Warm and fitted casual dress
So easy to throw this one on and look put together. Fitted in the waist with plenty of room in the hips. Can easily wear without a jacket in the mid-60s. Would be too warm in the 70s.

Dazzling and forgiving in the tummy/hips.
4 months postpartum I was looking for a gown that above all, fit well. This dress was comfortable and was forgiving in the tummy and hips. Great find!

Daily compliments on this gem. It's a great pop of color for basic every day outfits.
There is only one button on this coat, so not ideal for cold weather.

Brightest Dress at the Party
This was a fun form fitting pop of color. For hippy girls like myself (big hips that is) it was comfortable and flattering. If I could do it again I would have gone without a bra. The top is quite tight and you could see the bra strap marks from the back.

Elegant and forgiving.
This was an elegant option for a formal gala. I had some fancier options but ultimately went with this one because it was so comfortable and roomy in the hips. If you are curvy this is a great choice.

Unforgiving fit.
I wanted this to work but I'm too hippy. There is absolutely no stretch. Untimately it just didn't fit.

Didn't fit
No coverage for chesty ladies. Not appropriate unless worn with a tank of sorts.

Beautiful Print!
This was actually my back up dress. I originally intended to wear the NICOLE MILLER Yuyuan Garden Maxi. I preferred the silhouette and fit of the long maxi to this but my boyfriend begged me to wear this one. He couldn't get over the colors and at the end of the day it was more appropriate for a conservative country club wedding. I had many compliments throughout the night and the full skirt was fun to twirl around in on the dance floor. I'm normally a size 6 for dresses that fit at the waist. I read the reviews and sized up to an 8 and it fit like a glove. I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 simply because I didn't fall in love with it like I have with other RTR dresses.

Fun Dress to dance in.
This dress was a lot of fun. I wore it for a Mardi Gras Charity Gala. I have a skinny waist/round bottom situation. This dress (size 6) fit great on top and left me with enough room on the bottom. I received a lot of compliments throughout the night and had a lot of fun twirling around on the dance floor. Note, this dress has a corset top which made it somewhat uncomfortable to sit down/relax. I spent the majority of the night on my feet so it wasn't a problem. However, if you are attending a sit-down event you may want to factor that into your decision.

Great Princess Dress
This was one of my options for a black tie wedding. I am 5'11" and have an hourglass shape. I will typically wear a size 6 for dresses that are A-Line and fit at the waist. However I'll typically wear a size 10 for pencil skirts that fit at the hips. The 8L fit perfectly. However, went with another dress as I felt it was too "bridesmaid-ish" for a wedding.

I felt beautiful in the dress and was told that the dress was "hot" "sexy" "classy" and "sophisticated". Great combo.
I wore this for a black tie wedding. I have an hourglass shape. I am 5'11" and wear a size 6 for A-Line dresses that fit at the waist, and a size 10 in pencil skirts that fit at the hips. The 10L fit me like a glove. The length was perfect with my 2.5" heels.
