I sized down because everyone said the dress was extremely long but, I would have worn the 4R if I had had it because after I ate dinner at the wedding I could not breathe ( I wore the 2R).  The 4 would've worked because the dress has a built in bodice with three different columns of clasps to customize your bodice size.  Moral of the story: size down for your backup.  Gorgeous material.  I had to iron it and the wrinkles wouldn't really budge but, it looks great in the photo.  Perfect for a May outdoor wedding in downtown.

A little long, I am 5'-7" and had on 3.5" heels and it kissed the floor a little bit. But 4" would've been perfect. 

2R is still too long for me so I ended up picking the other dress. Otherwise this dress is very unique. Nice fabric and beautiful colors. 

The fabric is crazy soft and thick, and the dress isn't form fitting at all- no Spanx required, so it's incredibly comfy... but don't wear this if you want to show off any curves. 
The big problem- I'm 5'4", and with 5 inch heels the fabric was still puddled on the ground. I temporarily hemmed it with safety pins, and ended up pinning more than five inches of fabric! 
Seriously, it's a beautiful dress, but not for anyone who isn't planning on being 6 feet tall including heels, or isn't willing to put in the time to improvise with fashion tape, safety pins and an iron. 

The dress was surprisingly beautiful, though, as you would guess from the picture, not form fitting. There were a few visible snags in the embroidery, but the colors really popped, and the dress was flattering. Not for everyone, but I really loved this dress.

Upon taking this out of the bag, both my husband and I were like..... blink, blink... what?!?!  At first glace, the material feels heavy and un-feminine (remember felt boards as a kid?  that's what it feels like).  It looks lumpy and un-flatting.  HOWEVER, keep going and TRY THIS DRESS ON!  It's beautiful, flattering and the material comes in very handy for a Colorado winter formal affair. The colors are beautiful, understated and elegant.  My girl crush on Tory Burch continues.

I did not end up wearing this stunning dress.  I am 5'9 and with 4 inch heels the dress was still too long!

The structure in the dress was amazing, built in mega bra.  Beautiful fabric.

I don't think this dress is flattering to my body type (slightly pear shaped). I am very small-busted, and slightly smaller on top in proportion to my hips and butt. The fabric is pretty heavy, and was very large for me on top, while really clinging to my butt in a way that I didn't like at all.  Very pretty dress, but not for me. 

Dress is very pretty but too long for someone under 5'3"

This dress is BEAUTIFUL in person - the colors are vibrant but still delicate and the pattern in the middle is textured, making the fabric feel thick and rich. The fit, however, wasn't for me. It is not cut to hug your figure (it's almost straight on the sides), and also seemed to run a little larger than normal. On me, the 0R just looked like it was hanging there - I didn't end up wearing it. I recommend sizing down if you want a more fitted look (or if you have a smaller bust and/or hips) and going with your normal size if you want it looser.
