I didn't wear this dress. The bodice was uncomfortably snug on me and the cut at the arm hole made for a very unflattering look. The fabric is beautiful and on the right body, this would be a fun party and dancing dress!

Wanted to wear a long sleeve dress for a client dinner. This was a cute and comfortable option. The dress is a little on the short side for my 5'8" frame but it is longer in the back and I wore opaque tights so it wasn't too scandalous for a work event. Medium wasn't tight over my hips/booty/thighs where I carry most of my weight.

Like other reviewers have noted this dress is bright preppy apple green, not seafoam or mint as the picture suggests. I loved the color and stood out in a sea of black and plums. The fit was good - I'm hippy so I worry about straighter cut dresses fitting but this one had enough of an A-line that it was comfortable standing and sitting. There is some boning that didn't quite fit perfectly in the chest but it was fine.

I actually wore both the small and medium of this dress and couldn't notice the difference. The dress is super flowy and drapey - great if you are looking to highlight your shoulders/decolletage rather than your waistline/booty. The arm holes go quite low - low enough to show the bottomside of your bra which depending on your age may or may not be okay.

Rented this for NYE in NYC. As a West Coaster, I was worried about being chilly so I rented a dress with long sleeves. This dress provided more coverage while the lace allowed for a sexy peek a boo effect. The fabric was thick enough that no shape wear was needed. My only complaint was the seam on the hip was a little odd and didn't lay smoothly against my hip.

The slit on the back of this dress was dangerously high. Might be due to my height (5'8") but it was a challenge to keep from flashing people throughout the wedding.

RTR picture of this dress is (as others have noted) totally misleading but its still a beautiful dress. The color is certainly darker blue-turquoise than a paler green-turquoise. I wore the extra folded pieces forward as it was more flattering on the bust. The hem is varied in length which helps the length work for multiple heights - I'm not positive they actually sent me a 4L not a regular 4 (sorry should have checked before returning!) - I'm 5'8" and wearing a lower heel (2.5"). I think if my natural waist was lower, the length to floor would have been longer and not folded at the waistline - maybe a bigger size would have achieved this? The dress was very easy to dance in and has beautiful movement but I did step on the hem as I went up and down stairs.

I was very pleased when I received this dress in the mail. The color varies depending on the lighting from a bright tangerine/coral to an almost pumpkin/amber color. The length was great for me and I felt appropriately, but fashionably, dressed for the wedding. I agree with the other reviewers that the skirt fabric is thin and requires the right undergarments for a smooth finish.
