This dress is even more beautiful that I anticipated! The print and the front slit add a little fun to this otherwise conservative cut. It was almost a little tight (which also made it a little less conservative!)--the zipper was just a touch hard to pull up and was slightly tight around my neck when fully zipped. That said, I wore my hair down so ended up leaving it unzipped slightly (for my comfort) and it wasn't noticeable. The material is on the thicker side which made it a nice choice for the season and made me a little more comfortable since it was on the tighter side. I'd recommend sizing up for your backup. The only real negative about this one was the length. I'm 5'5" and wore 3" heels...and it was still about an inch too long. Used a little fashion tape though and that did the trick. My backup was another Solace London pick and the length in the size 8R was just right...so guess there's a little inconsistency with the lengths within the brand. Oh well. Would definitely try another style by Solace London in the future!

At 7 months pregnant, I was scrambling to find a dress that would work for a black tie event. Thankfully I found this on RtR and saw that it worked for several other pregnant ladies...so I gave it a go. I'm a (pre-preg) size 2/4 and the 4 was snug, but worked. I think the 6 would have been a bit too long. I wore 3.5"-4" heels with this dress and it was near perfect. The bust was a little tight, and the chiffon panels at the bust bunched up a little, but overall the dress was wonderful (and comfortable...a big plus).
