Really pretty Nicole miller dress which runs true to all her sizing. I always wear a zero in her stuff, and this was a two because the zero was unavailable and also because the reviews said it ran small. It was alright, but it fell a bit too low on the back bottom part and I think had it been a bit smaller it would've just had impact whereas this size made it a bit Womp Womp. But it's really pretty and would be great for any summer formal occasion.

The fit of this dress is amazing. The material is slightly thick, but not enough to be hot, and it hugs you in all the right places. The color is a bit less pink and more Nantucket red in reality, but it is stunning either way. You can be pale, you can be tan. I am 5'5" and had on about 3 inch heels and the R didn't touch the ground unless I sat or bend town, which was great. I normally wear a 0/2 and the RTR rep online suggested for this one that I order a 2 and a 4 because I am busty and this one runs small. She was definitely right about it running small, but I think I could've ordered a 0/2 like normal instead of 2/4. I generally don't feel comfortable without a bra, but in this one I didn't have to wear one and the girls looked great. This dress was sophisticated but fun and youthful, sexy in a very classy way. I don't recommend for someone who anyone who can't take a compliment ;)

This was actually my backup dress that I ordered for a black tie wedding so last minute that all the other dresses I'd been looking at were sold out, so I picked two that I was less excited about while looking online. I guess everything happens for a reason, because the dress I ordered as my first choice did not work at all, but when I put this one on I knew IMMEDIATELY that this was perfect. It fits quite true to size, and is great for someone with an athletic to hourglass build. The material is on the heavy side, but that's alright, and it definitely is snug in the fit but that's exactly how it should be with this kind of a cut. The 2R was a perfect length with about a 3 1/2 inch heel for me at 5'5"... could be a 3" heel, but yeah. I had to pick it up when walking up and down stairs but that's pretty standard for a ball gown. Oh! and it has a great bustier inside to keep your girls in line without a bra. I literally got non stop compliments, and was told everything from that it looked like it was made just for me, to comments on the detail in the tulle. Definitely a great rental.

I rented this dress for a black tie wedding. I rented a 2R and a 4R, and when I went to try it on it definitely fit me... in fact it was a bit big in the 2 (nothing that a strapless bra with padding couldn't fix) and the 4 was huge. Normally I am a 0-2 and had gained a bit of weight recently so got the size up per recommendations on the site. But no, this runs big. I didn't end up wearing it, not because of the size issue but actually because when I went to zip it up, it was impossible to zip! This had nothing to do with the fit - I could pull the zipper together and even overlap with extra material on both sizes. But, at the point where the skirt meets the bodice, it becomes super stiff. I had my roommate help me zip it and we got it zipped, but I knew I'd be getting ready for the wedding alone so I couldn't risk not being able to zip up the dress. So, all in all a very pretty dress... but definitely with a design flaw.
