Why is everything short these days???
If you are tall or have a longer torso, don't bother.

Cute and soft
Continue to be frustrated by short sweaters. They look longer and the length in the description is longer than it is when I get them. This one is no different.

It fits great, even for a long waisted torso. I wish it had been a tiny bit tighter but know if I sized down it would be too tight.

Not for the long waisted!
As a long-waisted gal, I've had dresses become empire waist style and I look super cute. This is not one of those dresses. I looked like a blue whale in her least flattering outfit. Couldn't raid it off quickly enough

Awful
How can a pair of pants be too big and too small at the same time. I ordered up because I am between sizes. The waist was so tight yet 3 sizes to big everywhere else.

Such a fun dress
I read the straps were long but you can shorten them using the button holes on the straps. It does run a bit large, so I would probably have gone down one size. Had so many complements.

not for women without hips
I am a pretty straight up and down person, so there was visible room in the hips. Like a lot of room. It's beautiful though, the fabric is not breathable so if you are wearing it in the heat, prepare to sweat. Did not wear.

I ordered the 14WR and it was slightly too big, though i believe the 12 would be too small. It's beautiful and a heavy rich fabric. did not wear

The dress arrived and looked good though a bit worn. Strings hanging and some of the embellishments missing. On the hanger it looked fine but when I put it on, I noticed there was a rip on the seem where the left sleeve met the bodice. Even without the rip I would not have worn it due to the condition. It was clearly a beautiful dress, but not after multiple rentals.I contacted RTR and heard back initially but have not received any follow-up regarding resolution. I did rent a different dress also and it was beautiful and fit perfectly.

Wore this to a black tie event in Las Vegas and paired it with the Art Deco Cuff and the Deco necklace. The fit was perfect and with the accesories the look was a knockout. Can't say how many people asked where I got everything. Imagine their surprise when they found out everything was rented.
