Color that packs a punch!
Lovely dress and wonderful fit. As always, is short almost on any height. The color is very bright pink and packs a punch! I would recommend wearing with a statement necklace.

Fabulous color, so light and breezy!
This dress was perfect for a day at the races. I wore this to a Steeplechase and the lightness of the fabric made it comfortable for the entire day. I was channeling Marilyn Monroe a few times when the wind caught the skirt! I'm 5'6 and long waisted and this hit me right at the knees. If you are large busted, get your backup a size bigger, as the fabric does not stretch. I chose the 6 because the fit would be better for an entire day, better too loose than too tight.

Sparkly and comfortable
I wore this for an evening fundraiser and this was perfect. The blue is dark and a great option to black. The sparkle was just enough without being overwhelming. The sleeves worked for the in between spring day to evening weather and, while short, not scandalous when sitting! Definitely size up it you have hips or wider shoulders.

Appropriate for a mature look
The dress is a shift and fits like one. There is no definition to the waist, so good if you have a middle you want to cover up. The lace doesn't stretch so I ended up having to size up for it to be comfortable around my shoulders. The extra size gave a bit more length, which was nice, since this is a very short dress. Also, the pics don't show it, but the edge of the lace has a raw look, with a bit of fringe. It didn't detract or add to the look, but I was surprised when I saw it. Overall, this is a good dress for a more mature look, as it does have the higher neckline and straight fit. The color is also on the purple side of pink, and not as bright as some of the other pink lace options that RTR offers.

Didn't wear it, runs long
I am 5'6 and even the regular with 4" heels was a few inches too long. This would be a pretty dress for the right occasion, but were I to look again, I would get a higher quality sequin dress. Great for the price, however. I usually wear a 4 and the 6 was a tight squeeze. I would say this is sized for Juniors and to order accordingly.

Perfect fit - you'll want to be in shape for this one!
This is a very flattering dress, but it requires being comfortable with your body and being in shape is kind of a must. There is no support around the belly, although the picture shows some pleats around the belly. The material is more crepe-like so drapes beautifully. The back is too low to wear Spanx, which I was anticipating being able to wear. As as result, I stood up very straight all night! The front is designed to be worn with a sticky-bra, which worked well. Overall I loved the dress. There was another woman at the party wearing the teal version and I thought the color wasn't quite as pretty, but the price difference is steep, so if you like the cut but don't want to drop the big $$$ on this color, the teal is fine.
