Very thick material
This dress was more like a thick curtain than a dress. I didn’t wear it.

Loved this dress!
This was my backup dress and I LOVED it. A small would have been the right size for me, but I could only get a medium, so I had to pin it at the waist. Also the fabric was a bit rough behind the metal circle clasp at the front of the dress, so I applied some anti-chaf which helped.

Comfortable, but a bit short
I think a dress like this should skim the floor, but at 5’5, unless I was wearing kitten heels, it looked silly short. The dress itself was comfortable, but the neckline and straps are somewhat lackluster. It was my backup dress and I didn’t end up wearing it. (The 4 fit like a glove, a 6 would have also been fine)

Dress is comfortable, but runs short
I knew from renting from this designer from RTR in the past that they are hemmed too short, so I got the 6L. I believe that a long dress like this should skim the floor and the 6R looked ridiculous, showing my feet. I’m 5’5 and the 6L with 2 inches heels was perfect. I also used boob tape instead of a bra (I can’t go braless) and that worked well too. Overall very comfortable and I had compliments all night!

Looked cute. VERY tight sleeves!
This dress fit me perfectly, BUT the sleeves have zero stretch. I’m athletic, but it’s not like I have hulk-like arms, and I couldn’t pull the sleeves all the way up. I did wear it, but I could not lift my arms above my head all night (no exaggeration). If you can handle that kind of discomfort, go for it. I got a Medium.

Meh.
It was okay. Length was short and cute. Ruching was fine, but still had lots of room in the stomach area, so looked a bit off. Could have done without the puffed sleeve detail.

Thick material - small
I had high hopes for this one. First it was really hard to get on over my hips (it’s the only way to get it on) and I don’t have big hips. The material is thick and the waist band detail is oddly tight - so it made me look like I had a big stomach pooch (and I have a relatively small waist!). I didn’t wear it.

No stretch
This dress was so tight, I managed to get it on, but didn’t end up using it because I legit couldn’t bend in any direction. Not comfortable. No stretch. The tightness would have been fine if it had some stretch.

So comfortable!!!
I wore the 4L. At 5’5 with a 2inch heel it grazed the floor. I’m glad I went with the 4L over the 4R as it would have been way too short. The dress fit perfectly, has a soft lining and is extremely flattering - plus it has give so it’s still comfortable to sit down in. Highly recommend!!!!!!!!

Sophisticated, but heavy.
The stylist at the store suggested these to go with my dress. They completed the look well. I hardly ever wear earrings and and these were heavy/pulling my ear lobe down - not a deal breaker, but not quite comfortable.

Comfortable and delicate.
This dress was perfect for an outdoor wedding. I wore it with boots and leggings. It was comfortable. My only issue is that the V neck cuts low (I needed the straps/sleeves to be shorter) which made me feel slightly exposed - maybe some double sided tape would have helped.

Everyone loved this dress.
Loved the dress. Got many compliments. I'm 5'5, wore 3 inch heels and the R Length was perfect. This dress is a good balance of form fitted and comfort. It is possible to sit down in this dress. My only complaint - and it is small, is the way that they pressed it (lying flat), the material around the hips stuck out a little further than my hips instead of hanging flat against my body.
