I ordered both the 4 and 6. The 4 fit very nicely through the waist and hips, however it was very snug through the chest so I ended up going with the 6 (I'm a full 34C) for additional breathing room. I received so many compliments on the color and cut of this dress - it was perfect for a spring baptism and so vibrant (and full of hope)! I paired it with a pair of navy heels and a navy cardigan when I felt a little chilly.

This was a very lovely dress, however I did not wear it for this event (I ended up going with another dress). The 6 fit with plenty of room to spare, however - it was a bit loose through the middle and the hips, but snug in the chest.

This dress was very flattering and I received compliments all night on the color and cut. I sized up as recommended and felt very comfortable in the dress and was able to dance all night. I highly recommend a pair of nude heels as they elongate the dress and match the lining wonderfully.

This was a very flattering and summery dress for a lovely night out at a Broadway show. However, like other reviewers said, it does run very narrow in the hips. I had the the medium as a backup size and it fit just as snugly in the hips as the small! I ended up wearing the small because it fit nicely through the torso and chest and the medium was a little loose.

This gown was absolutely stunning and I received tons of compliments on it. It fit the romantic theme of Orphee et Eurydice (ballet + opera) for opening night at the Lyric Opera. The 4R fit well in the chest area, but was loose through the waist and hips. The 2R would probably have fit perfectly, but it ended up being unavailable right before I was supposed to receive it. I ended up cinching the waist with a rose-gold filigree-embellished necklace.

I rented both the 4 and the 6 and ending up wearing the 4. Both dresses fit very snugly around the waist and had more give in the bust. The only difference between the two sizes was that the 6 was slightly larger in the bust. The dress is extremely flattering - the color of the full a-line skirt stood out on a beautiful summer evening. The open back with spaghetti straps also garnered lots of attention- I received compliments just walking down the street! One of my favorite dresses from RTR.

I rented this for the Michael Jackson One show in Vegas and it was perfect! The size 4 was a little loose in the bust (I'm a 34C) and you can't wear a bra (but pasties are perfect), but overall it was extremely flattering and my boyfriend loved it!

I rented the 2R with the 4R for backup and wore the 2R. The dress fit perfectly in the waist and chest - no bra stickies needed! The lining was a little long and hung out under the overlay, but did not look bad. The arms are tight - I'm somewhat muscular in my biceps area and this was quite snug, making the arm movement a little more restricted. However, not a problem because I was not moving around a lot! I'm 5'3" and wore 4" heels - the dress still hit the ground, but I didn't have any problems walking. I just needed to be careful on the stairs. Overall, a stunning dress. I received compliments all night long in this gown.

I did not wear this dress as it smelled like smoke when I received it and I couldn't get the smell out. However, it was a really fun dress - I wish it hadn't smelled!

This dress was fun and festive! One of the slits was ripped when I received it, but I stitched it up very quickly. It's a little long - I'm 5'3 and wore 3.5" heels and needed to hold the dress up when I walked. It's also quite low cut, so I wore a bandeau. Despite those two things, it was a very flattering dress for NYE.

This dress was extremely flattering and caught the light perfectly from the Christmas lights at the party and in pictures. I received compliments all night long. I loved this dress - would purchase it if I could! I ordered the S and XS and went with the XS (5'3", 117 lbs, 34C) and it fit perfectly.

This dress was incredible! I was a little uncertain about it given the plunging neckline, however a nude bra is undetectable. The straps were a little long, but not a problem. I am 5'3" and I wore 4" heels with the 4P. I wore this to the opening night at the Lyric Opera and received tons of compliments. This was the back-up to my back-up dress since the size I had ordered was not available.

This dress was so much fun to wear! The longer portion of the skirt flows and billows behind you when you walk, creating a beautiful effect. The shorter portion makes your legs look so long in comparison - great for a shorter woman! The neckline is extremely flattering for an athletic build. I received so many compliments! In hindsight, I wish I had ordered the petite version of this dress. I am 5'3" and wore 4" heels and the regular length was just a bit long and I had to be careful of the "train" of the dress even with the high heels. I waffled between wearing the 4R and the 2R. The 4R had a little more give in the waist, which felt a bit more comfortable for sitting, but slipped a little around the chest, thus not providing as much support. I ended up wearing the 2R because it supported my chest a lot more (and I could still breathe and sit down) - no bra needed!

This romper is super cute! It is a little short (I'm only 5'3"), but with a darker pair of tights/nylons, it's not too short and I was easily able to dance all night without feeling restricted. The fit was perfect with the size 4 (120 lbs, 34C) and the sleeves were not tight (I have an athletic build with muscular arms). I also dressed it up with a skinny black belt to emphasize the waist area.

The size 4 was a perfect fit! Although the dress looks pinkish in the photo, it is actually a great shade of red. In addition, because of the lining in the dress and the sheath fit, there is no need for a bra! However, you will most likely need help in order to fasten the clasps across the back. I received many compliments (my husband looked quite stunned when he saw me in it!) and it has a lovely silhouette.
