Beautiful color and fit
The color is beautiful, and I thought it created a really nice shape in the waist and hips. I could have worn the 4R, but my husband said the 2R was sexier. I didn't have to wear shapewear or other special garments. The 2R was damaged/torn on the side on the zipper, but I made it work. Beware if you have hips. This dress is not stretchy, so you might feel a little restricted (getting in and out of the car was interesting). Also, this dress gets very wrinkled on the bottom and will need a good steam. I wore the dress with Lulu Frost Nicandra Drop Earrings and it was lovely.

Beautiful color
I ended up wearing the Medium instead of the Small, simply because the Small was pretty scandalously tight. Perhaps if I was going to an event other than a wedding (and if I hadn't eaten so much in the days prior!) I would have worn the Small. My only comment on the dress is that the top portion (the straps) was pretty loose and stretched out. I think it was like that, because the dress is a bit difficult to put on. Other than that it was good. I wore a backless sticky bra, which was enough for a small chested person like me. I wore Spanks to smooth out my silhouette, and the seams and lines of the Spanx went undetected because the dress is a lovely lace.

Just the right amount of POP
I did not end up wearing these for my event, because I wore a different dress. However, here is a picture and a quick review. They are light in weight and just the right amount of classy pop of color. I got them to originally go with the Badgley Mischka Ivy gown and they went together beautifully.

Classy but Sassy, just remember to size up!
I know it is hard to pick a size after reading SO MANY reviews on here so let me spell it out for you: size up (the rib cage area is very tight) and if you are 5'3" and plan on wearing heels get the Regular length. End of story, no debating needed. I got the 4P and it fit great, I just had to wear flats due to the length. Other than that it is a beautiful, comfortable dress that accentuates all of the right places and no shapewear is needed (hallelujah!). My original dress was damaged beyond repair and RTR was able to replace it with this gorgeous number. They are truly amazing!

Beautifully made
I did not end up wearing this dress, but I tried it on and wanted to share my input. The sequins were securely and beautifully sewn on. It is true that the sequins will rub your arms, but it is nothing unbearable. The arm holes are a little small, so the fabric rubs the armpit area. The top portion was loose on me because I am very small chested, but the top seems to have good construction and boning to accommodate ladies with a larger chest. Overall a very pretty dress and lovely green color. I recommend renting the Emerald Nouveau Drop earrings if you like to match.

Pretty Color and Easy to Wear
I rented this dress for a military formal dinner. As other ladies have mentioned, it runs small, simply because of the top portion (around the ribs). The zipper is also tricky, so plan on having someone help you. The color is beautiful and the fabric is light and doesn't cling to any unwanted lumps or bumps. No shapewear needed! The bodice has some padding and structure, so that is also a plus. Overall, it was another fabulous dress from RTR. I would recommend to anyone who needs a light, unique summer gown that is low-fuss.

Big and Goudy
I ordered these to complement my orchid/fuchsia dress, but they were much bigger than I expected. The largeness of the gold and aqua colored stones made them look a little cheap, to me anyways. I put them on and my fiancé said, "Oh...those are... different." I did not end up wearing them. I would suggest these earrings A) if you're the type of girl who usually wears big statement pieces or B) if you are willing to commit to wearing them with conviction all night.

Beautiful color and cutout back!
The color of the dress is awesome, and my boyfriend loved it. Unfortunately the flash in the first photo alters the color a bit, as it is a beautiful purple/fuschia. I was able to wear a strapless bra and nude shapewear underneath to smooth out lines. The fabric is a light, jersey material, so it may show imperfections you would rather not highlight! I would also think this dress would look better on someone with a fuller bust, since I am small-chested. Definitely using RTR for a wedding in July. Clean dresses, prompt delivery, and foolproof return process.
