planned to wear it to a history museum local citizen awards dinner
I felt the slightly smaller XL was a better fit. I was a part of a group that at the last minute decided to wear black cocktail style dresses. SO I was unable to wear my selected dress. I did notice that at 5' 2" it seemed a little long but I loved the print and it was a wrap that did not fly open. IF I have an opportunity where I need a happy green print I would love to get the dress again and actually wear it.

Ruching can make the stomach be accentuated!
I like the reversible aspect. I'll admit the floral pattern for me was a NO thank you but for some women it might be a positive choice. The ruche hits the stomach abdomen area which made me glad I had a shape wear that kept all at bay. The length was fine for those who are short. I am 5' 2" and with flats still felt work dressy. I wore it to a noon luncheon. I was glad I made this choice.

Makes you feel happy to wear it
I'm short, and my figure has gone the way of all flesh but I still felt pretty. I think if you are under 5'4 make sure you wear heels to be a bit more elevated. The colors were so happy spring like. I like runway when it works it really works. I'll see if I show up in any picture and if so will post it.

Pink Floral Shirt Dress
Derek Lam 10 Crosby x RTR
Size Worn: 50
Usual Size: 14

I'm 5'2" and wore a low heel so I did not drag the floor. If I can find a picture I'll post.
I wore a tummy shape wear for my bottom half so I felt smoother. I also adjusted the deep split at the front by using a brooch to close it a bit. That has more to do with my comfort and my height. I think if I were 2 " higher I probably would not have felt so exposed.

The v neck is probably too low for ordinary work events but I wore it with a camisole and it was fin
I wore it to a spring themed luncheon for mother's day and felt feminine, carefree and attractive. RTR has restored my faith in wearing dresses.

Pretty color and girly ambiance
I like this dress a lot. It was nicely lined; it works well with a strapless bra and above all else it fits the body but does not make you feel that it is too tight. It's been a while since I felt this way about a dress so I was actually happy in this dress.

Short people can't wish height issues away.
I thought the dress had a sophisticated air that I liked but in the future I will NOT ignore my height. Regular length gowns do NOT make sense on me.

Really acknowledge sizing
I love the look of this dress but size 12 was not for me; I should have opted for a size 14 or simply found another dress. I felt stuffed in the 12 and did not want my breasts so displayed. I love the basic style though.
