Cool dress but top needs structure
I thought this dress was super cool. I loved the sculptural elements on the front but for me, the top did not stay up. I can wear a 12 - 16 depending on designer and maybe I needed a smaller size? Bummer as other reviewers look gorgeous!

Loved this movie star dress
Oh man, I wish I had places to wear this ALL THE TIME. I really loved this dress. I got the 16 as sometimes higher end gowns run small and I think I might have gotten away with the 14 as I had a little room in the bodice but overall, I thought it fit well. The way the waist sits on my short waist made me feel like it gave the illusion of a smaller waist which was a plus. The picture is me without shoes on but worn with 3" heels, the long length worked for me (I'm 5'8"). I felt like I could have worn this to an award show - the front asymmetrical design was really fun. Per other reviewers, the little straps seemed to be cut too long. They slid off so I wore them tucked in. Honestly, if I could have purchased it from RTR for just a smidge less than even the discounted rate, I would have bought it!

Lovely dress, but runs large
I can wear a 12 - 16 depending on designer and based on other reviews, I got a 14. Should have gotten a 12. The dress overall was well made and lovely, but I could have gone a size down. Im 5'8" and the regular length was good on me.

Very pretty, flowy gown
Overall, this dress was quite lovely. Pretty slate blue color and the higher waist was really flattering on me, even though I have a wider ribcage and short waist. It was a bit cleavage-y but other than that, it was really pretty. I'm 5'8" and wore 3" heels with this and the length was good. And heck yeah, I wore it on an errand to Target (picture courtesy of my seven-year-old). Just FYI, the aisles make for a great runway.

They're not lying - this dress is beautiful!
Holy smokes I LOVED this dress! Depending on designer, I wear a 12 - 16 so I got the 16L and it was great. The first try on, the zipper was a little tough, but after that I managed to get it up by myself. The band doesn't have much give so at the end of the night, my ribcage was a little weary, but I loved this dress. Compliments galore, my girls thought I looked like a princess and OH YES, I twirled a lot. It was very flowy and just trailed behind you. I am 5'8" and wore this with 3" heels and the length was fine (just carry it up stairs). And just to get maximum wear, I DID wear this to my kids' school pick up. Why not, right?

Remember it's bridal fashion - order a size up
I can wear a 12 - 16 depending on the designer and this 16 didn't fit me. Well, I couldn't get the zipper up in the back (though I didn't have help to get it up). I have a wider ribcage/large bust so maybe that was it? I remember with bridal fashions that sometimes they are sized way differently so I wish I would have gotten the next size up just to compare but I did not. I didn't end up wearing this, but the dress itself is really pretty. Very flowy and a pretty blush pink.

Lovely color - lots of compliments!
I really loved this dress! I can wear a 12 - 16 depending on designer and have a larger bust and this fit just fine. I am glad I chose the 14 as it fit my chest well. The color is a true kelly green which I think is universally flattering on anyone. The dress was very well made - very thick material and lined. It's a little stretchy but not a lot of give right at the waistband, though I didn't have an issue with that. Actually, it made my waist actually look smaller. Would definitely rent again.

I love this bag! Right size for me!
I ended up buying this bag as I 1. needed a new purse I couldn't fill like Mary Poppins and 2. it had a zipper top which is good when it tips over. I love the size and it has interior pockets that work for me as well as one exterior which I prefer for my phone so I can easily grab it.

This dress was a hit but I had to wear a camisole underneath.
Overall fit was great but the dress was too small in the chest...lots of cleavage. I have a larger bust. Too much for me but otherwise it was a beautiful dress.

Gorgeous dress - just runs small.
The dress was beautiful and fit me alright (I wear a 12 - 16 depending on designer), but it was very tight in the bust (I’m larger chested). I’m hoping a larger size will fit the bust better. But I LOVE this dress and if the other size fits, I'll totally buy it! UPDATE: I purchased the size 16. 14 was okay for me, but really showed bulges as it's very form fitting and has some stretch. It was tight in the bust, too, so the 16 worked better for me.
