Cute, comfy dress. I'm bigger on top so it fit me well, although slightly tight around the waist band. My husband loved me in it though...I think he liked it better than I did! The length was nice on me...a little above the knee so not too short.

Very cute dress, wore it to a wedding and got tons of compliments. Color is lovely, cut is cool and flattering, only gripe is that the top tended to slip down, exposing my bra a bit, so double sided tape would be advisable.

Cute dress, the top was awesome. I found it a little loose in the waist, but I put on a wide black belt and it looked great.

Didn't end up wearing this dress. The fabric was really pretty but the fit wasn't good for me. It was really short, tight in my bust and the lining felt like it was clinging too tightly to my hips. Probably better on a thinner body type than mine.

The dress is really awesome but the fit is all wrong. It was too big in the waist and my chest was pretty much hanging out, but it fit perfectly in the shoulders. Luckily, since this was a wrap dress I was able to fix it with a LOT of tape. I didn't use the snaps or tie...just taped everything instead, thereby making it snug around the waist and taped some of the ruffles at the chest together to provide a little more coverage. I didn't find it to be too see through, since there is a slip sewn into the dress, but the wind could catch you unaware and expose more than you had in mind!

Cute, I wore it to a pinic with a blazer and it worked well. It is, however, very long. I had to do a temporary hem with matchsticks tape (I took it up by about 3 or 4 inches) which worked fine. I would say the frill at the front was less flattering on me than it would be one someone with a smaller chest (I'm a 34DD) but with the jacket I was wearing it was fine. Very comfortable, and with the waist being so high it really elongates your legs (assuming the hem is the right length for you)

Nice dress with a good fit for those of us with some curves. The belt that came with it wasn't my size so I had to subsitute with another belt...seems to be sort of a problem with dresses with belts at RTR! Not the most exciting style but it still looked good and I still got compliments. The dress flares in a pretty adorable way in the back, I must admit.

Cute little dress. I think it's probably a little more flattering on a straight and narrow figure than on curvy ones, but it still looked good and I still got compliments. Comfy, although that lace does catch on things!

definitely flattering on a curvy body type...I wore it to my wedding after party and got tons of compliments. Slid down a little bit, I wish I had gotten the size down to try instead of the size up!

Super cute dress, I wore it to my wedding rehearsal and dinner after. I'm a 34D and didn't need a bra with this dress due to the built-in structure which was a plus.
