I fell in love with the idea of this dress a year before actually wearing it. It took me 4 different dresses to find the right size (thank god for unlimited), but this dress was PERFECT for my sister in laws wedding. My only wish is that I would have gotten a long - at 5'6" it hovered just above the floor and my regular heels made it just a tad too short, so I wore a very small heel. I normally bounce between and 16/18/20 and I wore the 14W. It gave me tasteful cleavage, and I did need some fashion tape to keep it appropriate but the amount of compliments I received made it totally worth it!

Sorry for the not great photo - I didn't end up wearing this for my event but wanted to review it still as I really appreciated reviews with photos when making my selection! It was a bit more fitted than I like for my large hips and cushy belly. Would have worked with some shape wear. The shoulder detail was beautiful, but I have wide swimmer shoulders and it made me feel kind of like a linebacker. Would be best for someone with a straighter silhouette and maybe narrower shoulders. I am a pretty standard Sz 20, and the 22 was fitted (not too tight, just very fitted).

Runs big - I'm a pretty true sz 20, and not particularly tall at 5' 6" and the 18L was perfect! The L was just an inch too long, but with heels I think the regular would have been too short. Great for a curvy silhouette! This was a backup RTR sent me after I discovered my first choice dress had been hemmed unevenly by someone, and I'm so glad I got it!
