This dress runs SMALL! I'm a size 8 so I got the 10 and even that too two people to get me into. I am also a size 36D and it took a bit of effort to get the girls stuffed in this thing. It all worked out tho!

Second this request, pretty please! You look AMAZING! Congrats :D


I am sorry I am new here, are the dresses only offered in the displayed colors? 

Hi A! 
Congrats on your engagement! Your photo is beautiful! Do you have your other photos online anywhere? I'm interested in a vintage themed engagement photo shoot also and would love to be able to get some other ideas for some beautiful photos!

Thanks!

I had my photos done by White Haute Photography (www.whitehautephotography). My photos have not been publicly posted on their blog yet, but they have tons of dreamy photos on their website and blog.  Enjoy! =)

sorry, it's www.whitehautephotography.com

I'm 5'2" -- do you think it'll be too long (it's for my wedding, in the  back yard of our house...) Thank you!


I am a size 0, and the 2R fit perfectly! It does run small.  I agree with the other reviewers with the cap sleeves being a little bit snug, but I didn't mind it too much.  I wore this dress for my vintage romance themed engagement photo shoot.  Compliments galore.  I felt like a princess and my fiance also loved the dress! =)

Regular length was fine for a kitten heel. The dress was so flattering. However sometimes hard not to trip on all the tulle! Also, the elastic had worn out in one of the sleeves so it wouldn't stay on my shoulder, but I made it work. The 4 was slightly tight, but I have a wide rib cage. I could still move in it. Highly recommend.

This dress fit pretty perfectly. The only issue I had with it was the cap sleeves were a little restricting. It was impossible to move my arms above my shoulders (which made it harder to dance). Nonetheless, I felt so beautiful and was getting complements ALL NIGHT!

 I'm not sure if I made a silly mistake of not reading the sizing chart properly but the dress I ordered was a size 10. After not understanding how extremely small it was on me, I had my friend who is a usually size 6 try it on to see if I was going crazy and she barely fit in it.  I still ended up using the gown because it was GORGEOUS and photographed extremely well but I had to clip the back together. It flows very well and makes you definitely feel like a princess. The dress itself deserved 5 stars and had me in awe but due to the sizing confusions I probably wouldn't rent it again. 

I have a wide ribcage so the 6L was a bit of a squeeze around the ribs and maybe a little long for me at 5' 9." Otherwise this dress was actually magical. 

I got compliments all night, it was the perfect princess dress. 

Runs pretty small & goes faster than other dresses so order early. Lots of layers so pretty hot if your event is outside during summer. Needed help in & out of it for sure. Loved this dress. It was hard to let go of. I'm 5'4" & the length was perfect. 

I used this gorgeous gown as an alternative wedding dress. The fit was snug. I was 8 weeks pregnant at the time with a growing waist and chest. I ordered a 10L thinking it would be perfect. I couldn't get the zipper past my waist! Thank goodness I got the 12L as a backup. It was still snug but at least it fit! It is made for an hourglass body. The only concern I had was how busty the top was. I constantly had to pull up the top to cover my chest. Overall this dress was fabulous! It felt magical. Perfect for a non traditional bride. 

More chest than I would have been comfortable with dancing in at the reception, but it was perfect for the ceremony at the venue, the very romantic looking palace of fine arts in San Francisco. I rented the size 8 and size 6. Luckily, the size 6 fit better, since the size 8 had one sleeve that looked like it had been ripped and repaired, which made one sleeve really tight, while the other was noticeably larger. I wore the regular length with flats, so if you are taller, get the longer one. It was a bit of a gamble to use RTR for my wedding, since if the 6 wasn't the one that fit me, I would have had to have worn the reception dress for the ceremony and the reception.

PROS:
-Designer gown!! 
-Material was not cheap, felt like i was wearing $3k
-Built in corset=No Bra!
-Colour looks good on anyone
-Worn by celebrities
-Moves in a glamorous way/flowy
-Smelled new

CONS:
-Too short, I'm 5'9 and after reading reviews I believed that getting a 10R was right. I was WRONG
- Hard to breathe , can be a little too tight when sitting down
- Couldn't move my arms up, sleeves were too constricting. 
-Sleeve material made me itch
-NEEDED TWO PEOPLE TO ZIP UP 

As soon as I pulled the dress out of the box it was love at first site.  I knew the dress ran small so I went up two sizes, to the 8.  At 5'6 (almost 5'7) I knew I needed the long but they were sold out for the weekend I rented so I had to go with 8R and it was floor length.  The arms holes are small and snug but the rest of the dress fit fine.  I have never gotten so many compliments before, many people told me I was best dresses.  My husband and I both thought I looked just as beautiful in this dress as I did on my wedding day (if not more).  Would recommend this dress to anyone!!! 

