Adorable, easy to wear dress but not for me
This is a well-made, cute dress. However, while I typically do well with fit and flare styles this one was too high waisted and cutesy for me.

Well made, unique, not for me
This is extremely well constructed, but too thick and high cut for me...felt like I was wearing armor. I chose to wear my alternate ordered dress instead.

Elegant Christmas Party Dress!
This was a great, comfortable, sexy, elegant Christmas party choice. I thought for sure I would need the 10, but the 8 fit fine, and I am big on top. The skirt is short and snug, but with tights and the more demure top I found it just the right amount of sexy. My only negative was that I found the fluttery sleeves fuller than I thought they'd be, which I'm not used to. For the first half of the night I kept a black cardigan on, but later when I showed off the top people loved it.

Gorgeous necklace!
This was sent as a replacement when the necklace I ordered was not available. So glad. Beautiful, nature-themed, touch of bling. I even wore it the next day to touch up a casual outfit.

Adorable and Elegant
It's nice for someone with a large chest to be able to wear an "Audrey" look! This dress is adorable and classy if you're looking for something that doesn't show cleavage. I was worried it would be too poofy and Carrie Bradshaw-like, but the skirt was just the right amount of fullness. The bows on top are great. Fabric has significant weight to it. It does get a bit wrinkled, but looks okay when you get up if you just smooth it out a bit. All the reviews are right - compared to other RTR dresses, it will be bigger than expected. I can be anywhere from a 6 to a 10. The 6 fit, but the 8 was more comfortable and went with that one. I rented a modern Oscar de la Renta statement gold statement necklace, but ended up having to go with pearls to match the vintage-y feel of this one.

Gorgeous and Unique
Beautiful, well-made necklace. It is a unique look - nearing gold armor! I ended up not liking it with the dress I rented (Red Valentino Runaway Bowtie), but made sure to add it to a simple black top for a dinner out. Got three compliments from strangers!

Beautiful and Delicate
I rented this for a week of everyday wear, and it's gorgeous and unique. Could also be an elegant addition to a dressy outfit, when you're looking for something low-key and not a statement piece.

Beautiful necklace - added just the right amount of sparkle and light to my black dress. Not as big as a bib/statement necklace, but bigger than a delicate thin one. Lots of compliments - loved it!

Dressy baby shower
I wore it with black tights and flats to dress it down it bit. Beautiful print, lovely fabric, well-structured dress. I am 38D though, and this was way snug on top. Also - definitely requires a necklace to draw the eye down a bit, as it's a high neckline.
