Bump Friendly Blue FTW!
This dress runs true to hip size- but larger in bust. It is forgiving with the added sheer layer- so go ahead and rent the smaller size. I loved wearing it to our theatre awards ceremony! Compliments all night long! Felt like a goddess in it! Oh- and was selected based on dress for a red carpet interview to ask "who are you wearing?" Fashion interviewer said it was a great choice in color and style! Loved it!

Perfect for a Winter Wedding!
This dress was very pretty and sweet! Fits true to size, and loved that it was forgiving in the hip area. Lots of compliments all night long! Was more sweet than sexy, but that's ok for a nice winter wedding!

Beautiful - but you need small hips!
This dress is lovely - but read what everyone else says. It runs small - especially in the hip area. I'm a 12 on the top and 14 on the bottom and this was TIGHT on the bottom. Didn't end up wearing it, but was such pretty material! Was so sad it didn't fit!

Didn't need to wear the 14 - got a 12 instead!
I'm a 14 on the bottom and a 12 on the top - so sometimes it's hard to find a good dress. This was a FIND! Perfect! This dress is GREAT for curvy girls! It's classy, fun, sparkly and long enough to not be too short. Cute with dangly earrings - great with hair up or down!

Sophisticated and beautiful!
This dress is chic, elegant and still sexy! The lace is beautiful and the keyhole back is so cute! I got compliments all night long. I did have to wear flats if I and I'm 5'6.5', but I was totally fine with that. I'm a true size 12 on the top and between a 12 and 14 on the bottom and the dress still fit! (With spanx- as per usual). This dress is great for curvy girls and is very slimming!

High schoolers take note- young and perfect for Prom.
This was the back up RTR sent to me after my beautiful first choice back up became suddenly unavailable. The fabric is pretty- but for a curvy girl that cut?! Woof. The colors are sailor- like and odd together. If you're in high school and want a prom dress and you're thin as a rail this may be a good pick. If you're a grown lady going to a gala, try another! (And RTR team- if there's another dress-mergency -next time pick from the dresses I've hearted, please!)

Sophisticated and fun - all in one!
I was obsessed with the detailed neckline and the high low hem! I'm glad I went one size up- like the other reviews suggested! I'm 5'7" and between a 12 and 14 and I was thrilled with the fit! Didn't even need spanx! Compliments all night long! This is perfect for any formal occasion- can't wait to try more dresses from RTR.

Curves for Days!
I felt like a bombshell in this - it was low cut and great for my smaller chest. That said, I'm a little hippy and this was snug int the hips. Had to hike it up a little to sit down! But the color was lovely, got tons of compliments and was one of the few dressed in red at a theatre gala! Would rent a size up next time!

This was tight, tight, tight! (and not in the good way!)
This dress was WAY Too tight for me and wasn't flattering material - it would look great on someone who has very little cellulite or is super buff. You could see every little bulge - maybe if I would have gone up to a 14 it would have been better. I didn't ask for a second size, but am thrilled I had another backup gown! (also from RTR)

Stunning & Classic Dress!
The high-low cut of this dress was perfect for a formal wedding! I danced the night away! The v-neck is very flattering and slimming. The fabric is very rich and the color is just superb! I wear between a 10 and 12 and had to go up to the 12 for comfort in the waist - however that made the chest a smidgen too big, as I am small chested. But overall, it was a lovely dress and I got loads of compliments! Can't wait to try the strapless pink high-low version of this dress at a red carpet event this fall!

Stunning dress - fits like a dream!
I got this as my back up dress for an awards show and it remained my back up only because I wanted something a little lighter in color. I am a size 10 and I am a curvy girl and this fit like a dream! It's a little stretchy, but the waist hits at your littlest part of you - so flattering! I recommend getting the long if you want to wear heels and are above 5' 6". The color is this fantastic dark green - I would totally get this for a winter occasion. (and I even saw another girl wearing it at the same Theatre Award Ceremony - and it looked great on her too!)

Sequins are a girls best friend!
I wore this to an awards show and I'm so glad I did! This 12L fit like a dream. I got SO many Compliments! It was a little big on the top, so I wore my padded bra. I usually take a 10, but the 10R was SO short on me, so the 12L was my back up. I am SO glad to have the extra length - I'm only 5'6", but in heels I'm close to 5' 9" and the length is a MUST! The material is stretchy, so I could have gone with a 10 or a 12, but I needed the length. Were the sequins a little scratchy under the arms? A little, but I got over that so fast when I started getting compliment after compliment! Loved it!

Classic and Comfortable!
This dress fit amazing! It hugs all the curves, so break out the spanx if you're not a gym rat! I'm a size 10 and 5' 6.5" and I wore FLATS with this. I like my gowns to go all the way to the ground and that was perfect for me! The material is a little stretchy so that's helpful! The lace overlay is so flattering. I'm small chested, but this dress made me look like I had WAY more than God gave me! Love it!
