I'm only 5'1" and this dress was obscenely short for me.
I typically like to wear very short dresses with tall heels - but there was no way I could wear this dress to a wedding. If I bent over even slightly, you could see my cheeks! Way too short, IMO. Cute fabric, nice cut and fit - but just not appropriate for the occassion.

Incredibly comfortable and stylish!!
This dress was a huge hit! The fit was phenomenal. In formal dresses, I usually have to go up a size or two to fit the bust line and tummy areas - this dress was SO stretchy and comfy, I could wear my normal size 6! The arms were quite skinny but fit me perfectly (there are actually hidden zippers at the wrists to help, in case you have larger arms!). I also couldn't tell from anyone else's reviews that there was a very tasteful split up the side/front -It was a nice surprise, and made the dress even more flattering! The fabric is great (not too thick!) and the sparkle gives it that extra fun factor! The back is stunning and you CAN wear a regular bra with this! (just make sure the straps don't come in too close in the back). There's an underskirt to this dress too that is short and sucks you in - you truly would not even have to wear spanx with this one, if you'd rather forgo those. I am 5'1" and with 4" heels, the length was perfect - skimmed the floor but not so long that I would trip. It was a beautiful dress and one I would highly recommend to those looking for a long sleeve option.

Very sheer and runs small, but super cute!
I ended up not being able to attend the occasion (a Gatsby-themed bridal shower). It would have been a perfect dress! Sadly, the ice storm here in the south prevented me from traveling. But, the dress is great - just beware that it's VERY see through (you'll need spanx and/or slip underneath) and it is truly a short dress. I'm only 5'1" and with my 3" heels, it was quite short on me. I wear a 6 in regular clothes and the 8 in this was just right (snug fitting, but a 10 would have been way too big).

If you plan to order more than 2 times this year, get the PRO pack!
I'm so happy I opted for this - I've ordered 4 items and never had to pay shipping or insurance on any of them. It's only February,and I've already gotten my money's worth this year. Great idea!

Fun and colorful for a navy dress!
I attended a bridal shower and had a very plain, navy JCrew dress - it needed a good, colorful statement necklace to dress it up. This necklace worked perfectly! It's definitely a big piece - I'm a short, petite person, so it was a little overwhelming on me, but I honestly didn't mind. I thought it totally made the outfit :) It is a tad heavy, so beware. Overall, a fun, flirty necklace perfect for the occasion.

Classic, comfortable and GREAT in pictures!
The fit of this dress definitely runs on the larger side. I wear a 6 in 'street clothes' but rarely EVER anything smaller than an 8 in formal dresses. The 8 in this was very large and loose on me. I'm glad I ordered the 6P for my backup. The length was PERFECT - I'm 5'1" and I wore 3" heels. And the fit was incredible! I wore a strapless bra (I tend to HATE strapless bras b/c they fall constantly) - but this dress was snug enough on top that it held it all in - and the waist was just fitted enough that I was able to add a stretch beaded belt for a little "bling." I had SO many compliments all night! Thank you RTR for the perfect dress!

Very stretchy - beautifully made!
This was my backup dress; I chose to wear my original pick b/c this one was a little too revealing for the event - however, it's a beautiful gown! I'm busty (36-D) and short with some curves in the hip/tummy area - I typically wear a size 6 in street clothes, but because of the comments that I read, I decided to order up to an 8Petite. The length was PERFECT for someone my height (I'm 5'1") in 2-3" heels... anything taller than that, it would probably be too short. The quality is amazing - it's a very form fitting dress and truly sucks everything in!! I felt so skinny in it! The girls were definitely on display though - so if you are bustier than a C-cup, I would beware of that.
