Beautiful Bump Friendly Dress
As other reviewers stated, this is a great bump-friendly dress. I wore this dress at 20 weeks (+12 lbs), and sized up one size from my normal size to the 4R. It fit perfectly and definitely showed off the bump after adding a belt. It made me look more pregnant than I was at the time, but I got a lot of compliments throughout the evening. It was quite long, but I had 3 1/2" heels that kept the hem floating just above the floor. I didn't have an issue with the itchiness of the butterflies, but I can see how that could be a problem. I would wear this again post-pregnancy as it's a beautiful dress!

A bit too glam
I ordered a different dress for the wedding event, but at the last minute the dress was unavailable. So RTR made it right by sending me a few other styles (including this one). I am 20 weeks pregnant, so finding a dress that fit nicely was a challenge. I wore a size 0 or 2 pre-pregnancy. And since I've gained 12 lbs of baby weight (@ 20 weeks), I sized up to accommodate for a baby bump. I received this dress in a 44R, and while it was a beautiful gown (quite glamorous), the chest was very snug. I've gained a cup size in my pregnancy, but I still have a smaller chest (32B), and this was very snug. This is a bump friendly dress - but chest size must be extra small. I didn't end up wearing because it was a little too fancy for the occasion and too snug to be comfortable all evening.

Bump Friendly Style
This certainly is a bump-friendly style! I ordered a different dress, but at the last minute the dress was unavailable. So RTR made it right by sending me a few other styles. I wore a size 0 or 2 pre-pregnancy. And since I've gained 12 lbs of baby weight (@ 20 weeks), I sized up to accommodate for a baby bump. Even then size 4 was much too big. Almost 2 sizes too large! This is a bump friendly dress - it just didn't fit the bill for me.

Gorgeous spring/summer dress
I wore this dress to a wedding in June, and this was perfect for the affair. I tried on both sizes the day i received them, and the 2 (my usual size) fit perfect, the 4 had some extra room. The next day baby bloat was in full force (I was 7 weeks pregnant at the time), and the 2 was uncomfortably snug around my waist so I wore the 4 and it worked out great! There definitely is no give at all in this dress, so I would size up. I was concerned that the color would be too light for a wedding, but it ended up being a beautiful blush color that worked perfectly. I would definitely rent again.

Loved these!
I wish I owned these! They are so versatile and can go with anything to add a pop of color.

Too Large, and the white was a "dirty white"
I ordered this dress to wear to as a guest to a destination wedding in the Virgin Islands. I received the dress the day before I travelled, so I was unable to exchange it for a smaller size. The dress ran huge. I normally wear a 2, and it was falling off me. I also didn't like the color. It looks like the white stripes should've been white, but they were a "dirty white" like it had been worn and washed too many times. I ended up wearing it because I had no other options, but I hated it. I had to wear a corset underneath just to keep it up!

Beautiful Earrings - but far too heavy
I didn't realize these would be so heavy. I'm not used to wearing such heavy earrings, so I didn't end up wearing these. They were pretty though!

This is one dress I wish I owned.
This is definitely one dress I wish I had in my closet. Thanks to RTR, though, I don't buy formal dresses anymore. I was worried about the sizing, but my regular size fit perfectly (size 2). The poof was definitely poofy - but I loved it!

A Little Vegas Sparkle
I wore this dress to celebrate my birthday in Las Vegas. The dress is a beautiful ivory and Aqua blue sparkle. It wasn't all that flattering on my body shape, but it's a pretty dress. I wore the size 2 since it was a better fit on me. The 4 didn't cinch my waist where the elastic band is and it was at least 2 inches longer than the smaller size. I wouldn't rent it again, but it worked great in Vegas!

A beautiful dress - I got a ton of compliments!
The picture doesn't do this dress justice. It's absolutely gorgeous. I ordered a size 2 and a size 4. The size 2 looked nice, but it was a bit snug around my chest (which is surprising because I'm fairly small on top), and I had read concerns about the sequin being scratchy. The 4 was a perfect fit with some room to move so I didn't have to do any pulling throughout the night. We danced all night, and my arms were completely scratched up by the end of the night , but it was definitely worth it.
