The dress is super high quality and beautiful. The color was a lot brighter in person -- almost a magenta rather than a deep purple. The lace was beautiful. The problem with the dress is that while specifically listsed as a shift dress, the picture of the model wearing doesn't look like a shift dress. The model clearly has the dress pinned behind her because there is no form fitting to this dress whatsoever. I was wearing a size 2 and the model is clearly FAR thinner than I am, with only a single size in existence below 2 (0) there is no way that dress would hug like that. It is just straight down from chest to hips. It was perfectly fine for the event I went to -- I wanted a more conservative dress for Thanksgiving Dinner but I would have preferred to know in advance what it would actually look like. Yes, there are user photos but the best indication of how the dress fits should be the picture included by RTR. And again, I would bet a hefty sum that the dress is pinned on all pics of the model. Oh and it runs HUGE. I would have ordered a size 0 if I had known. I ended up wearing the 2 and I typically wear a 4. If you are true to size, I would order a size down and then your back up another size down.
