Adorable and comfy!
This dress was perfect for a day-to-evening wedding event. The skirt is full, fun, and a great dancing accessory! :) The only reason I didn't give this a 5-star rating is that the straps at the top were a bit loose, while the waist was a bit snug. Nothing that was revealing or horribly uncomfortable, but just slightly off in fitting my particular body. It was also great not having to wear a bra (small chest!) and wearing whatever undies I wanted with no fear of VSL or Spanx-wrestling post-event (hah!). I received a ton of compliments and would recommend this dress.

Just too large for my small noggin
Theses are beautiful earrings, but they are just too large for my small head.

I was so disappointed that I couldn't wear this.
Unfortunately, this dress is just not meant for anyone with a small chest. I ordered it in a 0 and 2 based on reviews, and while both fit my wait perfectly, the top was gigantic for my 32A chest. It's a gorgeous dress though! I had to seriously talk myself out of taping myself in, even though it still would've looked a mess on me. Hah

Simple, sweet and classy.
Great for a fall wedding. The material is a little on the heavy side, so it helped to keep me warm with the chilly, November wind whipping around. I wore it with black opaque tights, black heels, black blazer, and a hammered metal necklace. I didn't feel over-dressed or under-dressed. It was a great fit for my short, pear-shaped frame. If you're looking to play it safe for a last minute rental, you can't go wrong with this dress!

Classy with a sexy edge
I was concerned about the drop-waist style of the dress when I first opened it, as I'm definitely a pear shape and was blessed with some hips and a tush. However, it was SO flattering. It is VERY tight in the bodice, but I preferred it that way. The skirt flips and twirls, the exposed zipper is so adorable, and the entire dress just made me feel awesome I wore it with black pumps, sheer black stockings, and a hammered silver statement necklace. Loved it!

I felt old.
Pretty dress, but the shape and style just didn't work for my height and body type, unfortunately. It made me feel 78 rather than 28.

Just too big.
Gorgeous dress. As soon as I opened it, I adored it...until I put it on. I'm tiny up top and the cut of the dress just didn't work for me on my chest. I THINK a Size 0 would have been best for me, but since it was my back-up dress, I went with the 2 to be safe.

Went from wedding to after-party at a bar seamlessly
Beautiful AND functional. Perfect size; I fit flats, iPhone, keys, ID/credit card, cash, mini deodorant, lip gloss, and eye drops in this bad boy without a problem. I held it as a clutch for the wedding, and when we moved to the after party at a local bar, that chain-strap came in handy. I loved this so much!

Not good for a pear-shaped gal.
When I received this dress, it was very fun to look at it, (although, it did seem a bit worn out), but when I put it on, I knew immediately I was going with my back-up dress. I have a booty and where the waist hit on the dress did not jive with my body shape. The skirt flares out quite a bit and it's a little on the short side, (which is saying something, as I'm only 5'0"), so it highlighted my rear in an unflattering way. If you have small hips, I'm sure it would look gorgeous!

Great color, great fit...and pockets!
I actually ordered this as my back-up, and I am so glad that I did. I was a little worried at first with the "keyhole" opening, as I'm small up top, but it didn't gape or look inappropriate at all. The top fit snugly but not so much that I was uncomfortable, by any means. The skirt was so much fun to dance in! The fabric was perfect for a spring wedding in Philly, (not too thin, not too thick), and come on, there are pockets. Fantastic! I received so many compliments on the color, as it's nice and bold without being obnoxious. I'd recommend this dress over and over again. :)

Perfect.
This dress was perfect. I'm very tiny up top but was blessed with a bit of a booty, so the fit and flare style of the dress was perfection. I'm also short, but the length was perfect as well, hitting just above my knee. I think it's been mentioned but the picture really doesn't do the color enough justice. The picture evokes a grayish tone, (in my opinion), but in person it is a much prettier/flattering shade of blue. The top wasn't loose at all, despite my lacking in the chest area, and the bottom was just plain fun to dance and twirl in! Unfortunately, I was having too much fun to stop and take pictures, but I received a TON of compliments. :)

Perfection. Classy, sassy and ready to dance!
Being smaller chested, the top fit me perfectly. Bigger busted girls might find it a bit snug across the girls. I LOVED the deep-V in the back with the exposed zipper. It gave this otherwise sweet and classy dress a bit of a sassy edge. The color and fabric are gorgeous, and the skirt is perfect to twirl and spin on the dance floor. I received compliments all night--and well into the next week after the Facebook pictures went up, of course. I also wore the kate spade new york accessories Heavenly Cluster necklace. And finally--my bestie in the picture is wearing another RTR, (which I wore the week previously at another wedding), and she LOVED it and looked beautiful. Thanks again, RTR!

Fun and flattering!
Yet again, I scored a home-run with RTR. This dress received SO many compliments allllll night. The color is gorgeous. The material is so comfortable and beautiful. My only problems were a) my small chest and b) my big rear. The dress ended up being just a little snug across my hips, but it wasn't so uncomfortable I couldn't sit, stand and dance. And a little bit of fashion tape took care of the sagging top. I was very happy once again!

Most of the compliments I received were about the gorgeous color.
I actually wore the same style dress in a different color a couple of weeks ago to another wedding I attended. Simply put? This dress is perfect for just about any girl, any size, any event. I am small-chested, so the top did gap a smidge, but it wasn't anything a nice, padded bra couldn't fix! The color, the fabric, the pockets, the length--all perfect. I received a TON of compliments for this dress, as well as the one in the aqua color.
