Great event, even without the RTR dress.

I ordered a 4, my usual size, and RTR didn't have a 2 available. When the 4 arrived, it was huge! I could have gone with a 0, I think, and I'm definitely not a size 0. I was sad that I didn't end up wearing it because I loved the color and the style, but it was way too big. Definitely size down on this one.

Lots of compliments at a black tie wedding reception, including "Audrey Hepburn" (my favorite).

Fits true to size, but beware - the waist is unforgiving. The beaded/embellished waistband has no give to it. so while it fit me, it was snug and itched a little bit. The side zipper was hard to get up through the waistband but then was fine. I am small chested (34 almost A), so the lack of a bra didn't bother me, but if you need support, you'll need to use something special, because the back does not lend itself to a bra. I loved this dress and would recommend it.

Tons of compliments from random strangers!

I rented this for an evening fundraising party held in a garden, and I loved this dress. It was extremely comfortable and flattering, the colors were amazing, and it even had pockets! My only problem with the dress was that the cut of the arms meant that there was a little extra, ahem, roll of flesh in the front where the dress dipped towards the armpit. No big deal but *I* noticed it - my husband said he didn't until I pointed it out. I would recommend this dress for almost any body type, but be warned that if you have a little bulge between your bra strap and your arm, it will show.

Tons of compliments on this dress.

I ordered the 4 and the 6 but didn't even bother trying on the 6 as the 4 fit very well. I had to wear a strapless bra, but I didn't have to special order it or anything, as a regular one fit just fine under the dress. You do need to wear one, though, as the material is somewhat thin. The dress is a beautiful color and very dramatic. My only complaint was that it arrived fairly wrinkled. That was an easy fix, though, as I just stuck it in the bathroom while I took a hot shower and most of the wrinkles steamed out. My husband loved this dress, I loved this dress, my Facebook friends loved it as they showered me with much appreciated compliments. It was just what I was looking for - a wow factor that I didn't own. Thanks, RTR! One small warning - the low side of the neckline fits close, as it should so that it doesn't gap, but if you have, ahem, excess skin, it may cut in there.

Tons of compliments on the whole ensemble!

These earrings were perfect for the dress. They were "blingy" without being ostentatious and they were lightweight so they didn't feel like they were dragging on my ears all night.

Lovely but heavy.

These were great for my night out but very heavy on the earlobes.

Loved this dress. Extremely comfortable for dancing. Got huge rave reviews!

I got the highest compliment ever in this dress - my fashion forward friend wanted to borrow it! It was very comfortable although I would have liked for it to be a little more form fitting. I got a size 4 and maybe I could have worn a 2 but I thought that would be pushing my luck. I'm 5'2", 125 lbs., and I thought the dress was very flattering. The dress looks a little shiny in the photos, but that may be due to flash photo - it didn't feel that "blingy" when I had it on.
