Super cute, high quality, and bump friendly.
I rented this dress for a high heels themed event, so I wanted something simple to set off my shoes, and it had to be bump friendly. I usually wear a 4/6, so I was happily shocked that the 2 fit and hid my bump at 25 weeks. RTR was out of 4/6 so I also got an 8, which felt too roomy in the chest and wasn't flattering. The ruffle is sturdy so it really holds the dress hem out in a circle. I'd highly recommend it. Only down side is that it's pretty short for tall ladies.

Lovely dress, but it was my backup.
This definitely runs small. I was so sure an 8 would be too big that I didn't even try it on before my event. I wish I had because it was really flattering and perfectly sized! Snug fit hugs your bum and then kicks out with a flirty mermaid flare.

Loved the fabric, but not the cut.
I wanted to love this dress, but it fit awkwardly on my long torso. I wore the 6, which was just about right for my chest, but the narrowest part of the dress hit around my ribcage a good 3-4 inches above my natural waist. As a result it felt dumpy instead of slimming.

Strong, svelte, yet professional little black dress was perfect for a museum opening.
I really loved, loved, loved this dress. I felt chic and sophisticated but still young and trendy. This fit like a glove. I'm really long waisted. I often cannot wear a sheath for that reason, but this one worked.

Lovely color, nice fit, fabric a little puckered.
I loved the silvery blue color and the fit. I'm 33/26/38 and this had a snug top and flared skirt that complemented my body type. The fabric is heavily embroidered so it's more textured than I was expecting. I could zip the 2 but wore the 4 for a little more comfort.

Chic, edgy, and fun. Order to fit bust/waist, not hips.
I wore this to an arts event, and it was the perfect style to go with black tie/creative cocktail dress code. My only disappointment was with the fit. I ordered a 4 and 6, and wore the 4, but I should have ordered down for my second size rather than up and gotten a 2. This dress looks best when it fits like a glove. The fabric is stiff enough that if it's not tight through the waist and bust it actually makes you look bigger than you are. The skirt is much more flared than is evident in the photo. It has a nice stifferner at the hem that holds it out. This means that if you're hippy--don't worry about it. Order the size to fit your bust/waist. I'm a 34/27/38 and wish I got a 2.

I wore this to an art opening paired with vintage paste jewels, and it was perfect.
I am 5'9" and ordered the long. Even with the long length I was glad I wore flats (bejeweled sandals). Any more of a heel and I think it would have looked too short. The waist is high and the stomach/hip area is forgiving, which is nice. Felt like a goddess!
