It fit me pretty much perfectly! I loved it!!
I wore it for prom and it fit me pretty much perfectly! I have a smaller waist so it ran a little bugger there but overall it was an amazing dress! Love this site!

The Perfect Formal Gown
This dress was perfect for a night filled with dancing. Extremely moveable, perfect fit on the arms with no real sleeve, and no pulling up of the dress because it wasn't strapless (always a plus). I was super happy with this dress all night long and paired it will super simple jewelry. Very light weight even though it looks full and heavy. I would say that I did experience a lot of UPS issues with this dress but other than that, it made for the perfect night! Nothing but great things to say about this gown.

Beautiful dress, beautiful color. Very comfortable and flattering
This was a last minute, overnight back up sent when my first choice didn't fit, and I loved it! Got complements all night on how classy it was. They didn't have my actual size, so I wore a size larger, and it was very big. However, I was able to do some creative tucking and make it work. The dress itself is beautiful - the texture and color of the fabric are gorgeous. And it's very comfortable! No need for spanx or worries about a tummy. I am 5'8" and the long was actually not all that long - I wore flats.

It was a fun, formal and comfortable night.
The dress was very comfortable. The jewels made a necklace unnecessary and the shape of the dress hid any unwanted curves. I also did not need a bra. The dress was perfect length with wedges. The material was kind of heavy and i wish the middle part was a bit more tight but the dress was overall a good and comfortable fit.

I loved the flow of the bottoms dress, it felt very dreamy.
I selected true to size, but it was a little big around my waste. Not enough to order a new dress overnight though. The dress was beautiful! The only thing I didn’t like was the straps underneath the sheer, to hide a bra I’m assuming, couldn’t come off and I didn’t remember seeing them in the photo when I ordered the dress. I have a small bust so i don’t need the straps or a bra, but overall this dress was beautiful and I would of kept it. I wore it to my law school Barrister’s Ball. It was long, but I wore heels so it didn’t feel like it was dragging on the floor.

Pretty in Blue.
True to fit. I liked it better with the straps tucked in on the top. I am 5"4' and the length was good for dancing all night.

This gown was beautiful yet comfortable. I loved the details in the skirt fabric.
I ordered the 14WL as my first size and the 16 WL as my back up size. I am usually between a 14W and 16 W in Lane Bryant sizing. Both fit, but since I was traveling to a wedding and I tend to puff up a bit from the plane, I went with the 16 WL. Bonus: I could eat and drink without worry. The dress was gorgeous and I received many compliments throughout the night. I never felt uncomfortable, yet I looked right for a black tie wedding at the Ritz-Carlton. My only complaint is that the rhinestones tended to turn since the threads had stretched a bit from previous wear. I wore a strapless bra, but you could easily wear a bra with straps that are clear, navy, or nude. I wore a 3 inch heel and the dress hit right above the floor so it wasn't dragging, but it didn't look like I was waiting for a flood either. The fabric doesn't have any stretch to it, so I would recommend erring on the larger side if you're between sizes like I am.

Heavy, well made, and very comfortable!
I wore this to a black tie gala. It was very comfortable, and you don't need anything (or much) in terms of shaping garments. The skirt portion is pretty heavy, but it helps the dress hang nicely. I'm 5'4" and the dress was just the right length when I wore heels. The color is unique-- it's not very bright, it's actually more muted navy. I really loved the sheer portion at the top! Let's you feel sexy without showing a lot of skin. I don't think I'd rent it again, but it did the job for the night.

Compliments galore!
I found the dress to be a little snug in the chest area (I am a DD) but it worked! There was a little cleavage but over all, sexy but modest. I received multiple compliments. The dress was very flattering! This was a back up and I am so glad I got to wear this one versus my original order, this 'just worked'. Once again, RTR's customer service was phenomenal.... I look forward to ordering from them again and again.

The wedding I attended was a black tie affair. All the women were in gowns and the men in tuxedos.
True to size in every way. I am 5'5" and the regular length was perfect. What was truly great about this dress is that there are satin straps in the dress too, so if you are full breasted and can't do a strapless bra you have a way to hide your bra straps! I used some double sided garment tape I found at Wet Seal to stick the straps together and it worked like a charm.

This was my backup; didn't wear it but loved it!
This was a little fancier than what I needed for my event but I will probably come back to it at some point. It's a beautiful dress with lovely detail. It was true to size though slightly short for me at 5'5" with modest heels. I felt very comfortable in it.

Elegant and yet comfy!
Turned out even though it was a bitterly cold night the hall was abnormally warm. This turned out to be perfect for a sleeveless dress. The skirt is full enough that I didn't have to cinch myself in. Since I could only get the regular length, I opted for flats which made for a really comfortable evening. The length was just barely floor skimming with no heels. Keep in mind it can be rather difficult to get the neck closed in the back without help (two eyes/hooks).This caused me a bit of panic while getting ready.

Really pretty, but ultimately way too big :(
This dress was too big for me. I thought that it would be a good fit based on the sizing from her website, but it just wasn't a good fit. Luckily, RTR has THE best customer service and I was able to get another dress overnighted to me for my event! This dress is really pretty, swishy, and soft. It definitely would have been beautiful if it had been a size or two smaller.

Beautiful Neckline
I did not end up wearing this dress. I am 5'10" and I ordered the long and it was a great length. the mid section was just a tad too big, but it was off enough that the dress did not seem special enough. I had an alternative style that I liked better. It would have served the purpose if I got stuck, but not my favorite.

Beautiful! I got compliments all night!
Man, I wish I had a photo of me in this dress! I was worried that it would be slightly matronly/dowdy, but it sure wasn't. I had orignally gotten the 16 and 18 (18 as backup). It showed up two days before the event and I realized that they were both too big! A quick call to RTR and they immediately sent a size 14 which fit perfectly. I'm a large chested gal, and the dress has the perfect amount of skin vs being covered up. I only wish they made a 14S - I'm 5'4" and had to wear 4" heels to get it to just sweep the floor. The pain was worth it as EVERYONE loved it!
