The size 2 is what fit me (I usually wear a size 0 and could in no way get into that one ) I love how thick this dress is. Even on a vacation where I was eating baguettes every day and feeling a little self-conscious about my tummy, the thick material sucked everything in. I got so many compliments on photos wearing this and out and about. A Woman even begged to unzip my dress so she could see the brand (lol) . The dress I had in particular had a weak zipper. It worked but it was tricky. The dress ran a bit small but in a way where it fit like a glove. I wouldn’t have wanted a size bigger.

I loved this dress, fun, unique yet a classic cut! Great item to showcase your legs and comfy when sitting! 

Incredible fabric! Very heavy weight but breathable, completely lined the small was small but it look like I had gotten it made for just me. Which I'm quite shaped like a teen small chest and square 5'6". I felt like a million $$s and loved the dress which I could purchase and have in different color ways as well as wish the train was detachable so I could wear it often styled differently. Truly tho one of my most favorite rentals to date and I love getting things with new tags. It's all the fun without the cost! A+ RTR 

Beautiful material and quality. But runs extremely small. I sized up based on other reviews and the large barely fit. It does stretch a bit during wear, but I could have worn an XL if available and I'm usually a standard 6. Would rent again, a lot of compliments. 

This dress fit me perfectly but beware it runs small! I'm 5'2" 98lb and usually always need XS for RTR dresses but I sized up to a small for this one! It's perfect for petites. The material is a bit thick so if you're wearing to a hot/humid outdoor wedding it doesn't breathe much. The fit is so flattering and comfortable. Overall I loved it and would definitely recommend!

Love love love this dress!! Received tons of compliments! I'm 5'0 and 104 lbs and typically wear XS, glad I ordered the small as a back up as it fit perfectly! Only con is the dress is a heavy material so if you are wearing it to an event that's in the heat be prepared to be a bit uncomfortable, thank goodness we had VIP tent access! I ended up buying this dress, that's how much I loved it!!

Beautiful dress! Fit like a glove. I normally wear a small but so glad I had the medium. Dress has no give. 

I'm normally a size medium/ or 6-8 and the XL barely fit me. I have a natural 36DD chest and this was very tight. I could not wear a bra with it because there was zero space for it, but the dress was thick enough to hold the girls in place. 

True to size, but this was not my size. Fun. Heavy material 

This dress almost fit perfectly but just wouldn't zip up the whole way. And I usually wear a size smaller. I thought it had a really cute cut and loved the long asymmetrical piece on the side, but haven't been able to snag it in a medium yet.

How did vertical stripes end up making me look larger??? Ugh. Listened to the other reviews and sized up to a large and it fit but was unflattering. 

Exactly as everyone said- runs small! I could barely slide the medium over my almost non-existent hips. So glad I had the large as a back-up! Fit perfectly! I'm 5'0" so the length was great, would've been short on a tall gal. Got endless compliments on this all day. LOVED IT!!

Loved the detail of this dress. Snug in the bust if you are full chested. 

Loved!  Flirty and fun!  Expensive material, lots of compliments, very short!

I rented this for an outdoor party.  I paired it with  red strappy sandals and later with flat sandals and I felt it looked just as cute.  Very versatile with great details.  The neckline goes up pretty far so being a bit on the busty side, i felt it make my boobs look really low on my body. 

I am usually a small but after reading the reviews, i sized up.  Really glad I did because this dress has the potential of being short. 

Pros, the material was very good. The dress is adorable. Cons, it was very short. 

The material is thick but fits great and very true to size. Definitely recommend wearing high heels or wedges 

This dress is perfect to wear for an outdoor Spring or Summer wedding.  I haven't sent it back yet because I'm so tempted to keep it! I love how fitted my RTR Alexis dresses have been, especially for someone with a very petite frame. Definitely recommend this dress!

Got this for Christmas in Florida. Got so many compliments from strangers on the sidewalk. The train on the side is just enough to make a statement. The fabric is adorable. Overall highly recommend!

Loved this dress! Was so fun and flirty for our casual welcome party before our wedding! Definitely glad I read the reviews, runs small. I wore the large and typically wear a size 6 (5'4). 

For great!!!! Wasn't too long either! I'm 5' and it help perfectly. Too cute! 

