I ordered this as a back up dress for prom. The color was so gorgeous, if you have dark hair and lighter skin I definitely recommend it. I was SO torn if I should wear this dress of the other one I ordered. It fit great-- maybe a little loose considering I couldn't wear a bra with it (no back), but nothing that would be noticeable. In the end I went with the other dress, which was more elegant, but I wish I would have had another event to wear this one to!

I ordered the 34R and the 36R, which is supposed to be analogous to the 2R and 4R. The 2 was way too small, but the 4 fit perfectly. I put that it runs small because I ordered a 2 in my back up dress which ended up being a little big, whereas this one was tight in a 4. I'm 5'8", so I definitely would've needed a L if I was wearing heels, but I went with gold sandals and the R was perfect. I felt like a princess all night and I loved feeling super elegant when a lot of girls at my school went with sparkly, sort of tacky (in my opinion) dresses. Overall I felt great all night and received lots of compliments, thanks to this dress. The one con (if it is even a con) is that I thought the dress would be more flowy through the hips, but it is a tiny bit form fitting, so I just wore some spanx underneath to feel more comfortable.

I thought the dress was pretty, the double layered look in the skirt is much more visible in real life. The print was gorgeous, and the color is a little deeper. The 4R ended up being pretty large on me, which I didn't expect, and I probably couldn't have comfortably worn the dress. This dress was not my first choice, and I ended up going with the other one, but it was quite lovely.

I almost had a heart attack because RTR messaged me a week or so before my event saying this dress had become unavailable in the size I needed (a 4R), and my backup size was the 0L (which I did not think would fit at all). However, the 0 actually fit pretty well because I'm small chested, and the dress is really loose through the hips, etc. A 4 definitely would've been too big! A 2 would've been optimal, but the 0 worked, though it was a little tight. I wore the dress to my prom with 4 inch heels. I thought it photographed well, the the color is much prettier in person-- deeper greenish blue. Overall I thought it was a wonderful dress!
