This was my first RTR experience and I am hooked! I got complements all evening. The dress is way prettier on you than in the model's pictures, the color is also much darker - which I liked. I wanted a long sleeve dress for a winter wedding in the Windy City and this was perfect. I am typically a 4 and ordered the 4 and 2 based on other reviewers suggestions to size down. The 4 fit perfectly. (I couldn't even get into the 2.) As many other reviewers mentioned the arms are a little tight at first but loosen over the evening and I was able to dance the night away. I also have bigger arms so you may want to make your other size larger if you do too. The dress has a great lining and with tights I stayed warm in the subzero temps. The neckline (front and back) was so pretty that I decided no necklace was needed and opted for earrings. As others mentions, the lace on the edges is slightly worn from all the sharing this dress does but only I think only the wearer can tell. I was able to wear a normal strapless bra with it. I tried clear straps but I could see the shine of the plastic on the lace. I highly recommend this dress! (My picture doesn't even do it justice!)
