I attended a wedding with my husband and two young kids, so needed an option that looked nice but was comfortable enough for me to move around in, and this fit the bill. It was simple but pretty (I dressed it up with sparkly shoes) and let me comfortably chase after my toddler and dance with my preschooler. It draped nicely - it wasn't too big that I looked shapeless, but I didn't have to worry about every little bulge. For reference, I am 5'7'', currently about 160 lbs., and a 36F, and the small actually fit fine. I could have used a bit more room in the bust, but the size medium was a bit too big in the body. Would definitely recommend!

I usually prefer sheath dresses, but thought this style might be more flattering on my post-baby body. It didn't work out for me - I felt like it made me look larger than I am - but it's still a cute dress that would be appropriate for many different types of events. RTR's customer service was, as I've experienced in the past, top-notch - the dress arrived late, they shipped me a few others to try, and eventually refunded my order when none of the dresses worked out. At first I was angry my dress didn't arrive on time, but their customer service went above and beyond and I really appreciated that.

I wore this to dress up an LBD for a wedding, and it was perfect. It's a statement necklace without being too much or looking gaudy or cheap at all. This is the second time I rented the necklace and it was perfect both times.

This dress was amazing - it fit like a glove and I got tons of compliments on it. It was perfect for a black tie wedding but would be good for a cocktail attire event too. I was concerned that the 6 would be too tight around my bust, and it was tight but fine. Because it is low cut, I'd size up if you're concerned about the bust or want it to be more conservative.

This dress is gorgeous - the color was perfect for a summer wedding and the length allowed me to wear flats to the outdoor ceremony. I was concerned about sizing, but for approx. measurements 34DD-27-36 the 8 was the right size. My one slight complaint is that I felt the waistline accentuated the least flattering part of my stomach, but that could have been solved with a pair of Spanx. The silky fabric might wrinkle a bit in a suitcase, but mine was pretty unwrinkled and I used a low iron to smooth it out.

This dress was gorgeous for a wedding I attended - flattering and elegant but not overtly sexy. I was concerned about sizing - I wanted to order a 6 but that size was unavailable, so I went with a 4 and 8. I ended up wearing the 8 because the 4 was too tight around the bust. I wear a 34DD bra and the 8 fit perfectly up top.
