Fit well, photographed nicely.
Fit well enough, both 6 and 8, but because of the wedding I went to I felt the length was too short and I am a bit busty (34dd) so I had more showing on the sides. I ended up not wearing this to the event. I am 5'7. I wore another color block dress which was a little longer to a wedding later in the summer that was more appropriate in length. The colors of this dress are light and pretty and came out nice in a photograph.

Simple and classy
The dress fit perfectly. The 6 would've been too short for the occasion but 8 was same fit just longer. It was classy and looks great with a tan!

Very pretty, but it was my back up!
It fit true to size. It made me look more curvy because of the way it cut at my hips. My chest held the cut out forward so I didn't have anything hanging out when I sat. It had a very pretty color, but darker than the picture online. I had no problem zipping up and felt so comfortable in it.

Tiiiiight fit!!
This dress is very pretty. I was renting for a wedding and there aren't many reviews so I took a leap of faith in renting this. I am a 36DD and size 6-8 normally, and this was a tight fit. I didn't even try the 6 on. The dress was dark, almost looked black. As I walked around it creeped up a bit (not uncomfortable though). I had to make sure to stand up straight so it wouldn't bunch in the wrong places. It is very form fitting. I would say if you have curves, rent your size up and the next size up, if you are more narrow, normal size. I think I would've definitely been more comfortable in a 10 if I had it.

Piper Ruffle Hem Dress

The original pattern
I ordered up on my size and ended up wearing that, only because I felt the bottom was less poofy and didn't scratch as much (I didn't have to wear any extra garments). I wore this to a wedding in Hawaii and the pattern fit great for the occasion. It was a little heavy for a day in the high 80s, but by sunset i was very comfortable. I wasn't sure how I felt about the high neckline but it was a class dress and I could wear a regular bra with it!

Makes you stand out from the sea of black
I loved this dress. They only had an 8 available and I fall in between sizes (6 and 8) but it worked out. The rouching is nice in the mid section and the dress really shows off your curves in a flattering way. I have trouble finding dresses to fit my top since I am on the larger side (34DD), and this dress was perfect. It rode up a little when I sat down, but nothing I was concerned about. It was stretchy enough to move and dance around in, so I was comfortable all night. I wore this to a wedding and felt like it stood out from a sea of black dresses but was appropriate.

Wildfire Dress

Great dress for formal event.
I ordered my normal size (6) and with the help of other reviews I ordered one size up. I ended up wearing the 8. They both fit but the bust area was too small on the 6. I'm a 34DD. The 8 was perfect. (If I didn't order the 8, the 6 would've worked if necessary but this was a black tie optional NYE wedding and I didn't want to stand out.) I have tons of silver shoes but none worked with this outfit because of the different color silver/blue tone in it, so I wore black strappy sandals and a chunky pearl bracelet. Overall I am really happy with the dress and how it fit. First RTR experience and have already suggested it to other people!
