I fell in love with this dress. I rented it for my brother's graduation and ended up wearing it all day between the event and awards and dinner. The fabric is lightweight, which was nice for a sunny, spring day. It also meant that even though I usually stay away from midi length dresses, it was so light and moved so well, you barely noticed the length. And the pockets!! This a great day dress and I wish I could have kept it forever.

I had initially chose the 6 based on reviews, but grabbed the 4 as a back up and I'm glad I did! As a short person, the 6 zipped up well but was too long and had a lot of excess fabric that bunches up in all the wrong places. I took a chance on the 4 and it fit so much better, even in the arms, which was strange. I got a lot of compliments and felt great. And pockets on a dress never hurts!

I was so happy when RTR started carrying Issa. I loved this dress on Kate and when I had a work party come up this winter I figured it was the perfect excuse to give it try. I agree with other reviewers that this is defiantly a dress for colder months, between the long sleeves and fabric. Super easy to wrap. I did throw some shapewear on underneath though, just to smooth out the middle. I might even rent it again for a holiday party!

The model doesn't do this dress justice! I'm gald a I saw the user photos and reviews because it really is a fantastic emerald green (my favorite color) that I wore to a wedding in late June. The fabric is a raw silk and the gold zipper really gives it a sexy edge. Also, the interior straps mean that this is first strapless dress I didn't have to worry about tugging on all night long. I deducted a star, though, only in that we were in a massive heat wave and the fabric is not that breathable.

I have never gotten so many compliments on a dress in my life. I wore this to a wedding this weekend and it felt great, flowly and loose but a solid structure. I ordered an XS and a S, ended up wearing the S because the XS felt tighter under my arm.

I had a fall wedding to attend and this fit the occasion perfectly. The other reviews are correct, if you have any kind of hip, you should go a size up. I ordered the 4, but I couldn't even get it past my hips. The 6 fit well on my hips and waist and was a little big up top, but nothing that made me worry I would have some kind of "slip". The layers are more feathered then the picture gives off, so if you worry about any kind of horizontal stripes, I would skip this one.
