Great "mermaid" feeling in this dress was perfect for an "under the sea" themed event!
Fit: I got a 4R with a 2R backup size. Both sizes fit pretty well. The 2R would have fit with a different bra, but since my strapless bra has some pretty sizeable padding, I ended up wearing the 4R. (For someone comfortable with doing so, I actually think this dress would be okay bra-less.) Both sizes were about the same fit elsewhere, so I would recommend really using bust size to determine the best fit. The dress is very long and definitely should have been worn with heels (I wore flat sandals and tripped a bit). Pros: The fabric is beautiful! The color of this dress was amazing and great for springtime. Cons: The bodice structure of this was really stiff. There's boning structure over the ribs and sides, which help the dress stay in place very well, but it made it very uncomfortable for sitting as the plastic boning dug in to my stomach and ribs.

Wore this to my grandmother's memorial service--it was exactly her favorite colors! Perfect.
Fit: I am usually about a size 4 and this size seemed generally a good fit. I didn't get a backup size, but it's possible I could have even fit a size 2. The dress was generally comfortable. Pros: THIS DRESS HAS BIG DEEP POCKETS. I didn't take a purse with me when wearing this dress. I easily fit my cell phone, wallet, and a few make-up items in the pockets without it being visible at all from the outside. Cons: I did find I couldn't raise my arms very high though because of the shape/cut of the sleeves, and had a little bit of a hard time getting in and out of a car because of the cut of the hem/skirt portion. For most of the regular wear though, the fit and movement were just fine. (I didn't get any pictures that showed the dress well on the day of, so these pictures were all taken the next day.)

Wearing this was the prettiest I've ever felt. I LOVED feeling like a vintage princess!
Fit: Loose, comfortable fit. Great for dancing! My spare size was one size up, but the first size worked perfectly. Pros: Loved the fit and material! I tend to find tulle layers itchy, but this is very soft and has a smooth slip underneath. Very comfortable. I felt GREAT wearing this dress and I would definitely recommend the dress to others and rent it again myself! Cons: The lace at the top tended to fold over on itself (which takes away from the great shape of the neckline). Easy fix though with a little bit of double-sided tape (RTR sells this as "fashion tape") under each "leaflet". Color: The dress is much more saturated blue than the model picture shows. (The model picture looks more grey-blue, but the dress is definitely more colorful.)
