Stunning!
This dress was a knockout!! I'm 5'10", 150lbs, and athletic. I typically wear a 4L, but sized up to a 6R and it was perfect for my event where I needed to move a lot. It hit just above the floor in flats. If I was wearing heels at all I would have definitely gone with the long. It was comfortable, perfect in the waist (even though I'm long waisted, and perfect with my broad shoulders. It's just beautiful too!! I was so happy with my rental after several false starts.

Stunning but comically small!
I'm 5'10", 150lbs, and athletic. I usually wear a 4L, and they were out of other sizes so I risked it. Ha! The 4R was comically small. I actually had my friend who typically rents a 0R or a 2R from RTR try it, and we couldn't zip it on her! I could get it about 4 inches from the top, but my hips and thighs were squished and the lace overlay kept riding up. If I was going to rent this I would try a 6L. The dress really is stunning and so unique! Just make sure to size up if you have hips, thighs, or a ribcage!

This dress is stunning!!
This dress fit almost perfectly!! I'm 5'10", 150, and athletic and it was the perfect length and so comfortable! The only problem was that it was a touch too big in the waist, probably because I'm long waisted. I didn't end up wearing it because I wanted something a little more formal, and a little more fitted, but I really did love it. I would have liked to try the 2L, to see if it was any better.

Love, love, love
I love this dress. It's cute, flattering, and so comfortable. I'm actually going to buy it because I don't want to send it back! I'm 5'10", 150, and athletic and it fit me like a glove! The only thing that others might worry about is that it's very low cut. It came down to my bra and if it shifts a little you might show off the edge of a bra cup. It didn't really bother me though.

Beautiful dress! I had the worst time choosing!
This dress was beautiful and comfortable. I sized up from a 4R to an 8R because of the other reviews. I think the 6L might have been the best bet for me. The 8R was definitely short, but if I had had cute shoes I would have been ok with that. It was also a little big in the waist. The hips were comfortable, but I might have been ok a little tighter. If you have an athletic build I would suggest going up one size. If you also have hips and thighs, you might want to try two. I would have had no chance with the 4!

Love this dress, it's super cute and fun!
I'm 5'10", 150lbs and athletic. I usually wear a 4. The 2 was very snug on me in the ribs, but fit everywhere else. The 3 fit in the ribs, but was a little loose in the bust. I ended up not wearing this because I wanted something more formal, but I loved this dress. I would totally wear it to a date night!

I didn't end up wearing it. It wasn't formal or unique enough for me.
The 6L was too big on me. I'm 5'10", 150lbs and athletic. It was the backup size, I normally wear a 4 and that one was perfectly sized. I'm long waisted, so the ruffle at the waist was actually a little high (it should have hit at my smallest point) and made me look bigger than I am. The length was great in flats, just above the ground. It would have been a little short in heels. The material was pretty, but my event was over the top. I would wear this to a semi-formal event, or even just to dress up for a night out.
