Unfortunately, I needed the 8 in this dress and it has been discontinued by RTR. The dress runs a bit small in the bust/back area, and while I'm small chested, I have a large rib cage, so the 6 fit me everywhere, but didn't zip up! That said, the 10 was an ok fit. The main issue is that it ended up being a bit big in the hips and the straps kept falling down, but it still looked great. Overall, a beautiful dress, just a bit unforgiving sizing-wise if you aren't narrow.

I wore this dress to the horse races in Del Mar and received a number of compliments. It is a very va-va-voom type of dress that accentuates (or creates) an hourglass figure. I wore bra petals, as a bra would've been impossible. The fabric is heavy weight and the structure of the dress is tight enough that a bra might not have even been necessary at all.

As others have said this dress does fit tight in the hips and in my case, thanks to years of swimming, a bit tight in the shoulders as well. I didn't worry too much about the hips when I ordered it as mine aren't all that wide, but if you do have wide hips absolutely go a size up. I typically wear a 4 or a 6 and went with the 6 which I still found myself adjusting around the hips

Overall it was a perfect dress for the occasion and I would definitely rent it again. 

Paired with a jacket since it was a little cool outside.  Was a little low cut, small in the hips,  larger up top.  

I had to wear fashion tape, which felt a little uncomfortable, but the dress was so beautiful that it was worth it! 

wore this to a fraternity formal and felt pretty all night! a little long for my height and needed some adjusting with the deep V, but so worth it and so easy!

very low cut and needed to use fashion tape to secure

Other reviewers are correct, this dress is tight in the waist.  I ended up wearing it and loving it though!  I wore it for my college matriculation ceremony, and received tons of complements always had to give the true credit to you all! Thank you RTR!

its a great pattern but ran larger in the chest area and smaller in the hips. The dip in the neckline runs deep and if you wear a darker color pair of underthings-it is noticeable..

Beautiful dress! Everyone seemed to love it.  Be cautious as the bust area is a strange cut/size.  I'm a smaller chested woman and was not able to wear a bra with this due to tightness yet felt like the girls could pop out if I started dancing too much. The fabric has no stretch to it but the cut was so flattering and lady-like.  I felt like a true southern belle wearing this dress.

As it appears in the photo, the skirt will fit snugly, almost like a pencil skirt.

I absolutely loved this dress! It fit perfectly and if I happened to have a couple hundred dollars lying around, I would totally buy this dress! 

I wore it to an outdoor wedding...in the middle of the summer...in the middle of the day...on one of the hottest days of the year and, even though I was sweating, you couldn't tell (no sweat marks or anything)! Highly recommended!

I wore this dress to an outdoor wedding - great color and detail. Loved the neckline! The only issue I had was that the dress would bunch up at the hips so a lot of pulling down was needed. Overall, very pleased with the rental. 

This dress fit great!  The only issue I had was finding a bra that worked under it.  My normal strapless bra wasn't low enough.  I ended up having to get the Maidenform Combo Wing Bra and that worked perfectly.  I have no hips (8 on top, 2 on bottom), so I was grateful for all the reviews saying this dress is small in the hips.  Normally I don't fill the bottom half of dresses but this one seemed to be made for me.

Loved this dress! I wore it to the Foxfield Horse Race in Virginia, it fits a little bit funny across the hips but not badly.  Definitely wish I could keep this one.

conservative dress perfect for brunch or meeting the parents.  Very Slimming! 

The color is amazing --- perfect for a summer wedding. The V-neck is super deep though so make sure you have a good push-up if you are smaller on top.

Wore this dress to a Rehearsal Dinner held on a patio overlooking a horse farm. It was perfect for the occasion.  I had to wear the larger size, as this dress is quite straight and tight through the hips - might not be the best choice for fellow pears.  The top was pretty loose and I had to tape the bust line to avoid an accident.  The V neckline was too low cut for me to wear a strapless bra.  I paired it with an orange pashmina that helped me feel a little more modest. The fabric is really beautiful - there is a subtle flower print on the white, with the pink links printed over top.
