Beautiful Lace Dress
I rented this dress for my daughter's baptism. It was perfect for the occasion! It runs small. The lining on the 8 didn't lie flat at the bottom of the skirt.

Fun and Flirty Dress
The dress fit well, and I went with the smaller size. It could have been tighter in the chest (I didn't wear a bra), but overall I was very happy! I wore this to a company Christmas party and got lots of compliments.

Gorgeous full-length gown
I'm 5'6" and ended up ordering a 4L and 6R due to availability. You want the top to be fitted, so I wore the 4L even though it was a bit too long on me. I wore my tallest platform heels and it worked out. This is a stunning gown in person! I felt beautiful all night, and I'm so glad I chose a long gown. You only get so many opportunities to wear one!

Didn't Wear
I was hoping this would be appropriate for a summer date night with my husband, but it read as way too prom-y or bridesmaid-y to wear.

Easy, Comfy Dress
This dress runs large. I am usually a 2 or 4, and had no problem wearing the 0. It was a little shorter than expected on my 5'6" frame, but it was great for a night out with my husband.

Perfect Lightweight Dress
If I could afford to buy this dress, I would! The material is lightweight, and the roomy fit kept me cool while sightseeing on vacation. I wore it with flats for day and switched to wedges for a night out. I could have sized down, but no other sizes were available.

Classy Necklace
This necklace is less blue, much more gray in person. It's also extremely heavy! Not a bad thing, I was just shocked when I pulled it out of the box. I paired it with this RTR navy lace dress for a date, and also with a black tank and heels for a more casual day. Loved it!

Not Right for Day
My chosen dress wasn't available in my backup size, so the RTR stylists sent me this one as well. It was very pretty, but not quite right for my daughter's baptism.

Not my style.
The dress I originally ordered was not available in two sizes, so the RTR stylist sent this one as well. It was a cute dress and fit well, but it wasn't the style I was going for for my daughter's baptism.

Fashionable, conservative dress
I wore this dress to my daughter's baptism. It was perfect for a more formal, daytime affair. I felt fashionable and put together, despite having the flu! I received many compliments. I paired the dress with nude pumps.

Loved the Color!
This dress was perfect for a night out in Las Vegas. It is a wonderful, thick fabric that sucks everything in and is surprisingly comfortable! I had no problem wearing a strapless bra underneath. It was shorter than I'm used to, but I fit right in.

"Shiny!"
I wore this dress for a night out in Las Vegas. I ordered a 0, as it appeared to run large. I'm glad I did! It fit very well, although the arm holes were a bit snug with the sequins. I got plenty of attention in this dress, even though it wasn't super short / tight / revealing. I loved it!

Fun, classy dress perfect for a bridal shower!
I rented this dress for a bridal shower I cohosted. It was perfect for the daytime event! I ordered a 2 and a 4, unsure of which would fit best. The 2 was a little tight, but was in much better shape than the 4 so I went with it. I also wore a pink cardigan for parts of the shower to be a little more conservative. It was quite short, although I do have long legs.

Conservative yet modern, perfect for a daytime event!
I'm nursing, and at the time of this review was 5'6", 128 pounds, and wore a 30F. I loved this dress--it was perfect for the daytime bridal shower I hosted for a dear friend. I loved the modern print, and the conservative, extremely flattering cut of the dress. I received so many compliments! I wish I had ordered a 2 and a 4 rather than a 4 and a 6; I am not sure a 2 would have fit my chest, but the dress was too large on bottom.

Great Dress!
I was so worried about the 6 fitting, since there wasn't a backup size available. I wore this six months after having a baby; I'm 5'6", and around 140 pounds. The 6 was great, and I probably could have worn a 4! It was fine with my 32H chest, too {I still nurse my baby}. Loved it!
