Summer wedding
I was squarely between the small and medium. The small was really tight in the chest but the medium buckled open on the sides and I was worried about inadvertently flashing people seated next to me. Opted to wear the small and suck it up/in. (5'5/127 lbs/34b)

Want to buy!
This dress is beautiful and comfortable. You can wear a regular bra. With a pear shape, I vary between size 4 and 6, depending on the designer and cut of the dress (5'5 and 128 lbs) Wore the 4 easily.

Gorgeous back, but difficult to wear.
The dress was so pretty, but not very functional. I felt like I was constantly tugging it down and adjusting the shoulders. I am 5'5 and it was really short on me. I used fashion tape to keep the shoulders/back on. I wouldn't recommend it for a wedding if you planned on dancing. It would probably work for an event where you stood or sat the entire time.

So much sparkle
I am usually a size 4 and the small fit perfectly. Full disclosure, if you have any sort of tummy, the sequins reflect in the light and make it look bigger. I spent a lot of time sucking in. That being said, it's a beautiful dress.

Flattering and classy
I felt like this dress wasn't anything special when I saw it online, but I tried it on in the showroom and really liked it. The lace is shimmery, but not over the top and the waist nips in perfectly. It also photographed well. The only issue was the hem on the slip of the size 4 stuck out beyond the bottom of the dress and looked worn. The 2 was in much better condition, so i sucked it in and wore the smaller size. I would highly recommend this dress for a wedding or evening cocktail party.

Didn't fit
I'm normally a size 4 and the top half of the dress was huge but the waist band was really tight. Unwearable unfortunately. Might work well on a more endowed girl.

Great dress for a short girl
I am pretty short (5'5) and this dress was the perfect length for me. The arms were a bit tight as others mentioned, but not uncomfortably so. The lace was pretty and could be worn for a wedding or other formal event.

Beautiful dress! Got so many compliments!
The dress was very flattering on top but not so much on my pear-shaped bottom half. The way the dress draped made me look wider than I actually am. Regardless, people seemed to really like it and the rose gold was a beautiful color. The perfect dress for a black tie wedding. RTR service was amazing as always.

Sparkly and fun!
Both the 4 and 6 fit, but I ended up wearing the 6 knowing I would be moving around a lot. I later noticed in some pictures, it looked a bit baggy, but I was comfortable the entire night. The dress is more sparkly than on the model.

Perfect dress for a bride (with lots of fashion tape)
I wore this for my rehearsal dinner. The waist fit perfectly on the 4 but the straps were huge. I ended up taping/folding over almost two inches. I wore a shawl to cover the back because the folds looked awkward. The a-line is also a little more intense than pictured on the model.