I loved this dress so much! I wore it for a wedding in Florida and got so many compliments. The fabric was thick and the dress runs small. I typically wear a small or medium and the large fit me perfectly 

Pros it did not accentuate my lack of derriere, It was lady like  yet stylish/sexy without trying too hard.  I received many compliments as i usually do in my RTR threads.  The fabric is thick and does not stretch so be honest with yourself when you choose sizing.  It ran true to size in fact it was my best RTR fit to date.  The only Con is that I didn't have any other "EVENTS" to show off this dress.  Hopefully something will come up before its time to give it back.  I'm thinking about buying this one.

I LOVED this dress & had been waiting for it, for a while on my Unlimited....it was worth the wait as it was remarkable, unique & very fun to wear. I wore the medium with zero room to spare, it fit like a glove & was a major challenge to get the zipper up. No room for a bra, which thankfully I did not need it holds you in tight. The fabric is heavy, almost like a linen sunbrella so it could be a nice transitional fall dress, depending on accessories, the pom pom details on the shoulders are super cute & not over the top. One other very important note....it is SHORT, I am 5'4" it hit me pretty high up in back....like don't bend over, short. Thankfully the ruffle is a cute distraction. Awesome dress if you are not afraid of short and to stand out!! 

To give you an idea of fit, I'm 5'1" and measure 34x26x34 @117lbs but the SMALL was TIGHT, as you can see in the photos... I might rent it again in a medium just cause it was that cute!

It runs SO small but I read all the reviews and knew to order up. It is so cute and the material is very thick and so flattering!

Wore this to our local Tomato Arts Festival and loved it! True to size but it has no stretch so if you are in between sizes go up. The only con was that the dress came with a few snags in it, but they were hardly noticeable during wearing. So unique and felt expensive.

I wore this to a Gwen Stefani concert in Vegas! Thankful for the reviews about fit, I usually wear a M/L  or 8/10 in dresses, and have a full bust (DD+). The XL fit perfectly, even a little tight at the chest. Length didn't bother me, I am 5'4 and wore undershorts underneath so I didn't have to think about it while jumping & dancing. The cascade is a great detail, very different. I felt great & like I stood out from the crowd. 

Fabric doesn't have stretch and flattens chest a bit but overall loved the style. Got a lot of compliments on it. Fabric was a little heavy 

Thick, beautiful, heavy, great for special event 

Super thick fabric that hugs all the right places. True to size and super flattering, it was amazing to wear and would highly recommend 

I'm usually a small, but the large was key to the fuller bust- it does run small all over though, so don't let ordering a larger size deter you. 

Its small in the armpit holes and around the chest.  If you have large breast go a size up.  I couldn't wear a bra with this because it was so tight.  Overall perfect!

Very tight around the bust, short but so sexy!

Thick, comfortable material. Not too hot, though- I sat for over an hour outside in 75 degree weather for a baccalaureate mass in it and was fine. Got more compliments than I could count and many people asking me where I got the dress. The fringe of the sleeve and long ruffle on the side give this dress so much personality. I wore the medium and it fit perfectly- not too tight at all in the chest (32DD) or stomach. I do have a long torso and I think that made this dress work so well on me.

Wore this to a rehearsal dinner. Many compliments. This dress has no stretch and is a little narrow though the hips making it hard for me to step into, so I pulled it over my head to get it on. There is room in the chest area for boobs which was kinda unfortunate for me since I lack in that department. 

Size up is solid advice, especially for room in the chest and for length. Man is this a short dress! I was uncomfortable doing anything other than standing, but it did look cute, and I wanted to feel confident...I just wasn't. And sitting was just obscene...my bottom wasn't covered, I feel quite certain. This is a definite "do not bend down, take the stairs, or raise your hands" kind of dress. But it is adorable otherwise, and the fabric is heavy enough that it doesn't blow up in a breeze easily. Would be super cute on a petite frame. 

I got a medium and a large, full expecting the medium to fit but I had to wear the large. It was very snug around the bust line.

I enjoyed this dress. It might run a tiny big small. The a tail is a cute accessory.

I probably could have used the 4-6, but it wasn't available for my dates so I crossed my fingers and ordered the 2 and 8, they both fit, but since the material is so thick (feels like upholstery) the 8 was very bulky and I squeezed into the 2 just fine. I'm 5'8" and it was short, but not enough to bother me too much. 

This dress fabric is thick and of very nice quality. The dress runs tight up top, so if you are chesty, definitely size up. I ended up wearing a gold waist belt with it to make my waist more defined, that's the only down side of sizing up.  I got many compliments.  If you rent this, you will not be underdressed to the party, I guarantee that! 

Dress ran super small and barely covered my butt. The ruffle felt like a tail and it felt like I was wearing a costume. Did not wear.
