and keys). I am 5'7" and the dress *just* skimmed the floor. I had no shoes to wear with it, but luckily found a pair of black strappy flats that worked perfectly. The big issue I had was that my first choice size arrived with a broken zipper. The little piece that sticks out that you pull on (whatever that's called) was broken off. I could slide the zipper down, but between my husband and I, we couldn't get it to go back up; there just wasn't any leverage or anything to pull on. My backup size was one size smaller. It was only a little bit tight in the waist, but not uncomfortable and probably looked better, more form-fitted, than my regular size. So perhaps a blessing in disguise. The unfortunate thing I've noticed with a few RTR dresses I've received is that they don't seem to have been dry-cleaned between wearings. Not dirty, but it makes them seem a little less crisp and I wonder if it was another person's backup size they didn't wear, but tried on and pulled in and out of the bag, making it seem worn.

This jumpsuit was so fun! Wore it to a friend's bachelorette party that had sort of informally had a little black dress theme, but I wasn't in the mood for a dress and came across this instead. I got both the 12 and 14r and ended up wearing the 14, didn't even try on the 12 because my chest just fit into the 14. It was roomy in the hips, fitted at the waist and top. I got a ton of compliments from complete strangers. Downsides: as with any jumpsuit, going to the bathroom is incredibly awkward when you have to basically undress. The fasteners and zipper were not impossible to do up by myself, but much easier with someone to help. The length was short and I should have gone with the long but didn't. I am 5'7" and the regular went to just above my ankle. It looked perfectly fine to me and showed off my shoes so I didn't really mind. Upsides: everyone was freezing in their cocktail dresses and I was much better off in this. It is lined, so adds a little warmth for comfort. Never got too hot though. The top is very flattering to the arms, and cuts across the shoulders perfectly to hide that little armpit roll we all try to disguise. The waist is fitted in one spot and creates a great silhouette where it flows a little above the waist. The back detail is super cute and adds a little something extra. It also has pockets, which is always a plus for a night out.

I love love love this dress so much, but I couldn't wear it! The waist was a little snug, but very flattering - the stripes and cut of the fabric worked extremely well in the waist area. However, the bust would not work for me no matter what I tried. There is some boning sewn in, which would have made it possible to go bra-less if only there were more fabric in the bust! The cut on the side of the bust fell in a very strange place for me and made me sort of pop out the sides of the dress; also made the halter pull quite a bit on my neck, uncomfortably so. I tried wearing a strapless bra, which the dress covered in the back, but the sides of the bra showed out the sides of the front of the dress due to that severe cut. The fabric is navy and cream, as shown, and both colors have a sparkly silver thread sewn in. The dress did arrive with a small stain, and did not appear to have been cleaned, which was disappointing, but I couldn't wear it anyway, so it didn't end up mattering. The fabric is also heavy and ends up draping very nicely in the skirt. Would be perfect for a semi formal or formal wedding or event - the length and style are more formal, but the fabric makes it more versatile.

Wore this to a groom's dinner - very comfortable, cute, and flattering. It is a sweater material and was perfect for fall weather. I ordered a size XL with no backup because the L was not available during my event. The XL was large on me (typically wear a 12, maybe 14 if the bust needs to be larger), but the XL was definitely oversized. Because of the boxy cut, it ended up draping nicely and didn't look like I had on the wrong size. Got a lot of compliments on the dress, would wear again!

This dress is very flattering and I received compliments all night long. The color is gorgeous. Like the pictures show, the cutout is revealing if you have a large bust (as I do), so it may not be the right dress for you if you are self conscious in that area. The waist was fitted, but actually a little bit loose on me. Overall, would definitely rent this dress again - beautiful, fun, and unique!

I got SO MANY compliments on this jumpsuit! The color is absolutely stunning and the cut is very flattering. The material is heavy without being too warm, and it makes things look "smooth" in potentially unflattering areas. I have full hips, so it was a little snug right at my widest part, but not uncomfortably so - I could feel a little tightness there, but it was hard to see. I also have a large chest and do not like to wear low cut tops for that reason, but this was a happy medium.
