Between and 0 and 2, I went with the 2 because it gave a little more room in the mid section. I could have done the 0, but it just wasn't as comfortable. I felt the length was a bit long for my body (I'm 5' 4" and it hit just at, or even a little below, my knees). The "train" in the back hit mid-calf. I loved the unique back and it was really easy to adjust. I feel this dress is pretty formal...perhaps too formal for the garden wedding I attended. Nevertheless, I got many, many compliments on this dress.

I'm not usually a lace type of person, but decided to give this dress a shot. I'm really glad I did. The color is a vibrant red, almost orange, almost coral. It's hard to describe, but it's very eye-catching and fun. Due to armpit fat, I decided to go with the size 2 (vs 0). I wore a padded "add 2 cup sizes" bra with this dress, so despite my usual 34B size, I was able to pull of a 34 "D," but there wasn't much extra room and the fabric doesn't have a ton of give, so I wouldn't recommend going any bigger than a D cup in this dress. The length was great. I'm 5' 4" and it hit just above the knee... short enough to be sexy, but still appropriate. So comfortable and easy to dance in!

I rented this dress for my annual company holiday party. I got so many compliments and several people asking where I got it. The dress itself was really comfortable and even had pockets. I could have worn either the 0 or 2, but due to armpit fat, I decided to go with the 2. I liked it more than I thought I would and really appreciated it being so comfortable.

I rented this dress for a spring wedding that was formal, but not black tie. I felt like this dress was a good combination of flowy floral and formal gown. This dress is gorgeous, high-quality, and comfortable. It even has pockets! The 2 fit, but because I'm overly self-conscious about arm pit fat, I decided to go with the 4R to give myself a little more room in the bust. The one thing I will note (as another reviewer mentioned) - this dress is long. The "regular" length touched the floor, even with 4" heels. In fact, even with the 4" heels, I had to watch my step and pick up the dress when walking longer distances, just to prevent it from dragging on the ground. I love this dress. I got plenty of compliments. But it is long. And unless you want to wear super high heels, I wouldn't recommend it for those under 5' 5".

OK, I read every review of every backless/strapless bra on this site (and others). I was extremely skeptical and nervous about wearing an adhesive bra. I usually try to avoid any unconventional bra (strapless, halter, etc.) if at all possible. But this bra was awesome. It stuck on well (I don't know how the technology works, but it was impressive), stayed in place all evening, and was very comfortable. I totally forgot I had it on. Note: I wore it on a mild, cloudy day, so I didn't sweat a lot. I don't know how it would have performed if I had been sweating a lot, but in an air-conditioned room, it was fabulous. It gave some basic cleavage, but mainly just kept everything secure. I would highly recommend this bra to even the most skeptical of ladies.

I liked the dress, but I didn't love the dress. It arrived without the belt; I contacted RTR and they said they would overnight the belt to me, but I never received it. So this dress review is for the dress without the belt.... The pros: This dress is a quality heavy fabric that drapes nicely. It's extremely comfortable - I never felt like I was exposing myself or had to be careful about bending over, etc. The draping hides any stomach insecurities. The back is lovely and unexpected (as another reviewed said). The cons: I felt that the dress was a bit long; it hit at or just below the knees. I also felt like the draping in the front was a bit overwhelming for my petite frame. Maybe the belt would have helped with that. And as other reviewers have said, it does run large, so maybe that was part of the problem. I also felt, personally, that the style of the dress was more suited for someone a bit older (40+). Note: I also purchased the NuBra backless/strapless bra to wear with the dress and it worked perfectly (see my review for the bra).

I was looking for some understated, yet sparkly, jewelry to wear with my wedding dress. These earrings were perfect! Not only were they beautiful, but they were so lightweight and comfortable. They didn't tug on my ears and I didn't even notice I was wearing them. They were very secure, even though 2 hours of dancing.

This bracelet gave my wedding dress the little bit of bling I was looking for. I'm petite and have very small wrists, and was worried that this bracelet would flop around or even slide off. But the bracelet was so comfortable and fit perfectly. It was lightweight and beautiful - I didn't even notice it. I would highly recommend this bracelet!

I rented this for a New Year's Eve Ball. I loved everything about it... the fit, the color, the fabric. I wore 2 1/2" heels and the length was perfect. I did need to use some fashion tape to keep the front closed. I was able to wear a 1-shoulder convertible bra, which made this dress SO comfortable. I danced the whole night and never felt like I was exposing myself. This dress is much better in person vs. the model - rent it! Side note: I also had a great experience with RTR. This was my 2nd order, and their customer service is top notch. One of my sizes wasn't available at the last minute (literally 2 days before my arrival date) and they made sure I got another dress, regardless of price.

This dress is beautiful. The quality is fantastic and the colors are just as pictured. However, I decided to wear my other dress because of the fit. First, I felt the dress was a bit small. I'm a fairly petite person, and I usually wear a 0, but this dress was tight in the bust and rib cage. It was even a little tight around the butt/hips (the blue under layer). The tightness around the bust was great because I wouldn't have had to wear a bra and my chest was very secure (even for dancing). But I felt like, over several hours and after a meal, it would have been uncomfortable. Also, the dress is SHORT. I'm 5' 4" and the dress was floor-length without shoes! See the picture! I went barefoot just so you could see how short it was! This is a wonderful dress for the right person: short and skinny with a B cup or less.

This dress looks great, exactly like the photos. The fit, however, was a little big (size 2, the smallest size RTR offers). When I first tried it on (without undergarments), it was too big up-top and when I raised my arms, the ladies would pop out. Luckily, I was able to solve the problem with a very padded strapless bra. The bra also added some sexy cleavage! The boning is great and I never felt like the dress was slipping down. The only two cons: it is definitely scratchy under the arms, but well worth it. Also, the zipper is white, which is a little strange, and there's no hook-and-eye closure at the top of the zipper. Otherwise, loved it!
