In trying to find a long, formal dress for a black tie wedding, I am so happy I located this one on RTR. It was perfect, and the other reviews and pictures gave me the confidence that I would not be disappointed. I had hoped to order a 6L (I'm 5'8") but that size was not available, so I ordered the 6R and 8L at the stylist's suggestion. The 6R fit better and hugged my body better; however the length was just a tad bit shorter than I had hoped with 3" heels. The 8L fit fine, and the length was better so I opted for the 8L. I felt beautiful all night, and received numerous compliments. As mentioned by some other reviewers, the tulle can, at times, get caught in your heels. Honestly the 6R's tulle was in much better shape than the 8L, though I don't know that anyone else would notice. I did need to use a steamer just to iron out the tulle from shipping. Overall, a wonderful dress for such an event and also very comfortable. I paired with long, 3" drop earrings and a bracelet as I don't think a necklace was needed.
