Arms don’t stretch at all
Don’t get this if you have even slightly larger upper arms than average. I got this to potentially wear for a concert but I can’t move my arms in it. I’m usually between sizes 4-6 but RTR suggested a 4 (i have 37” bust, 28” waist) I couldn’t even zip it up past my waist. The arms were so tight and stiff that I don’t think even a 6 would work for the upper body, but an 8 would be too big in the waist . Also not great for larger busts since there is ZERO stretch

Perfect!
My measurements are bust 37”, waist 28.5, hips 38.5 and this fit like a glove. I would not have been able to wear it if it had been any smaller in any of those areas, but it didn’t feel too tight either. I’m only 5’2” and got the 4R. It touched the ground with no shoes on but didn’t drag. I wore 3.5” heeled cowboy boots with it and the length was perfect, but I would’ve been okay with another inch of length. Glad I didn’t get the 4P! The fabric does have a little give but it’s technically non-stretch. I was worried the allover lace would look too “mother of the bride” but I really liked this dress!

Not for larger busts
I loved this dress, it moves well and is a nice color and feels so soft! But if you have a larger bust there’s no way to arrange the fabric around them without putting them on full display. There’s also a seam straight down the middle which looks way more obvious when your boobs are stretching out the pleats. For reference I’m about 38” bust and this is my recommended size (either 4 or 6 in US sizes) It would look better on someone whose upper body allows the pleats to stay pleated and not stretch them out.

Gorgeous dress, heads up for petite sizes!
I actually ordered a 4P (not 4R like it says), and I think it’s true to size. I desperately wanted it to work because it’s gorgeous and unique and you don’t see this color every day in formal wear. Also I love mock necks! The biggest problem with this dress is that I can’t raise my arms. There is no stretch at all, so it’s not that it’s just uncomfortable to do so. I physically can’t get my arms parallel to the floor. Big problem for me because I was planning on wearing it to play violin in a performance. Kinda need my arms to have freedom! PETITES! I’m 5’2” and the length of both P and R dresses have decent length depending what shoes you want to wear. But this is a warning if you have short legs. The sheer part on the bottom is the same length as the R sizes, they just moved it up higher to make it petite length! The R dress had the sheer part start closer to my knees but the P dress was sheer part started at my m my upper thighs. High enough I don’t think I could sit in it without my butt showing under the sheer part. It wasn’t entirely socially inappropriate to wear in public but it was too revealing for my event.

waist fits as expected, but too small in bust with no stretch (I have a 36.5" bust, 27.5" waist))
Didn't wear it because it doesn't fit on top. The length went to my ankles and I'm 5'2"
