Didn't wear
I received this as a replacement dress when one of the ones I ordered wasn't available last minute. I actually really liked the cut, and one size up, the wrap accommodated my huge boobs. The problems were 1. If you look at the neckline, you can see that the white lining sticks out and I couldn't make that stop, 2. I didn't love the color and pattern, and 3. It didn't feel right for the wedding I was going to. Didn't wear.

Way too long for me
I got this as a replacement dress when one of the ones I ordered wasn't available. The only size available was a 16, and usually I'm a 12-14, but I took a chance. It actually fit really well up top on my huge boobs, but was just way too long and the asymmetrical hem just didn't work on me. Pretty colors and patterns, though. Didn't end up wearing.

Liked but didn't wear
I ordered 2 sizes of this dress (2X and 3X) based on other reviews. At the last minute, RTR let me know the 2X would be unavailable, so the picture is of the 3X. It fit pretty well, if perhaps a bit loose on the bottom half. I don't think the 2X would've worked with my boobs. For reference, in most clothes, I'm a L-XL. Almost wore it, but went with a stretchier, more comfortable option.

The Yearning Ruffle Midi Dress
La Maison Talulah
Size Worn: NONE
Usual Size: 12

Pretty and comfortable
I ended up receiving 4 dresses (I got to choose 2 replacements when one size of a different dress was unavailable last minute) and this was the one I ended up wearing. It was comfortable and flattering, and the best part is that it covered my upper arms (my least favorite body part) without looking matronly or making my shoulders look even broader. I'm usually an XL and the 0X fit fine. I have big boobs so I usually choose to size up just in case.

A little worn out
I was hugely thankful for RTR's policy of sending you a replacement last minute because a shipping issue meant I left town before my package arrived. RTR sent me this dress and another (the one I had originally ordered wasn't available) to the hotel I was staying at. I picked this one because I loved this style, but I have to say the quality of the actual garment was lower than usual. I think the one I wore had been worn A LOT. The hook and eye were barely hanging on, and one part ended up falling off at some point. There was a little white stain under one arm that looked like it might have been paint and didn't come out with a shout wipe, but it wasn't really noticeable. The fabric also didn't hold its shape like other Jay Godfrey dresses I've worn, and the rubbery strip at the top kept exposing itself. All things considered, though, I still loved the way the dress looked, I just think maybe the one I wore needs to be retired.

Fantastic dress!
I cannot recommend this dress enough for curvy ladies, especially those with a large chest. I agonized over which size to wear because the 10 and 12 both fit, but I ended up going with the 12 for comfort, and I’m glad I did. I’m 5’4” and the regular length was perfect with 5” heels. I wore it to a black tie wedding, and got so many compliments. The back was a big hit!
