Simple, elegant, and comfortable
I wore this dress for my boyfriend's military ball and it was the perfect dress for the occasion. I felt beautiful and not too flashy-- perfect balance of simple and elegant! Although it has the one strap, the bust portion is where the main support for the dress is, so it's important that that part fits right so the dress will stay up. I wore it without a bra and it worked great, but a strapless bra could help someone fill it in more if needed. I am 5'7 and wore flat sandals with the regular and it was perfect length, but I definitely would have needed the long if I had worn heels. There is an extra piece of fabric that falls down the front of the dress which is pretty but I thought it made me look kind of pregnant. Overall I loved the dress and was sad to send it back!

Not great for wider hips
I received this dress because it was chosen by a RTR stylist who sent it to me when my second dress for an event become unavailable. I appreciate that RTR will hand select a backup dress, but it was not my style. Luckily, my first choice dress was fit and looked great so I wore that to my event, but I tried this one on for kicks. It is made out of an uncomfortable threaded material which I didn't like. I have wide hips, and this dress hugged them tightly. Pretty dress, just not for me!

Comfortable and classy
Fit great, felt great, and looked great! The material is loose and stretchy so definitely order down a size. I had trouble finding a bra that would go with this dress. I eventually bought a backless/strapless sticky bra that worked great, no other bra will work. The dress was perfect for senior ball, black and gold kept it formal and classy!

Cute print, but top slides down
The print design on this dress was beautiful in person! I am normally between an 8 and a 10 in dress sizes, so I ordered both , but ended up wearing the 8R since I was nervous the top would slide down if it wasn't a snug fit. The length was good, I wore flat gold sandals and it wasn't uncomfortably long. My only problem with this dress was the top. I was constantly having to pull it up because it would slide down. I was wearing a nude strapless bra which I eventually ditched because every time the dress would slip down, the top of my bra was visible. I figured the dress would cling better to my skin rather than the bra, so taking off my bra helped a little bit, but I was still pulling up my dress the whole night.
