Great but not for the occasion
Ordered this as my back up and it's a great dress. I ended up wearing my first option because it suited the occasion better but I would get this dress again for something else. It was pretty tight so I'd say it runs a bit small.

Sexy and sparkly!
I really liked this dress. I wore it to a Mardi Gras ball. The 0L was fine but would have preferred a slightly tighter fit. If you plan to wear heals this might be a bit short for tall people. I'm 5'6 and with 4" heals it was just the right length. This dress has an actual train which wasn't really clear to me in the photos. It's a gorgeous dress and definitely a showstopper.

OK dress....
This was my back up dress. My first choice turned out to be way too short to even consider. This dress was pretty but it didn't quite fit me. A size 0 would have been perfect but RTR does not carry that. I could have worn it despite the fit but I just didn't feel pretty in it. The arm hole was a bit snug while the dress was too loos from the waist up. The length was great though. I could have easily worn some great heels with this dress. Didn't end up wearing it though. This order was my first major disappointment with RTR as everything got sent back and I wore my own dress instead. My fear is that with the growing popularity of RTR, it's just not what it used to be.

Stood out!
Wore this to a charity awards dinner where the dress code was cocktail. Wasn't about it at first but it grew on me. You definitely need to be quite tall to wear this dress. At 5' 6" and 5" heels I still wasn't sure it was a flattering silhouette for me. You need a longer necklace or belt to break up your figure. The gap in the shoulder is a cool design feature and it makes the dress a little less sweet/cute. I have quite muscular arms and the sleeve was a bit too tight in size 2 but the rest of the dress fit me perfectly. I got several compliments and stood out both because of the color and since it was very different compared to what everyone else was wearing. Definitely more fashion forward!

Pretty but didn't end up wearing it
I ordered this as the safe bet but ended up not wearing it. It felt a lot more conservative that it came across on the website. Probably because it ended up being below the knee on me. As many others have said it did seem to run a bit small. Pretty dress though.

This was my back up dress which i did not wear. The rouching at the front of the dress was not figure flattering. It just made it look like the dress didn't fit me and it diminished my waist. I think it would work better for someone with a little bit of a tummy. The visible silver zipper in the back is not pretty. It belongs on a more edgy, short dress not an evening gown. I do agree with what someone else said about it your butt look good.

Great dress - tricky color
This dress is beautiful and very sexy! It was a little bit long on me even tough I wore platforms with high heels so I worried about snagging the sheer material. As others have mentioned, the color is tricky. It is not gold and it's not bronze either. My complexion is quite dark and it was not the optimal color for me but it worked. I wore the dress to a ball and got loads of compliments ;)
