The dress was incredible, but I wish I knew that it would be so short. I was 30 weeks pregnant which probably played a big part in the shortness of the dress, but I would order your size PLUS a long version just to be sure! I added a small belt just to help curve to my growing bump. This was the PERFECT dress for this occasion and I couldn't be happier! 

The website wasn't letting me update my sizes, see below:
5'3"
160lbs (at 30 weeks pregnant)
Normal 140lbs 
Athletic build
Bust (at this time) 34D

Normal dress size 4
I tried on a 6R of this dress and it was WAAYYY too short with my belly, but the 8R was pretty good. Wish I had ordered the 8L.

Rented this last minute for our destination wedding as a back up dress and ended up making it my first pick. It fit perfectly and the back of the dress sealed the deal. 

Material is a little thinner than expected.... if you went free boob, you'd have Rachel from friends nips. 

I got compliments on this dress non-stop! It looked incredible, made me look slim and was sooo comfy! Bring as short as i am, i was worries it eould be too long, but it was a perfect fit! Thank you RTR!!!

The fit is true-to-size.  I'm 5'8 and probably should have gotten a long as my heels made the dress a bit short.  However it is shorter in the front versus the back.  Lots of compliments all night long.

I wore this as my second dress for my NYE wedding. It fit so great. I would recommend going with a long if you are my height. I ordered this dress in a 4R and a 6L. The 4 fit great but was too short so I wore the 6L. I wore flat shoes with this dress and it fit perfect with the height.

Dress runs true to size, but is so comfortable! The cut is simple and elegant. You will feel magical all evening!

Love the sparkle of the dress, photographed beautifully.

I received lots of comments on the back of the dress which I paired with a backdrop necklace. I definitely would suggest spanks or tummy control as this dress hugs your stomach. Worked perfectly with 3" heels. Super comfortable!

It was a little short and I am only 5'4'' with heals sitting down it looked strange but standing it was okay. The back was my favorite part so beautiful 

I lucked out on renting this dress. It got rented out very quickly but I kept checking every day until one in my size came back. It was perfect for my NYE micro-wedding. I absolutely loved it; especially the back! The fit was great. Material was sturdy and stretchy but not too heavy. It was a little tricky figuring out boob support. I ended up wearing a low-back Spanx bodysuit for smoothing and a sticky bra underneath for lift. I got a lot of compliments and love how it looks in pictures. 

Fit amazingly and was very comfortable. Simple and elegant. Only other advice is make sure your heels aren't too tall for the front of the dress and obviously have a bra that works with backless. Highly recommend!! 

This dress was a weird length, but really comfortable to wear, especially over my full term pregnancy belly.

This dress was stunning! So luxurious, it draped perfectly and it photographed beautifully. I just wish the long version had been available on the date I needed, because the regular was a bit short for me (I'm 5'7"). Regardless, it nailed the snowman photo theme! @kathleenmhupp 

LOVE this dress. Not a super fan of sequins but they worked on this dress. Perfect fit. Showed off the baby bump great. Stiff fabric so zipper a little tough, but it worked.

As others have said, it is pretty unforgiving in that every pantyline/curve is rather visible, even in sizes that are less snug. I ended up not wearing spanx because it made such dramatic lines. That said, the dress was still quite beautiful and mostly flattering. 

Our wedding was cancelled due to COVID 19, and we decided to have a zoom wedding. My original dress got stuck at the tailor and I was really happy to have found this back up. 

I wore this as my small ceremony backyard wedding dress after my wedding was postponed for Covid. It was SO perfect! I am short (5'2) but it fit me so well! 

I wore this to receive a state award and when I walked on stage to accept, I could hear the audience murmuring about how great this dress is!
I had get special Spanx to go under neath it because it is see through.
Otherwise, the dress is absolutely gorgeous and totally worth wearing Spanx for!

This dress fit perfectly and was so comfortable. I could stand, sit, dance in it without feeling like I needed to adjust anything. The length was perfect for me in heels and I'm 5'5". Compliments all night. 

Both the size 8 and 12 "fit". The 8 was very flattering and tighter, so but I decided to go with the 12 for the fit the be more forgiving in photos. That being said, size down if you want curve hugging and sexy, size up for a classier and more elegant look. We eloped on a beach and this was the perfect dress! 

This dress was exactly what I wanted for my husbands 20s inspired themed party. I paired it with a headband from Amazon and it matched perfectly. I didn't want a flapper dress because that is not flattering so I opted to do this simple sequined dress. The dress is true to size, a tad bit short in the front with heels. The reason I gave it 4 instead of 5 is because where the side zipper lays it bunched up. We tried stretching the underlining to get it to lay flat and it helped a bit.

The dress fit perfectly. I am 5'2" and it just barely brushed the ground in flats. I did wear spanx under as it is not very forgiving. The fabric hugs nicely but wasn't uncomfortable at all. I didn't notice the sequins snagging on anything. This was a perfectly elegant dress for our wedding. The spanx I wore were low back but I still had to be aware of them peeking out the top. Otherwise it was very easy to wear! 

I'm 5'5 and the 2R fell just at my feet in the front and had a subtle train in the back. Was pretty comfortable. There are no cups but the fabric is thick enough to go without a bra (even though I get cold easily). The sequins are understated. It's the idea wedding dress for brides who just don't get excited about wedding dresses

Beautiful dress!!! I received a ton of compliments. Not only was it comfortable, but it was also elegant.  I was nervous about the size four, but surprisingly it fits like a glove! Thankful for the two size option. 

Initially, I was a little concerned that it might be too dressy for such a casual beach wedding however in the end, I felt great in it and it photographed well.  The back is stunning and the length was great.  It is a little stretchy so it hugs nicely to your body.  It is shiny and has sequins on it.  I wore a Nubra with it.
