I received many compliments on this dress, both at the event itself and after showing pictures to others. I loved the dark navy color of the dress, the ruching throughout the body, and the off-the-shoulder sleeves. The sleeves will immediately ride back up if you don't use fashion tape - I used three strips on each arm. I ordered this dress in a 4R with a 2R for my backup size, per the instructions of one of the RTR fit specialists. I typically wear between a 4 and a 6 and was told to order the 2R as my backup size because the dress tends to be a little large. The 4R fit just about perfectly - it was a little tricky to zip up and it felt tight around the chest/back but it was comfortable everywhere else. The 2R was definitely too small in the chest/back and couldn't be zipped up. However, I would guess that the 6R would have been comfortable in the chest/back but too big everywhere else. I'm 5'6" and wore 1.5 inch heels, which is why I ordered the regular and not the long. The dress just showed my toes so the long probably would have been too long without wearing higher heels. Overall, I'm very pleased with this dress!
