So flattering!
Was worried about the slit on the rib not being flattering, but the dress didn’t squeeze me and it really didn’t show that much skin, so it was fine! Perfect length, beautiful color. After reading reviews I thought the 4 would be too tight, but not at all. No spanx necessary - the pleats hid everything in the tummy area.

Need some DDs to fill this out
Fit well on the body and was very flattering, but the boob area was huge. Unless I wore a really padded push-up bra and then used tape, no way there wouldn’t be gapping.

Elegant, Comfortable, POCKETS!
Very comfortable, great length (I'm 5'5" and wore low wedge heels), it has POCKETS! It was perfect for a December formal wedding.

Not flattering if you have a bit of a belly
I'm self-conscious about my tummy, so I really had no business ordering this dress. It was also too long on me (I'm 5'5, 135 lbs). It's so pretty in theory, just not in reality for me :(

Just alright
Considered this dress for a black tie wedding, but went with a different option. The dress was just okay - there wasn't anything super special about it. Pro: it wasn't too tight at all, no spanx needed. Con: very short in the front; I'm 5'5" and with very low heels on, it was 3+ inches off the ground in the front.

Movie Star Status
This was a last minute shipment because my original order wasn't available. This dress was PERFECT. Size 6 was great (I usually tend to wear a 4) and no spanx were needed because of the layers on front - very flattering on my stomach area. Length was great with fairly short heels (2in) and I'm 5'5". It was a black tie wedding and EVERYONE kept complimenting me and more than once I was told I look like a movie star! This is probably the 10th time I've used RTR and this was by far the best look.

So comfortable.
You can definitely go with your usual size or even a size down. Dress was very comfortable and adjustable and I didn't have to wear a bra. BUT I did have to spend a solid 10 minutes ironing the bottom of the skirt underneath the lace because it was all wonky due to shipping in the bag, so definitely plan to have an iron on hand. Other than that, it was solid choice and I got lots of compliments!

So many compliments!
I ordered this as a back-up dress, but fell in love when I tried it on! It fit beautifully and was even flattering around my mid-section, which was a nice surprise. You can't lift your arms up, which was a bummer when trying to dance, but I knew that limitation going into the night. I got so many compliments all night, even from the bride! Highly recommend!
