I felt fierce in this dress!
I wore this for a company holiday party and absolutely loved it. The stamped leather top was amazing and very different from your typical party dress - it's nice to stand out. You can't tell from this picture, but the dress was very flattering to an athletic figure, it was slimming in the right places and gave the appearance of a figure in right places. Pockets are always a plus! Now, for the fit. When everyone says this runs small, they are not kidding. I'm usually the smallest size in everything (5'1"-ish and around 110). I got the 2 and 4 and could barely fit in the 4 (it definitely required a helping hand from the hubby). It's the top that is super narrow, so unless you have a super small rib cage and bosom (I usually wear a 34B), you're going to need to size up quite a bit. I would recommend getting a size up from what you normally wear and the next size up from that. Thel length was nice for me, might run a little short on someone of average height. All in all, I loved this dress. I wish I owned it.

A fun dress for less-formal affair
I wore this to a cocktail-attire function and it was a fun alternative to the hundreds of LBDs in the room. I'm 5'1" with short legs and around 110. I wore the XS and it fit fine - a tad longer than I'd hoped for, but that happens when you're short. The pattern was fun and allowed for a little more colorful eye-makeup. The material is thick, so it hides lumps and bumps, but it is not a replacement for shapewear. I didn't wear any, but I might if I had to do it over again. All in all, a good dress that lets you stand out in the crowd and live a little.

This one was a show-stopper!
This dress was a stunner. I couldn't walk 3 feet without getting a compliment on this dress. The fabric and print are even more gorgeous in person than in the photo. I wore 4" heels and it the dress just swept the floor. It was a bit challenging to walk in at times with all the tulle underneath - it might have been easier if the heels were a tad higher or if I had rented the petite. My husband had to give me a wide berth the whole because the skirt is pretty voluminous and has a slight train. the neckline was very low-cut, I wouldn't have been able to wear a bra if I wanted to. I managed to keep myself in the whole night, but some lingerie tape could be very helpful. The pockets were fantastic - didn't have to carry a purse. The only disappointment I had in this dress was the smell. The person who rented it before me must have danced the night away because the BO smell was pretty strong. I wish RTR would have cleaned it a bit more thoroughly.

Just the right amount of classy and sexy!
This dress was great. I ended up with the 2, although I usually wear a zero. The chest and torso run a little small, but the waist/length would have worked fine on either size. The fabric was gorgeous.

Lots of compliments - beautiful dress and earrings.
Fit beautifully. I'm short and it was a bit long, so I had to use a lot of hem tape to get it to the right length, which was a bit of an undertaking thanks to the cut and the weight of the material, but totally worth it.
