I needed to find a dress for my aunt's funeral. She loved the color purple so my mom decided it would be nice for us to wear it. The open back was an easy fix with a black cardigan. Sorry for the blurry mirror, I was so busy that week. I almost bought it! It fit really well overall. The only issue was hiding my bra in the large back cut out. 

Will agree with the other reviews that said this dress was tight in the hips and slightly unflattering to the stomach. I added a belt and pulled the extra material up and into said belt. Worked out great! I wouldn’t rent again, but wanted to show how I fixed it for me. 

This dress is a great example of why I decided to sign up for RTR. I would have never taken a risk and bought it online or even tried it on at the store, but this is such a low risk way to try something out of my comfort zone that is so fun. The dress is not lined which I actually prefer, and magically it is not sheer and does not require a separate slip. I thought it was true to size as a medium, though I’ll note I’m usually a small on top and medium on bottom so it did fit a bit loose on me on top but I think it is workable. I agree with another reviewer that the sleeves are looooong, like past my fingertips, but I actually think they might be better pushed up on your arm in a 3/4 style, which is how I prefer my sleeves anyway. I also agree with the reviewer who felt the dress could read a bit frumpy from the front, but I actually thought the dress made a cool contrast when styled with combat boots and a motorcycle jacket as you see in the photo. The back is such a fun detail too. I felt I could go bralless in this dress without it being obvious or maybe use one of those adhesive bras. 

Loved the dress and the peek-a-boo back cut out. Perfect for work to date night.

The back of this dress was cute but the front was very grandma-ish and it had extremely long and loose sleeves. I have long arms and the sleeves were touching my fingers.
