Nice cut and generous sizing in the top, but the fabric was thin and casual.
I didn't end up wearing this dress. My event was a party and the fabric was just too thin, making the dress more casual and summery. I think this would work for an outdoor summer event, like a dinner party, but not for where I was going.

Sexy without being too revealing
I wore this to a party where I wanted to be dressy but not too glitzy. The waist on this dress was tight since the surrounding fabric stretches, but the ribbon trim does not! The sleeves were also long, but I ended up pushing them up to bracelet length so that worked. All in all, a great look and I got a lot of compliments.

Such A Tease Dress
Elizabeth and James
Size Worn: M
Usual Size: 6

Cute and flirty
I ordered this for a work holiday party. I'm 5' 6.5" so initially I was worried it would be too short but the length was fine. The tulle on the Size 8 was a bit raggedy so I ended up going with the 6 for better overall fit as well as better condition. It was a little tight in the chest but I wear a 32F/G so that's to be expected. I got numerous compliments throughout the night! Loved it.

Beautiful dress but very long
I wore this dress to a gala and it definitely fit the bill. The sizing was a little off though. In Italian sizing, a 46 is usually a 10 though RTR described it as an 8. I ended up wearing the 46 so that it fit in the bust (I wear a DDD) and because of the length. Though I got a 46R, the dress was really, really long. I'm 5'7", wore 5.5 inch heels and still had to pick up the skirt to walk! RTR, you may want to hem this one a little more!

Bust too tight.
Unfortunately, I couldn't wear this dress because of the tight bust. I thought if I sized up, I could pull it off, but no luck. Also, the "long" was really, really long! I'm 5'7" and tried it on with 4.5" heels and the hem still puddled on the floor! It was a beautiful dress though. Sad I couldn't make it work.
