This dress was cute but not quite formal enough for my event so I wore a different dress I had rented. It was definitely shorter than I would imagine - it reached the ground and I'm only 5'5"!

This dress fit like a glove and was very flattering and comfortable! I was surprised that the 8R barely reached the ground on me (I'm 5'5") so taller girls beware! The 8P fit me a little better but would have been too short. I would definitely recommend this dress - it was so fun!

I wore this for a family wedding where I was in a few formal photos. The dress was perfect for the occasion (a formal wedding at beach front country club), with so many fun details to make it special. The pattern was fun and made the dress look even more flowy than it already was. The length was perfect for 3 inch heels. The adjustable straps helped to improve the fit, and the back was just revealing enough. I used a stick-on bra as the fabric was thin in the front - it helped me feel more comfortable. I really wanted (and needed) the 8R but it was unavailable, so I put in a few stitches to pull in the waist for a smaller, more flattering fit (they came right out and you can't even tell where they were!). I got compliments all night! Wish i had more reasons to wear this dress!!

At the last minute the dress I wanted was not fit for shipping, so RTR sent this in its place. This dress was so short! At 5'5" I've never had a maxi barely hit the ground without shoes on. The fit was all over the place too- too loose up top, especially the buttons behind the neck (it just hung down my back), then a bit tight through the hips/legs. Maybe this will work well for some girls, but it was way off the mark for my style, occasion, and body type!!

This statement necklace brought the dress I rented up that extra notch to help me feel polished and put together! I noticed it did flip over a few times, but nothing worth complaining about.
