Glamorous, comfortable and hid my baby bump
The dress was perfect for an awards show. I'm pregnant and hilariously the 6L fit 48 hours earlier ... But not on the day of the event. Pregnancy is a trip. If you're tall (I'm 5'8) definitely get the Long. Your date may step on the dress all night but it's worth it. The dress was comfortable, fit like a glove and hid my baby bump. Would rent again.

Awkward Fit. Not comfortable to wear ... unless you're a mannequin
Have longed for this dress for a while. Like the other reviews have noted - the dress runs super small. I'm normally a 4 and the 8 fit - couldn't even get the 6 on. Though the dress may have fit on bottom it was HUGE on top and in the back. Plus the sleeves were impossible. Other reviewers noted the problematic sleeve but I never expected it to be as bad as it was. I also have broad shoulders but those were no match for this dress. Such a shame. It is so beautiful. But impossible to wear comfortably.

Beautiful Color. Great for a Summer Wedding.
This dress was beautiful. Recommend it for women with curves - but maybe on the smaller chested side.

Very Cute Dress but tight zip around the rib cage
Adorable dress. A little tight around the rib cage - recommended for the small chested.

Such a great classic dress
If you're tall - get the long. Fit like a glove. Best for smaller busted women - didn't even bother with a bra. Everyone loved it.

Unique and Lovely
Wore it to a summer wedding and everyone loved it. Didn't need to wear a bra but didn't bother with the corset as it was painful/tricky. I'm small on top so foregoing the corset was not a big deal. The long back was slightly tricky while dancing as it got stuck on my heels but the Reg would have been too short (I'm 5 ft 8).

Wear it with the V Neck in the Front and You'll love it
Wore it to a Bachelorette Party in Vegas and it was Perfect. Luckily the dress is reversible because it looks so much better with the V neck in front as opposed to in back. Also it is SHORT so start loving your legs and rock this dress. Tricky to try on - I scratched my arm with the first go round. But once on the sequins didn't bother me at all.

Amazing color - Fantastic for Curves (but maybe size up)
I loved this dress. You stand out in a crowd and my partner couldn't stop touching my curves in this gown. Plus - it photographs amazingly. But will note that if you have hips this dress has very little give. I'm small on top but have plenty of hips. The six worked well (I'm normally a 4) but was a little tight to sit down in. Plus because the dress has no liner (and is tight) there is definite potential for showing panty lines. Overall I loved it but maybe order a size up just to be safe. Also, RTR overnighted this dress as my original order was far too short. Fabulous customer service. Would definitely recommend the Long for ladies who are around 5'8" and want to wear heels.

Stunner - Compliments All Night - Show those Curves!
RTR overnighted this dress to me as my original order was six inches too short. Great customer service. This dress was absolutely stunning on and showed plenty of curves. Very comfortable to wear. If you are smaller in the bust definitely wear a strapless/padded bra to fill out the cups. Also the Long was great for wearing heels (I'm 5'8'' sans footwear). If you don't have hips try ordering a size down. Wore this in Vegas for a Wedding and people were stopping me all night to say how beautiful the dress was.

Too short for taller than 5ft 6in
The dress is not made for tall women. I normally wear a 4 or 6. The Medium fit beautifully ... except that the bottom of the dress didn't hit my ankles! Far too short. And that was when I was flat footed. It's a hot number but only made for women far under 5ft. 6in (maybe 5ft 5in). Tall ladies - opt for a different gown.
