Beautiful classic dress that I would consider buying if I had more formal events to go to! Slightly tight in the bust so may be worth it to size up if you’re larger than a 32B 

I received many compliments when I wore this to my daughters wedding. I felt beautiful in it and it was perfect for MOB and a wedding in the Florida Keys. Thanks RTR

This dress was fabulous! I loved the simple elegance of the style. I wore this dress to a winter  gala and received many compliments. It fit perfectly in the bust area so I did not have to walk around pulling it up all night. The top is father fitted so it did wonders for my waistline. 

Wore it to a wedding, I wore the size 10. I normally wear size 8 in dresses, but this one runs small. I would size up. Also, has pockets!

I felt so elegant in this dress! The fabric is heavy and the embroidery made it a little stiff but in a good way. It was substantial enough that I didn’t need to wear a bra. I knew from previous reviews that this dress would be longer on my petite 5’1” frame than a typical tea length dress should be but I ordered it anyway. Indeed, the hem landed a couple of inches above my ankles but because of the full skirt and the fact that I wore 4 inch heels, it looked appropriate. The torso fit comfortably for the most part though one of the corset ribs started poking into my side by the end of the evening but that may have had more to do with how much I enjoyed the cocktail hour, dinner and dessert(s), lol! I also loved the detail of the exposed gold zipper down the back and the way the embroidered flowers flowed around the side of the dress to the back. It’s always nice when the back of the dress is as pretty as the front. And of course the pockets were very handy, pun intended! It’s hard to find evening dresses that aren’t long and slinky or short, body conscious cocktail dresses, especially when you’re short so this was a great find to stand out from a crowd. 

The bodice does fit snug, but it stays in place. I usually wear a size 10 but ordered a size 12, which fit perfectly. If you do not have straight hips, the boning in the bodice might dig into your sides. I solved this with a couple of strategically placed band-aids. It is a high quality dress and the pockets and tea length made the dress so fun to wear. I danced all night without tripping on a hem or pulling up the top. No Spanx necessary with the full lined skirt! 

I took my bra off to make room for breathing ha ha. It was tight in the chest and back, but so pretty.

I danced all night in this fun dress.  It fit well.  I was afraid the waist would be tight but it ended up fitting well.  Bra wasn't necessary due to built in lining.

I am usually a size 8 but There was only a size 10 left when I ordered the dress. It fit (with room in the bust) but the zipper slipped down a few times during the evening. Thank goodness was for the hook and eye latch at the top of the dress. That’s the only reason it got 4 stars and not 5. Loved it!

This dress was so fun to wear and i received a lot of compliments.  Fits true to size but definitely snug through the chest area.  Not unbearable but if I were any fuller in the chest, it would not have worked.

This was my back-up dress and I was so glad that I ordered this. It was so comfortable and I received so many compliments on it. I am a size 8 and the dress was an 8. 

Loved loved that it had pockets! It was a little longer than I expected based on the photo but still liked the look. 

Fits beautifully and comfortably! So many compliments! Would wear it again for any occasion! 🥰❤️

The back zipper kept falling down, so you might need a pin

Felt gorgeous in this dress! The detailed embroidery is gorgeous. I lived the fitted top and flared skirt.  Didn’t have to worry about any stomach pooch! I’m small in the rib cage and it was a pretty good fit. I would absolutely rent this again. Wish I had more events to wear it!!

This was a backup so I didn't end up wearing to the event, but it's such a pretty, elegant dress. Gives a beautiful shape at the waste. Felt like I might be pulling it up all night since it's strapless. I'm 5'5 and the 4R was the perfect tea length with a heel. 

Beautiful dress. Fit perfect and needed no bra

This dress was a bit snug and the zipper likes to slide down on its own, but I was getting compliments all night!!! I felt beautiful and the material was high end. So glad I rented this!!!

I loved this dress. The fabric and fit were great plus it has pockets. 

The only issue I had is the zipper would constantly slide down. I was able to put a safety pin at the top to prevent slipping and then I was fine. 

This dress is STUNNING, beautifully made, falls perfectly and made me feel beautiful. The bodice has a bra strap so it stays in place and it has boning. So it will stay put but it also means that it's incredibly structured and tight. I would say if you have a larger bust to size up!
