In between sizes
I ended up choosing the larger of the two dresses that were sent to me (6, 8). The 8 was probably a tad larger and looser fitting than I would have liked with the arms being slightly baggy. I will say for a gal with very long arms, that the length was quite generous (not too long or short). I passed up the smaller size, because even though it hugged my chest and hips nicer, the material under my arms was too tight and didn’t allow me to comfortably lift them up. I went to a wedding so I knew I’d be hugging a lot of people and dancing, so I wanted something that was comfortable even at the expense of it not fitting as nicely as I would have liked. My shoes in the photo are about 2” tall.

Maybe not for tall girls
I consider myself between average and tall height and for me personally the dress was a little too short. This didn’t keep me from wearing it and I got tons of compliments all night! Im usually a small and ended up going with the medium. I was also able to wear a normal bra without any of the straps or the back of the bra showing. I probably could have worn without a bra because the lining was very nice, but wanted to have a more filled out/uniform look. I was wearing 2” heels and I would have preferred that the dress at least reach my shoes. The slit was perfect for a work party. I felt glamorous all night and my husband thought so too. ❤️

Very beautiful & classy for a work function
Unfortunately I did not end up wearing either of my two sizes due to unforeseen events that prevented me from attending my work Christmas party. I still wanted to try on in case I happened to like it and it’s available for next year. The only subtle complaints is that the bust was a little big/loose, but nothing I would have had to worry about exposing myself from. The smaller size for me much better for this reason (4). The length is very generous considering I am 5’7” w/o heels. I usually have to order a long, but glad I didn’t! The material was a little itchy around the top part that comes close to the neck but would not have prevented me from wearing it out. I was super surprised and excited by the color changing sparkles from a gold to a blue hue, so pretty. The neckline would have been perfect for my work party, keeping it classy enough, but with a high slit for a sexy touch. My husband absolutely loved it, and is requesting I wear it next year if it happens to be available.

Size up possibly 2 sizes!
I am usually a size 6, and the 8 that was my back up was still a little too tight. Going up stairs was definitely a struggle with how narrow the bottom was. The top fit well - if I had gone up another size, the top would have definitely been too big. On the plus side, I didn’t have to wear a bra. The top was also quite lower cut than I was expecting, so I felt the need to pull it up every once in a while. As a repeat RTR customer, this was probably the poorest fitting and most uncomfortable dress I’ve rented so far. I have rented about 8 dresses in the past few years.

Fit not quite proportionally, but great look for a summer wedding
This dress is not for girls who have a curvy figure with a small bust. The size 4 fit a little snug around the waist but the area around the armpit was gaping out with extra material. My back up size (6) would have been more comfortable but with how loose the top was fitting I would have risked exposing myself, and I didn't have fashion tape. In this case I sacrificed comfort for a better fit. The lining was enough for me to wear without a bra which was a plus.

I got compliments literally all night!!
This dress was smokin' hot! I felt so sexy and everyone at my work party was complimenting my dress all night long. Similar to a few other ladies who also rented this dress, I do wish it had come in long sizes. The size 6 was snug but not too tight for me. I personally prefer my formal dresses to be brushing the floor just a little when wearing heals, but this definitely wasn't a deal breaker for wearing the dress. The slit was the perfect height too.

Glad I ordered a backup dress
My rib cage was a bit wide for the size 4 to fit me, but RTR didn't have a size 6 available to rent. I love the idea of a romper with a detachable skirt; that is why I risked renting this one without a backup size available. This definitely would have been a show-stopper if I was able to rent the correct size.

Very pretty - nice for work party
I found this dress to run a little small as I have worn size 2 or 4 in other RTR dresses and a 6 felt pretty good. It felt a little stiff to move in considering that it is covered in sequins, but I guess there's not much to do about that and it was designed to fit a little snug. I was able to dance just fine but bending arms repeatedly could get awkward and uncomfortable.

Fit me like a glove!!
This dress was fairly comfortable; however, the elastic around the arms was a bit too tight. I wore this out for my 30th Birthday bash out on the town. I absolutely LOVED the color. Aside from the arms it was very comfortable, and the fabric is very stretchy and forgiving. The larger of the two sizes was too big on me in the chest/torso/leg area but the sleeves were a little more comfortable - so I went with the smaller size for an overall better fit, sacrificing a little comfort.

Very classy - with a little bit of skin!
Overall, this dress runs large. I normally wear a small or medium and ended up wearing the x-small. The off-the shoulders design and the stunning zipper definitely bring the look together. A friend of mine said it reminded her of the dress that Anastasia wears to her "business meeting" with Christian Grey in the movie Fifty Shades of Grey. ;) Very sexy, but still very classy, it was perfect for attending a wedding in Las Vegas. In order for it to hug my body the way I wanted it to, I wore the x-small, but with that in mind you will need assistance zipping up the back. Loved the color too. At first, when I put it on, I thought the front wasn't supposed to bunch up like it did, but after looking at the picture online, I determined it was part of the look. I would definitely rent this one again.

Definitely a show-stopper! Not for the shy or modest - but I loved it!
I wore this out to go dancing in Las Vegas after a wedding (did not wear to the wedding, nor is it appropriate). My husband loved how it looked on me - especially since it showed so much skin! Fashion tape is a must - otherwise it will feel like your bust is going to pop out at any second. I wore fashion tape, but it eventually wore out and had to be removed, then I was constantly adjusting myself so that I didn't expose anything by mistake. Overall, the sizing runs large. I normally wear a small or medium, and boy am I glad I ordered the extra small as my back-up size. I went off of other customers' photos/comments, and it worked out great! This was perfect for Vegas, it caught the light perfectly and shimmered so much.

Lots of compliments! Not the most comfortable or functional, but definitely super cute.
Although this romper wasn't the most comfortable (lace didn't have much give), it was super cute, and I received lots of compliments. It worked out for me because a doubled as a wedding guest and the bride and groom's videographer. I wanted something that looked classy, but didn't want to wear a dress or skirt that could risk wedding guests looking up at my bottom when doing my videographer thing. The black lining on the inside is NOT attached - so it kept sliding down. Thank goodness I was wearing a nude colored bra, otherwise it would have been very noticeable. The lining seemed to be a big too big for the inside of the dress; I think this contributed to the problem. The strap kept sliding of my shoulders and it was very uncomfortable/difficult to reach underneath the lacey top part to slide it back up onto my shoulders.

Everyone was complimenting all day and night!! Classy with a hint of sexy flare!
Fit like a glove; true to size! I wore the 4 and also ordered a 2. This was my first time with RTR, I could not have been happier! I found a couple girls on RTR who wore this same dress who were my height, weight, bra size, and shape and it worked out perfectly!! Highly recommend - 10 stars!
