This was my first RTR experience, and it was an outstanding one. I picked this dress for a USMC ball because I wanted something elegant, classic, and not black or red. Also, having had a baby, I wanted something that flattered my "curviness" and something that hid/minimized my tummy. This was the PERFECT dress. I ordered an 8 and 10; the material is stretchy so 8 fit and was comfortable, but it seemed a little snug compared to the model in the picture. The gathers looked more stretched than draping. So I went with the 10 because it draped more like the picture that way and didn't cling to me so much. Also, it flowed and moved like water. I got a regular length and found that a 3 inch heel was just right lengthwise. The compliments I received made me feel like a goddess, and my man told me over and over how proud he was to have me by his side. What feels better than that? Nothing! My ONE REGRET: I didn't get a single full length shot of me in my dress! The ones I did have were so blurry; this one "table shot" is the only one I have. Anyway, this dress will be a redo!
