Flattering on a curvy figure
I'm 5'2" and the length was perfect with 3" heels. The dress was even prettier in person than the photos did it justice. There was enough support in the chest that I didn't have to wear a bra - which is a rarity for me!

Pretty dress - runs small - delicate overlay
This dress runs small all over. I sized up for my extra and it was still too tight, especially in the armholes. I don't recommend this dress for curvy women. I am 5'2" and it was still very short. There was also significant wear and tear on the dress to the point there were silver dollar sized holes throughout the overlay and under the arms. I called RTR to get a new style overnighted but it was two days before NYE and they were out of every dress in my size. I bought some new spanx and enjoyed the night despite my discomfort.

Dress it up or down
I wore this to my graduation from graduate school. The ceremony started at noon and I dressed it up with nice jewelry and black pumps. After the reception I dressed it down by changing my jewelry and switched to boots. I received compliments both ways. The sleeves were a little awkward because I have short arms. I ordered the 10 and 12 but the 12 swallowed me. I was pleasantly surprised how well the 10 fit. The fabric is thick and the cutout pattern on the front is just the right amount of detail.

Short but comfortable
I'm only 5'2" and I thought it was short when I would sit down. Other than that it was a very comfortable shift dress. I normally wear a 10 or 12 dress size and the Large fit great.

Perfect dress for my bridesmaid luncheon.
Wore this to my bridesmaid luncheon the day before my wedding. It rode down a little bit in the front showing my bra but it was nothing a little fashion tape couldn't fix. I am normally a size 10, but was excited that the 8 fit perfect so it runs a little large.

Perfect for an outdoor summer wedding
I rented both the 10 and 12. Both fit fine but I ended up wearing the size 10 because the fabric on the 12 looked worn and faded. Both sizes were very short and the arm holes were tight, but it was perfect for an outdoor summer wedding and I got many compliments.

Wore with a witches hat as a Halloween costume
The sleeves were a little tight, but other than that the dress fit true to size. Wore it with a witches hat and striped tights as a Halloween costume.

Perfect for a summer wedding!
I ordered the large and the medium as my backup and ended up wearing the Medium sized slip with the Large size overlay. I liked the way it gave me more shape underneath the overlay. It was short, especially while on the dance floor, but it didn't bother me too much since I'm only 5'2". Might be too short for people with longer legs though.

By far, my favorite RTR dress!
This was perfect for a night out in Vegas! It was comfortable and eye-catching, and I received compliments from random strangers throughout the night. It fit in all the right places, not too short or tight anywhere. May have been able to wear the size down but I didn't order a back up size. Pictures don't do it justice, this is a must rent.

Perfect for a wedding, but warning to anyone below 5'4"
I wore this to a Charleston black tie wedding in April. It was different from everyone else's dresses and I received many compliments. However, the dress runs VERY LONG and the elastic at the top of the dress was very stretched out creating a gaping effect that unfortunately could not be fixed with fashion tape. I understand that I am relatively short but I wore 4" heels and still had problems with my heel somehow getting caught on the back, and I had to hold it up to walk comfortably in it. I tried using double-sided hem tape to shorten the length, but it did not successfully stick to the sheer fabric. I'm sure other ladies who have worn it before had the same issue with the length, because there were several signs of tatters and mending along the bottom. Overall it truly is a beautiful dress and despite my issues, I enjoyed wearing it. Sorry if the picture isn't the best quality but it was the best one I had that showed the full dress.

Perfect fit! Wish I owned this dress!
A lot of the reviews say it is very short, but since I am only 5'2" it hit me at the perfect length, about 4" above my knee. If my legs were any longer it probably would have been borderline too short. The dress fit perfect, and I got so many compliments on it while at my event!
