Such a great dress
I would buy this dress in a heartbeat if I went anywhere fancy on a regular basis. It was so fantastic. Really classy and elegant, fit like a glove and was perfect for a pregnant lady. I was either 17 or 18 weeks pregnant with my second baby when I wore this dress. It was nice and stretchy, heavy fabric without being hot, and super comfortable to wear. I love, love, love this dress and highly recommend it!

Overall solid dress
Overall, this was a really solid dress. I am 5'6" and normally 135 lbs. I was 33 weeks pregnant and 159 lbs at the time I wore the dress. I got a ton of compliments on it. I honestly felt like the fabric looked a little cheap BUT apparently it didn't look that way to others as I was complimented all evening. It was stretchy and comfortable, which was nice. I danced all night long in it very comfortably. There are no zippers, you do have to pull it over your head so just keep that in mind for hair and make up purposes. Since it's fitted, floor length and I'm quite pregnant, it did take a little assistance from my mom to get it over my head without messing up my hair and makeup haha. I wore the large long and it was still the tiniest bit short but when I say short I mean that when I started the evening in heels, it was shorter than I prefer. When I switched to flats, it was exactly floor length. I think if I hadn't been pregnant the reg length would have worked but the bump takes up some of the length.

Pretty dress just not on me
I loved this dress in the picture but it just didn't lay correctly on me. I wore the 6, which fit appropriately, however, the straps kept sliding off of my shoulders and the part of the dress that connected to the straps puckered. It didn't lay right on my chest. Maybe if I was more flat chested, it would have looked better. The lining also did weird things on the top half of my dress. It just wasn't quite right. I think on a different body type, it would be perfect. It just didn't flatter me. Everything else was great. Like I said, the dress itself was very pretty so I would recommend trying it.

Very Beautiful
This was my first RTR experience and I'm glad I used it. I had a baby a year ago and this is my first formal event since having him. I hadn't tried on any kind of formal dress since prior to being pregnant and didn't want to spend the money on a new dress that I most likely wouldn't wear again. Pre-baby I wore a 6 so I did a 6 and an 8 as a backup. I wound up wearing the 8. The 6 fit better in the top but was just a little too tight around the rib cage. I would have preferred to wear the 6 and probably could have without issue but went for the 8 instead. The 8 was better in the rib cage but was definitely baggier on top, hence why I would have preferred the 6. I didn't have to wear a bra with it which was nice as the low V in the back would have shown a bra. I paired with strappy black heels and some Kendra earrings/bracelet. Overall, I'd rent again. It has pockets too, I'm a sucker for pockets!
