This is my first experience with RTR and I will say it was spectacular. The reviews of this dress helped make my decision on the 8R easy, as I was a little apprehensive at ordering a Regular when I am tall and like to wear heals. The length was perfect for my 34" legs, and the bodice fit perfectly on my less fortunate bust. Other reviews report the bodice running a little small, and I would have to agree for those more for more chesty than I. The zipper is particulary hard to work at the waist seam, where the bodice meets the skirt. However, once fastened, it holds everything in place beautifully. The quality of the material was very nice and held up well on the dance floor... the skirt is more straight than it looks, and therefore large strides are a challenge. Accessories: 3" white wedge sandles and black chunky earrings. I really loved this dress and highly recommend it!
