Got this for a wedding rehearsal dinner in which my husband was the best man. It was so perfect! I was subtly radiant (ideal, as I was not the bride). FIT: Skimmed right over me... not clingy and not baggy. It didn't particularly accentuate my waistline but it wasn't boxy. The knit definitely has give. I am usually between 6 and 8 on clothes so I got the larger size... no second size on this one for me. I could have probably worn it smaller but I'm very happy with the look the 44 gave me. LENGTH: My legs aren't as long as the model's so the hem didn't look quite as short on me. I have a two year old who was at the dinner and I felt comfortable carrying him on my hip and bending down to pick up toys. I still had to be cognizant of not revealing my tush but it wasn't really a problem. FABRIC: Gorgeous colors! Loved the shades of blue and teal and gold. The metallic threads gave it a little glimmer without being obnoxious. Definitely sheer... it did not come with a slip though I thought I had read another review which said it did come with one. Regardless, be prepared! I wanted a slip because the location was traditional and I have one anyway, which I wore. If you are on the fence... get the dress! You'll love it! It is so comfy and beautiful and has to be flattering on many different figures.

LENGTH: I was a little concerned about the length... the Long was not available for my event date so I got the Regular. The stylist recommended 1"-2" heels which were tough to find! Most of the formal shoes in that height were very granny. I ended up with a leopard print 2" that looked fabulous... the dress just brushed over the toes... my feet were not completely hidden like in the model picture. FIT: Wow. I looked freakin' awesome, if I may say so myself. I'm usually between 6 and 8 and the 40 was perfect. I already have an hourglass figure but the cut really made me shine. The "floaty" nature of the fabric accentuated my bosom... it was separated and lifted from the lining which fit snugly and had great support. It also fit great in the hips and thighs which is usually my problem area... I have muscle-y legs and a tush... no problem there! COLOR: Gorgeous shade of green. It's really more of a teal than you can see in the picture... which I thought looked forest green. It definitely has more of a blue tint. Beautiful! SERVICE: I will definitely use RTR again. This was my first time and I'm not gonna lie... I was a bit nervous about it showing up and fitting (the length particularly, as mentioned above). But it was great. I've told oodles of people about it and am already scanning the dresses for New Year's Eve.
