First Post Vax Wedding!
I got so many compliments with this dress. It's delicate, yet daring. Great for tall girls too! I wore a LR, but the bust was a little loose. Better for a fuller bust.

Photoshoot fun
If you are between a 12-14, but fairly busty: go with a 14W. It allowed for more coverage in the bust area. If you are more pear shaped with a smaller bust, the 12 dips down for a little cleavage. Quality of this dress is great.

Comfortable and fabulous!
This dress is amazing. It's chic, modern yet so comfortable. I felt glamorous without feeling stiff. I can definitely see myself renting this dress again. Almost tempted to purchase it at retail price! I didn't wear a bra with it due to the low cut front, but pasties worked well.

Perfect Accessory for the Big Day!
My original necklace choice wasn't able to be delivered, and of course RTR's customer's service kicked into high gear. I picked this beautiful Oscar de La Renta piece and I think it made my whole outfit. So many compliments, so sparkly, and the perfect mix of classic and glam. It sparkled throughout the entire ceremony on to my husband's suit and face ha!

Rehearsal dinner outfit
An outfit similar enough to be my wedding dress with a sweetheart neckline and a cute culotte design? Count me in! Unfortunately, I wasn't able to fill in the top of the bodice (32DD) and had to hold it in place with bobby pins and my bra (much to my friends' chagrin!). If I went any smaller in sizing, it probably would have resulted in some painful camel toe. Love the design, but not the execution.

Great concept, poor execution.
Fabric had a wonderful knit texture to it. Felt luxurious but comfortable. As a pear shaped woman with larger hips to waist ratio, this style of shift dress was not right for my body type. Rather than gliding over the hip area, it was tight. Also, it was much shorter than anticipated (now looking at photos) but I am 5'9 with long legs. I still wore it out though. I'm probably the only one who noticed the problem areas.

Wine tasting!
While the MR fit in the waist, it was incredibly tight right at the neck. I almost couldn't breathe! I ended up wearing the LR, so it was a little baggy in the chest and waist. As a joke, my sister put on the MR for a photo. I loved the light fabric. It would be a fantastic bridal shower/baby shower guest dress.

Engagement photo perfection
I wear a 6-8 on the bottom and the large fit perfectly with a little breathing room. I'm also tall and the dress was long enough to cover most of my shoes. It's such a fun pop of color and I would definitely wear it again.

Amazing dress!
Love this dress! I would totally buy this dress once it goes on a deep discount, so I'll just continue renting for now. It was perfect for the casual wedding I went to, and you could easily wear this on vacation, out to dinner, or even when you're bloated or pregnant. Very comfortable, and I received tons of compliments!

Last Minute Wedding Invite!
I'm a fairly curvy girl on the bottom, and I was a little nervous about the ruffles, because we're always told to not bring focus down there. However, I thought the dress's ruffles helped to balance out my lower half. The little sleeve bands were kind of funky and didn't add much to the dress in terms of function. Color was great in person!

Ended up as my engagement dress!
This dress is really versatile! I was able to wear it for four separate occasions. I originally bought it as a fun dress to wear to a luau while vacationing in Maui (seen in picture), but while trying it on right before the trip, my now fiancé proposed to me in it! Then I was able to wear it to a family engagement lunch, and for a quick engagement ring shoot that same day. The dress itself is a pretty light cotton and is extremely roomy. I would size down to a 4 and I normally wear a 6-8 on the top and bottom. Ladies with a bigger bust will feel comfortable EXCEPT that it cuts fairly low so you would have to find a bra that can hide. It's a very casual dress, I would wear it to an informal wedding or lunch/brunch date. Note too, there are weird ties at the arms that I don't think are functional/useful.

Comfortable for a long sit down
I ordered a size up (8) because I have a fear of shift dresses as I am pear shaped. Luckily, this dress was closer to a "trapeze" dress where the hips were very comfortable and I could be relaxed for a two hour musical. Love the lace details at the shoulders and the adorable bow in the back (tres 60's mod look). Super cute for a relaxed holiday party or a hot date. Would definitely rent again!

Partying in SF!
This dress means fun - just look at the picture! I ordered a size up (8) but could have worn my true size (6). It was a little loose in the bust, but fit nicely around the waist. I loved the color and how classy I looked. This dress would be great for a formal wedding or winter wedding. I am a true pear and this dress was comfortable and easy to wear.

Didn't end up wearing it.
Ahhh! I could not get the slip past my hips. I wear a size 6/29 typically, and I was going to rip this dress in half if I kept going. I am curvier on the bottom, so if you have curves, order a size up. Not a great dress for pear shapes unfortunately.

Simple but Sexy
Loved the color, and the fabric. It's a little thicker, but nothing too warm. The bust fit well, and I didn't have to wear a bra. Fits well for a pear shaped body. The straps are a little long, but I may have a shorter torso.

Fit for a Fiesta!
I wore this to a Fiesta themed baby shower. I went up a size to fit the skirt part over my hips (pear shape) but the top didn't bag out. This party was pretty casual, so I downplayed my accessories, but I think you could wear this to a wedding and dress it up. My real issue was sitting down, as the skirt is not stretchy at all, and extra material started bunching up in my middle. Probably best for an apple shaped woman.

Sexy, but maybe a little too sleek for this pear.
Probably not the best choice for a pear shape as the bottom was stretching over my hips and the fabric looked loose up top. However I was definitely the best dressed there and received tons of compliments. The cut outs were eye catching and a fantastic detail. Also, loved the samples! Great surprise!
