Fun and great addition!
I ordered this to go with my rehearsal dinner pantsuit and it worked wonderfully. It was light weight and fun plus I even had some disco vibes!

Absolute Perfection!
I wore this pantsuit for my rehearsal dinner on a schooner and this was perfect! I felt so elegant and the outfit was comfortable and fun. I am fairly petite so I did have to pin up the ruffles along the leg, plus it was full length, but it was absolutely amazing!

Fun and edgy!
These are really light earrings and are great. One side tended to fall away from my ear a bit but otherwise they were great!

Fun and edgy
These earrings were back-ups that I ordered for my ceremony rehearsal. They looked lovely but were quite heavy so it would be hard to wear them for longer periods.

Elegant Ceremony Rehearsal
I wore this dress for my ceremony rehearsal as the back-up for my original choice wasn't available. I lucked out that my original size fit in my original choice, along with this one. This was really elegant and flattering. The only criticism would be that it is a tad long for my petite frame, but otherwise it is beautiful and flattering

Really Cute and good for Pear shape
This romper was nice and light plus you can wear a regular bra with it. The zipper came fairly high on the back which would make it difficult to go to the bathroom. I got this romper as a back-up when my original back-up was unavailable. The size I ordered was too large and this romper definitely runs big on the bottom, so I'd recommend it for someone with more of a pear shape.

Lovely Fabric
This romper was an adorable back-up for my bachelorette party when the back-up size for my original choice was unavailable. I was so happy I actually fit in the 6, but I definitely would have been more comfortable in the 8, so I'd say it is true to size. You'll definitely want a pin for the chest as it does pop open.

Bachelorette Party Perfection
I had my eye on this romper for a long time and it did not disappoint. This was so figure flattering and I could wear a strapless bra with it. The lace was a little overstretched along the neckline but it wasn't too bad. Definitely recommend!

Cute and great for Spring!
I really enjoyed this dress, but I would stress (like the reviews say) that you will want to size down for both your regular size and back-up. I'm normally an 8 and I ended up wearing a 4. The only downfall is because it is such a loose fit, those with larger chests can have some awkward angles that are less than flattering. Very comfortable though!

Cute Dress but a Weird Fit for Petite Ladies
As many said in the reviews, this dress does NOT stretch. I fit in both sizes but I knew I'd be more comfortable in my back-up larger size just because of the lack of stretch. Also, it was rather long on my 5'1" frame, and actually went past my knees. Not my fave RTR, but I'm sure it would work better for some other taller folks!

Fun and comfortable!
I picked this as an emergency back-up when the dress I orderd was not available in my size. RTR was great and shipped it within a day and I ended up wearing this one even though I fit into the smaller back-up size of my original choice! I would flag that it is a looser fit around the waist so I'd suggest sizing down for a back-up. I likely could have worn a 6, which RTR offered, but I was silly and passed.

Cute dress but not white
I loved this dress and ordered it for my bridal shower, but unfortunately my actual size was not available for shipping. I did fit into the 42, but it was tight on my chest and the dress ended up more of a gray rather than white. Since I was really looking for a white dress RTR supplemented with a back-up I selected and it ended up working out.

Splash of color for Bachlorette!
I LOVED this dress. I had had my eye on it for some time and my MOH convinced me to get it for my bachlorette in Montreal. I felt really great in it and it worked wonderfully! It does run short, but I am petite so it ended up working out fine for me.

Great hi-lo for formal wedding
I loved that this was hi-lo since I am petite. This was a formal wedding so this dress was great. Unfortunately my usual size 8's zipper was broken so I wore the 10, but lucked out that that was the size in petite. Overall great thick material and fun pockets/back!

Classy for fall wedding
This is a great color for fall but I definitely felt my usual size was too small. I wore the large so it ended up being very long on me, but I still enjoyed it!

Tea Party Bridal Shower
This is a dress I have always wanted to rent so I jumped at the chance to wear it to a friend's bridal shower. Great length but the fabric has very little stretch so I ended up wearing the larger size for comfort. I definitely suggest sizing up for your second size.

Retro wedding style!
I loved this dress and it has been on my favorite list for a while now, so I was rerally excited to wear it. I fit in both but the waistband didn't have any given so I decided to go with the larger size for comfort. Great length and gives great curves. The shoulders can cut in a bit, but since I went with the larger size this wasn't as much of an issue. Plus, POCKETS!

Stylish and preppy engagement shoot!
I loved this dress and was really scared when my usual size 8 was unavailable. Luckily the dress runs quite small and the 10 fit, although it did seem to stretch out throughout the day. The dress is a tad short, but since I am petite and was in flats it wasn't too bad. Lilly for the win!

Little bit of glitz with lots of comfort.
This dress was really comfy and a nice level of formality for a NYE party. The only downside is that I found the knot at the waist actually less flattering on my self, but such is life. Otherwise it was great!

I wore this dress for Valentine's Day dinner and it was perfection. It does run a tad large so I suggest ordering your 2nd size 1 down.
