Beautiful dress; runs small
This dress is beautiful and very well made. It’s VERY form fitting and a little forgiving, so spanx are recommended but not required. It was very comfortable in the body, though it ran incredibly small. I’m 5’0, 135lbs, 34DD and typically a 4 in dresses, but the 6 was so tight in the body and the lower sleeve/strap was cutting off circulation in my arms. The 8 fit perfectly, except the lower strap was still WAY too tight and the upper strap was now oddly floppy. I threw a pin on each sleeve in the back and it ended up working well. The dress is lightweight and was comfortable for an outdoor engagement party (WITH GIANT FANS) in the summer in south Florida. If it weren’t for the sleeves, the dress would’ve been absolutely perfect.

Beautiful date night dress
Wore this for my birthday and felt amazing. The material is very thick, so not for an outdoor, summer event. Wish I could've kept this! Will prob order again at some point, I didn't get great pics in it. I'm 5'0, 135lbs, 32DDD & the 6 fit beautifully.

Beautiful dress for a white party!!
The dress was stunning. More silver than white, but also had gold. I was able to wear champagne colored heels. The back of the dress was beautiful. I typically wear a 4/6 and chose the 6. The dress was more slim-fitting than I would've liked, so I just wore Spanx and everything was fine. No bra needed, but I also have a larger bust altogether.

Awesome dress! Wish I could keep it!
I loved this dress! Fits true to size and the adjustable straps helped a lot. Wish I could've tightened them a touch more, but it was fine. INCREDIBLY LOW CUT, not for the smaller-chested. Very comfortable and looked so much better on than in the pictures!! I seriously wish I could've kept it!!

NOT FOR LARGER CHESTS!!
This dress is ADORABLE. I'm so sad it didn't fit... I am 5'0, 135lbs with 32DDD bust. I usually wear a size 4 in dresses, but per other reviewers, I ordered a 4 and a 6... I probably needed a 10 to be perfectly honest. There is NO give or stretch to the fabric. There is an eye hook and zipper in the back. My chest was SQUISHED. Even after I attempted to put on Spanx, no chance. However, as tight as it was, the shoulder spaghetti straps would fall down--which would DEFINITELY happen in the smaller size as well. The 8 and 10 were no longer available at the time of my rental, but I'm sure neither would've fit either way due to the straps and the material. RTR is sending me a replacement dress (Greylin--Emma Ruffled Dress, FYI), so here's hoping it fits better! The sleeves are adorable, the print is adorable. The cut is a touch sexy, so that was nice. I just wish 1) it were more breathable and 2) the straps were shorter or adjustable. If you have a smaller chest, this dress will work--JUST ORDER A SIZE OR TWO UP!!

Wore for Valentine's dinner
Let me start by saying I LOVED THIS DRESS. It was such a great color with thick material & it fit me well. I wish I'd have been able to get the medium (not available) but the small fit well enough. The picture on the model is NOTHING like the fit in real life. It is WILDLY low cut & wide also (see my photo) & someone with a smaller chest would 100% need to pin it shut more/tape it down/wear a bralette underneath. The cut was perfect for what I was going for and for my body type (32DDD) and I did not need tape or a bra underneath. The thick material also did not allow for much arm movement, but that was fine for dinner--would've been annoying to attempt to dance in. I LOVED the dress & did not want to return it!

INCREDIBLY GLAMOROUS DRESS!!
I am usually a size 4 and it fit beautifully, but I opted to wear the 6P, as it was a little less snug and I didn't want to be uncomfortable. The 4R and the 6P were the same length--so I needed to wear my highest heels, as I am 5'0, 130# w a 32DDD bust. No need for a bra either, so that was helpful. The details on the gown are beautiful. The tulle at the bottom is made up of individual pieces, which gives the dress great movement when walking & dancing. Comfortable to sit in and walk in, just can't take too long of a stride. I love love loved this dress and wish I could've kept it! Received SO many compliments at the gala.
