NOT for curvy petites
I listened to reviews and sized up a little too much I guess. I usually wear a 2 or 4 and ordered a 4 and 6…and neither were even close to fitting on top. My whole breast would show! I’m small on top, larger on the bottom (pear shaped). Unfortunately, I cannot wear this to my event and have no backup :’(. RTR used to have a setting that allowed you to search for your shape (ie pear, apple, etc), and I wish they would bring that back.

Beautiful, but tight
Very beautiful dress overall. It looks purple in some lighting, blue in others. The silhouette is gorgeous. I'm usually between a 0-2P, and the 2P fit just right. The length with heels on I'm sure was the perfect length. However, mermaid cut just isn't for me. I was planning to be in wedding photos and walking and dancing all day, so I opted to wear a different style dress that was easier to move in.

Beautiful dress
Pros: Beautiful emerald color. Easy to dance in! The peekaboo on the right foot is cute. I received many compliments all night! Cons: Runs large on top if you are small busted. Petite size was still long on me even with high heels and dragged on the ground. Make sure to lift it while walking!

Appropriately sexy
Form-fitting and sexy, yet still very tasteful! I wore this to a rehearsal dinner to a family wedding. It fit a bit snugly, but it was still family-appropriate. A size up was too baggy.

Very awkward cut
Pros: The color was a very pretty fiery orange/red. Cons: The arm holes were very large and low-cut. The overall cut of the dress was not flattering on me, and the material was unforgiving. I did not wear this to an event.

Did not fit
I rented a 0P and backup size 2P. RTR notified me a few days before the event that the 0P would not be ready in time, so I was advised to select another dress, which was panic-inducing! Luckily, the other dress was even better than this one and actually fit. The 2P fit so strangely - it was tight in the bust, but almost too loose in the waist and neck? Maybe it was just my body type, but it did not look right.

Pretty but tight
The size I thought would fit best wasn't available, so I sized down. It looked great in photos, and I received a lot of compliments! But in reality, I was so uncomfortable. The material was tight and unforgiving. Dancing and climbing steps were just out of the question. Maybe a size up wouldn't have been so bad, but I would not rent this dress or any style like it again. I also would not recommend this dress to anyone that normally wears petite sizes.

Stunning!
My favorite dress yet. I wore this to a formal wedding reception, and received endless compliments. As someone that usually wears all black everything, I was super nervous about wearing yellow, but it looked stunning. (That is the word 2 people used to describe it on me! So flattering.) I am short, so the dress fell lower on me than the model - right at my ankles, so it passed for a "gown". Definitely size up - the EU sizes run small. Tight in the bust, but a little looser in the hips.

I felt fabulous!
Wore this to a formal wedding, and received compliments all night! I am very short, and this dress still fit well enough (grazed the ground a bit) and looked great! I felt like I was on the red carpet! The dress arrived a few days early, with a small tear inside. I reported it to RTR, and they allowed me to choose replacement(s) at no charge that also arrived on time. The replacements didn't fit as well, so I stuck with this one. Impressive, professional service. Would highly recommend!
