Classic with a little flair.
This dress was perfect for a formal fall wedding. It was simple, classic, and classy but with a fun back detail and the high leg slit added a fun element. Really appreciated the comments about the inner slip being very fitted (zero give), especially for someone with some curves. I ended up going with my back-up size (6R) specifically because the slip was too right. The length was great--the only long dress I've ever not needed to get hem tape for. For reference, I'm 5'6" and with regular heels it was just about perfect.

The color was absolutely lovely. It was unexpectedly comfortable, which is always a plus!
The small fit well, and the shoulder straps could be adjusted, which helped quite a bit, and I really liked the longer length. The top had boning in it, which allowed me to go braless, even with a moderate/larger chest. Only downside was that it had wrinkled a bit, but given the different material I was anxious to iron so did not--a steamer would be recommended I think.

Perfect for a night of dancing in Vegas. Very flattering.
Based on some of the reviews, I ordered a size up for my back-up, but because we were in Vegas, I decided to wear my regular size. It was fitted and very short, but was ultimately perfect. I'm not usually a sequin person, but it worked so well on this dress. And you can wear a regular bra, which is always a plus. One of my favorite RTR orders to date!

Felt fabulous in it!
This was a very last-minute purchase for a friend's wedding in the fall and very glad I made it. I really appreciated the previous reviews regarding the lack of give in the chest and the shoulders, so went with my larger back-up size of a 6 instead of the 4, an the 6 fit perfectly. The skirt was long enough to feel appropriate for the church ceremony and the pockets were an extra fun bonus. The shoulders were only slightly restrictive for dancing, but nothing too bothersome, and totally worth it!

Gorgeous dress, and the slit was an extra bonus.
As many reviews said, it was very long--I'm 5'6" and wore 3 inch wedges, and it was still inches too long. I used body tape b/c I had that on hand--it wasn't ideal, but did the trick. And the dress was so lovely and comfortable, it was worth it. The color is great in person and the slit was super fun, but not inappropriate, and made wedding dancing easier for a maxi dress.

Loved it just as much in person as I hoped I would.
Loved this dress so much. Wore it to a wedding rehearsal dinner. Very flattering and comfortable, and got a lot of compliments on it. The 4 (my usual size) actually fit ok, but I went with my back-up, the 6, so there was more room in the skirt and made sitting a bit more comfortable.

Wore this to a book release party and reading and the cute, casual style worked well.
Loved the pockets and that I could wear a normal bra (with a bit of tucking) and that the skirt was a bit longer for this event. Drawbacks were that it was a combination of slightly tight in the shoulders and chest (no stretch) but at the same time was loose/had extra fabric in the collarbone area and it gapped a bit. Likely differs depending on chest size and how broad your shoulders are.

The flower detail was lovely--perfect style for a wedding.
I appreciated the comments from others that the top was a bit tight (no give in the material at all). The 4 (my usual size) fit but didn't leave much breathing room. I sized up for my back-up and ended up wearing that one, and it was perfect.

I actually ordered this dress as my back-up but wore it instead because I liked it so much!
Very flatting and incredibly comfortable. If you like skin-tight dresses, you could probably even size down, but I liked having a bit of breathing room. The skirt was a great length--short enough to be fun, but no worries at all with dancing and sitting. It is a simple dress but easily spiced up with shoes and jewelry.
