Very pretty! More peach and less pink, runs small
I really like this dress! I'm 5'6" and 125 pounds, 35-27-38 and typically wear a size small in dresses. I purchased the small on this dress-- it's a bit snug but I think I can pull it off as long as I don't fully zip the back. it fits me well in the hips and the waist, just a little tight in the shoulders and upper back. I'd say size up if in doubt/ you have a broader back.

Beautiful, true to size dress! (Careful with your bra though).
I absolutely loved this dress, and I might like to buy it when it goes on sale. It fit me like a glove (I'm 5'6.5", 125 pounds, slender hourglass figure). The colors are so beautifully placed and it is elegant without being aggressive. Please note for busty ladies-- it's a little tricky to wear a bra with this as it shows through the deep armpit hole on the right side. if you can get away with not wearing a bra that's probably ideal-- for me as a 32DD it was not an option. So I wore a dark colored bra and used fashion tape to try and stick it. Oh also, I would advise against wearing this dress to dance in, as the bottom doesn't give you much room to take steps. Very elegant for a gala though!

Beautiful golden dress
I love this dress! I'm usually between 2-4, and the 2 fit me like a glove. It was snug enough that I didn't have to wear a bra. Very twirly fun dress.:)

Pretty pink dress
Beautiful dress. I didn't end up wearing it because it was too small with a bra but too big without it. I think this is the endless challenge of strapless dresses-- they have to fit you like a glove! The waist on this one sat too high on me. . . maybe for someone with longer legs to torso proportion. For reference, I'm 5'6", 123 pounds, 34" 27" 37", with a long torso. The size I got that was closest to fit was a 2.

Didn't wear
Didn't quite work for me-- the yellow is a little on the chartreuse side, and clashed with my skin. I'm in between a 2 and a 4 and the 4 was too big, so I would say go for your regular size or size down if in between sizes. However, I know everyone carries their weight differently, so it depends on proportions. I have a small ribcage/ waist, and this was very roomy there for me.

Beautiful dress, not for ladies with long torsos
This was a very sweet dress; my boyfriend described it as a "girl next door" dress. It was pretty, tasteful, and just a little bit sexy. Low cut neck line, you'll need a plunge bra. The challenge I had with it was it was too short and too wide for my torso. I'm 5'6 with a longer torso. They didn't have the size down (2) available, but I'm afraid the 2 might have been too tight on the shoulder. Because of this problem, I wouldn't order it again. But lovely dress, for someone with a shorter torso!

Twirly, pretty dress
I loved this dress, and would have worn it but for the awkward bust situation! My dimensions are 34-26-38, and I rented a 2 for this dress as I read that it ran a little large. (I'm between 4-2, typically.) The waist felt just a tad snug but was quite manageable, and figure flattering. This dress runs so low you cannot wear a bra with it. It also is loose at the top (usually being a 32DD I fill out the top okay) and for this dress if I leaned over my boobs would come dangerously close to popping out. I imagine some very clever fashion tape/nipple stick ons would have made it work, but I was wearing this to a wedding where I'd be dancing and I didn't want to risk flashing some of the guests. If I could redo I would get the dress in size 4, then wear a tank top underneath it to cover some of that plunging/loose neckline. So: if you are a dress tape magician/not worried about boob slippage I recommend that you go down a size, and if you are decently endowed and don't want to risk the girls popping out, I recommend that you stay true to size and use a tank top underneath the dress to provide some boob safety.:)

Beautiful, bright pink dress
What a lovely dress! Only problem for me was it was too big. I am usually between a 4 and a 2, but the reviews said it ran small so I went with the 2. Sadly, it is still too big for me on the waist/torso area, and a little on the long side (although a good pair of heels would take care of that.) I didn't think to order a 0 due to that being a size I very rarely wear, but it would have been the right choice for me for this dress. However, for someone with a thicker waist/broader ribcage, this might work a little better. The fabric is thick, luxurious and lovely, although more bright pink than shown on the photo. Hopefully someday RTR starts allowing you to rent three sizes at once, because I've found that I am anywhere between a 0-6 in their clothes, depending on the dress!

Pretty dress-- too short unless you wear pants or are a college student.
I bought this on sale from RTR. Small is my usual size. I would have been better served by the medium, however. . . I can't wear this dress outside! Since it was on sale, there are no returns or exchanges, and I couldn't acquire a size which would fit. I think if I were in a sorority in LA I would have some fun with it. . otherwise, is sadly unwearable for me. Beautiful design, though!

Sassy jumpsuit
So cute. Ordered a 4 and a 2 (usually I'm one or the other) but it was too tight on the crotch even in the four and I couldn't sit down. Ended up sending it back and trying to find something in my own closet to wear that night.:(

Beautiful, bright pink dress
I LOVED this dress, but could not wear it because it would not stay up. It was my back up dress for a wedding, and I wanted to wear it because the other one was uncomfortable, but no matter what fashion tape or strapless bra I tried with it, it was too precarious to go out in. The fabric was thick and heavy, which is probably unideal for a strapless dress, considering the weight of gravity. I ended up wearing the Wild River Dress, which was uncomfortable but at least stayed on. Such a shame, because I felt like a princess in this dress!
