I loved wearing this dress.  It was a little difficult to sort out with all the twisted pieces on the back, but once I got it, it was perfect.  It fits so well.  I did wear a strapless bra underneath the built in corset, mostly to fill out the front.  The one shoulder and draping and the fabric make this such a beautiful elegant and classy dress.  The back is beautiful and adds a touch of daring.  I wish I owned this dress!

I chose this dress for its elegance.  It is a beautiful design and the back of the dress is unique and sexy.  It fit perfectly!  I did have a bit of a time trying to figure out how to put it on.  There is an inner corset that kind of confused me - but once I figured it out I just loved it.  I am small chested and the inner corset really hugs you.  I am not sure if this would be a good fit for someone who is a larger chest size.  The length was perfect with 4 inch heels.  I absolutely loved this dress - wish I could have kept it!!

When you say it runs small, do you mean length or overall?  I want this dress and I'm 128 lbs 5'3 with 32A bust and I usually wear a 2 but there is only a 4 available so I'm trying to see if I should get it since I'm a little heavier than you are.

What size heels did you wear with them? My heels are 4 inches and I'm 5'3.  

This was my second time using RTR and the process was still perfect! The dress fit, though it does run a bit short. There weren't any damage issues, and I got compliments on the color the whole night! Nothing to complain about.

This gown was elegant yet understated.  The color and fit are what makes it outstanding.  I wore spanx and a Nubra with tape on the sides.  I was very comfortable in a size 4.  I would recommend it.

RTR sent this dress to me as a backup when my first choice was no longer available in my size (4). I have never felt so elegant! The draping of the fabric in the front is stunning, and the cutouts in the back add an element of sexiness that all ladies will love! Unfortunately, I was just too busty to comfortably wear the dress for 8 hours. I think this dress would be better suited for a C cup or smaller. I was able to fit into the boning, but it dug into my rib cage and I looked too smushed. I was so bummed, because this dress is such a knock-out! Thankfully the size 2 in my first choice dress fit perfectly.

This dress was absolutely beautiful.  I was worried about the fit because I am a pear and the description indicated that it is tight through the hips but it fit very well.  The reason I didn't wear this dress is that the boning through the top which keeps the structure was snapped a lot of times and as a result the dress lost its structure at the top.  I would love to wear this dress on another occasion if that issue were fixed.  I usually wear a 6 on bottom and a 4 on top and the size that was the same as a 6 was a great fit for me.

esp during the recent storms, extended power outs, event rescheduling, and dress returns and resends...  service couldn't be better. logistics challenging and beyond control.  sadly tho, the dress was a bit stretched out in areas and a bit ill fitting... will try to try again. 

spectacularly made with gorgeous fabric! My only complaint is that it was small in the bust. The built-in corset really hides imperfections and the back is sexy and elegant. I only ended up not wearing it because I didn't want to look fancier than the bridesmaids :)

This dress is a little more muted, not as bright as it appears in the model picture. Still a beautiful dress and the back is Stunning! But it does run very small in the bust. Ladies, if you wear an A or B cup, you will probably be fine. I wear a 34 C and couldn't zip it up all the way. There is an internal corset which helps for things to stay in place, but only if you can zip it up. Sorry, no pic.

I did not wear the dress, it was too big for me to my disappointment.  I chatted with the fashion consultant about my size and shape, but she clearly did not know the dress very well.

This dress is really well made as it has a shelf bra built in, that zips up with a very sturdy zipper.  This works well but flattens the chest out a bit.  If you are heavy chested (i'm not), it may not be too flattering (bc where will all of it go??).  I liked the concept of the back but since I have a short torso, it didn't work out that well and was a bit "squished" looking, leading to a semi-messy look in the back.  Overall, the length was perfect for me being 5'2" + 3" heels.  Normally, I wear a size 2 and the 38R fit well.  If you're between a 2 and a 4, I would go up a size.
