Very flattering, tons of compliments
Great for the shorties, I loved this dress. Lots of compliments, very flattering. I'm pot-bellied and the 4P fit well.

Very comfortable and flattering dress
The stretchy material is very comfortable. It's a little boobalicious depending on what kind of bra you wear. I also used a cami under it to minimize cleavage for a family event and it still looked great. Very flattering if you have an apple-shape (bigger belly.)

Nice but Didn't wear-- too big
Really nice dress but it was too big on top for my petite frame. Usually I can fix wrap dresses but I couldn't make this one work. If you are short with a super short-torso this might not work for you.

THIS IS A MATERNITY DRESS - Not recommended unless you're actually pregnant.
No, really, it's a maternity dress. (See other comments.) Why the description doesn't say this is beyond me. I love flowy dresses and flowy-er dresses usually look great on me since I have a quite a bit of a stomach pooch, but the XS was enormous. There is no shape to it whatsoever. No cinching, no nothing. It's like a gauze paper bag. Did not work for my petite frame.

Didn't fit petite frame -- did not wear.
The XS was so, so frumpy on me. Way too big in the shoulders and armpit area, also way too long, but fit in the hips and boobs. Just like lots of "regular" sized dresses won't fit petite people, this one looked awful on me.

Not great for petite folks
Both the XS and the S were too big all over for me. Big in the shoulders and too long. It’s also more yellow than gold and made of a kind of courderoy material. I looked like I was wearing a couch.

Gorgeous! But Regular is too long for the very short.
Absolutely gorgeous and so flattering on top. I am 5'0", 34/36A, 118 lbs and the 2R fit great.... on top. It was way too long even with very high heels, so I had to send it back. (The 0R was also too long, and also too tight around my ribs/stomach.) RTR ***please*** get in more petites! There aren't many designs that come in petite, and they're often unavailable even when I try ordering months in advance.

Nonstop compliments
I got nonstop compliments! I'm usually a petite small, but this XSR was perfect. I'm 5' and was 115 lbs at the time of wearing, AA chest. The straps were a little loose so I pinned them. Would prob fit up to a B+. At first I thought it would be too tight in my belly & rib cage but the zipper just kind of sticks. It was very comfortable after that, no trouble breathing. The length was perfect for my short legs with wedge heels. The SR was easier to zip up but was way too big in the chestal area.

Cute dress, but the XS runs very small.
I am petite but but not waify nor curvy, so am generally hard to fit. I usually take advantage of the 2nd size and get XS and S. They were out of the S, so I took a risk and got just the XS-- bad idea. This was a cute dress, but the XS was too small for my frame; while the length was right and even the plunging neckline seemed like it would be flattering, I could not zip it up-- it was way too small around the rib cage. Bummer! From the other reviews, I fear the S may have been too big on the chest, but didn't have the opportunity to find out. I recommend definitely getting 2 sizes for this one if you're hard to fit.

Too large if you're short and petite.
I rented both the XS and the S and sadly neither of them fit. Even the XS was too large for my short and athletic frame. The length was too long and the torso was too long as well, bunching up the pretty mesh fabric in the back. If you're short but not curvy, the dress may look very frumpy, like it did on me.

ADORABLE and super comfortable.
As usual from RTR, I got tons of compliments on this. It looks great with a tan and is sooo comfortable. It's appropriate for a family picnic. The material is silk. Looks great off the shoulder or on-shoulder as well. Would love to own this!

Super Racy!
As always with RTR, I got a fair amount of compliments on this dress. It definitely looks sheer and racy / sexy, so be sure it's for an appropriate event. I found the S too long and a bit boxy (I'm very petite) but the XS was *VERY* tight on me and got to be uncomfortable after a while. If you have a bigger tummy like I do, you may not be super comfortable in this dress. It's very flattering for the rounder rears, though. ;)

Super flattering, tons of compliments, very comfortable.
This dress was super comfortable on me. I got compliments all night long, with people telling me the dress looked like it was made for me. I felt very confident! Would definitely rent this one again.

Classy dress, but may be too large if you're petite or short-waisted.
I got this for a high school reunion, and it would've been perfect style-wise -- very classy, cute without being either too frumpy nor too sexy, good for cool weather. However, I guess I'm learning that I'm simply too short from waist to shoulders for non-petite sized dresses. The 0 was a bit snug around the ribs, but the top of the dress was just way too big -- it needed to be raised up a good 2 inches in order for it to fit without big gaps around the armpits, bust and shoulders. Very disappointing, but if you're taller than 5'00 or have a longer torso than mine it will probably work fine!

I found this to be a little bit long on my short body. The top was very flattering for a small chest.

Lots of compliments on this dress! Very very shimmery! It was a little long for me at 5'00", and a little tiny bit big in the shoulders (I'm "petite") but overall the look was great.

If you're petite with a short torso it may not fit right.
This is an awesome dress, but if you're petite framed or have a short torso, it might not fit right. I was too heavy / broad around the ribs for the size 0 and it wouldn't zip, but the size 2 was too long in the torso -- the plunge from shoulders to sternum showed bra (I had to safety-pin it) and also there was a big huge gap at the shoulders, so it looked quite obviously too big. It was a great dress but not for my frame.

Super cute and comfortable.
The material was great. It's super cute and comfortable! It was a wee bit small and puckered a bit, but the 2 was too big. This particular dress had a small rip in it, which was very disappointing. But, I decided to wear it anyway -- I don't think anyone really noticed. It has a great unique look and was very comfortable to wear. Better for a day party than a night party, I think.

So many compliments!
This dress was super sexy! It runs tight but it's stretchy so you can breathe. It gave me really nice cleavage and showed off curves. It was definitely too long for a petite person, but it was easy to roll the hem underneath and nobody knew the wiser. And I got a ton of compliments on it, which is always nice.

Not great for the flatties.
They didn't have my size (usually XS), so I thought I'd try the XXS just in case. I knew this would be small, but hoped it would at least zip up, which it didn't. Wah! From the front, it was very unflattering on my small bust, so I don't think I'd even bother trying it in a size that fit.
