Runs small, but great dress...
I rented this as a backup dress for a black tie wedding. After reading the reviews, I ordered one size up (a 6) however even that was too small. As you can see in the picture, it was mostly too small in the waist/stomach area and pulled awkwardly. The rest of the dress fit well and I would have loved to have been able to wear it.

I wanted to love it...
I rented this in hopes of wearing it to a black tie wedding, however when it arrived I was so disappointed. The 4 fit "okay" but was tight in the chest and too flowy in the hips. The 6 was even bigger in the problem areas, although I could wear a strapless bra with that one. The color is amazing, but the material was kind of low quality - as my roommate pointed out, you could see the ribbing in the bodice and it made the dress look cheap.

Obsessed!
This was actually a dress that I found in the RTR Flagship store when the dresses I rented both let me down. I wore this to a black tie wedding and couldn't have been happier with the choice. I'm 5'2 and with heels, the dress just touched the floor. The dress fit incredibly and was so comfortable. I wore a strapless bra with no issues.

Great Wedding Dress
The dress fit amazingly, and really hugs your curves in a good way. I felt like you could see my stomach "fat" so I wore a pair of spanx and was good to go! I received a ton of compliments on the dress throughout the night. It was comfortable to dance in, and photographed really well. I went with a strapless sticky bra (which normally does work for me) but the tighter fit of the dress around my chest held everything in place!

I wore this dress to my friends' April wedding in New Jersey.
I was unsure how I would feel about this dress because I thought the cut of the dress was a bit awkward, however after trying it on, I LOVED it. The dress itself fit really well and was incredibly comfortable. I got so many compliments on it throughout the night.
