Amazing structured dress!! Great for a girl with curves !
I chose this dress because I was looking for a fun dress for a wedding I was attending. And this dress delivered! I ordered the 12 and the 14, I went with the 14 because it's a very structured dress and the 12 wouldn't zip over my 36DD Tata's. I wore spanx stockings, but the brocade material is so thick I didn't really need shape wear. I was not a huge fan of how the skirt sort of belled out on the bottom, but I got over it. The skirt hugged all my curves, and accentuated my hourglass figure. It was also comfy! I got tons of compliments, people told me that I had the best dress of the night. Except for the beautiful bride of course! I would order again or even buy this dress!

Very flattering, a bit revealing...
I ordered the 12 and 14. I ended up wearing the 12, it seemed to run a bit big. I picked this dress for my husband's work holiday party. I chose this dress because I'm 3 1/2 months pregnant, and wasn't sure if I'd have a belly. The dress was a pretty good fit, but ran a little short, I'm 5'8", and it hit at mid ankle. I also experienced weird bunching in the back, as others had mentioned. I was able to wear the dress with a strapless bra no problem. It does really showcase the girls (I am a 36 DD) my husband was a fan...I felt it was a bit much. I don't know if I'd rent again, but it was comfy and did the trick.

Great fit and color!
I rented this dress for a wedding, I was in the middle of moving and renting seemed the best option. The dress arrived when promised. I had gotten the extra size since I have pro and it's free. I'm pretty consistently a size 12, and the 12 fit just fine. But, I wore the size up because it was just a bit longer and I preferred the look. The picture does not do the dress justice! The color is more blue in person, more teal, less green. Which is nice, but I did end up matching some of the bridesmaids... The fit was perfect, it hugged my curves in all the right places, and I got TONS of compliments. I was sad to return the dress, and I would totally rent it again!

Tons of compliments!!
I wore this dress for a business school formal, the theme was masquerade. The dress was very low cut, which was fine for this particular occasion. This was the only picture I had, and it does not do the dress justice. I was told by more than one person that I was the best dressed at the party. This dress was perfect!

Great fit!
I had actually ordered an entirely different dress, but my size was returned ruined two days prior to my event. RTR had pulled some suggestions, but none worked, so I asked them to overnight this dress. They were more than helpful! This dress worked great! The top was a bit snug, I couldn't wear a bra, and I was still spilling over. I'm a 36DD, but luckily the dress was supportive enough That I didn't need a bra. I'm 5'8" with a long torso, and the dress felt a bit short in the back. But, once I got to the event and got dancing I didn't notice. There was also the small thing of the belt they sent being a size zero, I obviously didn't use it. The dress felt like it needed a belt, so I used one of my own, and it worked great! I was getting compliments on the dress all night. I felt beautiful! The fit and fabric of the dress were such, that I had no need for shape wear. And, I ALWAYS wear shape wear. Perfect for curvy girls, but anyone bigger than a DD might have trouble with the top fitting. I would rent it again for sure!

Wish they had one size up
I didn't actually order this dress, I had ordered a Vivienne Westwood dress in the same color. However, the dress was returned ruined 48hours before my event, so RTR sent this as a consolation, with another dress and the dress I had ordered in size down. I was skeptical as I am a 12, and this dress was a 10 with no stretch. I was pleasantly surprised when it slid over my ample hips and bum, I'll be it snugly. I loved the fabric, and the dress was so gorgeous, I really wanted it to fit. I had my husband shoehorn me in, and get it zipped, but once it was zipped I had some very attractive back cleavage in the open back. I wasn't able to wear a bra, and it was not a flattering look. So, I didn't get to wear is, so sad. I think the 12 or maybe the 14 would have fit beautifully. I may try to order this dress in a larger size, if they have it, for a future event. I can't stress how beautiful the fabric and cut of this dress were. I can't wait to wear it in the right size.

Wish I could have worn it
I ordered the dress in a Large for a school semi-formal. However, I got an email the night before the dress was set to arrive, two days before the event. The email was to let me know that the size L had been returned damaged beyond repair, so the m was being sent along with two other similar dresses at no extra charge. I tried the M hoping beyond hope that it would work, but alas it did not. The body fit fine, hugging my every curve. But, the arms were so tight I couldn't move them, and the dress was a bit short. The dress has a lot of stretch, and would look great on an hourglass figure. I'm sad that they didn't have the large, I think it would have been a knockout!
