Wasn't my first choice, but sooo many compliments!!!
I had ordered another ML dress from RTR. I could barely get it zipped. I really am a true size 10 and have never had an issue with a 10 not fitting. So after freaking out and calling RTR, they shipped this dress to me. I ordered a 12L because that was all they had left. And oh my goodness, I was so glad the first one didn't fit!!! This dress is gorgeous. The plum color is so rich. The fabric is not heavy and it had the ballgown look I was going for. Strangers complimented me on the street! And I felt so beautiful in it. It does run small because the 12 fit well, when I am normally a 10 like I said. It also is long. I'm 5'8" and wore 3 inch heels and still had some dragging. It does have a small train as well, but I found that beautiful. The only downside of this dress is the amount of fashion tape I had to use to keep my breasts from falling out. They would have fallen out in a second without it. Other than that, it went perfectly!

Wore this for my birthday date!
I really loved the color of the dress. Beautiful and vivid. The downside was the wrap style, it was gaping open a lot throughout the night and I had to watch it. Other than that, I loved it. I want to own it and have the bust sewn so it won't open up! Rent this one!

Candy Swirl Dress

Got this dress for family pictures. Worked perfectly with our color scheme.
I thought it was a bit tight around the waist. And it is short. I mean short. I'm 5'8' and it was barely decent for me to wear. So if you are taller, it may not be the best fit for you. Also, the bust was rather snug. I'm 36C and felt a bit constrained, so if you are over that, then you may want to choose another dress. Other than that, the colors really pop. Nice summery/ spring dress. Can be dressed up or down.

May Flowers Dress

A great dress. Very flattering. Got a lot of complements!!
The fit was forgiving except for the waist. In order to zip it up, I had to turn it to the front so that I could get a good hold on the zipper. The length was LONG! I ordered a regular size length, figuring that that would be perfect (I'm 5'8"), but it was still dragging the ground. Granted, I wore flats to the event so in heels it would have been ok. Otherwise, a lovely dress. Perfect color.

Didn't get the dress.
Never got it. The weather delayed the package arrival and it was 4 days too late. Ended up having to take an emergency shopping trip the last minute, spending way more than what I wanted to spend. RTR did refund the money, but it was disappointing.

One of the dancers at the club leaned down from her spot and said "You look amazing!". :)
Fit is true to size. The beading is really scratchy. I had to wear a cardigan to keep my arms from rubbing against it. I got a lot of compliments on it though!
