Caliente!!
This color is absolutely gorgeous. The cut and design is incredibly sexy and elegant. I am so very glad I read the reviews because it definitely runs a bit small. Now do keep in mind this is a British designer, so a US 6 is usually a 10R. It was a bit tight on me, I am at about a size 8 due to 10 extra lbs. 😉anyway, this dress is ideal for those with hourglass shape with smaller breasts. 🙋🏽♀️ i

Extraordinarily Small Fit
I could not wear this. I’m all for sexy and feminine but this dress runs is at least 2 if not 3 sizes smaller. The size slit goes up to just above mid thigh and I’m only 5’4”.

Easy, Cheerful and Femenine
We hosted a Cinco de Mayo cocktail party. I’m slightly above my usual weight. 5’4” 139 lbs, so nothing in my closet fit and I refuse to buy when overweight. 🤷🏽♀️ This dress fit comfortably and was so easy to accessorize. The fabric is flows and is very lite. Loads of compliments.

Lovely
The color and quality is wonderful. I’m small 34B, so I wish I had been able to get it in a smaller size for a better fit. I paired it with iridescent sequence pants and a Jacker not on the phone. This was a fun gala and seemed the right number for it.

Spanx this Baby
Stunning Color! I mean it. I would purchase this dress if they had it in Petite size. I’m pretty fit, not skinny but a bit muscle and curvy. What I found is as I moved the sleeves were just too long for my frame. I think it may fit best on a tall gal. The fabric leaves no room for bulging, so get you finest spanx on and all is well. The weight of this is perfect for cool days.

Don’t rent Bad Stitching
So, I absolutely loved the fabric’s print and feel. Unfortunately, I didn’t read the reviews because this type of fabric usually look great on hourglass shape. However, the mistake was made by seeing the lining to the skirt on the sides, zipper and back. It doesn’t matter if you are fit (unless you have no curves) this fabric gathers and it makes it impossible to wear. 😩

Unflattering
This just didn't do anything for my hourglass figure. The fabric is a bit dull and it fits very long on my 5'4" height.

It was very long on my 5'4" height and the fabric shows even the slightest imperfection on the body.

Just ok
The fabric has lots of stretch. It is not forgiving at all, so Spanx are highly recommended.

I decided not to wear this items. The fabric is a bit stiff and thus did not fit me well.

Loved this fabric, cut and fit. Do order a size up as it is not at all forgiving around the waistline.

This fabric is heavier than expected. It will probably be more of a Fall/Winter dress with tights and booties. I purchased this dress and the only issues I'm having is that the zipper is quite difficult to close.

I'm still getting use to this new fabric. I like this dress. it was perfect for work. It does fit small, if you're even slightly over your usual size just go ahead and go up a size.

Elegance and sensual
I'm in love with how BM understands a woman's body shape. The color was stunning against my skin tone. I weigh 129 lbs and I'm 5'4". The length was about an inch longer than ideal but it worked with my stilettos. The fit was a bit snug. So beautiful. I felt incredibly feminine I this dress.

Classic beauty
Loved this dress. Gorgeous rich colors and weave. It does run true to size but please note that the fabric has no stretch and the cut narrows at the hemline, so my 38" hips just barely slipped through. I have a true hourglass figure once it was ok it fit just a little snugly because I'm in that between size 4&6. Lovely dress for any occasion.

Fantastic cut and accentuates very curve. It does run small. I'm 5'4" and weigh 129 lbs and should have worn a size 42 and even 44. The fabric does have stretch which is wonderful yet heads up on wearing seamless undergarments. The one bad thing is that the fabric does tend to work as lint magnet. :-/

F is for Fabulous
I wore this to a business luncheon attended by about 600 guests. The dress is An absolute 10. This fabric is exquisite and it's almost like wearing spanx all over because it hugs your curves like a glove and like a sausage casing. I wear US size 4 or 6. I'm 5'4" and weigh 130 lbs and have an hourglass body shape. The fit was so femenine and got infinite compliments. The unfortunate oops was that somebody else had the same dress on. II didn't realize it until I saw pics on Facebook.

Not so hot
You know how there are dresses that help to enhance your curves... this does not. The fabric on this dress shows every extra oz you carry. So, be sure to order to sizes up so it falls on you. Or order one size up if you're in top shape. The fabric is ok not fabulous. It does have stretch.

This is a pretty dress not luxury feeling just nice. It does run small and it doesn't have any stretch. Unfortunately I was hoping to wear with sandals but the size was just too small. It is also short. I'm 5'4" and weigh 130 lbs. I think I should have ordered a size 6.

Moulin Rouge!!
I absolutely loved how feminine this dress is. The fabric is delicate and the cut is what I call "curvaceous friendly." There is no stretch to this fabric. I happen to have a Bum. So I ordered a size six which fit me loose. I am 5'4" and weigh about 129 lbs now. The last time I measured My waist was 28", and 38" hips. I have a feeling that he size 4 may have fit a little snug, but I'm not sure. Lastly the length was perfect. It fit just at the knee and because it is lace is its seems shorter. I felt sexy and classy all at once.

Femenine version of the Suit
This runs a little small and the fabric does not have a ton of stretch. Best to get one size up for back up. I wore it for a work awards luncheon and it was perfect. Elegant and comfortable. Perfect for the hourglass body type

I wore this to a business women's breakfast and received tons of compliments. I wore it dark blue pantyhose and booties. DVF does tend to run slightly small but this is a wrap dress so it was fine.

Pretty Woman...Sexy and Elegant
Here is the deal. I had purchased two gowns for this season of parties. I decided to give RTR a shot. If it doesn't work no sweat. My hubby saw me trying it on and he said "Wow where are we going?" It accentuates a woman's body in all the right places even for my 138 lbs (at the time). I'm 5'4" and the regular was too long. My only wish is that I could have the option to buy it...at a discount of course. :-p
