Something a little different
Comfortable and true to size. Great that it can be worn with or w/o a bra. I wore the 8 without a bra (would've worn the 10 if I had, since there isn't a lot of stretch/give in the top). As someone else mentioned, it definitely has a little more shimmer/shine in person (nothing over-the-top tho). Also loved the pockets. Easy to move and dance in.

VERY tight up top, best for A & B cups
From the hips down, this dress is comfortable and beautiful. Fun colors, probably great for dancing... but it's probably best for someone with an A or B cup and slim ribcage. I'm the opposite - D cup with a wide ribcage/short torso, so I shouldn't known, based on the reviews, that this wasn't the dress for me. Because I liked it so much, I ignored reviews saying it was tight up top, thinking the material would have some stretch, but it didn't - at all. The next size up wasn't available to order as a backup at that time, so I don't know how that wouldn't worked out. I was disappointed that the dress didn't work for me, but I can't say I wasn't warned! As always, RTR was very understanding and a huge help with the return.

Better w/ a longer torso
I didn't end up wearing this dress because it felt too thick and wasn't very flattering. I needed a dress last minute and the 8R wasn't available when I ordered, so I hoped the 6R would work. It fit, but it honestly looked awful. My short torso/large ribcage didn't work well with the the cut/style. I was also surprised at how heavy & thick the material was. Even if I'd had the next size up, I don't think it would've been the dress for me. Pretty color tho.

Mint Dream Gown
Badgley Mischka
Size Worn: None
Usual Size: 6

Beautiful colors, fun dress
I LOVED this dress! The color is beautiful (prettier in person), it's perfect for dancing, the waist isn't too tight, plenty of room for all cup sizes. Ordered an 8 & 6 for back-up and wore the 6. My only complaint was that the straps/bust area were a little loose, even in the smaller size, as you can see in the photos, but that could've been resolved w/ fashion tape. Sorry for the terrible photos (including the one of me dancing with a broom while cleaning up broke glass..), but I hope you can see how pretty the color was.

Canary Hydrangea Dress

Usual Size: 6

Perfect for a summer semi-formal event
What I loved most: the colors, the comfort (lightweight material & elastic waistband), and style (can be dressed up or worm more casually, depending on your needs). Not constricting at all, elastic waistband makes it great for a long night out without having to sacrifice comfort. Wore a belt to give myself a waist, since it runs a little large, but I don't think I would've needed a belt if I wore the SR. Also a little bit long (doesn't look like it in the pictures, but I did step on the bottom a couple times. This wasn't the dress I originally ordered for this wedding but I'm so thankful to the RTR specialist who found it for me when my first dress didn't work out.

Yulia Maxi Dress

Size Worn: MR
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 6"

Very comfortable, beautiful colors, a bit long for my height
GREAT for getting groovy on the dance floor. Colors are the same as pictured - vibrant and fun. Super comfortable, but you could probably size down for a more fitted look. I wasn't bothered by the thickness of the fabric, in fact, I kind of preferred it, since it kept things a little tighter around the mid-section! The length was a little awkward for my height - it fell right at the bottom of my knees - but I knew that would probably be the case, based on other reviews. It probably would've been more flattering if it was 2" shorter (or if I were 2" taller...).
