Beautiful dress but beware: if you have a large chest or broad shoulders, unfortunately this is not the dress for you. Didn't end up wearing because of this.

Dress is form fitting but smooths and shapes the body nicely so you won't need spanx. For ladies with a bust bigger than DD, size up. Very beautiful pattern and high quality fabric.

I rented this dress for a recital and it was GORGEOUS. It met all my expectations! After reading extensive reviews, I was relieved it fit. I would have ordered the 12R had it been available, but I ordered the 8R and 10R, and the 10R still fit great!! As many other people have noted, it is VERY busty. I have a full bust so it looked very scandalous until I added a panel of fabric to cover up some of my cleavage. If this is a concern of yours, my advice would be to size up. If you size up, you should have enough fabric in the chest area to work with and pin for modesty. If you size down it will be a tighter fit in the bust, which is fine as long as you’re comfortable with a full display of cleavage. I included pictures of the dress with and without the panel for reference. As for the bra situation, depending on the way the dress sits on your back/type of bra you have, you may or may not be able to wear a bra. There are two issues you might have: 1, the strap showing in the open back, or 2, the cups showing in the front. I was lucky that dress covered my back in a way that allowed me to wear a bra without it being noticeable. You may have to explore some options between going no bra, using tape, finding a specific bra, etc. If you are self conscious about your tummy or anything below the upper body, this dress will hide these insecurities and give you a flowy hourglass appearance. As far as length, front of the dress is a bit shorter than the back, which has a bit of a train, so I wore flats. I’d say get Long option if you are planning on wearing heels and over 5ft6in. Overall, my first experience with RTR was a pleasure. Customer service was so helpful. I was even able to switch delivery addresses without a hitch last minute. Rent this dress!! You will get non-stop compliments!!