This dress is the most amazing thing I will wear until my wedding. I already miss it. I am typically between a 4 and a 6 but after reading the reviews I saw it ran small so I got an 8R. They were out of all the other sizes around 8L but thankfully it fit perfectly. It was about 2 inches off the floor with my shoes on (I'm 5'6 and my shoes were 4') but I actually preferred it because then the gown didn't get dirty. It still took two people to zip me up, there is a tight corset zipper then the dress zipper that I just couldn't do it myself. So I would definitely recommend going one size up from your regular size. But seriously everyone I saw said I looked like a princess and I really felt like one. Best dress ever.

Does run a tad but small. I'm very petite in the chest area and it fit pretty snug. If I was any larger than an A cup I would have had trouble getting into it. Don't plan on lifting your arms. Also, the dress is a lot heavier than it looks. Lots of tulle make it hard to pick up when you're walking up/down stairs. It's well worth it though!

I rented this dress for my engagement photos and it couldn't have been more perfect dress. Pros: its elegant and fairytale like with beautiful fabrics and design. Cons: it definitely runs small and it cuts at the waist so in some of my pictures, I look heavier then others because of the waistline. I am a true 8 and the 10L was a snug fit, plus I could not put the cap sleeves over my shoulders so I wore them hanging which worked out fine. I would say error on the side of large and know that if you have a shorter waist, this will not help matters. If you are tall, it should be fine. 

Runs a little small. The full skirt is really stunning on. 

This dress was so dreamy!  I wore it to sing in a wedding and it was perfect!  It was blush/pink enough not to compete with the bride.  I'm 5' 4"/130lbs and I usually wear a 4 in RTR but only the 4P was available.  It fit just a little snug in the chest area, but it just made me look more endowed than I am ;).  It has a built in bra-like corset, so I didn't have to wear a bra.  The length was fine because I wore cowboy boots for this outdoor wedding, but would have been too short if I wanted to wear heels so be sure to go for the long if you're looking to wear heels.  This fairy tale dress sure is fun to wear, dance in and makes you feel like a princess!

An ethereal dress.   Felt like a princess. No bra needed although you will need someone else to zip you in. Next size up may have fit more comfortably. 

This dress is absolutely beautiful. I definitely felt like a princess running around, carrying tulle everywhere. This dress was quite snug, considering I had a pretty hearty lunch prior to this "spur of the moment" photo shoot with a friend. The length of the dress was perfect with 2.5 inch heels. The sleeves are pretty and whimsy, but didn't allow for much range of motion in crossing arms across my chest. The back of the dress was an odd fit for me, looked like I had wings. But other than, it's a stunning piece.

I decided to go with a non-traditional wedding dress for our non-traditional wedding. I fell in love with this dress, and kept coming back to it. It arrived the night before the wedding, later in the day, which had me more than a little nervous. They were out of a 10, which would have been a perfect fit, I think. I ended up with an 8 and a 12; the 8 wouldn't zip, the 12 fit, but was a little big in the shoulders. The boning in the bodice was great, and the length was perfect for my 5'5". I wore 2" heels, and the dress skimmed the floor. Overall, I couldn't have been more pleased with the dress. It made my day that much more special.

This dress was so amazing. I wore it for engagement photos. I knew ordering it that it ran small but they didn't have the size up available so I took a gamble. When I first tried it on we were not able to get it zipped. I had to get creative, i held my boobs out of the dress, had my partner zip it up then shoved my boobs back in. The dress was tight but comfortable when zipped. I could sit comfortably. There's so much fabric to the dress it's absolutely amazing. The sleeves are very constricting and make it almost impossible to raise your arms, but not too inconvenient since I only wore the dress for pictures. I love this dress so much and it made my pictures amazing.
