Small in hips, baggy in bust and waist
I'm about a 34"-25-36". This dress just bunched up in the bust and waist, but was super snug in the hips. My backup size fit in the hips much better, but then the dress just looked like it was hanging on me because of the waist up being too big. Too bad, because it was lovely. A very appropriate length. The pattern is printed, not embroidered.

Too small and too hot
I actually ordered three sizes. I'm usually a US size 2, but after reading the reviews that it ran very small I was concerned even the backup US size 4 might be too small. I contacted RTR and they were able to add the US 6 at no cost. However, I tried on all three sizes and there was no discernible difference in fit! There were no tags marking the size, so I couldn't even verify I'd been sent the three different sizes. VERYYY disappointed. The dresses themselves were absolutely beautiful. NOTE: This dress is VERY thick and would be incredibly hot in the summer; would be a more appropriate fall/winter dress.

Couldn't even put it on
This cuff has no hinge, and it's way too small to put on. I couldn't even get it on, and for reference, my watch size is smaller than 6". Because it's metal, it has no give. I couldn't slip it on like a bangle (fingers in first), but I couldn't even go sideways over my wrist bone! Very disappointed. It's beautiful, I'm just not sure who can actually wear it!

Great color
I loved the color of this dress; it's very vibrant. I ordered the 2 (my normal size) and a 4 as the back-up. As other reviewers have said, it fits snug in the hips. The 2 fit perfectly everywhere but the hips for me, where it was a bit snug. Honestly, I probably could have worn it and been fine, but because it was tighter, it looked shorter. Knowing I was going to be raising my arms to hug people at the wedding and dance, I didn't want to worry about tugging it down all night so i went with the 4. Looking at pictures, I should have probably worn the smaller size. While it gave me the room in my hips and the extra bit of length, it looked a little baggy on me at times. Despite this, it was super comfortable and I got tons of compliments from strangers all night! I paired it with a rhinestone bauble and nude peep-toe wedges.

Short
I'd previously rented and worn the 2R in the navy blue and it fit perfect with 3" heels (I'm 5"3'). When I was invited last minute to a charity ball, I decided to go with the black because at least I knew it'd fit and I wouldn't have anything to worry about. However, when the dress came, it was probably 4-5" shorter! This wasn't a problem for me because I had some formal flat studded sandals that worked perfectly (and I was frankly happy to be in flats), but this could have caused major problems for someone else. With my flats, it barely skimmed the floor. I checked the labels to make sure they weren't actually the "short" lengths, and they definitely were labeled as regular. Not sure if this was an error?
