Not for the tall
This is a stunning dress. I’m 6’2” and weigh 200 lbs. Because I am so tall, the top of the zipper hit me around my rib cage rather than at my waist so I couldn’t get it zipped. Had it been just a bit longer waisted, it would have fit perfectly.

More like a shirt than a dress
Granted I am 6'2" but this thing was so short. It barely covered my waist. It's also a very awkward material. I think on a short and thin person, this is probably a winner. But on a tall, curvy lass, it just looks horrible.

Not for long torsos
I agree with other reviewers that the material is heavenly. I wasn't able to wear this though because I couldn't get it over my boobs and onto my shoulders. I am 6'2" and weigh 200 lbs. This was incredibly short in the torso and legs for me (even the "long" version was too short).

Flattering, conservative dress
I rented this dress for Thanksgiving dinner out with my family. I loved the length and color. The back detail and full length zipper set it apart from a regular pencil dress. While both the M and L fit, I felt like the L made more sense since I was going to be stuffing my face all night. I did find the armpit area to be a little tight but that's because I have a very broad chest/shoulder area. The only downside was that my hair was constantly being caught in the zipper, which reaches all the way to the top of the turtleneck in back.

Casual LBD
I really liked this dress but it was a little more casual than I had hoped despite the shimmery fabric. It was a backup dress and since my primary dress didn't fit, I went with this one. I wore it for NYE and dressed it up with a big necklace and CLs. The 12 was a little big on me but a smaller size would have been too short for me. It's stretchy and forgiving but very short.

Much heavier than expected
I love the look of this dress but the material was much heavier and stiffer than I expected. It just didn't hang properly on me. I was swimming in the large and the front slit of the medium was so high it exposed my crotch. I am super tall though so on a shorter frame it may be suitable.

Awkward fit for a tall frame
RTR sent me this when the dress I rented was damaged. While I love the colors of this dress the fit was wrong for me. I am tall and curvy and this dress sort of just hung on me in the 10 and the 12. I was hoping for a stretchy, tight fit but it was more baggy and boxy. I didn't find this dress to be sexy or flattering in anyway.

Too small for me
This is an absolutely gorgeous piece of jewelry. I have been coveting it for a while! I was sad to discover that it didn't fit me. I could clasp it on the loosest notch but it was impossibly uncomfortable and restricted my breathing. My neck is 12.5".

Sexy and classy
I was pretty surprised this dress fit me since I usually wear a 12. So I'd say this dress is super stretchy and runs large (or the dress I received was mismarked) but it doesn't lose its form. The mesh parts are very see through, but I was in Vegas so this didn't bother me. If you were wearing this in a more conservative venue, you'd probably want some undergarments. If you're an amazon like me, the mesh stripes on the bottom of the dress will lead all the way up to your lady parts. I didn't wear a bra and felt comfortable without one.

Simple but stunning
This dress is fabulous! I ordered the L and M and wore the M because it held me in a little better. The fabric has a slight stretch. The asymmetrical hem is stunning. Love the slightly longer length in the back. It definitely benefits from a big necklace, which I didn't have. Wish I owned this one! Will rent it again.

Beautiful, standout color!
This is a beautiful cut and color that definitely stands out. I received several compliments on this dress. I didn't wear a bra with it and didn't need one. In my opinion the dress runs a little large. I probably could have worn the 10 since the back of the 12 was a little baggy. The length was short but that's my preference. Wish I owned this one!

Fabulous summer color! Not ideal fit for tall girls
I loved this dress! The fit wasn't quite right for my tall frame. The waist of the dress was much higher than my natural waist, so there was a "pouch" of fabric above my bum. I had to keep pulling it down to avoid the pouch. A smaller size may have remedied this but I didn't try the 10 so can't be sure. Looks fabulous with nude heels. I loved the color and fabric. It's two layers (lace over a nude lining) but i didn't find it too hot even though it was above 90 the evening I wore it. I didn't wear a bra and didn't feel I needed one. The lining has an opening in the back, so a bra would show through the lace.

Lovely dress but not the right fit for me
I love the pattern and cut of this dress. I have a large rib cage (as well as a large chest) and though it zipped, I didn't feel comfortable enough to wear it. The print is really lovely and went well with black shoes. The length was a little more conservative than I usually like but great for a daytime theater venue. I am 6'2" and it hit below mid thigh.
