Form fitting navy cocktail dress
I loved this dress. Very pretty neckline and the lacy area looks so feminine and pretty. If you are a true 8 with no hips, the size 8 will fit you perfectly. My one issue was the dress kept twisting on me as I moved thruout the evening. I had to keep adjusting it and that was annoying. Not sure why it did that either?

Lela Rose
I love almost all things Lela Rose, but NOT this one. It was so large on the bottom that I thought a mistake was made in making this dress. Nothing about it fit me right. And, the fabric no longer seems to have the silkiness you would expect of her dresses.

Pretty purple knit
This dress was suggested by my customer service rep, as my first selections didn't fit and I needed something rushed out for my event today. It's a pretty purple dress, but I think it's more appropriate for the Fall as it's a knit fabric and just didn't feel like "Spring time" to me. The fit was true to size, but my back-up was the dress that fit me better so I chose to wear that instead.

Pretty and Feminine Blush colored dress
This dress is so pretty. It is definitely one I wish I owned. Blush pink with lots of lace detailing from the sides to the entire back from the waist up. Many times I can wear a size 6, but it would never do in this dress. It's somewhat tight across the hips if you have any hips at all. If you have a narrow body style, this dress will look so pretty on you. It is cinched in at the waist and makes for a very pretty silhouette. Hit me right at the top of the knee as shown by the model. Do plan to wear nubra with this dress as the entire back has lace.

couldn't wear this dress
Doesn't this dress look fantastic on the RTR model? I was sure it would look great on me, but it wasn't becoming at all. Too large. Made me look frumpy. If you're long and willowy, go for it.

Beautiful dress....
This dress actually fit me well except it was a little large along the bust line for me. I was planning to wear this to my youngest son's Senior Dinner when I came down with the Norovirus. There was no way I could go anywhere. One of the saddest days of my life as I had worked on the Senior Video for 9 months and wasn't able to be there to watch it.

They worked!
I was really doubtful these were going to work, but they did. They stuck in the same place all night, didn't move an inch and allowed me the freedom to know "the girls" were in place.

Beautiful blues.....
Loved this dress. Fits like a glove. Didn't gap anywhere. The length hit me right at the top of the knee. There is some stretch to the fabric so I think it will fit almost anyone who is a true size 8. Loved how different I looked from a sea of black and white in the room.

Big Glam Factor.
Beautiful blues that will make anything you're wearing more glam. After two hours, I started to feel the "pinch" but to be expected with earrings this large (atleast 2"plus) so there's some weight to them. But, they are truly a Wow factor.

Too much dress for me....
RTR believes in customer service and proved it with my order. I had ordered another dress in two sizes. One of those was returned badly damaged so RTR called and offered to send a second selection. This was the one I picked as I had ordered the same dress in the cocktail dress over two years ago. I couldn't wear the 6R or the 8R. They both gapped on me. Too much material in the skirt. The entire bodice was gapping. My breasts were totally exposed....not a pretty look. I could have used fashion tape, but I wouldn't have been able to move to dance. Fortunately, for me, the other dress which I ordered in the 6R fit like a glove.

This dress flows beautifully and feels good when you walk. It has movement.
Fit true to size. Exactly the right length for my 3" heels. It's a glamorous gown with the scooped out back. Tried the Nubra for the first time. They worked, although they don't provide lift, just cover. No jiggle. Removing them was a bit of an ouch....more stick than I expected. I was the only girl in a room of over 700 in this luscious blush pink. I love having the "stand-out" dress. If you want movie star glamour, this is the dress for you.

Lacy Luxe party dress
I ordered this dress for my back-up for a wedding, so I didn't end up wearing it as it didn't look quite as good on me as the Badgley Mischka I chose in a sequin pink. This dress was much longer on me than what is shown on the model. It hit me below the knee. It is a much heavier lace than I anticipated, but that would not have kept me from wearing it. It didn't fit me in the bodice as well as it appears on the model also. It was a little bit lower exposing my strapless bra. It is very pretty and well constructed.

Unwearable....for all the wrong reasons
This dress is pretty, sweet and would have been fine if it didn't reek of cleaning chemicals. It was totally unwearable. After leaving it to air out for a couple of hours and no change, I packed it up and resent it to RTR. I wasn't going to try and cover it with perfume because that would just make it worse for the next person. Oh and what appear to be big dots, are actually little swirls of cream color...sort of an abstract circle on a solid color. Wish I could have worn it but there was no way.

Beautiful to look at ,.,.
But, neither the 6 or the 8 fit me. It was too big in the top and the 6 was more like a 4 on the bottom. The 8 top was way too big on the top and the bottom still didn't fit me right. Didn't work out for me.

Head turning dress....
I loved how I looked in this dress. It fits pretty tight. The particular dress that was sent to me needing some mending around the belt and one of the straps but I didn't have time to do any of that. Just wore it anyway. It was a little tighter than I expected. I would probably order the size you usually wear and one larger just to make sure. Very easy to accessorize too. Flattering bust line.

So cute, but way too small for me
I loved everything about this dress (on the model). It just didn't work for me. Too small for my body. Too short. I was hoping it would be only an ince or two from the top of my knee but this was definitely mid thigh. I hated not being able to use it.

Cute, flirty dress
This is a very fun dress to wear. You feel good in the lightweight fabric and it's easy to accessorize...black, white. Lots of choices. It's a stretchy fabric so there's lots of room in this one. Didn't fit tight at all.

Classy, lady-like dress....
This dress is most appropriate for luncheons, bridal or baby showers and parties for women. Other women appreciate the details of this dress. The skirt was a little bit large and long on me, but because we were seated at a luncheon for most of the time, it was fine. Very well made and the fabrics looked great.

disappointed...
I usually can wear Milly is size 6, but I ordered the 8 based on the reviews I read here. It was high waisted on me and looked ridiculous. I had to send it back unworn.
