I really enjoyed wearing this dress! It was perfect for a work event that was happening right around the holidays. I'm pretty short (5 ft) and the dress hit a few inches above my knees, which is awesome, because usually dresses that are meant to be a bit shorter are nearly floor length on me (haha). It's nice to balance a conservative top with a shorter length, so I'm glad it wasn't too long on me. I ordered a size 2 and a size 4, I went with the 2 and found that it fit me perfectly, not too snug, not too loose. I wore this with some tights and black booties to give it a little bit more of a festive holiday look. The only major downside with this dress was that it is two pieces, a slip, and then the lace dress that goes over the slip. I found that the slip kept awkwardly shifting throughout the night, and I didn't really notice until I would go look in a mirror and see that it wasn't centered on my body any more... it just kind of moved however it wanted to. Nothing too bad, just made for a little bit of an "uneven" look if I wasn't paying attention to it. Other than the slip shifting, there were a few (very minor) flaws in the dress. The lace had a tiny hole in the front, and some areas were unraveling, just very minor though. Someone else on here mentioned that the arms were snug... I would definitely keep that in mind, this lace is not very stretchy at all. However, if you have smaller arms, you'll be fine. Overall, I enjoyed this dress, I thought it was a perfect winter dress for a formal event!

I loved the way this fit! Although as stated by others it was a bit snug in the armpit area, it wasn't by any means an issue. I just couldn't go crazy waving my arms around in the air-- but I don't think at any point in the night I ever really needed to do that, haha. It's a very flattering, pretty little dress. I ordered the 6 as a backup since I was worried about the snugness in the arms, but I never even tried it on because the 4 fit so great. I definitely recommend this one, she's a cutie.

This dress was absolutely darling! First of all, I want to give RTR a shout-out. They allowed me to pick a second back-up last minute. The original dress I wanted wasn't available, and at the time I didn't put too much thought into the back-up I first picked, thinking I wouldn't need it (whoops!). The original back-up dress was much too formal for a country-style wedding. So I did some quick browsing, and found this gem! I was a little self-conscious at first, as it isn't very forgiving in the tummy area. I did wear spanx in the beginning, but those did not last long, haha, I felt way too restricted. The dress is just so beautiful that you quickly learn to let go of the itty bitty flaws of yo-self, because you'll feel like a queen in this dress. I received many compliments. Being so short (5' 0"), it was really nice to have a dress that was actually kinda short on me (for once in my life). Not like "I'm goin' clubbin'" short, but just short enough to be sexy, hitting about mid-thigh. The lace detailing is beautiful. But I do agree with most of the other ladies on here... size up. I'm usually a size 4, but I went with a 6, and it seriously fit like a glove. The sleeves weren't too tight, and it zipped right up effortlessly. However, had I gone with a 4, it probably would have been a struggle to get in it, or I would have been uncomfortable all night. Again, this dress was wonderful, so far my favorite one from RTR, it was hard to give her back. You won't be disappointed in this one.
