Great for formal party
I wore this dress to a holiday party and loved it! Was a bit snug but overall received a lot of compliments!

Good dress for 2 months postpartum
The fit was comfortable for being two months postpartum. I didn't like that on the hips it ruched up a little bit which made me look wider. But overall fit well and was good to wear to a baptism.

Perfect amount of sparkle for bridal shower
Fit like a glove - hugged in all the right places and I felt like it made me look thinner than usual - and this was a backup dress! Really glad it was available for my shower.

Too tight :(
This fit me everywhere but the bust area, which was super surprising, as I am bigger in the hips and smaller in the chest area. I am only a 34B and it was really tight, especially when I sat down. Also, I have broad shoulders and I could feel the dress digging into my armpit area. Definitely size up for your backup!

Great dress - loved the color!
Perfect for a winter wedding - arms are definitely a bit tight, which is why I needed to size up. Make sure you consider that before ordering!! Otherwise, beautiful dress and loved the pockets!!

LOVE this dress, you really stand out
I would have definitely worn the 8 had it been an option, but was damaged so RTR couldn't ship it. Was very tight throughout the body, but I just wore it anyways. Ended up looking really nice, and didn't have to pull it up at all during the night. Received lots of compliments and would wear again!

Liked it, was pretty comfortable
I wore this for a birthday party. It was alright, but looking back at pictures I would have picked something else. Felt like it made we look wider than I am and I wore flats, so it looked a bit weird.

Amazing dress!
Loved this dress! Was a great fit (although a little bit long for a 5'9 girl with flats on). Received countless compliments . Only thing for me that was a downside, was that right in the armpits it was a bit snug. However, as the night went on, I hardly noticed! Highly recommend!!

Perfect dress, everyone loved it!
I wore this to a formal work holiday party. The fit was a little snug on me, as I have pretty wide hips and a bigger butt. I am 5'9 and the long was the perfect length for flats (I like when the dress hits the ground just a little and covers your shoes). Unfortunately someone at my event was wearing the same thing - I wish RTR had some way of documenting if someone was already wearing the dress you selected to the event! Other than that, everyone loved my dress, and I received SO many compliments on it. This was a backup dress too, as mine was unavailable due to damage or late return, so was happy it worked out. Would definitely recommend!!

Great birthday dress!
I ended up going somewhere a bit less formal than planned, so felt a little overdressed - but I definitely stood out, in a good way! Got some great pictures in this dress, and it was very comfortable. Also, was warm enough to wear even in the November weather. Would definitely recommend for a party dress!

Great purse for busy dress!

This necklace was perfect !
I wore this necklace with the Shoshanna Mia Maxi, and it complemented the dress very well. It was comfortable, easily clasped in the back, and I had no issues! So glad I ordered it!!

Great dress, realize straps can be adjusted!!
I loved this dress! It was so beautiful with the turqouise beads RTR recommends, and is very comfortable. Perfect length with flats. The one thing I will say is it felt a little tight in my shoulders (I have very broad swimming shoulders) until I realized it could be loosened. However, if I loosened it to my comfort level, you could see part of my strapless bra, so that was a bit disappointing. Luckily the beads covered it for the most part, and I just kept the straps a little bit on the tight side. I did have to size up from the 4L to the 6L just because of the straps. Overall it was a wonderful dress and would highly recommend it!!

Loved the dress. Only negative - tight in sleeves!
Everyone loved my dress! It photographed really well, and was very comfortable. I tried on the 6 and it fit everywhere but the arms, so I ended up going with my larger size. Definitely size up just because of that part of the dress!! The 8 worked out well though - was a little big at the top, but allowed me to move around a lot better than the 6 would have. Body and length fit very well, was worried with length as I am 5'9, but was right at/above my knees. Would definitely rent again and try a different color :)

Too small in the hips!
I thought this would run large per the other comments on the dress, so I ordered my regular size and a size smaller. My regular size I could barely get over my hips. When I walked I could feel how tight the dress was on my hips. The top part fit perfectly, and I know if I had sized up, it would have been much too big there. Overall, if you are a hourglass shape, this probably isn't the dress for you. Unfortunately I did not wear the dress, I did not want it to split in the middle of the evening!

Great dress! Very comfortable and fun...
The 6R fit very well, and I wore 2 inch heels, so was glad I did not get the long. I did not want it dragging on the ground all night, so was the right decision for me. One issue I had was with the fabric on the dress. When I tried the 4 on it fit great, but with the 6 at the bottom, it was almost as if some of the material had come un-sewn. Luckily it tucked under, so you couldn't see it, but I could feel it a bit. Other than that, the dress was a hit and everyone loved it! Can't wait to use RTR again! Shipping was a breeze.
