While this dress was gorgeous and would have fitted my body perfectly pre-baby, I was 4.5 months postpartum and still had my baby weight belly. The hour glass shape is flattering on the sides, but it hugged my belly and made me feel pregnant again. Absolutely gorgeous, the lace is amazing, but it just wasn’t the right choice for me for my body at the time. 

Ordered both S and M. The small was a little tight in the torso for me, but the medium was a little baggie in the stomach and boobs, so I went with the small and sucked it in. I was pleased and was perfect for a fall wedding.

A bit tight and the slip underneath is shorter than you think when sitting, but overall it was flattering and fit well!

The coloring of this dress was beautiful. I wore it for a fall wedding which was pretty for that time of year. I usually fall between an 8-10 and the dress did fit well. I felt it could even go a little tighter for a more flattering fit. It was so easy to move in and once we got the straps adjusted (one was being funky) it was good!

perfect for a fall wedding. I’m about 5 ft 4in and 155lbs. I’m more bottom heavy so the large was a perfect fit for me. 

Dress fit great. A bra was not needed at all! Received so many compliments on it. 

I actually ended up wearing the extra large. I tried the large and it fit well, but my husband was in the wedding and it was hard to zip up by myself. The XL was a little big on me, but it did make it more comfortable for dancing/sitting. I got lots of compliments on the dress.

Perfect fit, no notes. I was also able to wear a strapless bra underneath. 

This dress was beautiful and I got so many compliments! Perfect for an October wedding. The top around the waist was a little snug but I still fit in my average size S. The straps are adjustable.

LOVED this dress. I got so many compliments on it. Only downside was the chest area was a little tight.

I wore this as the wedding coordinator for plum & lavender themed wedding and it was perfect. I fit right in with wedding party, and felt super-snatched at the waist. The dress was snug but forgiving. Perfect for an athletic frame and just sassy enough! Love the tea length and everything else about this dress. 

This was a great rental for a formal wedding in late summer. I felt sexy yet classy and got compliments all night. I was able to wear without a bra but would recommend a strapless for some lift since the straps of the dress can’t be adjusted and really didn’t do anything for me. I didn’t wear shapewear because the dress has some structure to it and the material was thick enough to smooth things out. However, it’s form-fitting so you could go either way. My only complaint is the length of the dress. It’s a midi but it hit more around high ankle on me which just looked a little awkward. Not a major issues and I overall recommend! 

Adjustable straps, a little long on my 5’1 frame but still gorgeous 

This is a perfect dress for a wedding due to it’s beautiful pattern, fit and length. It is a bit on the tighter side which I am comfortable in. The small was a bit baggy for me so I chose the x small. Also, I did not wear a bra with this and it wasn’t even noticeable. Definitely would recommend wearing this dress to a wedding or any other event.

I rented this as a backup dress to an indoor winter wedding and the dress just didn't do it for me unfortunately. I didn't feel super confident in the length of the dress for my body. I'm 5' 4" and even with heels I still felt meh about it. Maybe it would've worked out if I was taller...

The lace and underlay are beautiful colors that show even better in person. It was a snug fit (not uncomfortable) but sizing up was too big. Perfect for a formal work-related affair. 

Loved this dress, got so many compliments! I am small chested and struggle to find dresses that fit my waist and my chest but thos dress worked really well! I felt covered, secure, and sexy!

Definitely size up, was able to make this work but it was definitely snug a medium would have been perfect. 

This dress was beautiful on, albeit a little simpler than other options from RTR. The colors are very fall/winter favorable.

Wore this to an October wedding held outdoors in Alabama and it was just right for the occasion. Glad I got the spare size (large) because the medium wouldn't accommodate my broad ribcage. The dress was also a good bit longer on me than on the model in the RTR photo, but that worked out just fine.

Wore this dress to a fall wedding down in Texas so it was still warm. I Have a large bust (38G) and never seem to find a dress that fits me well. This dress zipped and held my girls in so well without a bra. Unheard of for me. It gave me an hourglass shape and I felt very sexy in it. Highly recommend! 

So many compliments. Had to adjust the straps (naturally) and the left one is a little complicated but everything worked!, the zipper is tricky on the large but I’m so glad I finally ordered this- I had it “hearted” for awhile! 

This dress is beautiful and fits snug in all the right places! My only complaint was the straps being so wide/far apart - they kept slipping off my shoulders. 

I wish I had the large to try at least - medium was snug but worked. The colors are so so beautiful. I felt a little bare / booby on top but the lace and the length made it classy. Great dress for an outdoor summer wedding!

Ran a touch small -- XS was too tight around the butt so went with the S. Not too long for short girls.

Fit snuggly but hugged curves in all the right places! Best part was I didn't even have to wear a bra despite being rather busty! 

Invited to a formal outdoor wedding....  I generally hate long dresses on me and much prefer cocktail so it was tough to find something for this one. This dress was a great compromise since it has a short and long layer. Wore for a summer wedding but with the color and weight, it is probably better suited for fall. Really comfortable and easy to move around in without worrying about anything falling out of place. 

I wore this to a wedding and received lots of compliments. Fit was true to size. Very comfortable and classy 

Absolutely stunning dress! Great shape and very flattering. I am 5 foot 7 inches and 130 pounds bra size B and the small fit perfect. The picture doesn't do it justice. It is like a dark plum color with a blue slip under. Wore it for a summer wedding. The fabric has no give to it so bring your spanks. Comfortable and easy to dance in. I was able to wear a strapless bra under. Only issue is the straps don't stay up no matter how much you tighten them. 

Va Va Voom!!! Where do I even begin?! The dress is GAWGEOUS DAWLING! I felt like I was plucked from a 1950s Spanish soap opera. I received tons of compliments. The dress was very form fitting. If you do not like your curves accentuated this might not be the dress for you. BUT if you want all your curves on full display, grab this dress; and do it now! 

I wore this to an evening rehearsal dinner and it fit the bill: dark color a little more "fun" than plain black; midi length to avoid being too casual; and the material was light enough for August weather in Boston. 

True to size, fitted but not uncomfortable.

5’4 32DD normally wear a 2-4 in dresses xS fit great 

A beautiful dress! I wore it to a late February wedding and the color and length were perfect for the season. I wore a faux fur shawl with it for coverage/warmth.
This fit much smaller than I had anticipated. I usually wear Medium in Dress the Population but I needed the Large. Very fitted throughout, a little difficult to move around in but I may just not be used to wearing fitted dresses.
Loved it! Just make sure you get a larger backup size. 

Okay I loved this dress so much. Length was perfect and I loved that I didn't have to wear a bra with it. It does fit a big snug that I was in between wearing this size or a bigger size and just chose to be slightly uncomfortable in the tighter dress. Overall I would highly recommend this style. Very flattering
