I wore this to a summer wedding, and gussied it up with some simple gold jewelry. I am petite (5'2") but with a slightly larger build on top (32D) so I sized up to a 2. The 0 was a little bit snug on top, which defeated the flowy look of the dress. As a short person, this dress worked for me length-wise, which I normally can't rent online due to the excessively long hems. This dress just graced the floor with only 2 1/2 in heels, so I was comfortable all night and not tripping over myself. Obviously, it normally sits higher up if you are taller. I got a lot of compliments on the dress and it was very comfortable, and I got to wear a normal bra (racerback) which was great.

This was my first RTR experience. My only complaint is that they forgot to ship me the extra size, which was a 4. The dress is true to size, and recommends sizing up as a backup. I would have preferred the 4 because it would have sat more loosely like on the model. I am petite, but with a more athletic rather than slender build- I'm also a little bustier on top. For those reasons, the 2 was tight fitting on top and a little snug around my hips, so there was a little bunching in the slip. This is because the shift is not supposed to be form fitting, and thus is not designed to hug all your curves. I think I was the only one who noticed- the bunching didn't bulk, I could just see some pleats underneath the sheer material. But this could only be seen in bright light (e.g. the bathroom). Despite the tight fit, the dress was otherwise extremely comfortable. I got SO many compliments, and I mean from EVERYONE: friends, the catering staff, bartenders. I even had several random strangers at the event literally interrupt my conversation with other people to tell me they loved the dress. The dress really stood out in its style and color. I loved it, I only wish I had the bigger size. The length on me hit just above the knee, but I'm very short, so tall ladies can certainly get away with wearing this at a classy affair. The sleeves add the perfect level of sophistication, while the sheer material keeps it sexy but elegant. Just a lovely dress overall.
