When I initially received this dress, I didn't think I was going to like it very much.  My first choice had unfortunately become unavailable very close to my event, so this dress was a panic choice.  It turned out marvelous! We attended a very warm wedding day and this dress was light and fit very well.  I received a lot of compliments about the fit, that it wasn't too tight, but fit well and the ruffles were well liked for a southern wedding.  This dress stayed comfortable throughout a night of dancing, sitting , etc.  I would highly recommend

I wore this for mother's Day and it was a perfect earth mother spring vibe. Very flattering and feminine.

Beautiful fit and comfortable. Compliments all day! 

Truth is, I don't love the pattern and pastels of this dress, but EVERYONE ELSE LOVED IT. I got so many compliments. Strangers stopped me on the street to say how classy and elegant it looked. One women called me over and said "wow. that dress is gorgeous." Hilarious because it felt so old fashioned to me! I will order this one again.

The cut and the ruffles were eye catching, and it was flattering. I'm between size 6 and 8 with a larger bust, and the 6 thankfully fit. 

Worn for my wedding anniversary. My husband LOVED this dress and even suggested I buy it. I wore it because he thought it was beautiful, but it was a little loose in some places. 

This dress seems like a good investment piece. I wore it to a formal wedding in Mexico City but could easily see myself wearing it to many other kinds of events. The fit is true to size/slightly large and flattering, the ruffles aren’t too much. I was told it moved beautifully and looked great on the dance floor

Loved the bottom, couldn’t make the top work for me. Threw a chunky cable sweater over it and it looked beautiful. The color was different in person than what I was expecting in the photos. Not for the shorter girls. It was long on me and I’m 5’8. 

I really loved wearing this dress! It was very soft, flowy and fit well with my body! Perfect for dancing all night long.

I ended up lending this dress to my sister who is the same dress size as me to wear to a Memorial Day Wedding. It was very elegant and comfortable and she truly loved wearing it. She is a bit shorter than I am (5'6 to my 5'8) and found that she had to wear 3inch heels to keep the dress from dragging on the ground. Other than that, it was a wonderful dress to wear for a day-time wedding. 

This is a very pretty dress the small flowers are perfect.  However the length is so long and drags on the floor.  I have 3 inch heels on and could not wear it because I was afraid I’d trip on it.
I also think I could have gotten away w a size 8.

My sister got married at the National Arts Club in Gramercy and was going for an "early spring long floral vibe." This dress fit the scene perfectly. I am a (proudly) curvy gal and I felt like it celebrated my body in all the right ways. Both my mom and my husband approved ;) It was a little long, but I wore block heels and it was fine! 

Dress was perfect! I found it ran a little large, I recommend doing a size down for your backup. 

I would buy this dress if I had more occasions to wear it. The material is great and the fit is spot on and hits all the right places. Only reason for 4 stars is, as others noted, the lining pops out at the top. I was able to secure it with double sided tape. 

Wore this dress for a bridal shower and received lots of compliments from the other ladies. Material is breathable and relatively lightweight, having some stretch to it. The length was perfect for 3" heels. My only complaint was the lining along the neckline kept showing. To fix this I had to tug on the dress repeatedly throughout the event. Fabric tape may have helped in this situation but I did not have that on hand to try at the time.

I LOVE THIS DRESS - if I had more places to wear it, I would buy it. I got so many compliments and the dress is extremely flattering. The ruffles at the bottom of the dress add extra movement and take the dress to a 10/10. Chest and sleeves very flattering and it fit so comfortably. Only thing was it was slightly long, I am 5’6 and wore heels, it is longer on the back than in the front so it still worked, just appears like a small train when wearing it. 

Length of the regular was perfect even though I'm 5'9 and usually order tall versions of things. The big issue with this dress is that the white lining spills over at the v-neck. I tried to compensate with fashion tape to hold it down but it still peaked out sporadically. Very hard to take pictures wearing it with the worry of the white spilling out. Hoping that it didn't during the wedding I stood up in!

I loved this dress and would rent again for sure! I would have given it 5 stars but the white lining kept flipping out near my chest which wasn’t a huge deal, but also a little annoying. It also was just a tad tight for us lower belly  ladies. Definitely need some strong shapewear if that sounds like you :) I will also note I’m 5’4” and it was the perfect length with short heels. If you are taller, might be a little short. 

I loved everything about this dress! I could wear whatever bra I wanted and I felt great wearing it. I didn't think it looked as flattering in photos as I hoped but I still loved it!

It was soooo long that I had to switch into another dress mid wedding 

The dress was beautiful. Just as the photos. Flowy. Got many compliments. Fun to dance in. 

Absolutely loved this dress. It was so comfortable and elegant. The length was perfect for me but it would definitely be too long on shorter girls. 

This is my third success by RL! The quality and comfort is always there. The fit is perfect and the ruffles and ruching are in the most flattering areas. But this dress is LONG! I had to get 5 inch heels to wear with it, but you couldn’t see them under the beautiful ruffles. Felt like a model in this!

Pretty dress and flattering — but it was way too long. I couldn’t wear it for that reason alone. Also very frilly
