The gown fit true to size and looked great. However some of the boning had pushed out from the seams inside of the dress, poking directly into my skin (very painful!). My husband came up with a genius idea to make it bearable--he said to put a large bandaid directly on my skin (where it was poking the most) and put another smaller bandaid right over the exposed boning so I could have double protection. Worked like a charm! RTR should make sure to fix any boning issues with dresses, but if you are in a bind, the bandaids are the way to go. Otherwise, the dress looked great and I kept getting compliments the whole night on how fantastic the dress looked. I was also able to pair the dress with my wedding jewelry and shoes (which I haven't worn since I got married last year, so that was an added bonus!)
