Not for short torsos or people
I just looked frumpy in bright colors. Hated it.

Perfect Fit with Some Razzle Dazzle
I wore this to a mid-Spring wedding in GA. So while it was warm enough to not need a jacket, there was a slight chill in the air. The long sleeves were perfect. The print overlay is the cherry on top for such a simple dress. It adds the pizzazz. It's a bodycon, well, that's the fit I preferred. Also the overlay is long so I could let it bunch/ruche right over my tummy.

Beautiful dress but....
I really really want to love this dress but it's just not for me. The hips were still a bit too narrow in the XL. But then the bust area was too small, offering no support and requiring a strapless bra. My bra showed through the cutout/keyhole, and because the bust was slightly big, it kept falling down so I was constantly adjusting. Between tugging on the bust area skirt around my hips, I was very self-conscious. Beautiful dress but it's not for me, bottom line.

Gorgeous Dress!
Unfortunately, I did not wear this dress. The weight of all the sequences definitely helps the dress to lay on your body perfectly. I was nervous about the split since I have large thighs so I got the XL as a back up but the L was fine. If I had worn it, I don't think I would need any shape wear because its just that thick and it was not too tight. The color was perfect as pictured but I thought it was too dark for a summer wedding. It hugs all the right places. UPDATE: I rented it for another wedding and as expected it was a hit. Compliments all night. I would remind others to order a size you are comfortable with otherwise if it too snug you run the risk of the front split being opened too wide.

Summer wedding and compliments all night!
I rented and wore the 12 because the 10 was all booked. I originally wasn't sure about the split, since I have large hips and even larger thighs, I didn't want to be too leggy at a wedding, so I knew I wanted the 12 definitely. The 10 would have fit much better. Make sure you rent a backup size just in case. The bust was a little big that I had to pin it on both sides. I found the stomach area was loose as well. The dress did shift some because it was loose but I think it still looked great. The color was brighter than I expected but the other reviews were mixed on the color. This dress is simple but sexy.

One of my best friends' wedding! Too much fun to even get a pic by myself.
This dress fits true to size. I ordered the 8, although it was a bit too snug for my liking, it also had a hole in it so the 10 was the only option. I got compliments all night from my friends but when a stranger (a woman) walks over only to compliment your dress, you know for sure it was the perfect choice. It is super sexy with the cut out and split but the length makes it appropriate. I am a pear shape so while the top fit perfectly, the thigh opened more than normal, but I didn't mind too much. I just made sure it didn't ride too much through out the night.

I wore this to a 1920's themed wedding. I got compliments ALL night. Which is the point why we RTR!
This dress fit my body well, like a glove, but it was comfortable enough to move and dance. I am 5'3" and I got the R length. I read other reviews and most people who mentioned length issues were 5'5" and above so I thought I would be fine. I prefer gowns hit the floor while wearing heels, so I recommend if you have the same preference to order the Long. I was able to pick it up in-store. While waiting to try it on, I browsed the racks. I asked to see 2 other dresses I liked. I'm grateful my size was unavailable because my original dress was a hit!
