First of all, be advised that this dress is not vanity sized. Order at least one size up, if not two. I'm usually a 2 dress in the brands I wear day to day - J Crew, BR, Loft, etc - and in this dress I should have been a 6.  The 6 wasn't available, though, so I got a 4 and an 8; I'm wearing the 4 in the picture, and you can see it's a bit snug. That said, though, the dress is very well made, very comfortable, and flexible with a very flattering fabric; I could have worn the 8 and I don't think anyone would have really noticed it was too big. So, with all that in mind, I definitely recommend it! I will echo the other reviewers, though, that the neckline wire was all messed up and kind of folded down, which was annoying.

Silk lined with thick fabric ensures any minor bumps or lumps are hidden. Beautiful red color. Very classy fit just below the knee and covers the bust with a delicate neckline is conservative and mature without looking matronly. Loved this dress. Minor con is the wiring to keep the neck shape was a little awry so I kept fussing with it.

I think this dress is a lot prettier in person than what you see on the model.
The neckline is gorgeous- received many compliments. It's very elegant and feminine.

Runs small - definitely needed Spanx. Conservative length and neckline was good for a work event. Strangely unfinished hem but it isn't noticeable. Didn't have any problems with the wire in the neckline like others did.  Very comfortable, but not a lot of arm movement. 

I liked this dress way better in person. In the model photo it looks stiff and conservative, but in person it is much more relaxed and effortless-looking. The long length and covered shoulders made it appropriate for the Mormon wedding I attended, but it didn't make me feel at all matronly. It was the dress of the night for sure; compliments from everyone. Plus, the fabric is a more casual ponte-knit, which made it comfortable for the whole 14-hour event.

Wore three RTR dresses for a work conference with all the big wigs. While not my personal favorite of the three, this one definitely got me the most compliments by far.  Beautiful color and very classy. They were out of my normal size so I had to go one size up, but I think it turned out well as I feel like my "true size" might have been a little too form fitting to be work appropriate.  It was very comfortable, only problem is that one side of the collar folded over and the other stayed up straight.  Tried all I could think of to fix it, but ended up just using a bobby pin to keep it folded over (my hair covered the pin).  

Very comfortable and flattered my body style well. 

This dress was super elegant and lady-like! The sleeves and neckline is probably the best part. There is wiring under the curve in the front that sort of protrudes out if the dress isn't the right size. Fortunately I had no issues with the 6 (but did with the 8). I wore a red satin obi belt with it, but it also looked great without. Received a ton of compliments! 

Fully lined and stretchy but definitely need your Spanx. Wore a regular bra which is always more comfortable. Very ladylike and goes to the knee. Perfect!

just put in my shopping bag.  I'm 5'3, 138 and 36D, i am hoping i can look just like she does in this picture because she rocks it!!

Every said I gave them Jackie O/ Diana Ross flair.  I wore this dress to church and to my birthday dress. It was perfect.  I wore red the entire weekend and this beautiful red was perfect. The 6 fit like a glove but I wore the 8 since I was going to church so I would say that it is true to size. I'm 5'2 and it hit me below the knee. My only issue was the wire that frames the top did not stay flat like it was supposed to. 

The neckline of this dress looks just as classy in person as it does in the photo, and the dress fell right where I had hoped at my knees, so with the chic cut of the dress and the bold color, I definitely felt well dressed for my graduation. 

However, the dress had some strange cons - I go between a 4 and a 6 based on the designer, but I tried on both sizes in this dress and neither fit quite right. I went with the 4, but the lining isn't made from the same stretchy material as the dress, and I actually found it hard to take very large steps. This was kind of a problem for graduation, Also, the sleeves were very restrictive and I couldn't even raise my arm all the way. Trying to raise it half way even hurt. And the neckline, though gorgeous, keeps its shape with a boning. Unfortunately, the size 4's boning was kind of wonky, so that one side kind of bent forward awkwardly. I tried using an iron to heat it into submission, but it didn't work. As for the 6 - it was easier to walk in, but the sleeves were still a problem, and the stomach area was actually a bit baggy. On the upside, nobody knew the size 4 was difficult to wear, so I still looked great for my event, but I'd definitely caution other renters about these elements of the dress, in case their event may be more active.

Dress was brighter red than anticipated but it was a pretty color.  Fit tight in the hips and the thighs but fit correct in the bust and the waist.  The hem was unfinished, strange for a dress like this but you couldn't tell unless you looked.  I could have gotten away with the 8 but wore the 10 because it is super clingy and the arms/shoulders are a bit constricting- meaning you will not be doing the YMCA very well in this number.  I received a lot of compliments on the dress and paired it with nude shoes and gold jewelry.  I would wear it again.
