Fun little piece
I love the swinging action. The hips are nice and wide. They would easily accommodate a 4-5 inch difference between waist and hip. Size small would fit a 27-28 inches waist at most.

I took this on vacation and it did what it needed. It fits a lot inside and is perfect for shopping.

Flirty
I wore this twice: once for my anniversary and the second time to Mama's Fish House in Maui. It hugs the curves at top and flares just enough to look pretty. It's festive, but not in tourist trap way. *cough*

Cool looking
They weren't too heavy or uncomfortable. At the courthouse, the officiant said they were gorgeous. I might think about renting or buying again.

Elegant
I didn't pay attention to it during the wedding, but I love how well it was made. You can adjust the beads in a nice formation. I paired it with a birdcage veil.

Gorgeous
I paired it with a white bridal belt. I wore it both for the rehearsal dinner and the banquet dinner. With or without a corset, it was lovely.

Good for tall frames
The fit was better for taller people. I'm petite with a short torso, so the shoulders kept falling down. People thought it was gorgeous though. I love the texture of the lace.

Pretty
It's a bit itchy with the tulle. Otherwise, it's a great color and fluffs up nicely. I suggest this if you don't mind having a heavily structured dress.

Very flattering
I love how it conforms to the body and flares at the bottom. It doesn't bunch up and is the right length.

Flutter like a butterfly
I like the color and the way the sleeves flutter. It's very comfortable and modest.

Cute
My fashionable boss said "what a pretty dress!" as she carried her giant Chanel bag. I usually shy away from cotton weave dresses because ironing them is a hassle. Thankfully, RTR takes care of all of that. Size 6 fits a 38 inch bust. It fits a pear shape (as usual) but if it's too big at the bottom, a waist belt looks fine.

Fits very well due to the way it stretches
It's very flattering. I wore this for work and a brunch in Neiman Marcus in San Francisco. You know it's high quality when the Chanel and Hermes sales people trip over themselves to help you. ;)

Better for those matching the size chart
If you have a 38 inch or more bust, I suggest you size up. Usually, I can get away with it with a wrap bodice, but this has barely any give, even when I unhooked it. Otherwise, it's rather pretty.

Pretty
It's gorgeous. However, if you want to wear it to work, I suggest a slip to cover up cleavage and that awkward opening in front of the legs. I had to adjust the opening so my underwear wouldn't show when I sat down.

Cute but too long for 5'2"
I didn't wear it because it was long. This is best for 5'7" and up, I think.

Emphasizes waist nicely
This is perfect for people with hourglass figures. It's rare that I don't have to add a belt to a dress. The fabric is a little scratchy, but not unbearable.

Lovely dress for spring
It's the right length to use for work. Of course, I covered up my arms with a wrap cardigan and a belt. I suggest that if you have a bust over 38 inches that you go up to a size 8.

Fancy enough for a Celebrity Spa office party
I love the detailing. My coworkers are very fashionable and this blended in perfectly at the office party. Size 8 would fit a 38 bust, but would be too big for a 26 waist. I ended up going with the 6 and there was enough stretch to put it over my bust.

Walking along the boardwalk looking pretty.
This romper turns heads. If you are an hourglass with a 38 inch bust and hip, medium is a good size. Just belt it at your waist and voila! The romper came without a belt, but RTR resolved it quickly by offering me a discount.

San Diego was beautiful. :)
If you are an hourglass figure, the waist will be large and bunch up when you try to belt it. This dress would be best as a bodycon dress. If you don't like tight dresses, I suggest you look for a slinky kind instead.

Comfortable
It's very cute and I am wearing it for my birthday. I suggest just slipping the dress on, since the zipper gets stuck. I have 38-26-38 inch measurements. The size 4 fits well with enough stretch left.

Flimsy prongs
It's gorgeous. I will give you that. However, it came to me with two loose stones. If I weren't an amateur beader with jewelry tools, I would be very upset. The prongs are flimsier than sterling silver.
