Dress is Beautiful but Needs to be Retired
The dress is stunning, especially the beautiful shade of blue. Is fun, but conservative enough for a work party/event. Sizing is strange--the top is very large and gapped considerably in the back. On close inspection, I noticed a boning piece is broken clearly in half. With the lining working it's way beyond the sequins and the back having funny bumps that probably come from cleaning too much and sequins pulling on the base, it is clear that this particular dress need to be retired.

Perfect dress for a festive shower.
The dress is super cute and festive colors while still conservative and dressy. The fabric is heavy but still seemed okay for a spring event because of the bright colors. Lots of compliments. Fit is roomy, but still fitted and slim shape. I appreciated the longer hem, it made it look more sleek. I wore a bright red wrap with it to cover my arms and it looked great. Happy with this dress.

Didn't fit and sent back
I thought I might be able to wear the 20 but it was too small. Sent it back immediately as we had a hurricane coming. My event was cancelled in the end so I did not request a replacement.

Beautiful dress.
Gorgeous dress, but showed every lump and imperfection and just didn't fit well. The sleeves are very stylish and of the moment, but highlighted my large arms rathe than hide them. Wanted to love this as the color, style and fabric are gorgeous, but didn't work for me. Try it, because it is stunning!

Pretty.
The dress was nice and had nice coverage where some are too revealing. The long was still a little short for me. It didn't fit great so I didn't wear it.

Gorgeous dress but didn't fit well so I didn't wear it.
The dress is big on top and small on the bottom. Because it is big, it was very revealing on top and showed every lump and bump on the bottom. Very beautiful dress and nice quality but the fit is a bit strange so I didn't wear it. The quality is nice and if it fit, it would be stunning.

The purse is super cute!
It is a small but fun handbag! Gives a little pop to a casual outfit!

Gorgeous dress! Beautiful quality and very modern, sophisticated look.
Fit was snug, hugging curves, so I decided on larger size, so figure flaws would be less visible. The shape is flattering and the intricate design of the fabric hides flaws well. The fabric was lighter than I expected, and had a beautiful floral design with just the right amount of shimmer. Only cons were that it was bit lower cut than I would have preferred for this formal event, and was a bit too short for me. I am nearly 5'10" and it was tea length in the front on me, although the train helped provide a "gown" look. I work dark hose and shoes to camouflage the shorter length. I would have preferred a "long" option so that it would have been a full gown with a longer train. I wore a sheer black wrap that helped me feel less exposed. Overall, this is a gorgeous dress and I felt both comfortable, and elegant in it. I had never used RTR, but I had very little notice on this event, and I found RTR had more choices for designer gowns in plus sizes than any of the stores. (Most plus size options look like they are for the mother of the bride!) I would have been happy to buy this particular dress, but it was only available in small sizes at Neiman Marcus. Thank you RTR for making quality designer dresses available for those of us who may be a large size, but still desire beautiful design!
