Soooo small
I loved this dress.. the color, the cut. But I'm a true 4, and this dress was just so very small. I read other reviews and ordered a size up in 6 anticipating the small fit, but even the 6 fit more like a 2 or 0.. I couldn't even zip it up or bend over. I would probably try it again in an 8 or 10, since the Long version actually was long enough for my 5' 10" frame.

Beautiful Dress
I'm 5' 10" and wore this with flats. It was a teeny bit shorter than I'd have liked, but I guarantee I'm the only one that noticed. I'd say it's probably the perfect length for 5'8" or 5'9" in flats, or someone 5'5-6" in heels. Compliments all night, loved this dress.

I. Love. This. Dress.
This ended up being my back up to the back up dress...but by far my favorite RTR to date. The original dress I ordered didn't fit & was slightly damaged, and the backup dress was way too short, so RTR's amazing customer service sent me this one. It's way out of any price range I'd ever considered for a rental, but I absolutely loved it, and will be buying it when RTR is ready to sell. It was perfect for my office Christmas party this year...a little more substantial fabric, so I was warm enough, festive green color, and special without being inappropriate. I'm used to other women gushing, so that happening all night was no surprise, but I received multiple VERY appreciative compliments from the men all night as well. As far as the fit... I'm a little taller, so sometimes it's difficult to find dresses in a decent length, but this one was perfect. I guess you could say the fit is a little bit loose, but it's so well tailored that I thought it was perfect. Such a fun change not to have to tug, yank, and smooth all night long! I was able to wear a normal bra, which is always a plus. The fabric was heavier, with a very pleasant give to it - since it was not skin tight, I did not see any need for Spanx or shapewear - nothing negative showed. I loved that this dress was still flattering even though I have a smaller bust...I'm barely a B, but I thought this dress looked amazing. The great thing about this dress is that I believe it would compliment a wide range of bust sizes...there was plenty room for more, but it did not gape or look too big on me. Thanks RTR!! Always a great experience.

Pretty dress, but...
I was so excited to wear this dress... it looked like the perfect dress for an office party; somewhat conservative with the length and sleeves, but much more special than anything I'd wear to work with the open back. What you cannot tell from the picture is that the slip underneath the lace is extremely low-cut. I tried it on with a skin-colored stick on strapless bra, and you could still see the top of it peeking out. The size 6 I had for a back up was a little better, but then I had a lot of extra fabric hanging off my top half, and the lace part on the back of the 6 was ripped a little anyway. I'm a 34B, but on the small side... So I'd say be sure to have a back up plan with this dress, if you are any smaller than a FULL B cup. The skirt part was pretty snug and not very forgiving, but I've gained a bit this year, so I think it's still pretty true to size. Only other thing that was weird was the little slit in the back... it didn't really sit flat, it kind of flipped out at the hem. When I went back and looked at the pic on the website, you can kind of tell, but you have to be looking for it. Not necessarily a deal breaker, but it was a little strange.
