This is a great dress! It's well cut and I received a bunch of compliments. The material is on the heavier side, which made it a little hot at a 99-degree wedding, but I loved it anyway. The color is more emerald than it looks in the RtR picture, which I think is nicer. The straps and waist were a little roomy on my shorter torso, but not so much that it looked weird. Even the regular length was long on me and people were stepping on it on the dance floor. I recommend wearing the highest heels you're comfortable in if you're 5'4" or under. Overall, I had a great time in this dress!

PROS: This dress is festive and sophisticated. The cut is so dramatic and feminine, but also really forgiving and flattering. It makes a subtle swishing sound when you move, too. I wore it to a black-tie wedding and not only felt like royalty but was comfortable and happy all night. CONS: The top of the dress was a little uneven, and there were delivery issues with the courier service RTR uses in NYC. The dress arrived 24 hours late, so we were down to the wire in terms of getting it delivered in time for the event. Luckily, customer service saved the day; the two women I spoke with, Rachel and Jessica, were so sweet and committed to getting the dress delivered that it wound up being fine. ALSO: I visited the SoHo showroom to find this dress and highly recommend that to those in NYC—amazing to be able to take out so much of the guesswork.
