Great dancing dress

Beautiful dress for a wedding. Had a nice swing/twirl when dancing. I'm a 34DDD, 5'3", 8 in bottoms and 6 on top. I ordered 6 and 4 based on the reviews and went with the 4 which fit just right. Also ended up going braless and it had enough support. My only complaint is that it was a little heavy sitting in the sun during the ceremony, but it's definitely meant to be a summer dress. As you can see it fits maxi vs midi on me bc I'm shorter.

Good not great

I followed the reviews and got both M and L. I was swimming in the L, but the M did the job. I had to wear spanx since it was a little tighter than I liked in the stomach area. I wore boob tape too but could prob have gone without since there was some boning. The shoulder straps felt like they were digging in while dancing. Dress is thicker and was a good length for me. Overall the dress is good for a black tie winter wedding, but I'd never buy it.

Too small

I rented this for a wedding and fell in love with the dress online. Rookie mistake since this definitely runs small and you need to size up at least once. I got this dress only in one size due to availability, which I'll never do again for RTR. Def recommend sizing up! It also seems VERY form fitting so I'm not confident it would hide stomach areas.

Fun flirty dress

Overall this is a great dress. I steamed it before the wedding and as you can see, after just sitting, it wrinkles quickly. That said, the size 6 was TTS. I didn't even have to wear a bra with the ruching at the top (which is very exciting for my size!!). The dress felt a little snug in the hips when sitting down but I was able to easily dance. Note it was a little tough to get the zipper through the sections of the dress. Overall would recommend! Wore to a Nov wedding in winter.

Flowy, bright dress

Overall, I love this dress. It was very comfortable for dancing, and I liked how it flowed while outside. As other reviews said: 1) the insert is a little short, but it didn't bother me since the overlay was long/flowy. 2) You need fashion tape for the v-neck / chest area. I felt like I was staring down my bra all night, and I kept pulling up the dress to adjust (you can see my bra in one of the photos). Tying the bow in a certain way sort of helped, but it really needed to be kept in place.
