This was my first RTR experience. I was a little disappointed when the dress arrived. I was expecting something heavier with a richer feel. I wore it to daytime bridal shower and the second I walked in the compliments started and they did not stop. People kept asking if I'd lost weight and I kept hearing how beautiful the dress was. By the end of the event I did not want to take it off.  I wore it with royal blue suede pumps and the Kate Spade Canary Statement earrings which  pulled it all together. 
 
The only negatives are that the fabric is kind of thin and after a few hours there were a lot of wrinkles in the midsection from sitting. Also, there is no slit in the back and the fabric has no stretch so it's a bit difficult to go up and down stairs and I would imagine it's not an ideal dress for dancing.  

Beautiful clean lines, very smooth and luxe-looking fabric. I wore it for an important  daytime work event. No back slit, but my mobility was fine. It does pick up creases throughout the day. An expensive rental for a day dress, but I loved it. 
Size: I'm a 2 on top, 4-6 on the bottom, tall with long torso. The 42 was unexpectedly roomy, but it suited the lines of the dress. It wouldn't look right snug. 

I received this dress as a backup, but preferred it to the original dress I ordered.  It's a slim cut - flattering, but doesn't show off your waist if that's something you love.  It's a little tight under the arms, and since one side of the dress is light blue right under your arm, probably not ideal if you're worried about sweating.  But, it was perfectly appropriate for a summer wedding (no worries about accidentally matching the bridesmaids).

The print of this dress is interesting but the fabric is just strange. No stretch at all and the hem is very constrained at the knee. Also  a bit of an odd length. If you are very tall and very slim this "might" be OK.
