This is like a Madman wiggle dress so beware if that is a trouble spot for you.

The 18 fit, but was a little snug, so I decided to wear the 20. It was a bit awkward to sit down in (crept up a lot and created a belly poof), but otherwise it was perfect. I felt vey elegant in the high quality fabric and modern shape. 

The dress runs small. I followed the advice of reviewers and got it a size big. Was very glad that I did. 



Runs small so please size up! The sleeves tend to bunch up a little but it is not very noticeable in pictures it's just a little uncomfortable. The rest of the dress is really comfortable and it stayed straight and nice despite 5 hours of constant sitting, standing and moving around. I would totally rent it again! 

I usually wear a 14W/16W so I would recommend going at least a size up as I wore the 18W and it fit great.  Very flattering and was a smashing success at our English tea party. 

Fit runs small - way small for me. I usually wear a 16W or 18W and I had the 20W and it was snug. The fabric doesn't really have any give which is fine because it looks pretty sharp. But be prepared - when sitting in it, it rides up. I paired it with oxblood/plum-ish shoes and it looked wonderful. Tons of compliments! (And a few people even recognized that Mindy Kaling had it on on an episode of her show). 

I read the reviews on the site before I decided to rent it. True enough, it does run small. So instead of wearing the 16w, I went ahead and wore the 18w, which was perfect. I love the material. I wore it for my godson's christening on a warm Sunday, and the dress was very comfortable to wear. I got tons of compliments from other guests. I will definitely rent this again.

Do you have any photos of how it fit? I am similar in size but not sure how I feel about it being non-stretch/fitted near belly and the sleeves are also a concern. 

Dress fits tight on top and comes out at this hips. This was amazing for me because it showed off my waist and accentuated (in a good way) my shape. The fit is small so size up! The dress is comfortable and has pockets! I wore to a black tie wedding and it looked amazing. I would absolutely rent from this designer again.. Loved everything about it!

the dress fits tight on the top.  I actually wear a 40D and had to go from my normal size of 16w to a 20w.  the color did not pop as bight as it looked on the RTR photo, but it was still a nice dress with a nice fit once I went up a few sizes.

I tried on the 16 at the Georgetown store knowing it would be way too small but I wanted to see what it looked like. I got the 22 as a backup for my formal event, but the skirt was just as tight as it was on the 16! I was really disappointed. It's a beautiful dress - it just didn't fit. 

Great fit and the fabric is much more lightweight than you would expect.  I wore it to a welcome dinner in San Juan and it was remarkably cool and comfortable.  Photographs well.  I received a fair amount of compliments on it as well.  I dressed it down with some gold gladiator sandals that were a touch sporty but you can go either way.  

I purchased this dress from the recent clearance sale. After reading the reviews AND talking to customer service I seized up four sizes. This dress is SHORT. SHORT SHORT SHORT SHORT. The waist is so high, it under my boobs. The pencil skirt is  more like a straw skirt. It was so out of proportion, I think maybe someone altered this dress. The lining also was really wonky, like it was pieced together. I knew this was a final sale and the price was worth the gamble, however, my younger sister just received a windfall. Ill stick with other designers, but this one might be off the list!!!
