Classy and sexy all at once!
This dress seems to run a little short. I am 5'9"/34DDD/150lbs. I received 6R and 8L. The perfect fit would've been 6L, but it wasn't available. I wore the 8L purely for the length, and I still wore shorter heels. The dress was easy to wear, unique, and elegant. I wore a strapless, corset bra underneath the dress. It doesn't have enough support otherwise if you're shaped like me.

Lots of compliments from people I didn't even know!
This dress was beautiful and sooo comfortable! It photographs better than it looks in person. The vibrant colors look bolder on camera. Luckily, the 8L fit because RTR wasn't able to send the larger back-up size (and the replacement for the back-up dress was not my style at all!) The one problem with this dress: the zipper! Other reviewers warned of this too. Luckily, someone suggested to slide bar soap on the zipper to make it move better, and that worked. However, I needed two people to help zip it up. It fine, but the zipper was so stubborn. I don't think I could have done it alone. I was very concerned whether I could wear this without a bra, since I have a large bust. However, everything fit snuggly, and it worked perfectly. The dress was extremely comfortable and cool. The pockets were perfect!

I never wore this dress.
I never wore the dress. I tried it on. It was too short for me. I'm 5'9" and in my mid-30s, and I thought it was better suited for someone in her 20s.

This was a beach wedding.
This dress was fun and comfortable for the beach wedding I attended, but it hugs the body in such a way that I felt most confident wearing spanx. I wore the spanx that work kind of like a slip (open at the bottom not shorts) as the dress slit was too high for other styles. I tucked the spanx straps into the top part of the dress, and everything worked fine. I didn't even have to wear a bra, despite generally needing that support with other dresses. I thought I would need the larger dress, but I wore my regular size, and it was fine. The color was a little more of a mustard color than I thought.
