I ordered this dress and another style for an evening wedding with a "semi-formal/cocktail" dress code. I ended up wearing the other one because this dress was WAY too long - even with 5" heels. I was afraid I would trip and/pr tear the dress. The regular length would probably have worked perfectly with flats or low heels. The color is really amazing - different from anything else I've seen, for sure. It is definitely "sherbet" but really bright and NOT as pastel as it looks in some photos. The pleating details were beautiful - the skirt fell perfectly and the pleats at the bust laid flat (which I was worried about with my "girls"). However, the fit of the top was much larger than I expected from the fit/size tips from RTR. It was nice that I could wear a regular bra, but when I sat down the front billowed open (fixed with fashion tape) and the back of the dress was really blousey (not necessarily a bad thing, just not what I expected). All in all, it's a really beautiful dress --- all my friends voted for this one over the other, the only reason I didn't wear it was because of the length issue.
