I reserved this size in a 16L and an 18L. Neither size was a match for me. Thankfully I found the PERFECT backup which was sent free of charge, and I just paid the shipping. RTR customer service is the best. The 16 was too small in the bottom, but fit great in the bust. The 18 was too large in the top and perfect in the bottom. I feel like this dress is made for the ladies with a bigger chest. Which is great! Just not for me. Even my XL boob pads could not have saved me with this dress. Also, I have stretch marks from breast growth (babies) that were VERY visible in this dress when I raised my arms. However, the color is absolutely exquisite in person, and the dress quality was "chefs kiss!" I'm a 36" waist and a 47" hip for reference.

This dress in a regular length was too short on me, a longer size would have been better but it was not available when I ordered. I ended up wearing a different dress. The sequins and fabric are forgiving and help create a flawless look. No seam rolls or bumps in this dress! The back is extremely low so not much room for a high-waisted spank in this dress, just FYI. However, the back was absolutely beautiful. Just too low for me! (I'm not trying to reveal my circa 2005 tramp stamp at a wedding)

I run wide in the hips and smaller in the chest, particularly since I am holding some postpartum belly weight right now. This dress was an absolutely wonderful fit for me! I recommend using the stick-on pasties/bra for this dress. I was so comfortable all night and the stripes of color are in this dress are so beautiful. I am fairly tall and the length of the dress with flats was perfect. My waist is 36" and hips are 47" for reference.

Straps were way too long and I had to tie them in the back since they aren’t adjustable. I think it would be okay for someone with a larger bust! Fit was loose on me, which was a surprise. Incredibly comfortable outfit for a night out.

I ordered this dress for maternity photos in my third trimester (37 weeks). I normally wear a 16L, so I ordered the 18L for belly room. The top ran big on me since I sized up, but I was still able to make it work! I liked that the cut of the shoulders allowed me to wear a regular bra, and didn't require me to purchase a new strapless or shape-wear. This dress is very comfortable and glamorous! Couldn't be happier! Sizing help: 5' 10", currently 220lbs in pregnancy, previously 190lbs

Weight: 220lbs

Bust: 40C

Good: This dress was flattering! Thick & stretchy fabric make it forgiving for many body types. I went for it because the price was incredible ($30)! But I am happy that I did! Info: Used a stick on bra, and mid-thigh spanx with this dress. It was a little baggy in a few areas, I might have been able to use a 14. Stats: 5'10", waist: 36, hips: 45, bra: 40C Bad: I'm 5'10" and wore 1" heel. If my shoes were any taller, the dress (16R) would have been too short. I wish there was a "tall."

Bust: 40C

The bad: The XXL was slightly big on me. So, the dress length was a little off, and hit the widest part of my calf (not flattering). With the dress being a bit baggier, the nude sheath underneath did not show through. The good: Everyone raved about this dress all night! I was slightly apprehensive about anything this form-fitting! BUT, I was SO comfortable in it with the right undergarments! (I wore a regular bra, and thigh length spanks). This is the best I've looked/felt in years! Thank you!
