Rented this gown for a garden-themed Emerald and Evergreen Gala - so it had to be green, natch. This was actually planned as the backup dress, but long story short, a mixup on the RTR end (previous renter late return) botched that plan. Luckily, this dress was fabulous. I think it runs TTS - it was a little big in the bodice for me and I ended up pinning about 1.5 inches of fabric on the side. The next smaller size wasn't available anyway so I don't know for sure but I think it would have been perfect. The draping is terrific; the fabric is a nice weight (not too thin) and, though you can't tell from the photos, the gown is fully lined and the lining is sewn to the hem of the dress, which is genius since that way it never bunches up or shifts on its own. I wore with a backless strapless stickon bra and highwaist Spanx - both totally necessary unless you have a convertible bra (and a perfect bod). The length was just right with my 1.75" heels. Compiments all night - as usual, sad to put it back in the mail. Thanks RTR!
