Back-up Dress for the Win
This dress was a back-up for my first choice, which was not in stock in time for my event. Received so many compliments. Suprised RTR sent me a size 0 in addition to the 2 I have selected. I am usually 2 or 4. They knew what they were doing. 0 was the best fit. Note: I do have a shorter torso and smaller frame. With this style, it did not need to fit closely to my lower half.

All Glam
I got so many compliments on this dress. I typically wear a size 2/4. Based on reviews, I ordered this in 2 and 0. The size down fit (without a bra) and was more slimming. The size 2 ended up being a perfect fit (with the bra) and has some leeway for comfort. I am 32C, 27" waist, and about 36" hips.

On the Edge
This dress was a surprise -- it almost has a deep V but doesn't; it almost is too short but is not. I found it perfect for an evening rooftop party. Sparkly, fun, but not too much.

Classic and Lovely
Like a champagne at a garden bunch, this dress is sweet and bubbly. It fit TTS, but I did not wear to the event. If you have one bit of food belly or bloating, this dress will highlight it. That day it just wasn't working for me. I shall return to it for another time.

Pleasant Surprise
This dress was a pleasant surprise. I have rented multiple black tie gowns from RTR over the years, and this one was priced lower and did not boast any particular unique identifiers. The fit was feminine and classic. It was perfect for a gala where one would want to looked polished and lovely in a way that does not distract from the focus of the evening. I typically wear size 4/S in RTR items. I was between 2 and 4 on this one and chose to squeeze in the smaller size. After a few minutes, it fit like a glove.

Feminine and Versatile
I added this to my membership bundle on a whim. It turned out to be my favorite piece that round and one that I later purchased. It's so versatile. I wore it to an afternoon fundraising luncheon and then to a garden party. It straddles demure and highly feminine with the longer length but two side slits.

"Ravishing"
Wore to a Bob Fosse-inspired black-tie fundraiser. Absolutely perfect for it. Someone mistook me for one of the performers. I typically wear size 4/S in most RTR items. Thankfully, I read the reviews and ordered 2 as my back-up, and it nearly fit perfectly. Not sure if the dress ran large up top or if it stretched over multiple wears. The bust area gaped a bit (but not enough to be worrisome), and I am not too big or too small up there.

The deep drop and the subtle sparkle really make this dress and eye turner. I attend a few formal events a year and got a ton of compliments on this one!

Very Audrey Hepburn
This dress was Audrey Hepburn adorable. The 4, my usual size, did run a little small around the torso, as reviewers indicated. I preferred the more streamlined fit of it over the size up of the 6. Pocket option is amazing. I did not wear because the outdoor event became more formal than planned and the weather turned much cooler that week (low 60s). I am definitely coming back to this for another occasion. Tip: I felt meh about the dress until I put on a 3" heel with an ankle strap. The shoes are what complete this mid-century look!

The Perfect Red
I choose this dress over a black sleeveless gown from the same designer, which was also amazing, most because of this red -- it's the perfect red. The two gowns from this designer are TTS (I usually wear a 4 or 40). I wore the size up, despite it not being as slimming as my actually size, because it was the only one available for my event and it was the perfect red! The thicker fabric and the arm sleeve handled the 63 temp outdoors perfectly.

Classy & Edgy
I loved the fit and the subtle edginess of this dress. It felt TTS. I would only wear in cooler temperatures. The thicker albeit slimming fabric would not breathe well in our humid summers. It was perfect for our fall event.

Beautifully constructed. Lots of compliments.
I followed reviews and sized up one and two sizes and both fit comfortably. I cannot imagine what my usual RTR size would have felt like! I received many compliments on this dress. It was very comfortable (in my size up) and it breathes. I am not in love with it. It was more dignified and refined, which is good. I was looking for more of a "wow" factor.

Attractive
This dress is beautiful in a very classy way. I wore to an evening outdoor formal event (garden party) at an estate. I previously wore a Diane von Furstenberg dress of a similar style in blue. The fit and quality was much better than this one.

Effortlessly stunning
I got so many compliments on this dress. I wore it to an outdoor play Midnight Summer's Dream during a warm, humid summer evening. Perfect for the conditions. I am a long-legged 5'5" and this was a bit long, even with heels.

Figure flattering
This dress is gorgeous. The fit is very flattering ... keeps everything high and tight. This came as a back-up and only long was available. The regular would have been the perfect length for my 5'5" frame with 3" heels. The fabric is firm. Definitely wear only to cool evening events.

Very Marilyn.
Lots of compliments. Color is gorgeous. Ruffles are in all of the right places. Wore 6R because the 4R didn't show. The 4R is my true size and would have been perfect. Thanks to fashion tape, I was able to get this one to hold up on my frame.
