Great for a gala
The color, draping, and fabric met all my expectations. This was my backup dress and I ended up wearing it because it was so comfortable and flattering. The thicker fabric was great for a winter night and the length was perfect for midsize heels. The draping of the single shoulder was very comfortable and didn’t move at all. I did use some double sided tape on the bare shoulder to keep the bust line of the dress secure near my underarm.

Not for short torsos
I loved this dress but could not wear it due to the proportions between my large chest (34DD) and short torso. The cutout showed the bottom half of my bra despite the sizing being accurate. I was so disappointed because the color, fabric, length, and style of the dress were just perfect. On a longer torso lady, this dress would be just divine.

Fun Cute & Fancy
Loved the plaid pattern, tulle accents, sequins and shine of this adorable skirt. It was perfect for an office holiday party. I paired it with over the knee boots and a black bodysuit. Based on other reviews, I sized up but the skirt felt a little too roomy for me. I likely would have had a more fitted look had I stayed with my true sized. I wasn't mad about the extra room for holiday party goodies however. I just safety pinned my skirt so it stayed on my natural waist.

Sleek statement piece
Loved the look and sparkle of the bracelet. It was a gorgeous addition to my accessories. I paired them with gunmetal hoop earrings. The spring hinge was very secure, maybe too much. The bracelet pinched a little if it wasn't directly on my wrist.

Fashionable and dramatic
The dress drapes beautifully. The pleating and train in the back were dramatic as I mingled through the event. The dress was fitted enough at the top but comfy through the body so I was able to dance for hours. The pattern and colors on the dress were eye catching, especially at this specific event which had theater lighting and black lights throughout.

Sleek and modern!
Well lined so it was warm on a cold night. Easy to zip up. Neckline and shoulders lay beautifully.

When you want to sparkle!
Fit was very good. With my busty shape, I struggled to find the right bra to wear and the cut was a little lower than I expected. The dress was so fun! I needed to be on stage to present an award and the sequins were just the right touch. The dress looked spectacular in photos.

This dress is perfect for events that are midway between cocktail and formal attire.
Runs small. I ordered the 8 with a 10 backup. I wore the 10 and it was tight. I wish I would have sized up to 10 and 12. The dress is lovely. The thick lining made it very comfortable, so scratchy areas from the overlay material or sequins. The sequins are understated: fancy but not flashy. I received tons of compliments at the event. I always feel confident wearing RTR and this dress was no exception.

These were such a fantastic touch to the formal gown.
Larger than I usually wear, these earrings stayed put after a whole night of dancing. They were a gorgeous complement to the gown I selected. They caught the light beautifully and were very elegant.

The dress was perfect for a gala - glamorous and flattering.
The dress fit true to size. The regular length was just long enough to wear 3 inch heels without the hem dragging. The sequins did not rub under the arms or catch on my coat or seat. The dress was comfortable enough to dance for several hours. I received so many compliments and felt gorgeous in this gown.

Though this was my backup dress, it was absolutely gorgeous.
The lace layer was well constructed and not flimsy. The dress had a full lining so no undergarments show through. I liked the higher neckline. The dress fell mid-thigh - about as short as I like to go, but still acceptable length for a event on the more formal side.
