I had high hopes for this dress. Unfortunately, the size 8 ran small and I did not receive an alternate size. I'm still confused about why I didn't get a back up size and have contacted customer service. The dress fit me like a sausage casing and the zipper couldn't make it all the way up. I didn't get a single compliment, where as previous RTR dresses have been major hits. If I'd actually had the right size, I think the dress would have looked good on me. I guess my lesson learned is always have a back up plan. C'est la vie.

I rented this dress for a black tie work event. I picked it because it was modest enought to wear around a bunch of colleagues, with cap sleeves, a somewhat loose top, and no crazy slits or plunging necklines like a lot of black tie gowns. It was fine, but overall I was disappointed. I'm a 36B and the top was overly loose on me. I think it would look better on C/D cup girls. Also, the dress arrived very wrinkled. I ironed the whole thing out and it was wrinkled again within a couple hours. The crepe draped nicely but wrinkled really quickly. I'm a size 8 and 5' 10" and the 12L fit well. I wore it with 3" heels but tripped on the hem a little. 4" heels would have been a better but I don't own heel that high. The bottom half of the dress is VERY clingly. Unless you do crunches every day you will want some Spanx. Overall, a perfect dress for big-busted girls with flat stomachs. Just not for me.

I wore this dress to a September wedding in Sonoma and it was perfect. I'm 5' 10" and wore 2.5" heels and the length was good. I usually wear a size 8, 36B bra, and there was room for me to wear a strapless bra underneath. The top of the dress had a built-in bra and mini corset so you don't have to wear a bra; I just needed to fill in the top a little. This dress is great if you have a slight pear shape. No Spanx required! The layers of silk skim over your middle section.
